Baird Suit Reversed By US.
Court at Cincinnati.
Not Believed that Plaintiff Will
Be Left With Cause
of Action.

A telegram received by the attor-
neys for Ohio county in the case OF
A. B. Baird against the county, from
Cincinnati, Wednesday brought the
good news that the United States
Court of Appeals for this district had
reversed the Judgment of district
Judge Walter Evans, and remanded
the case. We have not received a
copy of the opinion but it is reasona-
bly, certain that this will end the lit
igation as a decision upon any OF the
points contended for by the attorneys
for the defense will make further
prosecution of the suit on behalf OF
Baird impossible. This litigation
has caused wide spread interest
among the citizens and tax payers OF
Ohio county, because OF the peculiar
conditions surrounding the claimed
Indebtedness and the large amount
involved. The note originally
amounted to something over $4,000,
but with the accrued interest, for
about fourteen years, and court costs
would have brought the amount up
to something like $4,000, had 1t
gone against the county. In all the
litigation the county has been rep
resented by Attorneys Heavrin K
Woodward and Barnett & Smith.
They have never had much doubt
ABOUT the ultimate result of the case
although bitterly disappointed at the
decision of the lower court. 1t is I'M
necessary here to recount the condi-
lions under which Baird claimed that
fhis Indebtedness occurred. as we
have heretofore published in detail
a number of times the entire history
of yhe case. The long time when
had elapsed and the death Of almost
oil of the members Of the Fiscal
Court who at that time could have
known much concerning the transac-
ton made it a very difficult case to
practice on behalf of the county.
The receipt of the telegram here
Wednesday, announcing the result at
Cincinnati, caused wide spread JOY
and satisfaction among Ohio county
citizens and the glad news was tele-
phoned to various parts of the coun-
ty to those who had been witnesses
on behalf of the county at the vari-
GUS trials. The case was recently
argued in Cincinnati by Attorneys
Woodward and Smith for the county
and Attorney R. w. Slack, Owens
boro, on behalf of Baird.

Simpson Case Now on Trial
Special Term Will Close
Tomorrow.

A special term of the Ohio Cir
cult Court was begun here last Mon
day morning at O'Clock. with Judge
7. F. Birkhead presiding, and Hon.
VIII. Barnes acting Commonwealth s
Attorney pro TEN. The term was
convened for the purpose of trying
Com tn. VS.. Otis Beard, charged with
murder and Com'th. VS.. George Slmp-
son. charged with incest. The Beard
case was called first and he was ably
prosecuted by acting Common
wealth's Attorney Barnes and Coun-
ty Attorney, c. E. Smith. Being de-
Tended by Attorneys Heavrin &
Woodward. The case was tried by a
jury composed of the following Ohio
county citizens: Joe Robertson, Will
liam l.. Leach. J. NJ. Vincent, ]. w.
Duvall, Yes Dickens, NJ. w. Barnard,
Ellis Mitchell, e. E. Tinsley, Tom
Brown, 8. T. Barnett, Will Delaney,
L. l.. Embry. After being out over
night, the jury returned verdict Of
guilty and fixed the punishment of
Beard at twenty-one years con;'ne-
ment in the penitentiary. It was with
some difficulty that the jury reached
a verdict, as a number Of them were
for life sentence. The court at trst
took the position that the new law
which takes from the jury the fixing
of punishment should hold in these
cases, bat afterward reversed hint
self and decided that as the offense
had been committed and prosecution
begun under the old law that they
must continue under it,
In the case of Simpson, his attor-
neys made a motion for change OF
venue and filed affidavits of num-
Der of people in support of same. but
the court overruled the motion and
the case went to trial. Common
wealth's Attorney Ringo having ar
rived, took charge of the prosecution
and made the opening statement for
the Commonwealth. After quite a
number of challenges upon the part
of the defense the following jury WAS
finally empaneled to hear the case:

made out aginst Simpson and the
trial is being concluded as We go to

the attorneys for the Commonwealth
that a verdict will be reached this
time. The former trial resulted in
a hung jury. Both these cases have
been stubbornly fought on both sides
