HIGDON PLEASED AT
OUTCOME OF CASE

The reversal by the state supreme
court yesterday of the case of E. L..
Higdon ct al VS.. Charles r. Stuckey
caused considerable comment among
the citizens of the city who are familiar
with the matter. The case had been
appealed from the Jefferson county
circuit court and. had arisen out of d
|raid made by the deputies of the
sheriff's office on local hotel in which
some thirty arrests were made for gam
bling.
In speaking of the reversal yester-
day afternoon, Sheriff E. l.. Higdon
me by Charles Stuckey because he al
legged that deputies representing my
office had arrested him in a raid on a
gambling house when he was not a
member of the gamblers. He alleged
that he entered the hotel after the
squad of deputy sheriffs had arrived and
that he did not know what was going on
until he was arrested and charged with
gaming.
"The case was tried here before Judge
A. o. Lane in the county circuit court
and Judgment was rendered against
me for $500. 1t was claimed by the
court that the warrant on which the
raid was made should have been sworn
out before justice of the peace in
stead of before Judge Samuel f. Greene,
the senior Judge of the county courts.
That the senior judge of the county did
not have the powers that were vested
in justice of the peace was the point
in the decision that was disputed, and
the case was therefore appealed to
the supreme court of the state. The
case was reversed and remanded and
will now be given another trial.
IF the verdict of the county court
had stood the sheriff of Jefferson coun-
ty would have been placed in
strange position. Before he could servo
"a raid warrant, it would have been
necessary for him to see If the war
rant was sworn by the right court and
attend to lot of other red tape thai
would greatly delay the efficient and
effective action of the office. The peo-
pie of the county would soon be asAin.
what was the matter with the sheriff's
office and the sheriff would be sent
back to the farm to raise cotton.
LAS soon as the decision was handed
down by the county court every single
one of the men who were arrested in
that raid brought suit against the
sheriffs office. Since the case has Teen
reversed the matter will probably not
look so pleasant to them"
