r. Emmons, of Tucker, Plays Double Role in Circuit
 Court.
'sHE IS CCESSF FIJI
Judge Grace Instructs Jury to Bring in Verdict of ''NOt Guilty
 The Charge.

T. Emmons, formerly an agent for the Cotton Belt at Sherrill, Ark, played the double role of defendant and attorney in the Jefferson circuit court yesterday and managed to score victory over Judge W. D. Jones the learned and brilliant law yer who represented the state. Elm mons was charged with embezzle- ment. After hearing all of the evil dence in the case Judge A. B. Grace instructed the jury to return yer dict of mot guilty and the jurors decided the case without even leaving the jury box Emmons then walked cut of the court room a proud and Happy man.
 Emmons was indicted some months ago by the Jefferson county grand jury on a charge of misappropriating s20 which had been left in his care, with other belonging to the Cotton Belt railroad company. This hap l ened on December 9, 1907. The oney was left with him by W. B. Miller, agent for the railroad who went to Beebe, Ark, on brief visit. Emmons being familiar with the of- flee, he called on him to take charge Of the affairs during his absence. Up- on his return En1mons informed him that someone had entered the sta tion while he was attending a train and had stolen $20 from the office. The money belonged to the agent. None of the company's money was missing. After some days Miller ask ed for the arrest of Emmons, and an indictment resulted.
 Emmons would not employ a law yer, but announced that he would de- fend himself. He was permitted to do so by Judge Grace and with clev- erness questioned the jurors and in- terrogated the witnesses with good effect. He also made his opening statement to the jury Tn selecting jurors Emmons asked each of them if the fact that the prosecuting wit ness being a cripple would influence them in rendering a verdict. Upon being answered in the negative En- r1ons accepted them. Several wit nesses were heard by each side

thing, because it was so near the hori-
zon that surface dusts and fog from the
ocean would likely explain the color,
