ACCUSED MURDERER
DEMANDED JURY TRIAL
BEFORE MAGISTRATE.

Jackson, Miss, Dec. 15.-Attorney-
General 8. S. Hudson, in an official
ruling issued to the county attorney
of Coahoma county, Charles w. Clark,
sets that official clear as to the right
of trial by jury in felony cases, and
holds that where a person is charged
with felony the preliminary trial must
take place before a magistrate, and
the accused has no right to demand
hearing by jury.
At preliminary hearing at Clarks-
dale in which County Attorney Clark
was representoing the state the de-
PENDANT, under charge of murder, in
sisted that he was entitled to trial by
jury. The contention, strange to say,
was not absolutely unique, as Mr..
Clark says that he had encountered
it on several previous occasions. The
ruling OF the Attorney General is con-
elusive, and to the effect that magis-
trates only must hear evidence at pre-
linminary trials and either commit
or release the prisoner,

Since the completion of the govern

permission from the treasury depart

there was a certain amount of red

the order could be given, and 1t was
only yesterday that Mr.. Collins receiv-

In an instant he made up his mind
to visit once more the old-fashioned
cottage not many miles away, to
which he had hoped fifteen years be-
fore to take a bride. He would go
and soc it, even If its neglected con.
dition only added to his loneliness
and pain.
Two hours later he was striding
through the crisp country air along
winding path which led to . ram

As the last turn brought him in
sight of the house he stopped In sur.

ruin, and decay, but instead he looked
upon q trim, well-kept cottage, and a
soft, grooming song, In voice which
reawakened the tender memories Of
long ago, came floating through the
Unmatched door.
Half believing that 1t must be fancy
leading him still, he entered the house
softly. and, following the voice, went
into the inner room, and stood in the
glow of the warm freight.

singer turned as his shadow fell

the office records and documents can
be removed at once and this will be

in the new postoffice are being num-

proved conditions.
BY getting into the new and COM
modious building before the holiday
rush the public and office clerks will
both be greatly benefited and the
business handled with much more dis
patch and satisfaction. But the pub
lie must not think that because the
office has been moved to its new
home that the patrons will at once
be given the improved service expect
ed to come from the change, for it
will take time for the clerks to get
acquainted with the new boxes, and
new methods of distributing the mail.
Consideration of this fact is due the
office clerks who at all times have
given the best service they could I'M
