Superior Court.

The Fall Term Of Lee Superior
Court convened promptly at nine
o'clock last Monday morning, Judge
". a. Littleiohn presiding.
After organizing the iuries, Judge
Littleiohn delivered to the grand
jury his charge in his usual concise,
able and succinct manner, perhaps
stressing more than any other the
prevailing idea that the laws cannot
be enforced, especially the law for
bidding the sale Of whiskey. The
reasoning Of the judge was very con-
vincing that itacan be enforced, if
the officers, citizens and juries
would do their duty in faithful
manner We agree with his honor's
position; for from years Of expert
ence in the court room, we are sure
that if the good people will make
up their minds to do their duty and
5ulake an honest effort that it will
-be enforced, and blind tigers will
be routed from their lairs. We
have a mind to give in the near
future orr idea on this subject more
at length as we are convinced that
st can be done.

MIS7RIAL DECLARED
IN CHILDERS CASE
JUDGE Ordered R. G. Kennedy R8Ieas
ed From Custody,
Over One Hundred Taesmah We're Exhausted VERY Likely
that Next Trial viii Have to be Removed 70 Another
County in Southwestern Circuit.

This case or rather the poisoning
of his wife, Mrs. Eta Childers, has
caused a sensation over q large part
Of the nation, and is the local point
Of interest during this term Of the
court. The civil docket was conf.
.pleted by Tuesday afternoon, and
the Judge drew TOO tales jurors who
we're summoned to appear Wednes-
day morning, the gradd jury having
returned ali indictment for murder
against Nj. NJ. s. Childers for the
murder Of his wife, Mrs. Eta
Childers. Wednesday morning the
cose was called and the State an
nounced ready, when the defendant
filed a plea in abatement, on the
ground that the Bill was passed IN
the srand jury BY only Il Jurors,
when, as they claimed there should
have been 10, to this the State filed
q demurrer and the demurrer was
sustained and the plea ordered
stricken. The defendant then filed
4 demurrer, on the ground that IN
the Indictment the word strich-
Inc was used instead Of the word
strychnine, as the fatal dose from
which death ensued. This demurr-
Ell was oyerruled, and the defense
called for an answer to their sub
.pnna duces teeum requiring the
production Of certain lists Of names
Of parties who had subscribed to a
fund to ferret out the guilty party,
and, in the Investigation Of this it
was aseertained thot Messrs. " Il.
Turner, w. F. McAfee, Walter
Cowart and others had aided in get
ting up this list, upon which were
many names subscribed to a fund
used in employing counsel to prose
cute M. S. ChiIders. The jury up
on being put upon their yoir dire,
a number we're set aside by reason
Of this, and after using something
over 100 names the jury was COM
pleted soon after the noon recess,
and the trial was on. The State
used 10 or IA witnesses, but all the
evidence was circumstantial, moth
ing pointed directly to fhe Rguilt Of
the accused, and the State rested
just before the noon recess on
Thursday, when, after consultation
on the part Of the counsel for the
defense, they announced that the
defendant would make his state
ment and closed and argument was
begun by Col. Joe Hudson, Of coun-
sci for defense about 20 minutes be-
fore three p. M, followed by So
llicitor-Genefal j R. Williams, and
Col. Wilkerson, Of Dawson, for the
State, and Col. Blalock closed fol
the defense about nine thirty, and
after a clear and fair charge By
Judge Littleiohn, the case was giyer
to the jury who retired to theil
room. The general opinion was one
expecting quick verdict, and q
large number, a verdict of aequittal,
After waiting until nearly midnight.
the jury was sent to quarters for the
nighe. The next morning every
one expected a verdict would soor
be returned, but as the day passed
on the the prospects Of mistria'
grew more and more evident, anC
about 4 p. m. a mistrial was order
ed, the jury standing 8 to4 and i
lis rumored the majority for con
viction.

The grand jury adjourned Friday
afternoon about 4 O'Clock, and fail
Ing to indict R. g. Kennedy, the
court upon application Of the So
licitor, ordered him discharged It
is common talk here that. Solicitor
General Williams refused to place
before the grand jury for their
action, bill against Kennedy,
though it is said be was requested to
do 50. This action Of the Solicitor
is questioned by manyfk We give it
as part Of the news in this case for
what it is worth, as many do not
understand this action on his part,
and would like to know the reason.
It is a serious question as to
whether a qualified jury can be had
in this county. Now, which if true,
might require the removal Of the
case to another county, entailing
heavy expense upon the county.
