CASES DECIDED BY SUPREME COURT
  Negro Granted New Trial for Murder LOCAL CASES HEARD
Cases Involving Large Cotton Trans. actions Are Acted on by Court. Justice Mcclellan Gives Opin-
 ion on Murder Case

Montgomery, November Speeial) Tom Jackson, Clarke county negro who was sentenced to be hanged by the circuit court of that county for the killing of Charles Coats, a deputy sher- if, early in the summer of this year, has been granted a new trial by the supreme court in decision handed down by that tribunal today.
 The Jackson case is considered one of the most interesting criminal cases that the supreme court has passed upon fyl some time. Jackson was accused of killing, or being a party to the killing, of Deputy Sheriff Coats last summer, which resulted in the lynching of Ben Jackson, the father of the defendant, by an angry mob of white citizens.
 Evidence tended to show, however, and this was the principal ground for reversal of the case, that Coats had heen shot by Ben Jackson. who was later lynched.
 The evidence also tended to show that Coats had gone to the home of the Jacksons to make an arrest without having informed them that he was an officer of the law; that Coats fired the first shot, and that later the elder ne- gro shot the deputy with a shotgun, killing him. Tom Jackson, the son, ran off, was later arrested and tried 1t a special term of court. He was con- yicted and sentenced to be hanged on August g. but execution of sentence was suspended pending an appeal to the supreme court.

PROHIBITIONISTS ROAST EN-
TIRE POLITICAL WORLn

ATLANTIC CITY, N. e, July TO-
President Taft. Col Roosevelt and
the Republican and Democratic par
ties in general, were attacked here
today at the opening of the eleventh
national prohibition convention.
Clinton Howard of Chester, N. Y,
temporary chairman, made speec.,
which bristled with denunciation of
the "boss ridden liquor controlled old
parties He declared nothing in the
way Of real reform could be gained
from either of them or from third
party dominated by Colonel Roose-
welt.
''No other president since the foun-
dation of this government" declared
Mr. Howard ''has surrendered more
sbjectly to the liquor interest of this
nation than has William Howard Taft.
His record is too recent, familiar ana
odoriferous to require a review in this
intelligent presence"
Mr.. Howard said it would be Grim
inal waste of time to argue that the
liquor traffic could be stamped out
through the .RG2yhiican-. party...hy.-its
silent" platform. It's present and un-
worthy leadership, its long consist
ent liquor record and it's present mon
opoly, nutured candidate, who obtained
his nomination at the hands of con-
vention, which Theodore Roosevelt de-
clared represented nothing but sue
cessful political fraud, perpetrated in
to the interests of political and fin
ancial privileges.
"And what better results can be
expected from the Democratic party"
he asked. "Not only as little, but less
than nothing at all. Exactly the same
influence that poisoned the Republican
party at Chicago We're in control at
Baltimore"
