SATURDAY NIGHT
 ROW AT CORD0VA J. A. Murphy Believed Fa-
 tally Wounded ARE THREE VICTIMS No Clue to Who Did the Shooting. Believed Bullets Were Meant for
 Deputy Sheriff John
 Davidson

Cordova September 21.-tSpecial. )- Joe Murphy, bridge foreman of the Southern railway. is probably fatally shot; Giber Minor, employed at Indian head Mills. wounded in the leg. and John Davidson, deputy sheriff. face badly powder burned, are the net re- suits of some wild shooting at the entrance to the drug store here abou. s o'clock tonight
 The witnesses to the pyrotechnical display apparently lost their memory from the intense excitement as 1t Is impossible to learn at this time who did the shooting and what for. How ever 1t sifts through that, as usual. on Saturday evenings the streets and stores were well filled with people and the three injured men stood at or near the cigar stand in the drug store among quite crowd of people. MT. Murphy had just a moment before ent- cred and was purchasing cigar. Sud denly as others entered the shooting began and the crowd scattered. Mr.. Davidson sldestepped shot that burned his face Another caught Mir Minor in the leg and one entered Mir Murphy's head just above the ear, com- ing out under the eye. Three shots were fired and were evidently meant for Davidson.
 MT. Murphy. who is of very fine char acter, is a cool, deliberate sort Of per son. and did not move out Of the way as quickly as others who became panic stricken or he could possibly have saved himself The utmost sympathy Is expressed for him on all sides as he was well liked by everyone who knew him. His wounds were dressed here and Southern engine hastily hred, caboose attached and MT. Murphy put aboard on a cot and headed for St. Vincent's hospital by 9 o'clock No arrests have been made so far, but evidence is expected to materialize soon.

INSANITY THE DEFENSE
Berlin, Sept. 21.-EmotionaI
insanity has arrived in Germany.
1t will be the defense of Nine.
Blume, who shot and killed her
husband, Prof. Biunne, Of the
Kaiser FREDERICK Museum.
Mrs. Blume is only % years
old, and pretty. Her husband was
about so, and very learned in the
sciences. But he didn't know
enough to pay good; deal of at
tention to his young and pretty
wife.
When Blume was found dead
from bullet wound a week ago,
Nine. Blune said the shooting
must have been accidental
Then the police found in the
dead professors pocket a written
confession, signed by Nine.
Blume, of a love affair she had
had with another man.
The police arrested Nine.
Blume, and put her through a reg
ular American third degree. She
confessed, and added that she
thought she must have been suf-
fering from emotional insanity at
the time.
Over here, emotional insanity
is called dementia Americanitis.

Too much procedure. too much

three imps that so often defeat the
ends OF Justice
The greatest hardship to the
poor litigant IL the delay occasion
