TRIAL By JURY"
Residents of Hargadine Heights Get
Into Court.

A case unique in judicial annals
was the one called before Judge
Kramer, in Hargadine street cham
Ders, at recent special term,
involving a charge of abandon
ment, the defendant barely es-
Gaping the penalty through the
brilliant effort of counsel in
proving no malice aforethought.
The attention of c. w. Chattin
was arrested upon the charge
aforesaid, that of leaving the state
with the intent of visiting Texas.
without permission OF family and
nelghbors, WHICH is considered a mis-
demeanor under Hargadine statutes.
Ihose in attendance at the hearing
were Mrs. and Mr.. Chattin, PLAINTIFF
and defendant respectively; Mr.. and
Mrs. C.. B. Lamkin, Mr.. and Mrs.
Fleet, Mr.. and Mrs. Kramer. Mr.. H.
X. Lamkin, Mrs. Mckenzie. Mrs. Ell
lis, Mrs. Ervine, Miss Stevenson. Mrs
Jones and Miss Jones. Judge Kra-
mer presided. Mrs. Lamkin, as sher-
lff, served the papers. The case was
tried by a jury consisting of Mes
danes Mckenzie, Ellis, Fleet and
Jones. Hon. c. B. Lamkin appeared
for the plaintiff, while Mrs. Ervine
won her first case at the bar by de-
tending the recalcitrant husband.
After much difficulty witnesses were
subpoenaed in the persons of Mrso
Kramer, Miss Hazel Jones. Mr.. H. R.
Lamkin and Mr.. Fleet, whose testi-
mony pointed plainly towards the in
nocence of the accused and the Jury
found accordingly, although the YER
dict was compromise one, the Judge
ruling that the defendant, in view of
MS acquittal, should set up a lot of
the choicest candies to the whole
crowd, which suggestion was duly en-
tered on the docket and made a mat
ter of record. During the arguments
OF counsel there was a high tense of
expectancy and excitement Delicate
men almost went into Mysteries, while
great, strong women, Injured to al
most any degree of privation and suf-
ferlng, went into the dining room
and prepared repast in keeping with
the happy denouement.
There is talk, however, of taking
an appeal. The fact must be con-
fessed that the jury consisted of only
four, instead of six as by law pro-
vided, and moreover it was packed
one of suffragettes. There are also
rumors of tampering with the testi-
mony, some of those present being
ready to affirm that they overheard
ii. r. Lamkin, star witness for the
prosecution, conversing very earnest
ly, outside of the witness box. with
young woman over important mat
ters considered relevant to a case in
court. The judge has taken this new
phase of the matter under advise
ment, and in the meantime will con-
suit the work of Robert Louis Steven
son and other authorities as to his
further jurisdiction in the premises.
In the meantime the defendant,
Mr.. Chattin, is in Texas, under pa
role, investigating a business propo-
sition, he having left early in the
week with the understanding that he
would not place himself beyond the
pale of due process of law-should his
merry neighbors conclude to have
him undergo the ordeal of a second
trial.
