ing to elect a President of the United

Before his removal TO the keystone

Gence In the National Capital is two years

Both Old Telegraphers.
Both are old-time teIegraphers. Not
the first to touch the keys, in a profess

probably no telegrapher alive whose

RULES AGAINST RETR|AL
AFTER Fifteen YEARS
Supreme Court Announces De.
cision in Case of w. E.
BreeSe and J. E. Dickerson.

After more than fifteen years the Su-
preme Court of the United States has
decided that no grounds exist for a re-
trial Of William E. Breese of Brevard. N.
G., and Joseph z. Dickerson of Asheville
N: c., convicted in state court on in
dictments charging conspiracy to en-
bezzle funds Of the First National Bank
of Asheville. The indictment of Breese
and Dickinson was secured in 1897. and
the case has been bitterly fought since
that time.
The contention in the case was that the
indictment was irregular in that the other
members Of the grand jury which indict-
ed the two men did not accompany the
foreman into the courtroom when the
indictment was returned. In announcing
the Supreme Courts decision yesterday,
Justice Holmes said there was no need
for discussion Of the point that a con-
stitutional rigi.- mad been violated in thus
presenting the Indictment. as the other
members of the grand jury were in an
adjoining room with a clear passageway
to the courtroom.
1t would be going somewhat to saw
that 1t was not presented in the presence
OF the grand jury" said the justice add
ing that the point was raised too late.

Chief Justice
fancy Accused.

Supreme Court, and Seward alleged that
there was collision between Chief Justice
fancy and Buchanan. This so angered
fancy that he declared afterward that if
Seward had been elected President in
1860 he would have refused to administer
the oath to him. And yet Lincoln repeat
eddy made the same charge without driv-
ing fancy to such refusal All fair
authorities acquit Buchanan and fancy
Of any collision.

They decided to duplicate the great cele-

splendid affair at New Orleans when
Jackson was a candidate. They did hold
the celebration and tried to make II
appear even more successful than the
Harrison or the Jackson rally, but still
the chilly political atmosphere was every
where evident and the celebration at
Niagara Falls did not arouse the MIA
CARA of enthusiasm that had been pre-
dicted.
AS a matter Of fact, the trouUie was
that the platform and the candidate did
not fit we'll together. The northern wings

The auction sales Of native fruit
