 ATTORNEYS LANGUAGE
ARGUMENTS OF PROSECUTOR PAUL LITTLE BASIS OF SU-
 PRIME COURT APPEAL.

Little Rock, May 30.-Alex Glass of Fort Smith has appealed to the su- preme court from a judgment of the Sebastian circuit court sentencing him to three years in the penitentiary fo, burglary. It is charged that he rob- bed the house of c. C. Jackson, Feb Iruary II, 1913, of goods valued at about $500. He was later arrested in Oklahoma. The evidence against him is almost wholly circumstantial. Among the exceptions taken by the defense is one against the following language used by Prosecuting Attor- ney Little in arguing the case before the jury:
 Look at that Davidson case. He murdered a beautiful girl. He cut her to pieces and hid her limbs. They are going to hang him on circumstan- tial evidence. There is not man on this jury that wouldn't "a hung him. There was blood on his axe and they had men with enough respect for themselves to stand on their oaths and send him to the gallows. This defend ant was caught at Sallisaw, Okla, with Jackson's ring. Send him to the penitentiary."
 Exception is also taken to state ment by the prosecuting attorney that many witnesses had been coming be- fore that court and flying like dog. y
