and Making InveStiga-

BIG BATCH OF INDICTMENTS
$4,000 Case Thrown Out and
$4,000 Case On
Trial.

Inc uOSI Important case 10 De de-
cided during the remainder of the
present six weeks term of Circuit
Court was called up for trial yester-
day. When court opened yesterday
day morning Judge Hanbery said
that he had few cases of minor i'm
portance to get rid of and then he
would call up for trial the case of
Mclean College against the Hop
kinsvile Water Company.
The college was completely de-
stroyed by fire Friday night Feb. I'd,
last year. The Directors, in their
petition claim that it was on account
of the negligence or failure of the
Water Company to turn on the pres
sure of water after the discovery of
the fire that prevented the college
from being saved, and ask a judg-
ment against the defendants for the
sum of $4,000. The plaintiff is re-
presented by Judge c. H. Bush and
Trimble & Bell. The defendant is
represented by Downer & Russell
and Wood & Son.
THROWN OUT OF COURT.
After hearing all the evidence in
the case of Edgar Cayce against A..
d. Noe for damages the attorneys
Saturday made motion for peremp-
tory instructions to a jury to find
for the defendant. Judge Hanbery
sent the jury to their room during
the argument of the attorneys on
the motion. After close of argu-
ment the jury were recalled. The
court, having thoroughly considered
the arguments by the attorneys, had
verdict drawn up and ready for
signing when the jury took their
seats and one Of them was directed
to sign 1t. The verdict was in favor
of the defendants, the court holding
that diagnosing and charging there
for is practicing medicine as prOhib-
tied by statute and the damage
claimed by plaintiff is speculative
and vending.
For those who are not famil-
lar with the case and heard no
part of the evidence. it is due to Mr..
Cayce to say that his ability to dag
nose beyond the insight of physicians
by supernatural vision vas not dis
proved, according to the opinion Of
many who heard the evidence. His
case was thrown out on the ground
that he was practicing contrary to
the law.

lot of indictments Friday.

The administration measure. like
the Aldrich measure, robs the people
