the suit for damages against Gov.
Brewer, in which action was brought
against the governor by Mr.. Shackel-
ford for damages growing out of Gov.
Brewers statement given out after the
break in the Beulah crevasse levee on
Jan. 30. Mr.. Shackelford was suing
for 100000 damages
The injunction was granted by Chief
Justice Sidney Smith OF the Missis-
sippi Supreme Court at the request of
Gov. Brewers attorneys, Mays & Mays
of Jackson and Dan Brewer of Clarks-
dale. The injunction was granted on
several pleas, chief among them being
that to attend court in Tennessee would
require the governor TO cave the state
of Mississippi and force him to relin-
quish his duties as governor. In the
same papers were citations demanding
Mr.. Shackelford to appear before the
October term Of the Washington Coun-
ty Chancery Court.
There a:e two legal proceedings that
may be adopted by the attorneys for
Mr.. Shackelford in this case. One is
to ask that the injunction be dissolved,
and the ether is to file a cross bill and
ask for the trial of the case in the
Washington County Chanccry Court.
just what course Boddie & Parish, To-
cal attorneys for Mr., Shackelford, will
pursue has not been given out.

WILLIAM PATTERSON'S
CONVICTION STANDS
MISSISSIPPI SUPREME COURT AT.
FIRMS ATTALA CO. SENTENCE.
National Guardsman, in Jail at Water
Valley for the Murder of a Com
rade, Must Remain There
Till Trial Comes Up.

Jackson.-Out of about thirty cases
handed down by the supreme court
judges, twenty-five were from the State
dockets involving criminal charges and
convictions. Considering the fact that
the docket of State cases was only sub.
mitted the past week, amounting to
some t~hirty-odd, the number of cases
determined already indicates that the
judges have been busy.
Foremost among the cases decided
was the appeal of William Patterson,
from trial and conviction in Attala coun-
ty of the murder of Omar Wilson, about
two years ago. Omar Wilson was shot
down in the public road, without appar-
ent provocation, according to the rec
ord, as the court affirms outright the
verdict, trial proceedings and death SEN
tence, fixing the date of execution for
Friday, May 9, 1918. As remarked by
Justice Cook, who handed down the
case: I'VE have carefully considered
the record in this case and see no rea-
son to disturb the finding of the jury
and the sentence of the lower court"
The court unanimously decides that
W. B. Ferguson, the national guardsman,
in jail at Water Valley, held for trial
on an Indictment charging him with the
murder of a comrade in the town Of
Water Valley something over a year
ago, is not entitled to bail, which his
lawyers have sought 10 obtain through
habeas corpus, and he must therefore
remain in Jail until his case is disposed

ord in this case.
