Negro Wanted I'm EdgeReld Loses
Out I'm Pennsylvania Courts.

Lexington, May 13.-George Bell
Zimmerman, solicitor of this circuit.
is In receipt of a letter from the
deputy clerk of the United States
court at Philadelphia. in which he
states that the United States District
Judge has overruled the motion of
Joe Grant, the negro who is wanted
in Edgefield County for the murder
of j. T. burst. of Johnson in 1906.
and remanded the negro to the coun-
~ prison to await further develop
ments, the attorneys for Grant hav-
ing taken an appeal to the United
states Court of Appeals of Pennsyl-
vania.
Solicitor Zimmerman has not been
advised as to the date of the hear
ing. but will at once get into COM
munication with the Pennsylvania au-
thorities, and will ask that ne be per-
mitted to file a written argument in
behalf of the State of South Carolina
mus Saving the state as mucn as pos
sible i'm the way of cost. This decis-
ion means that Grant has lost out be-
fore the Pennsylvania State Courts
and also i'm the United States Court.
MIR. Zimmerman felt confident all
along that the decision would be
against the negro and in favor of the
State of South Carolina. and is just
as confident now that he will win in
the United States Court of Appeals,
and that the detention of the negro
only means a stay of justice, and that
Grant will soon be brought back to
this State to face trial at Edgefeld.
Solicitor Zimmerman stated this af-
ternoon that he intended to fight the
case to finish, and that, if neces-
sary. he would return to Pennsylvania
to be present at the hearing in the
United States Court of Appeals.

JURY REFORM IN JERSEY.
Assembly Approves Measure for which
President Wilson Made Strong Per-
sOnal Fight.

Trenton, y. J. May l2.-The as
sembly this afternoon by vote Of 80
to Is passed the Egan jury reform
bill after it had been amended by at
taching a Statewide referendum The
measure without the referendum was
the socalled chancellor sheriff bill.
which President Wilson agreed TO as
a compromise when he was in New
Jersey a few days ago. Today's de-
bate developed the fact that the
amendment had been suggested or
agreed to by j. P. Tumulty, secretary
TO the president.
The bill provides for the appoint
ment by the chancellor of the State Of
jury commissioner in each county To
act in conjunction with the sheriff i'm
drawing juries. These commission
ers are TO be of opposite political
faith to the sheriff. The measure will
not become a law until adopted by
the people at the general election
next fail
1t is expected that the senate will
take up the bill tomorrow. The Re-
publicans of that body are said to be
against the measure, which probably
means that it will be defeated as the
Democrats have not enough votes to
pass it.
