having gambled on the station properly

TO pass ON the case Of Harry n. Thaw.

The hearing before Magistrate Henry
Mulvena OF Sherbrooke lasted less than
an hour. II began at 7:35 o'clock and
at s:2o the court said. "Sir, you are
honorsbly discharged
An attempt TO hold an afternoon scs
sion failed because the magistrate felt
he had no authority TO take prevalence
over James Mckee, the Justice OF the
peace who signed the warrant for Mr..
Jerome's arrest. At night, however, the
magistrate said he was convinced of his
authority to act, and the hearing moved
with dispatch.
Joseph Bcaulne, Coaticook lawyer,
who said he variously represented jus
tice, the people and the criminal code,
interrupted the afternoon session, but
when he endeavored 10 renew similar
tactics in the evening he was ruled out
Of court.
When acquitted Mr.. Jerome thanked
the court, spoke flatteringly Of his re-
ception in Canada, and added that he did
not attribute his arrest and brief i'm.

Observation-Disclosures
Chicago Police Also Believe They Have
White Slave Ring.

Chicago.-The police Of a Dozen cities
were asked to investigate the records of
residents living at addresses recorded in
the Chinese black book" found by the
police while searching for a trail of the
murderer of Charles Sing. a Chinese mer-
chant here.
The apparent Importance Of the black
book and its list OF addresses with its
marginal notes in Chinese characters,
caused the police temporarily to lose
sight of its search for the assailant of
Sing.
Chinese interpreters declared that the
book listed agencies for conducting sales
Of opium and that the book apparently
had been the property Of Chinese Of
ficial high in some smuggling ring.
The book also contained records Of
Chinese smuggled into the United States
and the police believe the net work Of
cities comprises a tunnel for hiding
smuggled Chinese until they can be as
simulated by the Chinstowns Of the big
cities.
The finding Of more than 20 letters
signed by white girls caused the police
to believe they had uncovered a white
slave ring.

Sentence Pronounced.

Holly Springs.-L. h. Mathews was

gone to the jury at noon. Application
Tor new trial was Immediately, made.
This was refused by Judge Mahon and
the maximum penalty was pronounced.
After the sick juror had sufficiently
recovered, the evidence for L. h. Mathews
was resumed. The line Of defense was
that the defendant did not commit the
assault and that he was insane. The evi.
denee for the defense sought to show that
the scars on the child we're made by
horse kicking him. II was shown that
defendants father had gone insane and
that his parents were first cousins. DIR.
w. c. Elliott testified that in his opinion
Mathews is insane. The defendant de-
MED vehemently the striking of the had,

ness, Cowger.

charges asked and the argument TO the
Jury was begun. Hon. Leroy Kennedy
Of New Albany opened for the state. He
was followed by Hon. Lester FAINT for
the defense and Hon. Rush Knox, the
district attorney, closed for the state.
