COURT O|SM|sSES
 APPEAL IN MILLER CASE
Appeal of the State on Ruling of Superior Court Judge Turned Down Because of General Lack of Interest and Use
 iessness of Question

The appeal of the state of Arizona in tn. case of Jacob Miller brought on an appeal from the decision of the superior court of Navajo county was dismissed by the supreme court of the state yesterday in an unanimous opinion handed down by the court prepared by MT Justice Ross. The supreme court refused to interfere in the case.
 The circumstances of the case are very interesting. Miller walked into d Winslow saloon on August ,, 1910. and shot l.. W. Johnson. He was tried after several delays in the Su- perior court of Navajo after Arizona became d state and was acquitted by the jury. During the trial of the cause the question was asked hy the district attorney, Have you ever been convicted of d felony" This was objected to by the defense. the court .susta aiming. the objection.
 The state excepted and under sec tion 163S of the penal code of the revised statutes of 1901 provides, In all criminal actiOn the territory may appeal to the supreme court on queS- tions of law alone-proVided that the supreme court shall not reverse q
 judgment in favor of d defendant which operates as q bar to future prosecutions for the offenSe."
 The supreme court held however that since there was no contention before them, that since the acuuital the defense in the original case had no interest therein. that nothing the court could do would effect the case one way or another especially since the original defendant was protected l by the jeopardy clause of the consti- l tuition. The appeal was therefore dis 1 missed.

.157 SEEK PLACES
IN MAIL SERVICE

Postmaster Hugh Mckee Saturday
was busy man. There were 113 ap-
plicants for clerkships and A for po-
sitions as letter carriers before him
for inspection, preliminary to ap-
pointment
Eight clerks and five carriers will
be taken on at once. The other APP
pltcants Will be put on during the
year as they are needed
1t is estimated by Mr.. Mckee that
at the present rate Of growth in the
mail at the Atlanta office, owing to
the increased population, before the
year is out he will have taken on 20
additional clerks and six to ten addi-
tional carriers.
One of the latest features of the
physical examination is the barring
of all applicants who have what is
known as fiat feet. To test whether
the applicant is affected with this de-
formity, he is required to stand on his
tiptOes and jump as far as possible
and land squarely on the bah of the
foot.
The applicants selected will go into
the service as substitutes and will re-
Ceive $500 per year as a starter. After
the first year the salary is raised to
5000, AMI each succeeding year a
gradual increase until the salary to-
tails $1,000 per year. Substitutes av-
erage about $40 per month until they
are appointed as regular carriers or
clerks by the postmaster.
