Claim to Fnther's Property.
MACON. GA. October 2S.-The United
States Court of Appeals at New Orleans
yesterday ruled that the children of
w. A. HUFF, formerly Mayor here, have
n right to set up claims to their fathers
property prior to the consideration of

gin n campaign to have him impeached.
The campaign eliminated in con-

report adopted recently held that the
investigation did not disclose sufficient
evidence.
AS a result of the attacks of Judge
Speer. Hun was convicted of contempt,
