turn over the shipment to the rtil-
road However, this will in no Wl9e
affect the status of the case that win

liams says that he will continue -
seize such shipments. 1t is under
stood that this is to be made test

interesting questions involved
Another point that enters into he
matter that the railroad is seeking 10

 In the mind of every unbiased per- son who heard the trial of Tobe Carr d negro fifty-nine years of age chars- ed with d heinous and reYolting as s4ult on the person of poor. degfad ed wisp of a white girl tine negro was guilty.

No man should b' permitted. to say nothing Of one o mature age, to drag any girl twelve years old to his brutish level.
