Bu, Few Cases Found.

In view Of these statements letters were
SEM BY the subcommittee to each County
Judge and District Attorney in the state
Concerning the responses the committee
said.
at affords US much satisfaction to %
able TO state that In replies received from
thirty-one County Judges aid twenty
District Attorneys in the siXty-one coun-
ties outside Of the county OF New York
there was not ono who answered any Of
the questions in the affirmative. Not
single instance was disclosed 10 us by
any OF these officials in which II appeared
either that the poverty of defendant
had been factor In denying him Justice
or that tho interests o. these unfortunates
had not been just as well protected as II
regularly retained counsel had acted for
them"
Tho committee makes the following
statement as TO the result Of the inquiry
in New York county:
In the county OF New York we find
that the Judges ard tho District Attor-
neys are equally positive in their express
sion OF opinion AS 10 the utter baselessness
OF the assertion that INDECENT defendants
are unjustly convicted or forced to plead
guilty because their poverty forbade an
adequate defence II may BE- asserted
that In view OF the many different
agencies employed in the ordinary felony
prosecution in this county II is practically
impossible for an INDECENT defendant TO
be sent to prison for a crime he did not
commit unless the intelligence and
honesty OF tho public oflicials charged
with administering justice are wholly
negligible factors"
The report takes up the contention
that one OF the chief benefits OF the pro
posed plan would he that all prisoners,
poor or rich. would be placed upon a true
equality before the law" The committee
says that 1t is undoubtedly true that ia a
case where expert testimony may be re-
quired an dgent defendant is at
disadN anisge, but statutory provision for
employing experts in defendants behalf
can be made. The report then says
"Anotber Premium on Perjury"
Furthermore the one who would he the
real victim In the event OF creation OF
this Office would he the unfortunate de
PENDANT OF little means who would not
or could not make oath as to his financial
inability to employ counsel. The chance
Of a successful defence In his case when
represented by the paid advocate such as
his little means would enable him to
secure az compared with the chances OF
the INDECENT persons represented by
wholly disinterested public Official OF
largo experience and high order of ability
can easily he imagined II means in
deed that another premium would Re
placed upon perjury; that the number of
cases in which defendants would make
oath as 10 their financial ability to re-
tain counsel would Increase by leaps and
bounds"
As to the cost Of the new office the
report says that the tentative budget
OF tho District Attorneys office IN New
York county for the present year was
s47s.ooo, and an equal amount would
have TO he provided for tho public de-
fender and his forces"

PUBLIC DEFENDER
Reasons Given Against the
Creation Of Such an
Office.
BIG COST TO THIS COUNTY

The introduction In the Legislature OF
bin providing for a public defender to
represent persons charged with crime
who are unable to employ counsel draws
attention to the fact that subcommittee
OF the New York County Lawyers Assoc
citation has submitted a report prepared
by Terence j. McManus disappearing the
creation OF such an office. The report Is
based on an investigation OF the subject
made In conjunction with the committee
Oh law reform Of the Bar Association
The inquiry was based on published
statements by supporters OF the public
defender" movement to the effect % that
defendants unable TO employ counsel did
not have the safeguards surrounding
those able to hire their own attorneys ;
that assigned counsel were either indif-
ferent or incompetent. and that as result
many prisoners were compelled to plead
guilty OF crimes they never committed or
II tried were convicted because OF the
negligence or incompetence Of assigned
counsel. 1t was said that probably 10
per cent OF the convictions In such cases
we're improper.

As to Quarantine.

Mr.. A. Hum, who is the live stock
inspector for Adair county, has re-
ceived the following information from
Commissioner J. w. Newman:
II beg to advise that under the
present quarantine orders no stock
can be moved from one county to an
other unless they are inspected by a
county live stock Inspector in the
county in which they are, and also by
the county live stock inspector of the
county to which they are going. This
is done in order to keep track of any
animals that might possibly be infect
ed with this disease, and is mainly
aimed at cattle imported from other
States and held in one county for a
while and then moved into another.
Great pressure has been brought to
bear upon the Live Stock Sanitary
Board to prevent the movement of
animals from one county to another,
but we thought it best to leave it so
animals could be inspected by the
county live stock inspector and then
be moved"

ed certain points and dismissed 9TH
ers, in the demurrer filed to the an
swer of the Fiscal Court. the Peoples
Bank, the County Treasurer and the
County Court Clerk in the suit against
them for the payment of railroad

County Court Clerk and the Peoples
Bank were not to be held responsible

swers in this respect.
He upheld the demurrer against the
Fiscal Court stating that the plead

The Bible Institute at CampbeIIs.
Vile.

A very refreshing and a most prof.
table institute was held at Campbells-
Vile last week, lasting four or FIVE
days. 1t was conducted in the Bap-
fist church by the pastor, who was as
sisted by some of the ablest ministers
in the State, and several who live in
other States. Our own, Geo. W. Per-
ryman, was in attendance, and on
Tuesday afternoon he delivered his
lecture, "That Boy" 1t was highly
appreciated by a crowded house, and
when the speaker concluded words of
praise came from all those who heard
it. Rev. Perryman is now pastor of
the Baptist Church, Winchester, and
ranks as one of the able men of the
organization in the State.
The other ministers present took
part in the exercises and their
sermons and talks evinced
learning, each one having a happy
way of imparting his thoughts. The
song service was inspiring, there be.
Ing thirty or forty good singers in the
choir. Mrs. S. E. Kerr accompanied
the organ with violin.
There were several diScourses di-
rected to the ungodly and a number
of professions were made during the
week.
The institute was certainly an up
lift to the people of Campbellsville
and Taylor county and all visitors
from other counties. Campbellsville
showed her hospitality and delight
fully entertained those from a dis
lance in most happy and gracious
manner.

OF His Family.
BORN AND REARED In COLUMBIA.

The death of Squire John Eubank
which occurred laStSundaymorning at
6o'clock, was not surprise, as it had
been generally known for several
weeks that his life was ebbing away,
Notwithstanding his advanced agel
he was perfectly conscious up to the
final dissolution.
He was born and reared in Colum.
bia and never lived elsewhere, his al
lotment of life being, lacking a few
weeks, eighty-five years, his birthday
falling on April the 18th.
When our war with Mexico came
Mr.. Eubank enlisted in Capt. Jack
Squires company and served until
peace was declared. He was a me-
chanical genius, and after returning
from the war he opened a shop in this
town and was an active, induStr ious
man until old age neceSSitated the
laying aside of tools, the remainder
OF his life being quietly spent with
his family in Columbia.
Many years ago he became a DEM
ocratic candidate for magistrate, was
elected and served his district in that
capacity for thirty-eights years. In
building the present court house. he
was a member of the Committee ap-
pointed by the court to superintend
and pass upon the work-to see that
it was built according to specitica-
lions.
He was one of the most widely
known men in Adair county, and had
been Master Mason for about sixty
two years. He often served Column
bia Lodge, No. 96, as Master, and in
his younger days frequently visited
sister lodges, assisting in the work.
Many years ago he made a profess
sion of his faith in Christ, united with
the Methodist Church, and lived con-
sistly until the end came.
He was the oldest native citizen of
Columbia, his whole life having been
spent in the town with the exception
of few months in Mexico, and he
died in fifty yards of where he was
born.
He was three times married, there
being three sets of children, eight in
all, one of whom being dead. His last
