A mule colt that Charles P. Allen,

week to R. E. Biggs, of Auxvasse,
for $120, brought within $40 of
twice as much as the brute's mother
cost Mr.. Allen when she was four
years old. The nag is twenty years
old now, and sales of her produce
have enriched Mr.. Aliens bank

he still has four mules ranging from

CIRCUIT JUDGES
AUTHORITY IN DOUBT
Right To Act in COlOmbO-De Cav
Squabble Not Clearly De-
termined

Some odd legal tangles are expect
ed To develop when the Wayne cir.
cult judges meet TO decide whether a
hearing should be granted, 10 deter
mine whether charges made against
Justice OF Peace Fred f. DeGaw, by
Attorney Louis Colombo, are with or
without foundation Colombo. in an
AFFIDAVIT, intimated that Justice De
Cav was Influenced by politics when
he granted a writ OF body execution
TO Attorney Vincent NJ Brennan. for
the arrest of Charles s. Sansone,
for client. and who was defended
by Colombo.
Whether the circuit court judges
can hear a matter involving a judicial
officer of another court, and can rec
ommend what action shall be taken,
is one question puzzling lawyers.
Judge DeGaw himself realizes that
the problem Of jurisdiction is an un-
usual one.
AT the same time" he said, what
can ! do? / haven't the right to cite
Mr.. Colombo for contempt, under the
statutes. The law says the act OF
contempt must occur in the court
room Mr.. Colombo's affidavit was
read in circuit court, during argu-
ments for writ of habeas corpus. II
the affidavit had been read in my
court, could have had redress"
Besides bringing up this intricate
problem, the issuance OF the body
execution will result in supreme
court test OF law which has been
on the books since 1855 II is the
law permitting the arrest on a body
execution OF one who obtains credit,
fail to pay, and is afterwards charged
with fraud in obtaining the credit.
