Circuit court entered the third
week yesterday and whether it will
continue through another week or
not is not known. but jude Reeves
is doing all he can to clean up the

Themotion for new trial for Her
bert G. Stone, the prominent real
estate dealer convicted of assault
with attempt to rape on the little
daughter of former partner, was
heard last Friday afternoon at two
o'clock. Col Thomas Palmer for the
defense argued that the governor had
no right 20 transfer States AttOr-
ney from one district to another,
that the law specifically states that
in every criminal procedure the
prosecution shall be conducted by
the states attorney and while the
Judge did swear in Judge Parkhill,
Judge Boswell and r. r. Huffaker to
act as assistants to the states attCr-
ney that there was no legal officer of
court to whom they could be assist
ants inasmuch as the regular states
attorney was in another district and
not at the trial. That the duties of
the states attorney were prescribed
in the state constitution in the same
section as that of sheriff and clerk Of

authority 10 transfer states at

or one clerk of court from one coun-

the new trial on these grounds,s so he

sentenced. Before passing sentence

Burns and Byron.

Burns was a better man than Byron,
although Byron has, in all probability,
been painted blacker than he really
was. Byron, at heart, was a pesslmist
and cynic, while Burns. though in no
sense q believer" in the orthodox
theology of his day. was well grounded
in the conviction that the world ana
mankind were fundamentally good
and were worth loving and working
