THE HIGHER COURT MIDDLE.

Is there such thing as a Supreme
Court and Il so what is IL? Hereto
fore. from our infancy up. we have
looked upon the Supreme Court as the
beginning and the end. the alpha and
the omega Of every question at law,
but in these latter days the scales
are falling from our eyes and our idol
seems to have tumbled from the high
pedestal upon which we placed IL.
II now appears that we have no Su.
preme Court. that is, In name only.
for on the question OF supreme au-
thority, there are others ready to lock
horns on the question OF who's who.
The Court OF Criminal Appeals also
claims TO be supreme court" and
absolutely refuses to sidestep at the
honk OF the piece OF court machinery
that has heretofore had the right Of
way. I'D.
The two courts are tied up on the
constifutionality OF the State pool hall
law, the Supreme Court declaring II
unconstitutional and the Court OF
Criminal Appeals UNFOLDING It's CON

and settled in such manner that fu,

FIND BLOODY Ak
IN SECOND ST. YARD
Weapon Found Close by Home
of 'Hatchet Fiend"
Victim

Fresh mystery was added to the
series of crimes attributed to Steel
tons 'hatchet fiend" this morning by
the finding of a blood-spotted AK by
Mrs. George Enney. of $40 South Sec
ond street.
The weapon was discovered in a
clump of tall grass n the rear of the
Enney home, which is just a rew doors
off Mohn street, and close to where
pretty Marie Vein and Mrs. Sara Ro-
benfinger fell victims while they slept
to the "hatchet fiend."
Neighbors who were much excited
at Mrs. Enney's find, believe that the
ak. a short handled, single-pitte wea-
pom. was cast away by the criminal
as he ran down River ailey towards
the foreign section after his visit to
either the Weigand home, in Good
street. where Miss Vein was assaulted,
or from the home of Mrs. Rooenfinger,
in Mohn street, another victim.
Believing that perhaps the weapon
had been tossed into the Enney yard
by boys, inquiry was made among all
the neighbors. No one claimed the AK.
few spots, believed to be blood,
made the Enneys and officers to whom
the weapon was shown, form the opln-
ion that the ak was used by the
'hatchet fend" in one or mis- seven
crimes.
Mrs. William Gutschall, of 669
South Front street, who was attacked
by foreigner Tuesday night, is ser
iously i'll. Physicians believe her sick
ness was brought on partly by the
shock of Tuesdays adventure. Joe
Caleta, the foreigner now in jail
charged with the attack upon Mrs
Gutschall, is not believed by the au-
thorities to have anything to do witt
| the "hatchet fiend's' crimes.
