PITTSBURG. Pa, May 17.-Christian
Lieberum. a Civil war veteran, who
has already spent two years in the AL
legheny county Jail for contempt OF
court because he refused to obey a court
order to remove his old home to make
way for a public highway near McKees-
port, has returned to jail voluntarily
and says he will spend the rest of his
life there unless the court changes its
mind.
Three attempts have been made ii
the lower courts to secure his freedom
on writs of habeas corpus without re-
suit. Recently his case was appealed
to the state supreme court, which sus-
tanned the lower tribunals. Pending the
appeal he was released. When an ad-
verse decision was handed down Lieb-
erum, because of conscientious scruples,
went to the Jail and gave himself up.

TAKES HER OWN LIFE

One of the saddest tragedies ever

last Friday, when Miss Elva Jerni

ing in the loft of the barn at her
home The alarm was given and
soon a crowd assembled. The body
was taken down and an inquest
held by a justice of the peace sum-
moning a jury, whose verdict was
that the girl came to her death by
her own hands. The act was prob
ably done sometime Friday afternoon
or early night. There were no
marks on the body or any evidences
of struggle.
Elva Jernigan was about 19 years
old, a lovable, sweet-natured girl, ad
mired by all who knew her. She
was planning to attend the new
state school in Cookeville this fall,
and apparently was in good health
and the best of good spirit. No
cause is known for her fatal action.
The cutting off of her young life has
cast a gloom over the entire section,
and the people sincerely sympathize
with tht grief-stricken family.
