Mrs. Ella Cocker, formerly a. native OF
lHattiesburg, may be nolle pressed at
this term of the court, according to
District Attorney HOWE
Mr.. HOWE stated that the case had
been thoroughly thrashed out at the
last term and with the testimony in
hand it is extremely doubtful if Perry
can be convicted
1t would cost a good sized sum OF
money to retry Perry and around the
court house the opinion is general that
a mistrial would be the best the prose
cution could hope for.
The Perry case at one time was the
enter Of interest in Jackson Mrs. Ella
Cocker was found unconscious in his
rooms and Perry was arrested The wO-
man. had bruises all over her body
and died at the charity hospital The
suppOstion was that Perry and others
had beaten her.
On trial Perry set up by a number
of witnesses, all physicians at the in
sane asylum that the deceased was a
drug fiend and that when under the in
fluence of drugs she was given to
throwing herself about in such a man
ner as to inflict bruises. The physi-
clans thought she could have bruised
herself in this manner and that death
could have resulted of these bruises
and the effects of liquor and drugs.
The case was hard fought, the state
making a desperate effort to convict
but majority of the jury voted for an
acquittal.

MARY'S LAMB

Mary had little lamb, it's fleece
was white as snow; it strayed away
one day, where lambs should never go.
And Mary sat her quickly down and
tears streamed from her eyes; she
never found her little lamb for she
did not advertise. And Mary had a
brother John who kept village store;
he sat down and smoked a pipe, and
watched the open door. And as the
people passed along and did not stop
to buy, John still sat and smoked his
pipe and blinked his sleepy eyes. And
so the sheriff closed him out but still
he fingered near, and Mary came to
drop with him, a sympathetic tear.
How is it sister, can you tell, why
other merchants here sell all their
goods so rapidly and thrive from year
to year? Remembering her own bad
luck the little maid replies: 'These
other fellows get there, John because
they advertise"

Hear it rumble, hear it roll,
Hear it clatter, hear it bowl,
With sound that rends the soul,
Darn the coal.

Bitter pill.

Never seems to get enough.
