AGAIN GETS
OUT AND GETS UNDER
NEGRO UP ON LIQUOR LAW vIo-
LATIoN, HAS APPEAL CASE
Thrown OUT.

Again the notorious Sam Powell
has escaped through the meshes of
the law, at time when the state
thought they had him dead to rights.
Peremptory instructions were given
by Judge Johnson in the Circuit Court
yesterday, which freed Sam of the
charge originating in the city Po-
lice Court, that he had exactly
four quarts too much liquor in his
possession, which he was carrying to
a second party.
The court ruled that the indictment
was defective, and Powell, in court for
the first time during his long career,
in connection with violating the whis-
key law, was free man.
Powell and another negro from Col
Inns, came back from New Orleans
during Mardi Gras. Powell had with
him grip which was taken over by
Julius Humphries, half-witted ne
gro, when the train rolled into the
Northeastern station. Humphries start
ed away with the grip, when Police
men Messer and Noteworthy held him
up. He declared the grip belonged to
Powell. 1t was opened and 5 quarts
of whiskey found Powell, on the way
to City Hall, demanded the grip, say
| ing that the contents belonged to him.
HE was then told that it was illegal
fer one person to have more than one
gallon of whiskey. The negro said
that half the liquor belonged to the
Collins man.
A charge of transporting more
than one gallon of liquor into Missis-
sippi from another state, for julius
Humphries" was made against the ne
gro. and he was convicted in Police
Court. Attorneys Dan Currie and ]
70. Davis appealed the case to the
Circuit Court, where it was proven
by the states witnesses that Umphries
was merely the man who took posses
sion Of the grip, not knowing its con
tents, and that the whiskey had moi
been brought to Hattiesburg for the
purpose Of being turned over to him
as the warrant stated.
Judge johnson ruled, after hearing
the arguments of Currie and Davis
and of d. E. Sullivan, representing
1.-THE city, that it could not be showr

District Attorney Hall, who will
conduct the prosecution, assisted by

A MONKS STRENUOUS life
DURING HIS Days LABOR

(By Rev. Gerard Heinz. o. s. b.
Abraham prayed, and God was will
ing to save from destruction the two
large cities of Sodom and Gohmorra II
as many as ten just men could be
found. Moses prayed, and God saved
from determination the whole Jewish
nation. Josua prayed, and God made
the sun halt in its course till the VIC
torious battle could be finished. So
great is the power of prayer. Aware
of this, Christian kings and rulers ever
sought to establish monasteries and
converts in their realms. We may feel
assured that our parish and our city
receive manifold temporal and spirit
ual blessings because we have the abb
hey and the convent located in our
midst. Count the prayers that ascend
to heaven from these abOdes of reli'
gion. The order of the day is nearly
alike in both institutions. At the Alb
hey the whole monastery is astir az
early as a quarter Of four o'clock. AS
sembled in the chapel, the monks
chant mathis and lauds from four tt
five; from five to six they offer W
Holy Mass and devote themselves t.
meditation; at six they have prime
