Defendants Rest.

The state rested and after a con-
sultation by the defendants attorneys,
they decided not to place any of their
witnesses on the stand. County At
torney Holmes then asked Judge Acker
to commit the accused men to Jail
without bond, which brought an objec-
ton from the defense. Judge Acker
decided to hear some of the points
in the case, which Mr.. Holmes fur
nished from several codes, cOntending
that the defendants were guilty as
charged, the doctors with performing
a criminal operation and Ingram as an
accessory. Mitchell for the defense
read points of law where the Supreme
Court had passed on such cases which
were bailable. Judge Acker could not
see it in that light, and when he an
nounced that the men be committed
to Jail without bond vociferous shout
rent the courtroom, and for several
minutes the dense crowd kept applaud
ing, satisfied with the rendition. Late
tonight the prisoners, under the escort
of a dozen deputies, were taken in au-
tomobiles to a train in waiting and
carried to Tupelo. They will remain
in Jail until the converting of Circuit
Court in October.

bounced upon the huskies and gave
them the best battle he was able to
muster, but when one Of the men
swung q short piece of board through
the air and brought 1t down upon
jerry's head the young jockey went
down and out. Despite her struggles,
and regardless Of her screams and
! pleads for mercy, Peg was a toy in
the hands of the sailors.
Lifting her by main strength the
thugs started toward the water, just
rs Jerry, lying prone upon the ground,
began to recover his senses. The
jockey caught only a glimpse of Peg
and her eaptors, hut it was enough to
give him the direction. Dazed and
bcwildered as he was, Jerry remem-
bered and was struggling to follow the
sailors with their prey, when young
Lund, in his desperate search for Peg,
came running through the lumber piles
and almost stumbled over the pros

And Lund, with all speed, fled in the
direction Jerry had indicated. Lund
had not travelled far toward the
water, before he came to a place
where the road forkel. and both
branches led down to the docks.
There was not a human being In
SIGHT. Taking chances Lund selected
the wrong road, and le lost precious
moments before he had raced to the
docks and found the place deserted.
OF to his right the piles of lumber
were stacked close to the pier. but he
could sec that the dock took an abrupt
turn. To his left there were more
lumber piles and nobody to be seen.
He quickly decided to retrace his
steps and take the other fork Of the
road, ana with all speed he ran over
the distance he had wasted in his I'M
lucky decision. Just as he reached
the fork Of the read, Jerry met him,
the young Jockey staggering along as
best he could. Although he was fast
recovering his usual agility Jerry was
Still rather groggy from the bloVs the
sailors had given him on the head.

over which he was now certain Peg had
been carried by her captors. The

that Jerry VAS now making good speed

Slowly the girl reesainod conscious

upon the strange surroundings.
She struggled to her feet, and fell.
Again she attempted to arise, but was
too weak to stand. Crawling to Il pile
OF lumber nearby she raised herself
with the aid of this support and leaned
heavily against the lumber to collect
her senses.
Jerry had by this time entered the
lumber yard and was searching among
the piles OF timber for the girl. The
animal men passed on down the road

only a short distance when, with hor-

where She stood. Peg tried to evade
their notice, but one OF the bIeary-
eyed creatures caught sight OF her and
shouted:
"Ilully Gee, Mike! Look at the gal!
Lets get her"
The two unkempt and ~half-drunk
creatures started for Peg and chased
her among the lumber piles. Her
desperate position gave the girl re-
newcd strength for a little while, but
the drunken bruteS who were chasing
her had too great an advantage.

OF FIELD SHOTS

The record of the r. H. S. basket
ball team was married only by the IN
expected defeat at the hands of Brook
vile. After getting way to a flying
start against Union City, and then de-
feating New Castle, r. H. S. failed to
respond in the final and deciding game.
Richmond scored 102 points in the
three games. It's opponents scored Al.
Richmonds performance in the first
two games was of such calibre that
local fans were not prepared for the
surprise furnished in the final and
deciding game. Richmond's victories
over New Castle and Union City were
comparatively easy. Brookville, con-
sidered a weaker team than N. c. H. s.
by wide margin, was counted as easy
prey for the Quakers.
Individual records of the team show
Porter, Brown and Parker well bunch
ed in the matter of points scored. Por-
ter and Brown each trapped thirteen
field goals. Parker annexed twelve.
Ten foul point markers give Parker
an edge in total number of points
scored. Pitts with four baskets, and
