judge Bush INDICATED.

The Court of Appeals has affirmed
the lower court in the Lube Martin
case from Galloway county and Mar
tins death sentence will be carried
out. This is the case in which Gen.
Bennett H. Young recently appeared
for the negro and made an attack on
Judge C. H. Bush, taking the GROUND
that Martin was not given fair trial
land summing up a number of reasons
why a new trial should be granted.
The courts action in the matter is a
vindication of Judge Bush, who pre-
sided in the trial Of the case. The
attack upon him was out OF place and
lli-advised and the sequel shows did
not help Martins cause. In sub
sequent newspaper article General
Young again severely criticised Judge
Bush's official acts, but the highest
court in the State seems to take a diff
ferent view Of the case.

Given Home Duty.
In WAR RISK DIVISION

Washington, Dec. 24.-Col. Jouett
Henry, Hopkinsville, until Dec.
commanding officer of the Third Ken:
lucky Infantry, who was honorably
discharged on account of physical dis
ability, that in the eye of the War De-
partment would unfit him for foreign
service, was commissioned Satur-
day by the Secretary of War as a Ma
ior in the National Guard of the Unit
States. He was ordered to report at
once to the Commanding General of
the Thirty-eighth Division, Camp Shell
by, HattieSburg, Miss, for duty.
His recent discharge as Colonel of
the Sd Regiment came as a great SUR
prise to Coolnel Henry and his many
friends in the service, and he has
been in Washington attempting to get
a reopening of his case. The Secre-
tary of War would not consent to a
rehearing with view to sending Col.
Henry to France or to assign him
to active command of any of the
troops that are preparing for foreign
duty because of the Kentuckian' S
physical condition. However, on &C
count of the excellent work of this
Kentucky officer, he was appointed to
be Major, the highest rank in the
War Risk Insurance Division.
He obtained this reinstatement in
the service after Senator James, in a
with the Secretary of War,
impressed Secretary Baker with the
merits of Col. Henry's case.
