FIVE VERDICTS REVERSED
FOR ATTORNEY CUMMINGS

Verdlcts OF not guilty were entered
In the criminal court Monday In the
cases OF J. J. WINS, charged with
murder: Wiley Haney. two cases of
felonious assault; Tom Mcmahon,
charged with violating the age of
consent law, and Henry Cook,
charged with murder. The five cases
were all recently sent back by the
supreme court for new hearings.
Each OF the five defendants was rep
resented by w. II. Cummings, and
the opinions OF the supreme court
coming In all the cases on the same
day act for Mr.. Cummings a record
to be proud Of; 1t was probably the
first time any supreme court had re-
versed FIVE cases TO the favor of one
LAWYER In one day
The verdicts Of not guilty were all
put down Monday on motion of Gen.
George w. Chamlec, who stated the
cases were reversed on facts and the
state had put forward all the facts
II had at the trial and 1t would be
useless to set them for trial again.
A peculiar complication was
brought TO light in the Mcmahon
case and through technicality this
defendant goes free. The court re-
Nerscd the case set up against him,
but recommended that he be held for
rape on a 12-ycar-old girl
The law which would have Gov
cred this case has been declared UNI
constitutional, and OF course McMa-
hon could not he convicted under
this. The new law now In effect has
been passed since Mcmahon COM
mitted the crime, so this makes him
Immune.
WINS was convicted Of the murder
OF Sergt J. w. Flanagan and SEN
fenced TO from two 20 ten years In
the pcnitentiarN. Wiley Hauey was
convicted OF two cases OF fclonious
assault growing out OF the textile
strike OF two years ago. Tom Me
Mahon was convicted Of criminal as
sault. Henry Cook was convicted of
second degree murder he being
charged with killing Tom Nann over
NRnn's divorced wife.
Another NCrdict OF not guilty which
went down was one against Buddy"
Wilson. charged with larceny. WI
son is already IN the penttcntiary

automobile and this was thought by
the attorney general 20 he enough.
