 TO OCTOBER 26 HASKINS CASE DEFERRED Mother of Accused III and Unable to Appear in Court-Special Term to
 Convene October 26.

Circuit court concluded labors shortly before noon today and went in- to adjournment until October 26.
 The final order of the session was the continuance granted in the case of state vs. Haskins, on motion of the defendant Judge George w. Clark granted the motion and instructed Sheriff W. N. Brady to summon a special venire of 60 men to report on October 26 when the case will again be called for trial.
 Counsel for the defendant support ed their motion for continuance with a physicians statement that Mrs. F. B. Haskins, mother of the accused, is ill at Cumnins at the home of Andrew Witt, and that MT. Haskins is at her bedside Attorneys R. w. Robins and R. C. Bruce for the de- fendant submitted evidence which they would expect from Mr. and Mrs. Has kins, and Prosecuting Attorney G. Otis Bogle was asked to admit it and proceed with trial. MT. Bogle de- cli1ed to admit the testimony, on the ground that to admit would also be to accept it's truthfulness. At this point, Judge Clark ordered continu- ance, and directed that the defendant remain under his present bond util the ate of the new trial.
