Denver, Feb. AFTER fighting his
conviction for contempt to the highest
court In the land over a period Of five
years, Judge Ben B. Lindsey Of the
Juvenile Court lost unless leniency is
shown.
He must pay $500 fine for refusal
to testify In the famous Berta Wright
murder case, concerning a statement
made in confidence by the woman's
son, or go to jail.
Whether the decision of the United
States Supreme Court confirming the
Colorado Supreme Courts affirmation
Of the $500 fine imposed by Judge
John A. Perry of the Criminal Court
In 1915 actually means that Judge
Lindsey must 60 to jail is considered
problematical by Denver lawyers.
They point out that the decision Of
the highest tribunal merely afflrms the
judgment Of the lower court and thus
leaves to the present district attorney
and the present Judge Of the West
Side Criminal Court the responsibility
Of pressing the matter.
The personnel of the district attor-
ney's office and the bench has changed

matter has been in litigation, and 80.
wants declare that 1t Is not obligatory
upon either District Attorney Philip
Van Cise or Judge Warren A. Haggott
to enforce the penalty.
District Attorney Van Cise said 1t
"would be premature" for him to make
any statement regarding his action un.
til after the usual papers are sent by
the highest court to the Colorado Su-
preme Court and thence to the lower
court. The district attorney would be
required to make some recommenda.
tlon in the case, once these papers
have been passed along, he said, but
that time may be a month hence.
"The decision Of the higher court
does not In the least alter my personal
convictions In the NATTER" said Judge
Lindsey. II believe that 1t Is the duty
Of Juvenile Judge to maintain the
confidence Of the boys and girls whose
stories are drawn out by him.
"In many instances 1t is the promise
that their confidence will be preserved
that induces girls to give us informa-
ton that leads to the conviction of
those who have committed offenses
against them.

ance, since 1t involves all the Juvenile
Courts In the country.
II understand from my attorney
who represented me In Washington
that the fact that the Supreme Court
did not consider this a federal Ques-
ton was one Of the reasons for the
decision against me-"
When the Colorado Supreme Court
a few months ago announced its deci-
sion finally affirming the verdict Of
the lower court, the newsboys Of Chi.
cago started movement to collect
$500 to defray the judges fine.
This movement was stopped at the
request Of Judge Lindsey, who said at
that time that he did not want to ac-
knowledge the justice Of the fine even
Indirectly, but intended to appeal the
matter further.

new FEDERAL JUDGESH|p
NOW SEEMS ASSURED
John J. Gore, of Cookeville, Moot
Prominently Mentioned for
the Appointment

Parties at Cookeville received a
telegram Sunday from Congressman
w. F. Clouse, of this district. noti-
flying them that the bill creating a
federal judgeship for Middle Tenn
essee had passed the house late Sat
day, No trouble is expected in
passing the bill in the senate.
This judgeship seems badly needed
as it is claimed there are more than
one hundred cases on the docket
awaiting adjudication and with the
heavy dockets at other points it
seems impossible to get to the cases
with the dispatch that justice to the
public demands.
John ]. Gore, a prominent republi-
can lawyer at Cookeville, has been
very strongly endorsed for the place
and from the fact that he is recog-
nized as being amply qualified for the
duties of the place, and the further
fact of the splendid service he has
rendered his party as state chairman
and in many other ways, it is thought
very probable that he will receive the
appointment.

OHIO GARAGE BURNS;
LOSS LARGELY COVERED
Cause of Fire Unknown; Had Been
No Fire in Building
All Day.

Saturday night at $50 o'clock the
Ohio Garage, belonging to J. J. Wilkes
was discovered to be in flames and
1t was shortly consumed. Some cars
and truck were in the building at
the time along with several barrels
OF lubricating oil, supplies and tools.
The cause of the fire is a profound
mystery as there had been no FIRE
in the building all day and the flames
seem to have started in the rear of
the building.
Mr. Wilkes built the garage last
spring; it was wooden structure and
was insured for $500; his tools and
supplies were insured for 5000. The
total loss is estimated at over $2soo.

CRossvILLE, TENNESSEE, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER a. 1921
JUNGLE" DAN MANNING
CROSSES "GREAT DIVIDE"
Died Wednesday at His Home, at
Linary, in His Ninety
Fourth Year.

Daniel Manning died at his home
at Linary last Wednesday at $3.50 p.
m. from Affections due to advanced
age. Had he lived until April 1, next,
he would have been ninetyfive years
old The remains were buried at
Llnary Friday, the funeral exercises
were conducted by J. w. Dorton. The
burial was attended by several per-
sons from Crossvile and from numer-
Gus other points. Owing to his ad-
vanced age his going away was no,
unexpected for he had been gradually
failing for several months.
"Uncle Dan,' as he has long been
called by his many friends, was
most remarkable character. He was
over six feet tall, sparely built, erect
figure, always had a pleasant word
for everyone. He was answering in
his stand for law and order and evey
thing that was right and just.
When only boy he began going
with cattle buyers from Virginia 70
help them drive their cattle through
to the rich grazing fields and feeding
grounds. Many were the trips he
made. 1t was the custom in those
days to pay hand IS cents day and
board him while going and allow him
IS cts. day and 2scts. each night on
return trip. Being tall and active,
he found it no hard task to walk
sixty miles day and always made
the return trip in less time than was
allowed him, thus saving little more
than most drivers were able
to do.
After reaching manhood he began
buying cattle for the Virginia feeders
He would buy cattle in this and sew
eral other counties of this section
without paying a cent cash on them.
He would then pay every man his
Just due on his return. No man ever
that Uncle Dan" did not
live up fully TO every promise he made
and no person ever lost cent on him,
He was possessed Of a most un-
usual ability to estimate the weight
of steer. So close could he guess
to the weight that it became a conf
mon expression: "He weighs them
with his eye"
In his passing to the great beyond,
county loses a most not
able and unique character and a man
who had the most bounded confidence
of the people, and that confidence
was fully deserved by the fine record
IF long and useful life. Peace to
lis ashes.
