STATUS OF THE HAWIE CASE

Probably not one man in TWEEN
ty-five knows the exact status of
the Hawie case, though they may
be well acquainted with its de-
tails. They also know that he has
been twice sentenced to death
and twice saved from the gallows
by court decisions, but they are
not acquainted with the court pro-
cedure by which this was accom-
plished.
The Clarion-Ledger has talked
with one of the best lawyers in
the state, and this is what is
found out about George Hawie,
and the laws of the state of Miss
issippi:
After his first conviction of the
murder of Annie Belle Seeney, a
sworn petition was presented to
a lower court alleging his insani-
ty at the time of the trial. The
District Attorney admitted the
truth Of the alleged insanity by a
demurrer which the Court SUI
stained. An appeal was taken
to the Supreme Court ON the writ
term coram nobis, which in effect
was merely a motion to inquire in
to the sanity Of the prisoner, and
the Supreme Court reversed the
judgement and remanded the case
to ascertain the sanity of the ac-
cused. A jury was empanelled
which heard the evidence and de-
clared by its verdict that the ac-
cused was insane at the time of
his trial.
Following this, in the same
court, the accused was again. put
on trial for the murder, and again
convicted. At this trial the form
er adjudication of insanity by the
jury and Court was brought to the
attention of the Court, but the
Court proceeded to try the de-
fendant again on the murder
charge without further inquiry as
to the sanity of the defendant
then and here. The defendant
had been adjudicated insane by a
previous jury and the presump-
ton of the law is that he was still
insane at the last trial, and of
course as an insane man is not
capable Of making a defense he
was tried the last time while pre-
sumably insane.
From this last conviction an ap-
peal was prosecuted to the SUI
preme Court, which reversed the
case and remandad it for a new
trial on the charge of murder, if
after an investigation by the
Court it is now determined that
he is sane.
If he is found to be sane so that
he is capable of conducting a de-
Tense Of his case, then he will be
tried for the murder, and if the
jury determine on the trial that
he was sane at the time of the
killing, and that he is guilty of

MAY /, .9S.

We wonder last Sunday who
thought Of May /, 1898? On Sum
day, May I, 1898, % years ago,
American warships, under COM
mand of Commodore George De-
wey, steamed into the Bay Of Ma
Mia and destroyed the Spanish
fleet, which was under the COM
mand Of Admiral Montejo.
The year following we had a big
celebration Of the anniversary.
Then Dewey came back and we
had another celebration. We
then gave Dewey house. Then
Dewey got married and turned his
house over to his bride. and every
body got mad at Dewey and some
demanded that the house be taken
from him. Then Dewey lived for
many years not much honored by
his fellow citizens.
May l, 1919, was a great day with
us. 1t put us permanently in
the Pacific and we will stay there
so long as the American flag rep
resents virile government. The
American people may give up the
Philippines, but America must de-
mand free hand in the Pacific
and be prepared to defend it's posi-
ton.
What startling charges are in
the naval operations since May 1.
After one message was sent from
Manila the submarine cable was
cut. The. next day we knew there
had been a fight. We knew there
had been victory, but we did not
know, until the following Sunday,
the extent Of the victory.
The Commercial Appeal was
one of the few papers in the Uni
ted States that got out an extra
SCunday morning announcing the
victory. The difference in time
and the international date line
made it Sunday here when it was
Monday in the Philippines. The
New York Herald printed an ex-
ira. The Associated Press, sent
out a message at S o'clock in the
morning and the Commercial APP
peal replated it's Sunday edition.
The following Sunday The Com
mercial Appeal printed Stickney's
story. Stickney sailed from Ma
Mia to Hong Kong Immediately
after the battle and cabled his
story from that city. He sent it to
the New York Herald and The
Commercial Appeal was a client
of the Herald.
There were no submarines when
Dewey fought at Manila. There
were no aeroplanes, no Zeppelins.
There was no wireless. There
was no asphyxiating gas. There
were no turbine battleships and
no oil driven ships. The longest
range Of artillery was about eight
miles. Accurate shooting was not
to be had above four miles.
A few days ago gun fired from
United States ship covered
target at a distance of 10000
yards. One 1921 battle cruiser or
1921 dreadnaught now could sink
all the ships in the world coming
at it if those ships were armed
as they were in 1898. And yet, in
10 years, the proud ships of 1921
will be in the discard.-Comme

and above all visable demands II
would seem that everybody could be
taken care of.
P. G.. Johnston replied that it
would seem SO, but that when the
reservoir was built it seemed as if
the old settlers rights would be
made more dependable by the stor-
age, but that they had had poorer
delivery OF water thru all the years,
and they may, be justified in enter
tanning the feeling that if the govern
ment did more storing of water the
old settlers being such a small part
of the whole, might have even less
recognition than now, unless, as Mr..
Just insisted, they be given definite
guarantees in black and white, and
in such form that they will have
something tangible to protect them.
A resolution that had been intro
duced regarding the project, was
handed to Mr.. Johnston with the
request that he insert such declara-
lions as he thought suitable for the
proper and full protection of the
settlers referred to and report back
to the association later.
Short talks were made by Ned Nc
Cracker, chairman Of the Chamber
of Commerce Of Pocatello, w. H.
Cleare, and Messrs. Bergman, Early
and Andersen. 1t was agreed that
the most important thing for the
Snake river valley towns and sur
rounding country is to get the half
million dollar appropriation and get
construction work progressing, and
II towns have any smaller troubles
they can thrash them out and adjust
them at any time. The demands of

FORTUNES TOLD

The Misses Lynn and Edith Miller
entertained some Of their young
friends the first of the week at an
assemblage of ghosts and COLLINS.
The house was decorated with
autumn leaves and a wgiwam Of corn
stalks erected in a corner Of the
room served as headquarters for the
witch Miss Lynn Miller, who re-
vealed the mysteries Of the unseen
to the youth and maidens, who ven
tured in seeking knowledge Of future
events.
AS a companion piece to the events
revealed in the wigwam these was
ghost punch to serve to those whose
shock absorbers could not take up
the jolts given by the witch, and to
those who did not receive sufficient
shock to be satisfied without some
punch of the ghost variety.
After their moccasins were pretty
well worn with running to and from
these centers of excitement, refresh
ments were served to give real
nourishment and get them back to
normally, to soothe the effect of the
forked tongue of the witch and to get
their breath to moving evenly. The
witch also confessed that she had no
more words and felt wrung out by
the strain Of having to say something
when she had already "stung" them
until she felt empty Of further plots
and words of guile.
