south Of the city, and from Lovers

Police Craig threw out net for the
offenders and corraled twelve OF
them by supper time. They were
put through a gruelling at police
headquarters and the officers start

but finally decided to let them &c

appear promptly at nine O'Clock this

ty Arrested on Orders of

Judge j. C. Childres, Sheriff Cald-
we'll and Deputy Sheriff Claude Hall
were arrested here yesterday morn
ing on warrants issued by Justice

tempt of court.

ton of jurisdiction in the case OF
Clarence Simpkins, 13-year-old
boy, who is charged with killing Lee
White, aged is, several days ago
Young Simpkins was to have beer
given preliminary hearing today
before Justice Wood.
Judge Childres claimed jurisdic-
ton in the case, however, and issued
IN order releasing the boy from
Jail. After the boy was released, il
is said, the judge notified the jus
tice of his action.
The warrant charging the Simp-
kins boy with second degree murder
was issued Monday by Justice Wood
The justice contends that the three
officers disobeyed his orders. After
hearing considerable testimony yes
terday, the three cases were con-
tinued until Monday In the mean
time, it is said, Judge Childres will
proceed with the trial of the Simp-
kinsI boy.
