THE HUGGINS CASE

When the court of general sessions
convenes tomorrow morning SoHcitor
Henry will call the case of the state
n opainst Albert Zimmerman and Mrs
Effe Huggins charged with the mur-
der OF Pink Higgins, husband of the
woman. The dead body of the hus-
hand was found on Charlotte road
about q mile and a half north OF the
courthouse on Monday morning, Nov
ember Z. III,
The grand jury returned a true Dill
against the two yesterday morning: l.
+. Mellow Esq, counsel for Mrs. HUG
gins and w. B. Wilson, attorney fof
Zimmerman waived arraignment yes
terday afternoon when the SOLICITOR
started to put the pair in the prisoner
dock. Mr.. Mellow told the court thal
counsel would probably have n motioH
to make when the case was called TO-
morrow morning although he did no'
state the nature of the motion. IL w&S
reported in the court room yestefdtS
afternoon that counsel would proDaoly
seek a change of venue on the GROUND
that so much publicity had been given
the case that it would be Impossible
for the defendants to get q falr iila,
in York county. 1t was also talked
around that Zimmerman's plea would
be self defense.
The two defendants were not
brought into the court room until yes
terday afternoon. zimmerman was
neatly dressed, wearing 4 blue SUIT oi
clothes, his black hair brushed
smoothly back.
Mrs, Huggins, n little red haired
woman, occupied one of the seats IN
the section within the rail reserved for
grand Jurors She wore dark clothes
and she wore q listless expression on
her face, apparently taking no interest
i'm the court proceedings. Occasionally
she glanced at Zimmerman but her al
legged lover gave her no sign ol
recognition.
Zimmerman appeared to take some
interest in what was going on. FROM
time to time he turned to whisper 10
the two white male prisoners seated
beside him. He frequently rubbed ms
chin with his hand and occasionally ne
turned To see if there were any friends
or acuuaintanCeS in the audience that
he recognized.
The two defendants who are charged
with murder attracted considerable at
tentiOn from court spectators. >Botl
whites and blacks craned their necks
to get glance at the two. The woman
was the center of attraction.
She did not return the stares. She
did not pretend to see anybody. The eN-
preston that she wore during the long
afternoon was n rather set one-a
stony stare as it were, that seemed to
take in nothing.
1t was a rather miserable afternoon
for both defendants and they appear
ed relieved when ordered back to jail.
When Clerk of the Court McMackin
read the indictment returned by the
grand jury holding them both for the
alleged murder of the crippled store
keeper of Charlotte street, they gave
little sign that they had heard. Zim-
norman twisted in his seat then and
folded his hands. The woman did not
move.

course we mean a man who is fully
capable of representing the pursuit
of agriculture in all its just and right
eous economic interests, and who also
has the ability to represent such in

are afraid that the senator's proposed
amendment will not count for great
deal even though it should become q
law, because regardless of the restrict

Of last Saturday morning announced
the coming Of cold wave to arrive IN
this section during Sunday the people
were skeptical The mercury stood at
20, and there was a warm oppressive
moisture laden wind from the south
west. Even the children knew that
there could be no cold from that d.
rection But the weather man said he
had tip to theS effect that there was
a blizzard over Lake Huron, coming IN
this direction from the country in
which the cold is no joke. Within
few hours observers began to notice
that the southwest wind was shifting
around accompanied by rain COM

a drizzle and by Sunday morning,

good advice. Changes like this-ccld
