Scandal Sensation At Jackson
SimmeTing Down.

Yazoo City Sentinel, Feby. 14th.
There is not great deal of talk
now about the sensational suit filed
In the Federal Court against Gov.
ernor Russell by Frances Birkhead,
charging seduction. When the mat
ter was first published. naturally it
was the topic of general converse
tion, but when Gov. Russell charged
former Governor Bilbo as being be-
hind the matter, there was percep
tlble depreciation in interest. The
faction IN the Legislature opposed to
Russell and Bilbo, who were former
ly friends, but of late bitter enemies,
quoted the words of Iago, What If
Rhcderigo do kill Cassie, or CASSIE
do kill Rhoderlgo, or each do kill the
other; every way makes my gam
The concensus of opinion Is that the
legislature will not touch the matter
from any angle but will leave 1T to
the courts,

They are gone with lost opportunities

Regrettable it is we cannot go back,

Every high-minded person would do

ten or twenty years to live over. But
why think over the past? Why nurse
the unfortunate in your bosom?
You cannot go back If you would;

The Scandal sensation against
Gov. Russell brought about by the
sensational $780, 900 damage suit for
seduction of Miss Birkhead in the
federal court has about spent it's
force. The Legislature in the lower
House decided finally to have nothing
10 do with it as the charge OF the
time of the seduction was when
Russell was Lieut.. Governor, SO they
came 10 the view that they were
presently without Jurisdiction and
contented themselves with a resolu-
tion putting themselves on record as
condemning immortality in Office, to
which we can al agree. The Herald
is of the opinion that Russell's enc
mics have made toe biggest amount
If capital that they can out OF this
affair and that their hareheads and
reproachful editorials in the anti
organs have not proved so formda-
BILE and has fooled fewer people than
calculated and that the suit Will
likely wear itself out or be dismissed
from court as final DISPOSE ton, from
lack of proper supporting evidence.

OFF. TlERNAN
Wife of Man Accused of Be-
ing Father of Mrs. Tier

South Bend. Ind, Sept. 3o.-Debate
over the admissibility Of testimony of
Professor John Tiernan regarding the
marital relations Of himself and wife,
Is expected to be resumed when hear
ings are taken up today in the case of
Mrs. Augusta Tiernan, wife of the
professor who charges Harry Poulin
with the paternity Of her ten months
old child. Testimony of Mrs. Tiernan,
band, was to the effect that the couple
had discontinued marital relations
several months prior to the beginning
Of the alleged affair between Mrs.
Herman and Poulin.
Began Arguments.
The argument between the contend
ing attorneys began yesterday when
Professor Tiernan was placed on the
stand and was being questioned re-
raised the question as to just how far
a husbands testimony is admissible
in a case of the peculiar character of
the present one, and the debate was
still in progress when court was
adjourned for the day.
Yesterdays hearing which was
taken up for the most part with the
testimony of Mrs. Tiernan, was re-
plete with sensational incidents. At
fense limited at the possibility of Mrs.
Tiernan.s second child having a
father other than the professor, the
plaintiff arose from, the. chair. and
with. tears streaming down her face,

/. Defense attorneys Immediately
changed the line Of questioning.
Three times during the period
which Mrs. Tiernan was being sub
jected to a merciless cross-qu uestioning g
the witness collapsed. But on being
revived was able to continue.
Throughout the trying ordeal she
stood firm and refused to change a
single instance OF her story of the
affair with Poulin.
Believes Husband Innocent.
Although no announcement has
been made, it is expected that Mrs.
Mae Poulin. wife Of the defendant,
will be placed on the stand today.
Mrs. Poulin was subpoenaed by
Prosecutor Floyd Jellison, and is re-
garded as valuable though some
what reluctant witness. She has
maintained throughout a staunch be-
lief in her husbands innocence.
