DECISION

BUT INTIMATES HIS
RULING AGAINST MEN

MARION, Feb. %. - At the
conclusion of a six-hour hearing

mated that it would dismiss the
petition in behalf of Joseph Pic

Shipman and Ralph Fisher. Upon
request of attorneys for the de-
tense. court postponed the rem
dering of a decision until March
s. the opening day of superior
court term for Henderson county.
The court previously had dis
missed all the issues in the case
excepting one, that being the
contention that the special term
of Pennsylvania county superior

the four defendants were convict

On this feature. the courts in
timated adverse decision will be
rendered at 10 a. M, on the open
ing day of the March term of

while the four defendants con-
tinued at liberty under the $1O,-
600 bonds posted individually
when the temporary writ of ha-
beas corpus was issued.
Although counsel for the de-
PENDANTS argued at length several
issues in support of their petition,
the Judge dismissed all except
one: Whether or not the special
term of Pennsylvania county SUI

men in August. 1881, was proper.
" constituted. He asked counsel
to submit briefs, together with
supporting authorities, on this one
point.
Judge Finley expressed sympa-
thy with the argument that the
four men had made restitution OF
$4,000 to the county. but SAID
this issue was not before him.
at would be a grave injustice,
if the defendants should be forced
to serve prison sentences and
make payment to the county too,

in action. The quaint short jacket with
its long snug sleeves bespeaks the lat
est trend, but chiefest of all in the
matter of chic is the white starched
lace fixings which animate sleeves and
neckline. Here's fashion hint, IL you
would appear style-conscious to the
envy and admiration of your neighbOr
just add a touch of handsome stiff
with-starch lace to your velvet after
noon dress or evening gown, or what
have-you of velvet.
The very good-looking dress on the
seated figure will blend into almost
any daytime social environ. 1t Is the
sort of gown that clears up all doubts
Of the woman who finds herself con-
fronted with the "what-shall-I-wear"
query to this bridge party or to the
midday luncheon and musicale.
After velvet for street wear and for
social daytime activities, then what?
To which the very lovely evening gown
of powder blue mat velvet, pictured
to the left, gives perfect answer.
Take note of the shirring employed in
the graceful skirt panels, for favor
tie pastime with designers this season
is to shirr and tuck and smock velvet.
The off-shoulder decolletage, which is
now in vogue, is charmingly interpreted
in this gown. The flowers are made
Of self-velyet. The fitted short-waist
bodice tells story of new silhouette
which is coming in.
Speaking of formal dress, prefer
ence is given to the long-sleeved velvet
dinner gown, the type which calls for
a dressy little dinner hat to complete
the picture.

"No."
A tremor ran over the robbers
frame. That was a release of swift

But he controlled himself.

At this Jim laughed.

tute about half of the coveys on a part
Of his preserve. The environment was
unusually favorable for the production
of such new subspecies, because they
could be protected from hunters. The
estate was patrolled by game keepers,
and shooting was strictly regulated.
The phenomenon is being studied by
the Smithsonian institution, and under
its direction specimens have been sent
to various institutions for specialized
investigation.
Apparently, the red bobwhite has
been In existence for some time but,
without protection, has been unable to
make much Roadway. Search Of the
literature shows that he first was re-
ported in Virginia as long ago as 1921.
Originally. the color change might not
have gone very far, since Il does not
seem to give the bird any particular
advantage.
