STATE-U. S. CLASH
IN SUPREME COURT
Fine of $25 in Destruction OF
Cherokee Bridge Is Base

Daily Dispatch Bureau.
I'm the Sir Walter Hotel.

Raleigh, March 11-Assistant AZ
torney General Ray Maggie from
Washington, and North Cardinals At.
torney General A. A. F. Seawell eX-
changed legal thrusts and parties for
more than two hours here Thursday
in an argument before the States SUI
preme Court.
When they had about finished, Chief
Justice Walter p. Stacy remarked
I'm wondering if any decision we
might make is going to settle any
thing at all"; to which Mr.. Seawell,
who then had the floor replied:
Frankly, I don't think it will"
The case was the appeal of A. M.
Adams, Federal farm agent on the
Cherokee Indian reservation in Ora
ham county, from a SIS fine imposed
upon him upon conviction of Illegally
DESTROYING a bridge on a cartWay
through a part of the Indian lands.
It involved far more than the ques-
ton OF Adams and the S25, however
both sides agreeing that the real que3-
ton at stake is the extent of Federal
Jurisdiction over Cherokee lands.
AS Mr. Nagle put it: Whether or
not Indian lands held in the name of
the United States can be condemned
by the State without the consent o.
the United States and without notice
to the Federal authorities"
The Federal assistant attorney gen.
eral argued that any condemnation
proceedings for establishment of a
cartway or other right of way are
completely null and void unless tho
United States has not only been mott
fled, but has given its consent.
Mr. Seawell contended that the
lands in question are different from
the usual Indian lands inasmuch as
the State had complete and entire
jurisdiction over them and that the
title held by the United States is as
trustee only and as trustee for only
one specific purpose ALLEGATION Of
the lands to the Indians in severaltv.

After hearing Mooney himself re-

CHAPTER 40

NOW THOUGH it looked as
though there was nothing more
to be said after the sergeant had
reconstructed the tragedy, I for
one was determined to clear up
every point I could think Of. I
did not mean to be caught again
by someone else who would come
along with a theory that would
supersede this one. So although
Sergeant Beef had anxiously con-
suited a large silver watch sew
eral times, as though afraid that
he was going to be late for some
urgent appointment, I continued
to question him.
"What about the ropes ?" said.
"Oh them, well, in the night e

it wasn't too much of mystery.

to it would ave to be the true

Good was found fatally hacked with
an axe by the side of the truck-trail-
er in which he and his wife travelled
about over the country giving their
Tom Thumb circus in schools and
colleges with birds, dogs and mon
keys. Mrs. Good was found near her
husband, so badly hacked with the
axe or some other instrument, that
she remained unconscious for seve-
raj weeks in Maria Parham hospital.
She was discharged two weeks ago,
however, and was one of the princi-
pal prosecution witnesses. But she
could remember nothing of the trag-
edy. Good died early Monday morn
