COURT
Decision in the Strange Case of
"CAVE-MAN GRUNDY"
Continued From Page Eight

DEFENDANT" Andy
Spears, deputy United States Mar
shall, was freed of the charge of
numbering "Cave-man Grundy,"
after a two hour elaboration of the
Jury in the United States Circuit
Court for North Carolina.
1t seems there was considerable
public opinion aroused over this
case because several previous kill
lngs had occurred where over
Jealous officers had pulled their
triggers too soon. Or, was it too
soon? Where is the line? How far
must an officer of the law 90 before
he can defend his own life?
1t was such questions as these
that were asked and answered by
the court during the process of this
trial. The court said: Social order
and political government are de-
pendent upon the observance of
law by the citizen. The mandates
OF the law r executed by officers
provided for such purposes and
such officers are invested with the
authority necessary to carry out
these mandates"
Spears had a warrant and Grundv
reached for his gun. Was the old
man going to shoot? Who knows?
The court said: when a person
puts himself in an armed and deadly
resistance to the process of the law,
ne becomes virtually an outlaw,
and outlaws are not entitled to the
courtesy of an open field and fair
fight" -
This is taken from a true case.

Congress May Conclude
Its Session Next Week
Prospects For Enactment o.
Major Legislation Go
Into Slump

WASHINGTON, Nov. g. R -
Prospects for the enactment of a
half dozen pending major leglsla-
tive proposals slumped today as
congressmen, the election over,
showed a marked inclination to
wind up this sessions business by
a sine die adjournment within the
next 10 days.
Even should a formal request
materialize by Secretary of the
Treasury Morganthau for addition
al taxes and an expansion of the
Federal orrowing Authority, 1t
appeared unlikely that it would
swerve democratic leaders from
a determination to put off further
work until January-a determina-
ton that found sympathy with
some republican chieftains.
An adjournment now, in effect,
would kill four house approved
measures and it least two impor-
tant resolutions pending in h e
senate.
President Roosevelt said he
would confer with congressional
leaders Monday on the legislative
situation, but could not say now
whether he would have anything
to ask of congress in the near
future.
The statement a a reply to a
press conference question asked
in an effort to ascertain his views
IN adjournment.
Supporters of Wagner Act
amendments, the Logan-Walter
bill to facilitate court appeals from
the decisions of government agen-
cies, the anti-lynching measure
and the Ramspeck civil service
bill would lose the ground they
gained in winning house passage
of these measures and would have
to start all over again in the next
session.
Only the R.amspeck bill, which
would permit the President to
bring approximately 200, 600 en-
ployes of so-called Temporary
government agencies under til e
civil service, was in a slightly diff
ferent category from the others
since it was approved in varying
form by both the houses and need
ed only the completion of a salts
factory compromise to win final
passage.
The other three measures were
awaiting senate action, along with
a proposal by Senator King ID
Utah) to relax legal restrictions
to permit the extension of credits
to Great Britain and a resolution
by Senator Tydings D-Md) to in
vestigate the governments fiscal
setup with a view toward recon-
mending ar approach to a bal
arced budget.
Morgenthau's request for a sub
stantial increase in the debt limi-
tation met prompt opposition from
Senator Byrd DAD, a member
of the so-called ECONOMY" bloc,
who said any large boost would
be IAN incentive for further ex-
travagances in government"
Speaker Rayburn of the house
made it plain that unless there
was a more pressing demand for
action, congress probably would
put off consideration of these ques'
tons until January.
Senator Barley of Kentucky,
the democratic leader, told report
ers recently that he saw no rea'
son why congress shouldn't quit
after the election. Senator McNary
of Oregon, the republican leader
was said to have confided tt
friends that he would offer nc
strenuous opposition to such {
course. 4
