LAWYERS ALL HAD A SAY
RATHER I'SVHl'AL,
BCENI-: IN
COURT.
H. A. iudKcr AnoloicUeH lo nr.
Wild and Locke crals and Oili
er nuke H uuiut-niH Mclullre
and Sberuiau Appeal lo The Su
preme Court.
After the short morning recess of the
Criminal court Saturday, 11. A. Guilder
arose to a question of privilege ami
stated to the court that he bad received
it note from a witness whom he bud
Itiestioncd on the stand yesterday, in
which the writer said he considered that
Mr. Uudgcr had done liim an injustice.
Continuing, Mr. Guilder said : "1 iminc
,'iuttly answered the note and agreed to
leave the matter to an attorney he
would select and if the arbitrator decided
that there wus no necessity for the ques
tion 1 would make amends as publicly
as I had asked the question. The mut
ual Irieud has decided that the question
was unnecessary and I now make Mr.
Wildasfullandcoinpletc a retraction and
as public as was the offensive question.
wish to state lurtlicr that this apology
is not in any sense in obedience to the
statement that appeared in Tin-: Asiik-
11.1.K Utizi-n, which statement I believe
did Mr. Wild fully as great an injustice
as mv question. 1 am really sorry that
asked the question, as t have known
Mr. Wild all my lite and I regard him as
l brave man.
Judge lotus stated that he hoped the
Mioldgv would be satisfactory to Mr.
Wild mid also to Tin; Citizkn, which
had its own peculiar views regarding the
laws.
I.ocke Craig addressed the court and
said that be desired to sav there had
iL'in i. nmcotistruction of what he had
said in the ease of the Sherman trial re
garding the Jews. Said Mr. Craig, "1
know only one of the persons against
whom the language was claimed to have
been used and he is Mr. lllombcrg, and
I know nothing ot him except to bis
credit."
Li. M. Luther then arose und said: "I
im the attorney who censured Mr.Cruig
and 1 think my version of the nff.tir is
correct; but if I did Mr, Craig an injus
tice 1 am willing to apologue. I still
think, however, that 1 was correct in
what I stated."
Judge Jones inquired if there were
other experiences and II. II. Stevens re-
pliril that he hud one. Mr. Stevens
said. "I agree with Mr, I. utber, but if 1
said anything in my speech that rillcctcd
on Mr. Crnig I am Sorry for it."
When the nllernoon session ol tliecourt
was called to order Mr. htevens called
Judge Jones' attention to the fact that
the daughter ol M. Sherman, who had
been convicted of libel, wished to make a
statement in her lather s behull. 1 he
Judge looked at the daughter, who is
prepossessing young woman , then at
.Mr. Stevens, and replied in a kindly tone
that he could imagine what the state
ment would be. Mr. Stevens s lid be
didn't know that it could add to what
had been already said, and the Judge did
not hear what would no doubt have
been a touching appeal lor mercy toward
n father.
Then taking up the cases if Sherman
and Melntire for sentence, Jude Jones
said he had carefully weighed the cases
in every way. He had as much sympa
thy for Sherman nud Melntire as had
in v man present. II he were to be guided
bv his feelings he would not put upon
them the punishment he proposed to.
If he should line the men the line would
necessarily l.c a heavy one, $.10(1, and
that would be a punishment to their
faniilicj. "In mv charge to the jury,"
continued Judge Joins, "I said the law
protected a mnn'sreputntion us much as
it did his proKTty. Here is a man who
utarted out in life with many things
against him. lie has built up a reputa
tion and here in court proved as good n
haructcr us that ot auv man in llun-
couioe county, lie has two rivals
in business, who enter into u deliberate
conspiracy to bieuk him up and run him
out ot town. 1 hey write lo Anno.irtV
Co. that Mr. Hill is a negro, that he has
violated the criminal law and was pre
paring to delranil the company mid
leave. So far as this act is concerned they
arc equally guilty, The jury has found
that Sherman's statements were false
and libelous. Melntirendmits it. If the
law equally protects a man's reputation
anil his money, then these men deliber
ately tried to steal his reputation. If a
thief takes a man's watch the watch can
be gotten buck, but not so with a
man's character. 1 had thought once to
make the sentence a fine, but that is not
a sufficient punishment. Here was a
deep laid plot to ruin the character of a
man. The people ought to be taught
that they cannot ruin a man s reputa
tion unlets there is good ground for it.
I cannot see any dillcrcncc in their guilt
they ore equally guilty and their pun
ishment shall be the same. Make the
entry, Mr. Clerk,
And then the sentence ol otic yeur each
oti the county roads was imposed,
Judge Jones then culled the attention
of the bur to a rule now existing which,
it called to the attention ot the County
Commissioners, he thought they would
change, It is that men sent, to the chain
gang tor misdemeanors are made to wear
striics as arc those sent up lor felonies.
stritics, he said, were a sign ot an lu
minous ollence and should be worn only
by men convicted of n felony. Messrs.
U. M. Luther, II. A. Gudger, ex-ludge
Carter. Solicitor Carter and Locke
Crnig spoke on the subject, agreeing
with udge ones, un motion oi Mr.
Luther the Judge appointed a committee
to properly present the matter to the
County Commissioners and ask them to
make an order m accord witn udge
loncs suggestion. 1 his committee is

STRIKERS I HV. DYNAMITE.
They Illuw Up Mine Machluerjr
Out of Malice.
DiKMiNCii.vM, Ala., May ".A mob
numbering from TiOO to 200 went to
Price's mines at Horse creek last night
at midnight and blew up the boiler and
other mine machinery with dynamite
and fired 100 shots into the company's
store and houses. No one was hurt.
The mob then went to the Victoria mines
and blew up several freight cars loaded
with coal and turned others loose down
the mountain, wrecking them.
The sheriff and a strong posse have
gone to the scene of trouble, but the
mob fins left. It is believed they have
gone to other mines to commit like dep
redations. The cause of the trouble is
that the miners at Horse Creek refuse to
join the strikers.
lircat excitement prevails in Walker
county and Governor Jones has been ap
pealed to for protection.

fore a jury. The courtroom was tilled
to its lull capacity by spectators. The
rio of defendants came into court and
took their scuts. The proceedings were
penrd by Mr. llvmnn in the argument
f the defense. lie said that he would
prove by prominent citizens that the ar
rest ot the defendants was one of the

llccxDcctcd to show bv unnucstioncd
proof that a conspiracy existed for the
conviction of the defendants.
After several witnesses were examined
to show that Coxcy did not trespass on
the grass, Coxey was called in his own
defense. In the course of his testimony
he stated that, according to the program,
the march was to be on the north side ot
the capitol, but they were under the lend
of the police and if the army had not
been escorted to the south of the grounds
the misdemeanor might never have been
committed. The banner presented to the
immonwenlers by the Knights of La
bor of Allegheny reading, "Pittsburg

Did you not know, Loxey," said Itir-
ney, "that you were violating the laws
in trying to speak ?"
1 am an American citizen and 1
thought I had that right. Hcsides, the
constitution gives me the riuht and I

intended to repeal the constitution."
J lie witness was then questioned as to
his
reasons tor carrying Commonweal
bannerettes." He said it was tor the
purpose of bringing about good feeling
and demonstrating a brotherly spirit ol
rgnnization.
