Upon affidavit of all the defendants the hearing was removed from Mayor Powell. He then sent the case to Jus tice J. C. Marcom and the latter came to the Mayor's office . to conduct the hearing. When court convened Mr. Ryan moved for a severance of the several cases so that each defendant could be tried separately. This course was consid ered unnecessary by the prosecution, but Justice Marcom gave the defendants the benefit and allowed the cases to be di vided.

There were two children which it was arranged should be re turned to the mother on the 7th of May, but when that day arrived Mr. Case, re fused to 'either give up the children or communicate with his wife on the sub ject. Then comes in the heroine, Miss Bell, who left here on the 10th of June (or Ocean Springs. Upon arrival there she found that Case would give up but one of the children, but in her resolve to bring both of the little girls to GreenBboro Miss Bell made friends with several lawyers, a newspaper re porter and many other people, who as sisted her with successful execution of her plan. She secured permission for the children to dine with her, took a sail down the river, boarded a train and concealed them until ahe got to Memphis .where she was arrested. Here the reporter again appeared aa a- parallel hero, obtained counsel for her; and finally, according to The Mo bile Dally Item, Judge Sumner made an order discharging from custody the young. woman. The Judge stated that he did It on the contract produced by Miss Bell, but that it the matter were before him otherwise or between father and mother he would give the custody of the children to the mother."
