CONFOUND IT THERE GOES ANOTHER TIRE! LAWYERS SPLIT HAIRS IN BLIND TIGER CASES Fannie Edwards Case Instance of Metriculosity in Defense of Liquor Law Cases. The metriculosity (If there be such 8 word) with which counsel for the defense conducts a case in court, especially a case in the Caddo courts in which the defendant is charged with violation of either of the several antilaws, was given an additional demonstration before Judge Bell Tuesday in which Fannie Edwards, a negress of the St. Paul bottoms was the defendant.

The case was entered intolerate in the afternoon and was not finished, but will be concluded Wednesday. To begin with the defendant has been in the city and district courts on similar charges on a number of different occasions and has paid fines for violating the liquor laws. Her case was not peculiar in that hairs were split by counsel for the defense but was merely an instance in random. E. P.

Curtis and A. M. Bishop, spotters or, as they prefer, deputy sheriffs, employed by Sheriff Hughes, teatified that they had bought whisky at her place in Beauregard street. They Identified Fannie as the woman from whom they bought the whisky. The attorney for the defense contended that their evidence wag not proof of his client's guilt as the spotters, had testified that they gave her the price of the liquor, that she disappeared into 8 room of the house and came back with the whisky, the inference being that she might, in turn, have bought it from someone else.

Sallie Vincent, an occupant of the same house testified that she rented the front rooms where the transfer of whisky and money took place and that she owned some beer the spotterg saw on the premises. Fannie Western, another inmate, offered evidence which was clearly an attempt to throw responsibility for the presence of intoxicants on the place a away from the Edwards woman. She told how she had called Fannie Edwards' attention to Curtis and and asked her to come out and take a look at them. "Why were you and everyone else on the place 80 inerested in what these two men, these spotters, looked like," District Attorney W. A.

Mabry asked the witness. "We wanted to know what they looked like and I wanted Miss Fannie to see was the response. had heard that they were the ones who turned up some other WOmen in the bottoms and wanted her to see them too. "Why," wag asked, "was she afraid of them Fannie had done nothing to fear the spotters, the witness said, and still the district attorney was curious to know why such pains had been taken to call the defendant's attention to the two deputy sheriffs Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S CASTORIA Texas State MK FAIR Dallas, Texas October 14th to 29th, 1916 Low Excursion Rates via "The Katy" Drawing-room sleeper and FREE chair car between SHREVEPORT and DALLAS, without change of cars.

There is no evidence of a stiffened foundation beneath these high crowns, or in fact beneath any of the crowns of the ultra fashionable millinery. This street hat, which has been exploited by all the milliners at once, so it would seem from the windows, is markedly different from anything we have hitherto worn. The high pot crown broadens at the upper end and is given a few dents for the sake of character. The brim is short and slopes slightly downward, and the whole hat looks as though a circular piece of felt had been bent into shape and tied around the headt with a band of felt or a bit of silver ribbon. There is no limit, however, the different kinds of Russian turbans which the milliners offer.
