It would be hard to get a jury without some minds that could te swayed by the movement of the huud. ‘Linc ques- tion of absent treatment is being taked at Virginia stormy days. Some think absent treatment might be ap- plied to make people sick as well as to cure them; others think it takes $5 to make it work. Judge Wolfe thinks it is a dangerous element in a community, for it catches a certain class of people that don’t have much money, that have to work bard to raise $5 for absent treatment. that a person could be made drunk by ab- sent treatment. One fellow said the only way to test it would be to send $5 to parties that claim to have that power, some think $5 is the moving spirit. Judge Wolfe thinks it hard on the officer of the law to wait till the flurry is over; it is better for the officers to lose a little than for the many, and others think, and we think, it will take a large amount of responsibility off of the officers shoul- ders.
