Continuing, Mr. Byrd declared this was “the third time that the clerk of ‘this court has been on trial on a felony charge in tge court of whioh he is clerk.” He referred to the “tragic experi- ence” the court had in the L.

Is that a good or disquiting ymptom? “Here, when hardly is the blood of the dead man dried on the grass of his own home, where he was slain, can it be conceived that. there is a lack of interest in Cumberland. over this tragedy? s it not more probable that. the absence of persons at the courthouse is a contrived absence?
