JONES TO B~E HEARD LATER Union Man Accused of Poisoning Wife Still In Jail-Both Sides Ap .peal in Case. The State, 24th. The suprene court yesterday, af ter hearing arguments in the case of W. T. Jones, the Union man who is in jail on the charge of poisoning his wife, issued an order that before any action be taken the appeals from the order of Circuit Judge Hydrick and the chief jus tice, the first refusing bail and the second staying proceedings, be passed upon by the court. Jones was accused of killing his wife under most sensational cir cumstances; .and the testimony at the coroner's inquest a t tr aete d much attention.' When Jones was arrested, application for bail was made before Judge H ydrick and re fused, and when the case was call ed for trial an order was read fronm Chief Justice Pope, staying pro ceedings. From the order of Judge Hy drick the attorneys for Jones ap pealed and from the order of Chief Justice Pope the solicitor appealed. This means that both sides will have argnments before the supreme court, and it is, therefore, decided to wait until these were heard. It is provided in the order, however, that the solicitor shall agree that the cases be heard during the call of the seventh circuit. This has been agreed upon by the solicitor. The order and agreement is as follows: "Upon hearing the application for pndante lite and in the original jUrisdictioll of this court: "It is ordered that the nearing of said applications be postponed un til the hearing of the appeal from the order of his honor, Judge Hy drick, refusing bail and the appeal from the order of the chief justice: Provided. That the solici tor shall consent within five days in writing that the two appeals now pending in this court shall be heard during the call of cases from the seventh circuit. "Y. J. Pope, C. J.' "I consent to the terms of the above order. T. S. Sease, "Solicitor Seventh Circuit." EXECUTIONERS AS SURGEONS. Reasons for the Exemption of Doe tors From Jury Duties. Brit ishi 3edical Journal.

Thi.s seems to have )eenl particularly the case in Denmark; at any rate, we have more knowledge oii this point in regard to that country than any other. In "James'" some time ago Dr. K. Caroe, of Copenhagen, published a number of documents bearing on the subpect. The most ancient of these bears date July 24, 1579, and is a license is':ued by Federick II to An ders Freimut. executioner of Copen hagen, granting him the right to set bones and treat old wounds: he was expressly forbidden to meddle with recent wounds. In 1609 it is recorded in the municipal archives of Copen hagen that Gaspar, the hangman, had received four rigedalers for the cure of two sick children in the infirmary. In 1638. Christian IV summoned the executioner of Gluckstadt, ini Holstein, to examine the diseased foot of the Crown Prince. In a let ter addressed to Ole Worm, a leading I)anish physician of the day, Henry Koster, physician in ordinary to the king, complains bitterly of the slight thus put upon him. He says that for two whole months the hangman, "who is as fit to treat the case as an ass is to play the lyre,'' had the case ini hand, and the doctor was not asked for advice, and although the case wvent steadily from bad to worse the execu tioner received a fee of 200 rigsdal ers and a large silver goblet-"tre wards"' says the doctor plaintively. "which the greatest among us would not have received had he succeeded in curing the Prince according to theI rules of art." Again, in 1861. Christian V. gave Sfee of 200 rigsdalers to the Copen I agen hangmnan for curing thte leg of a page. In 1695. Andreas Lieb knecht, the Copenhagen executionei. was in such repute for his treat ment of disease that he wrote a book on the subjctt mi the name of thle Holy and ever BlesMea Trinity."' lIn U732. Bergen. an executioner in Nor way, was authorized by royal decree to practise surgery.

"*He says he would like to trade with you for your wife!"-it came out at last. It was a startling proposi tion indeed. For a moment we were both too breathless to comnent. Fin ally my husband yielded to his im pulse for amusement and smiling at me he replied: "Ask him what he will give for her." "He says six ponies, lieutenant." "Oh, tell him she is worth ;ots more than that." "He will give you twelve ponies for her." My husband again replied that he would not trade for anything like that so the Indian kept raising his bid. He offered twenty ponies: then twenty ponies and a squaw; and finally twen ty ponies. a squaw and a papoose. At length. wearying of the nonsense. my husband nodded his dismissal of the subject. But the Indian seemed to think that the apparent holdiiig out for a 'ligher price vonstituted a trade when the final offer was n1ot rejeeted. He appeared satisfied. but soon signi fied he wished to finish the bargain. Of course. my husband immediately objected. My savage admirer continu ed unaccountably insistent:- and ami cablv to rid himself of 1h,e Indian's importunity my husband told him was not fit for more travel: that I needed to go to rest at once. Accord ingly I entered our tent. The Indian was not content. and continued, with some of his compan ions. to hang around the camp until one of the men told them hey must now return to their camp. as we were all going to retire. When they had reluctantly departed my husband lMuzhingly told the lieutenant. who had not been present during the par leying. of the incident. The latter look ed grave, and expressed a fear that the Indian, in the belief that he had made a trade, might cause trouble Who Gets Elan c Pres - Whoever the favores .be sure they will be gift not only means also infinite plea surn of the family to see it will bring the fortt I have three hanc the boys also three f those ithat are not I one of the handson three hundred pour amount of candy ) governed by the am hold.

The lieutenant explained that the failure to reject the last bid and the presence of witnesses to the price haggling was all that the Indian considered necessary to make a binding affair of heart and honor. Of course, terms had to be reached. and my husband, for the only time in his experience with the red men. or as far as I know with any man, agreed to compromise.
