NIGHT RIDERS GET NEW TRIA.L Tennessee Supreme Court Reverses Lower Court in Famous Trial. thei ei. m t hrider-s. s:x 1,1* ed wna the muder C.. t Fvo)t Lake;;, october if9 i):-. w e oday and were remanded for new ials. The six men who were under the ath sentence are Garrett Johnson,. leged leader of the night riders' or anization in Obin countx; Arthur loar, Fred Pinion, Sam Applewhite, id Burton and Roy Ransom. The ther two, Bud Morris and Bob Huff an, were convicted of murder in the econd degree. The opinion in the case was deliv red by Special Justice Henry A. Craft, of Memphis, appointed in the stead of Justice M. M. Neil. In reversing the case, he assigned two principal reasons. The first was that the grand jury, which found the 'ndictments against the night riders ras not selected in a proper manner. The grand jury was selected out of a I panel named by Judge J. E' Jones. the trial judge, whereas the law pro vides the panel must be chosen by at least three members of tihe county -court. The second error on which the reversal was based is that the State did not allow the defendants a suffi cient number of challenges. The eight were tried on an indictment, and the trial court upheld the State's conten tion that the eight defnedants were only entitled to tihe legal number of challenges, twenty-four, which would apply if one man was on trial. When Justice Craft conclude'd his opinion a storm of applause broke out in the court room, but was quick ly stopped by the marshal and his deputies. The prisoners will be taken back to Union City,- and an effort will be made to secure their release on bail pending a second trial of their cases. Union City, Tenn., July 3.-Those most active in the prosecution of the alleged night riders, of Reel Foot Lake, consider the situation now-.such as may again assume a serious phase. That it will be difficult to secure a jury to again hear the cases is con eeded, and as yet no decision has been reached by the representatives of the State as to their future plans. An immediate trial of other pending cas es of similar nature, however, is not looked for. ROCK I.T. TREASURER SHORT C. S. May Informs His Bondsmen That His Account Lacks $6,100 of Balancing-He Makes Good. Rock Hill. July 3.-A shortage ex ists in tihe office of Treasurer C. S. May, who for a number of years has been in the employ of the city. This much is known not because anyone "unearthed' "it, but because Mr. May himself wen-t to this bondsmen and so stated. He gives the amount as .$6,100, and the amount was made good, not by Mr. May 's bondsmen, butt by him self. After Mr. May's confession to his bondsmen there were many rumors afloat, but they were merely rumors, and it was t'he intention of the press, local papers, and correspondents, to await the official statement from the - uncil, which is having an examina ion made by the American Audit -company. It is .expected that this re port will be made .public in a short time. Mr. May has many friends i,re who deeply regret his trouble. COTTON REPONT ISSUED.
