Robert Chestnut yesterday, through his attorneys, Raysor & Summers, Wolfe & f3erry and A. H. vioss, notified Solicitor Hildebraad that he intends to appeal to the Supreme Court from the verdict and judgment rendered in his case, on grounds ''hereafter to he served." It will be remembered that Robert Chestnut was convicted week be'orr last of manslaughter for the killing of Will R. Sabin, the sentence given him under the verdict being ti: teen years in the Penitentiary, The Judge in sentencing Chestuut stated that he could have been convicted of either murder or manslaughter on his (Chestnut's) own testimony. . The appeal comes in the nature of a surprise, as it was generally ex pected that the sentence would be accepted, and that Chestnut would begin serving out his time at once Under the rules of the court the defense had to serve notice of appeal within ten days after the court's adjournment, if they intended to appeal, and this they have done. The defense still has 30 days in ^which to perfect the appeal. In the ordinary course of events, the appeal, if perfected within the 30 days limit, will be taken up by the Supreme Court in December next, ^ " '> " It; ircu n I pH t.hp UUU 11 Lb UUW 11 IUI IO ^ i Uli vvv. case will be heard again at the court here either in January or at the May 1912 term, more probably the latter.

Morse and took their darling little baoy Margerene, age 3 years old. O, how hard it was to give the little darling up,but then God's holy will be done, and we must try to bring ourselves in submission to His will, His will, not ours be done, for God deals gently always.
