MRS. MELTINA SILVY.
* &
Mrs. Meltina Silvy, aged 79
years, died Saturday afternoon
at 2:50 o’clock, after lingering
several weeks from the effects of
a stroke of paralysis. Surrounded
by those dear to her and realize
ing that her life had almost
reached the natural sunset in a
ripe old age, this Christian wom
an passed away, confident in the
hope of a new world of joy.
The funeral services were con
ducted by Rev. J. W. Smith at
the home of her grand daughter,
Mrs. 0. E. Jones, and quite a
number of the deceased’s friends
followed among the mourners to
the old Robinson graveyard, five
miles north of here, where after
a prayer, the remains were laid
to rest by the side of the hus
band, who had gone before.
Mrs. Silvy was born in North

to Garland Silvy. They moved
to Jacksonport in the early days
of that little town and were
prominently identified with its
social and business life.
The deceased became a mem

early youth and the influence of
her life was ever uplifting and
inspiring to others, who recog

sought to emulate her example.
What a myriad of virtues in
charity and to her belonged them
all.

SEN ATOR CALDWELL.
Judge Grace Imposes Fine Upon
Attorney for Inspecting Grand
Jury Records at Pine Bluff.
The following interesting story
is from the Pine Bluff Courier:
Senator Creed Caldwell, one of
the best known lawyers in this
city, ran against a snag in the
Jefferson circuit court here yes
terday morning. He was fined
$25 by Judge Grace for unpro
fessional conduct, and the fine
will in all probability stand just
as imposed.
Attorney Caldwell was in court
as counsel for Clyburn Hughes, a
negro, who was on trial for as
sault with intent to kill. The
cross-examining of all the wit
nesses had been concluded and
the prosecuting witness, Wilson
Battles by name, was placed on
the stand, Attorney Caldwell
! had the witness and was putting
him through a rather warm cross
questioning process when he dis
covered that the negro was,. in
his opinion, perjuring himself.
He asked the witness if he did
not testify before the grand jury
just the opposite to what he was
testifying before the court.
The counsel for the state ob
jected to the question and Judge
i Grace asked Mr. Caldwell what
! he was trying to prove. The at
i torney stated that he would show
that the negro witness testified
one thing before the grand jury
and was contradicting himself in
court.
“How do you know what he
testified before the grand jury?”
asked Judge Grace.
“I saw his testimony in the
grand jury records,” replied the
lawyer. “I went into the clerk’s
office and saw them.”
“You have no right to inspect
the grand jury records,” replied
the judge. “I will fine you $25
for unprofessional conduct.”
Attorney Caldwell attempted
to set himself right before the
court, but there was no explana
tion necessary. The trial pro
ceeded.
