By a vote of 21 ayes to 6 noes the
senate yesterday passed over the gov
ernor’s veto the Fuller joint resolu
tion proposing an amendment to the
constitution to authorize first and
second-class cities to issue bonds.
The measure had already passed the

The house passed Senator Woods’
bill requiring publication of appli
cations for pardons.
In the house Mr. Campbell of Ran
dolph moved to suspend the rules and
take up the King anti-trust bill.
There were 87 ayes and 30 noes, but a
two-thirds vote was necessary, so the
motion was lost.
Senator Covington was made presi
dent pro tem of the senate in the ab- j
sence of President Short.
The house defeated Senator Price’s

DEFEND A NTS DISCHARGED.
Lane Brothers Cleared Of Charge Of
Murdering Father Near Augusta
And Sinking Body In White
River.
Marianna, April 3.—The trial of Ira
and Lennie Lane, two young white
boys, before the circuit court here to
day, resulted in the discharge of the I
defendants. They were accused of
the murder of their father near Au-1
gusta some time last summer. The
case has attracted much attention and
the trial was largely attended. The
case was tried here on a change of
venue from Woodruff county.
The Lanes formerly lived in Brown
wood, Tex. They came to Arkansas
in the early part of last year and en
tered the business of fishing for pearls
on the White river. The father and
the two boys worked together and ;
were thought to have been fairly suc
cessful. They were supposed to have
saved money. One day the old man
was found dead near the river and
soon after he was buried his sons
started down the river in a boat.
They were suspected of the murder
of their father and officers of the
counties through which they would
pass on their way down the White
river were informed. They were ar
rested at DeVall’s Bluff and taken to
Augusta.
There was a rumor of lynching and
the lads were hurried away to Forrest
City. Again there was a rumor of
lynching and the boys were removed
to another county jail. The attorneys
in the case brought the trial to this
county from Woodruff on a change of
venue on account of the feeling that
had been exhibited there. The trial
continued for three days.
After their release from custody the
boys returned immediately to Brown
wood, Tex., their old home.
COMMENT ANENT
LEATHERMAN ACQUITTAL.
The senate acquitted Chancellor Ice
land Leatherman of the Third chan
cery district on each and all of the
eleven articles of impeachment filed
against him. The highest vote against
the chancellor on any of the charges
was 12 out of 29.
Not only did the senate find that the
;, i
charges were not sustained, but we
believe the opinion was general
among the members of the court of
impeachment that Chancellor Leath
erman was being attacked by the
powerful political combination of Hot
Springs that is headed by Sheriff Wil
liams.
It is unfortunate that a chancellor,
when in need of $200, should have
borrowed the money from a pool room
proprietor, which amount has not yet
been repaid. It is unfortunate that,
needing to borrow money, a chancel
lor should borrow it from a man who
was receiving fees in a position to
which the chancellor had appointed
him. It is unfort--.t#*ft' tfaflt-J* chan- _
cellor should borrow money from a
litigant in his court. The senatorial
court was satisfied that this loan did
not influence Chancellor Leatherman
in his decision of the case, but it was
testified that the litigant who loaned
the money said “he was speculating
on the court.” That such a remark
should be made was unfortunate, even
though the case was subsequently de
cided against the litigant and will be
finally determined by the supreme
court and not by the chancellor.
After hearing the testimony and be
ing made acquainted with the circum
stances the senatorial court decided
that Leland Leatherman did not de
serve the terrible punishment of im
peachment. If the people of the
Third chancery district think he
should not be their chancellor they
will have a remedy at the polls in due
season. Little Rock Gazette. * l!ig£
