election. He says that h'e feels |
greatly complimented but has
given the matter little thought
at this time, because of his
many official duties.
He has just completed and
has ready for submission his
brief in the celebrated case of
Earl Gilchrist, the negro who
| was sentenced to hang in Pulas
ki county for murder, and
whose case brought forth such a
storm of unreasoning indigna
tion throughout the North.
The negro’s age is one of the
principal points of contention in
the case, and is the point upon
which this nation-wide interest
in his case, with erroneous in
formation regarding the facts,
has been predicated. Upon this
point the brief for the state
says:
“Under the testimony the ap
pellant was a boy somewhere be
tween 15 and 18 years old. The;
testimony of the defendant!
I tended to show that he was only ;
115 years of age, while that of
the state was to the effect that |
i he was 18. It is admitted that
he was above the age of 14
years, at which age, under the
decisions of this court, one is
criminally responsible for his
acts.
“When a person reaches the
age of 14 years of age, his acts
must be weighed and judge un-|
der the law according to the
same rules and standards that i
are to be applied to those of ri
per years. To have instructed;
the jury that they should have!
taken into consideration appel
lant’s age in arriving at their
verdict and in ascertaining
whether or not certain material
elements necessary to the of
fense for which he was being
tried, existed at the time of the
tragedy, would have been only'
to have misled them and cause!
them probably to misunder-1
'stand and misconstrue the law I
by which they were to be guid
ed in reaching their verdict. If
there is any authority for any,
such instructions as the one re- ,
quested, we have been unable to
find it, and we are thertfore of j
the opinion that the trial court i
did not err in refusing to give
these instructions.”

The purgative action of Prickly Ash
Bitters not only removes hard impac
tions, gas and impurities, but it strength
ens the muscular action of the bowels
which causes them to move regularly.
Prickly Ash Bitters is a bowel tonic
and regulator in the truest sense. It
promotes daily evacuations, establishes
healthy movements and is the best
known remedy for disordered digestion,
flatulence and a constipated habit.
D. M. Blackwelder, of Litchfield, 111., says in
the Litchfield News: "lam perfectly willing, in
fact glad to testify to the value of Prickly Ash
Bitters as a medicine for the kidneys, stomach
»ud bowels. I have used it whenever I needed
anything of the kind for the last fifteen years
and it has always given satisfaction.”

The piercing pains of Neuralgia,
rk i r*/\ an fnl 1 n korl '■

can’t be beaten. They are the
only thing I have found that will
relieve my neuralgia and I have tried
most everything, besides medicine
from the doctor. I am willing to
tell anyone what the Anti-Pain
Pills did for me.”
Charles Hilderbrandt,

“have tried most everything” in
vain, why not do as he did, fight
your aches and pains with Dr.
Miles’ Anti-Pain Pills. Let the
pills bear the brunt of the battle.
No matter how stubborn the con
test, they will come out victorious.
