SQUIRE THARP’S DEFENSE
He Explains Matters Relating to
Recent Discharge of Arnold.
To The Newark Journal:
In tlie issue of The Journal of
January the 25th, I notice that
Mayor Arnold and myself are re
ferred to in connection with certain
cases which were brought before
our courts in which one Whorton
Arnold had been arraigned for
the clandestine sale of whisky.
Now, the facts as to my proceed
ings in this matter are as follows:
On Dec. 29, 1906, T. H. Desir
ing tiled before me an affidavit
charging Whorton Arnold with
clandestine sale of whisky and on
the same day E. R. Jeffery filed
an information against the said
Whorton Arnold covering tlm
affidavit Hied by T. II. Dearing,
and stating that the said Arnold
had been continuosly engaged is
said clandestine sale of whisky
since the ‘28th day of Oct. 1906,
and asked that a warrantor search
be issued to search said Whorton
Arnold’s place of business here
upon I issued said warrant, auth
orizing said search and also com
manding the officer to arrest any
and all parties found therein en
gaged in said clandestine sale of
whisky, and this warrant was de
livered to one Mr. Pasle.v deputy
sheriff, for service. Now comes
the officer after having made the
search as directed, and having
Whorton Arnold under arrest for!
the clandestine sale of whisky,
and his trial day being set for Jan. i
2, 1906, and on that day he ap
peared for trial and his attorney :
asked that this case be dismissed
as to the time from Oct. 28, to
Dec. 13, stating that the said
Whorton Arnold had been pro- '
viously tried and acquitted for
a simular charge covering that
period of time, and produced the
Mayor’s docket to prove this fact.
Thereupon 1 ruled that the former
trial before Mayor Arnold was a ;
bar to further prosecution under j
this charge for the period of tin e
from Oct. 28 h to Dec. 13, the
charges being similar. Thereupon ;
the attorneys for the proseem on,
Hons. S. M. Casey and 1. ,1.
Mat-hony, asked that- the e. s < be
(Hsefiarged, which was doi *.
Now the above are I he cold facts ,
in this case and you have hereto- !
foreseen the docket entries of
Mayor Arnold, as pubd-len] in
The .Journal of Jan. 25, upon!
which I based my ruling. The *
law governing the same you may
find by referring to both the con
stitution of the United States and
tlnv State of Arkansas, which state
that a person shall not he tried
twice for the same olfense; Now
as to who is responsible, 1 am re
sponsible for th° r i!in\ 1 snare in
this ease am. <’• n’t ■ - '• s y <>>
else to assume uty par; i-:' sai.e :
and further 1 am not ashamed that'
** a cb «t% m =■*»
I made this ruling and should I
have a similar case l would rule
as 1 did in this instance. As to
who is responsible for the case
being dismissed, the attorneys for
the prosecution, I am sure, will
answer for that.
Now as to the further investi
gation of the matter as referred to
by The Journal, will say the edi
tor did ask me about this matter
and I told him the facts as near as
I could, but from some cause 1
have not been able to find any
reference in the columns' of The
Journal touching this interview
or the facts in the matter. All I
care for in any matter in which I
am concerned is lor the facts to
be given and if I err 1 don't ask
any one else to relieve me of the
reponsibility. I leave it to the
public to judge whether the facts
have heretofore been published and
who is responsible for the dismiss
ing of Whorton Arnold on Jan. 2,
1907. Yours Very Truly,
Jno. T. Thahi*.
A STORY WITH A MORAL.
There was once a young man
who had a face on him that would
sometimes wake him up in the
night and occasionally when he
would look at a stray dog it would
go away and have a fit
This young man loved a maiden
and wanted to give her his heart
and hand, but she gave him the
“ha, ha,” and told him if he could
trade his face off for a patent med- ■
icine cul or hang a chromo over i
his mouth, she might consider his
. .
proposition.
The young man went away sor
rowful and also hot under his cel
luloid collar, but it cured him of
most of his foolishness.
lie started the next week for
the Klondike and opened up a
restaurant and came back in T
years with three million dollars.
The young woman who had
given him the marble heart four
years ago was still single, and was
getting into that class where about
all the gatherings she got a bid to
wire church socials, where the
preacher announced “that every
body is coidially invited to at
tend.”
When the old girl learned that
the man whose application she had
turned down four years ago, had
returned home with the dough,
she determined that she would |
“sidle” up to him.
She said: “You don’t know,
dim, how much I regret what 1
said to you four years ago.”
“Yes, I suppose so,” said Jim, j
[is he adjusted a thousand dollar
diamond in his shirt front. Yon
ire the tenth woman who has told
me the same.”

Don’t neglect your cough.
Statistics show that in New York City
alone over 200 people die every week from
consumption.
And most of these consumptives might
be living now if they had not neglected the
warning cough.

Emtiljtton enables you to throw off a
cough or cold.

THOMPSON IN FISTIC COUP
Resented Being Called “Little Tur
nip Slip” and Fight Resulted.
Little Rock, Feb. U.—Represen
tatives W. M. Thompson of In
dependence county and A. H.
Rowell of Jefferson county, got
together yesterday afternoon
directly after the adjournment of
the House, and but for the inter
ferrence of friends it is quite like
ly that the results would have been
more serious. As it was there are
some who declare Mr. Rowell
landed a couple, while others de
clare that neither struck a blow,
but took it out in talk. The dif
ficulty was the result of the debate
on the Amis Anti-Betting Bill, be
fore the House yesterday after
noon. Mr. Rowell, chairman « f
tiie Judiciary Committee, support
ed Mr. Quinn of Garland County
in his efforts to have the bill go to
the Judiciary Committee in order
to allow the people of Hot Springs
to appear, and to present other
data regarding the case.
.Mr. lhompson opposed the
action, and made a strong plea for
immediate action. He declared
that sending the bill to the Judi
ciary Committee would mean
much delay. This brought Mr.
Rowell to his feet and he very in
digantly replied that he did not
want the committee on .judiciary
referred to in any such manner by
“the little turnip slip from Inde
pendence county,” referring to
Mr. Thompson.
Friends of Mr. Thompson noted
that the remarks struck deep and
after adjournment his calling Mr.
Rowell to account was not unex
pected. While in the hall Mr.
Thompson accosted Mr. Rowell
and demanded to know the inten
tion of Mr. Rowell’s remarks.
Before any serious trouble had oc
curred they were separated, and
later, in the Statehouse grounds,
they came together again, but
many declare that neither struck a
blow.
The occurrence is regretted by
the friends of both gentlemen.
Both are highly respected, and
from their respective viewpoints
made a most excellent argument
on the Amis bill.
SHOT THROUGH THE HEAD.
Atkins, Feb. 8.—W. E. Terrell,
superintendent of the mill of the
Cypress Lumber Company, shot
himself through the head late this
afternoon in his room at the Com
mercial hotel in this city, where
he makes his home with his family.
Although in a critical condition
Mr. Terrell has retained conscious
ness. lie claims that the shooting
was accidental, lie stated that he
was examining a revolver when
the w eapon was accidentally dis
charged. He was alone in the
room at the time.
KILLED flANY SNAKES.
,J. \\ . Uongleton, a farmer liv
ing rear Harrisburg, killed
twenty '>ne rattlesnakes one day
last \ve<>k. He discovered the den
on Pei ry’s Ridge on the west side
of L’Anguille river. The largest
reptile killed had twenty-two rat
tles.
WISCONSIN MODESTY.
Madison, Wis., Feb. 8.—A bill

bly today to prohibit actresses ap
