I 1 ..,.1 If lie II ILftJim lJe JOHN Y. JORDAN Full Text of the Opinion of the Ccurt It Holds That the Rule of In Pari Materia Apples. IT IS ALSO CLEARLY INTIMATED THAT THE WHOLE WESTERN DISTRICT CRIMINAL COURT IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL. Herewith Js given In full the opinion of the Supreme court in the case of W.

H. Wilson vs. J. Y. Jordan, involving the title to the office of clerk of Buncombe's Criminal court.

The attorneys in the case were V. S. Lusk and Frank Carter, for Mr. Wilson, and Carter Weaver, Moore Moore of Asheville, and Shepherd Busbee of Raleigh for Mr. Jordan.

The legislature of 1895, Ch. 75, established criminal courts in Buncombe, Haywood, Henderson and Madison counties. These courts only had criminal jurisdiction. It was provided in that act that these counties should compose a criminal circuit, and that there should be a judge elected, styled a criminal circuit judge, who should preside over and hold these courts. The legislature of 1897, chapter 6, amended the act of 1895 by giving these courts civil as well as criminal jurisdic tion, and by changing the name to "Circuit" instead of "Criminal Circuit Courts." And the same legislature, chapter 7, created a similar court In McDowell county, with the same Juris diction as those of Buncombe, Hender son, Haywood and Madison, and placed it in the "Circuit" with those counties, and to be held by the same judge.

Un der this legislation, these courts were organized, a judge and clerks elected by the people. The plaintiff, being elected for the county of Buncombe, gave his bond and was inducted into office as clerk for a term of four years, which has not expired; and the tiff is still entitled to this office, unless he has been removed therefrpm by the legislation of 1899. The legislature of 1899, by an act passed on the 27th of February enacts as follows: "Section 1. That the Criminal Circuit court, composed of the counties of Buncombe, Madison, Haywood. Henderson and McDowell be and the same are hereby abolished;" and it provides that all the business pending in those courts be transferred to the Superior courts of their respective counties.

That on the 3d day of March, four days thereafter, the legislature passed another act, entitled "An act to 'Establish the Western District Criminal Court." This act is elaborately drawn, being almost a perfect copy of the act of 1895, except as will be pointed out hereafter; and on the 6th day of March, three days after the passage of the act to "establish the Western District Criminal Court," the legislature passed another act, entitled "An Act to Abolish the Criminal Circuit composed of the counties of Buncombe, Madison, Haywood, Henderson and McDowell." If the act of the 27th of February, 1899, stood alone we would hold that it "abolished" the Criminal court of Buncombe though it does not say that it abolishes this court. It says "that the Criminal Circuit court" composed of the counties of Buncombe, Madison, Haywood, Henderson and McDowell, is abolished. If no other act had been passed, re-establishing this court, the intention of the legislature would be manifest, and it would be our duty to hold that this court was "abolished." If the Criminal court of Buncombe county has been abolished and not restored by this legislation, the clerkship being but an incident depending on the existence of the court, it Is also abolished and the plaintiff has no office, and no right to maintain this action. If it is claimed that the act of the 6th of March is the act that abolished this court, then the act of March the 3d was passed when plaintiff was in office, and the act of March 3d legislated him out of it. The act of March 3, as we have said, is almost an exact copy of the act of the 23d of February, 1895," and, so far as the powers and jurisdiction and territorial extent of the courts, established by the two acts are concerned, they are the same.

The act of 1899 differs from the act of 1895 in these respects: It is extended to the counties of Burke, Surry, Yancey, Forsyth and CaldwelL It provides that the commissioners of the countiesJ. included in this act shall not draw less than 12 nor more than 24 Jurors for the first week of the Superior courts embraced in this Criminal Circuit. It provides a solicitor to be appointed by the judge, for the most of the counties embraced in the circuit- It provides that these solicitors, so appointed by the Judge of this criminal circuit, shall go into the Superior courts and prosecute for the State. It increases the judge's salary from J180O to $2750; and. while it provides for the appointment of clerks, it fails to provide that he shall enter into bond for the discharge of his duties, and it fails to provide any fees for the clerk, except as may be provided in section 13 of the act, which is as follows: "That it shall be the duty of the Board of County Commissioners of each of said counties to provide for the payment of fees of the solicitor and the fees and compensation of the clerks and the sheriffs of said counties respectively, and the pay of jurors and witnesses as is now provided by law, and all other expenses incident to said court, by order on the county treasurer of said respective counties." And it only vests the county with criminal jurisdiction, as did the act of 1895 before the amendment of 1897.

If there te other changes made to the act of 1895 by the act of 1899. they are of minor importance, or have escaped our attention. All acts of the same session of the legislature upon the same subject matter are considered as one act. and must be construed together, under the doctrine of "in pari materia." State vs. Bell, 25 N.

THE GREAT MILITARY ROAD FROM PONCE TO SAN JUAN GARLIC-EATING A NATIONAL HABIT. George S. Powell, who is at home from Ponce, Porto Rico, after an absence of nearly seven months, has been in the government service there since early in December. He filled the pos tlon of chief clerk in the department of the depot quartermaster, with headquarters at Ponce, and an idea of the extent of the business done in connection with the department may be formed when it is stated that at one time there were 800 civilians on the payroll. In Mr.

Powell's office there were five other North Carolinians. His term of service under the government closed yesterday. Mr. Powell declares that Porto Rico Is a beautiful country. The scenery along the great military road leading from Ponce (pronounce it Poncey, please) to San Juan is as grand as that of the Blue Ridge.

This road is 81 miles in length and Is macadamized throughout. At some points it is cut through the solid rock. The bridges and culverts are all splendidly built made for all time, as all Spanish masonry is done. The trip between these cities is made in a day by relays, the little Porto Rican ponies getting over the ground in a manner surprising to those not acquainted with their powers. Ponce is not what some might suppose, a weatherbeaten, antiquated municipality.

Instead, it has water and sewer systems, electric lights, macadamized streets and every street is sprinkled daily. The scenery about Ponce is much like that in the immediate vicinity of Asheville. As to weather, Mr. Powell had no expeiience in the rainy season, but he was told that it never becomes very hot there. His winter experience was evidently quite pleasant.

In mid-winter the mercery went as low as 65 degrees (above, of course) and it is not necessary to add that no emergency fund was necessary for the relief of sufferers from cold. Once during the nter it was cool enough to sleep under a blanket. The visitor to Porto Rico who es-r-ans the trarlic habit must needs have a strong will. The natives use garlic in nearly everything, and unless one holds out stubbornly he eventually finds himself "doing as Rome Another thing especially noticeable about the Porto Ricars is love for talk. This il marked among the tradesmen, and the purcnaser who buys at the price first quoted is likely to be laughed at.

It Is a characteristic of the country that the dealers must be talked down from the original fig-hk Thev exDect It. and the one who fails to argue for a reduction not only "pays dear for his uui ik makes himself a target for remarks similar to those applied to the tender foot in the Wild- West.

Death of RoswHI P. Flower is the Cause. Trading Eclipsed Anything Ever Witnessed. VARIATIONS FROM TWO TO THREE POINTS COMMON WHILE NEW YORK AIR BRAKE BROKE 60 TO 125 FROM YESTERDAY. Eastport, L.

May 13. Ex-Governor Roswell P. Flower, one of the best known financieis of the country, died here last night of acute indigestion. He was regarded as one of the leaders in Wall street and had immense holdings. His body was taken to New York on a special train this morning.

The funeral will take place Monday In New York City. New York, May 13. The stock market opened demoralized today on heavy selling by the bears and liquidation of long stocks on the apprehension by the death of former Governor Flower. Twenty-five thousand shares of Brooklyn Rapid Transit sold from 110 down to 100, the low point Indicating a drop of 13 3-4 from yesterday's close. People's gas slumped 15 points and other Flower specialties from 6 to 10 points each.

New York air lurake dropped 60 points to 125. Trading during the first hour eclipsed anything ever witnessed in the local market for violence of fluctuations. Variations of two to three points were common and in one instance there was a split In New York air brake of 15 points in a single transaction. There appeared to be some unanimity of action among substantial interests to support the market after the opening demoralization, and stocks were purchased, rapidly improving prices. Brokers were overwhelmed, with orders to buy and sell.

While" the activity abated toward the close of the first hour there is still considerable excitement in specula tion. WHEN DFWEY WILL START WILL TAKE HIM FOUR MONTHS TO MAKE THE VOYAGE. Manila, May 13. 1:55 p. m.

Blair's Furniture Btore. Sang "Jesus, Lover of My Soul' While They Worked. NINE MEN SHOW THAT BUN COMBE'S PRISON LACKS MUCH OF BEING SECURE. A jail delivery that takes rank as a close second to the famous Ray and Anderson escape, in the days of allit erative headlines, when The Citizen announced "Buncombe's Boasted Bas tille Busted," occurred early this morn ing at the county Jail, when nine Federal prisoners sawed and broke their way to freedom. And while the men were executing their daring plan they sang "Jesus, Lover of My Soul" and other good old hymns to drown the noise of the beaver-like workers.

The plotters for the jail-breaking were in the upper tier of the steel cage on the third floor of the prison. There is only one door to this cage, at the southeast corner, and this is always locked except when the turnkey opens it to admit persons entitled to enter or to remove prisoners. There are three cells in this tier, and the doors are left open, so that the prisoners may stretch their limbs in the narrow corridor and have access to the lavatory in the northeast corner. There is an automatic locking arrangement by which these three doors are locked nd barred when the bolt of one is turned. BREAKING STEEL.

The prisoners, going into the corri dor, used some instrument, said to be a knife, and fell to work on a bar that passed above the doors and operated the bolting arrangement of the door to the north cell. Cutting and breaking this, a section of the bar five feet long, half an inch thick and two Inches wide was torn from its fastenings and used in the further prosecution of the plan. The men were then no nearer liberty then they were before, but they had a powerful instrument in that bar. The cage front is a lattice work of steel, and the men set to work upon these cross-bars at a point Just in front of the middle cell. Two bars were cut partially in two: the five-foot bar was then Inserted and used as a pry.

The latticed bars snapped, some of the other prisoners say. under the pressur. of the powerful lever with a noise such as Is made by the breaking of a cornstalk. The section thus broken out left an opening about 8x12 inches, and through this narrow orifice the prisoners wriggled themselves and climbed down the lattice work to the floor of the main corridor, 12 feet below the opening. The men then moved around the corridor to the west side of the jail, carrying the same five-foot bar that had been of so great use to them, where there was the brick wall of the building to keep them from the open air.

FREE! But a brick wall is nothing to men who can break their way out of a steel cage, so they set to work on ths south side of the middle window, which has a frame of wood. With their bar thev pried out enough bricks and mortar ti make aa opening large enough for a man's body. A portion of a cross-bar on the outside projected into the opening, but in spite of this the men wormed their way through and swung off to the ground, a distance of nearly 12 feet. The remainder of their, work was easy. They climbed the north bank of the yard, scaled the fence and were free men again.

The escapiic mon wore all white, and United States prisoners. Some had been sentenced, while others were awaiting trial. Those who gave leg bail are; THE ESCAPING PARTT. V. R.

Burnett of Haywood, sentenced to two years for illicit distilling. James Sanders of Cherokee, one in the pen, for robbing a postoffice. Reuben Long of Cherokee, 12 month3 in the pen for postoffice robbery. George Beshears of Cherokee, one year in the pen for postoffice robbery. Lum Tow, one year in the reformatory for postoffice robbery.

Richard Tally of Buncombe, awaiting trial on the charge of robbing the Weaverville postoffice. Ed. Hughes, A. Sherman Owens and Julius Lance, awaiting trial on the charge of moonshining. JAILER LEE'S STORT.

Jailer W. Lee told The Citijen this morning: "I was up and around the jail until about 11 o'clock last night. The prisoners got to singing spiritual songs, which was a little unusual, and making a good deal of racket, which was not unusual. After awhile they got quiet, and I went to bed in the jailer's house a short distance from tre prison. "I knew nothing of the escape until this morning.

Deputy Marshal Baley came down to get some of the men and take them to the pen. It was scarcely more than daylight, and it was darker in the jail than I wanted to risk In throwing the lever to open the cells, so I went back to the house to get a lamp. When I returned. Marshal Baley said The prisoners are all out. I expressed doubt, and he replied 'Look at the hole in the cage and you will see.

And investigation showed that the men bad escaped. "There has been one other escape during my term as Jailer. One Federal prisoner escaped at the commencement of court. The marshaJs brought seven men to be locked up. Only one officer went further than the door with me, and when we got to the cells It was found that there wert only six to be locked up.

The seventh had evidently stood aside as the crowd passed in and then kipped. AFRAID TO GIVE ALARM. In the tier uner the Federal prisoners cells were three colored men. Two of these. Phifer Boon and Jerry Whiteside, heard the men escaping.

Whiteside says: "The nine men went In two squads. The clock struck 1 Just after the first squad of six passed out. They all came down In their night clothes, putting on their suits after they got out. I saw Mr. Lee walking about the jail yard until late." -Why did you not make an alarm to prevent the escape?" The Cltisen asked Whiteside.

"I didn't know what was the matter at first, and then when the men got oat I was afraid to holler. Some of them aid to me yesterday afternoon that they were going to make a raid, and if so. Prisoners In the building tell the Jail er that the jail breakers had a knife and had been working on the big lever several days: that when they got it cut partly in two they shoved a portion of broom handle under it and broke It off. SEARCHING FOR THE MEN. Sheriff Lee and several deputies set out early today to run the escape! men down, if possible.

It is scarcely necessary to say the Sheriff deeply re grets the occurrence. GOVERNMENT JAIL NEEDED. Clerk Moore of the U. S. court said today: "If the government will not tnriHd a Jail here It ought to rent a building and fit it up for a prison.

It wouold not be used except during terms of court, but the government would then have Immediate care of its own prisoners. The United States should have a jail here, as well as at other points where Federal court is held. The custom is to commit men charged with an offense to the Jails of their respective counties until court, when they are brought here for trial. After sentence they are sent back to their own counties again, unless there is a sentence to the penitentiary. "Mark Bradley escaped from the county jail the first day of court, and the jailer has been indicted on the charge of escape." AGUINALDO ISSUES ORDERS HOPES TO FORCE RECOGNITION OF BELIGERENCT.
