I ft I - 00 9 GreatTrials Hisfory TRIAL OF LORD CARDIGAN There has been only one trial of a peer of England before the Sovereign in Parliament since 1776. This was Lord Cardigan, whose very name was odious to the people and who, by what may be inferred from the words of Macaulay, could not go into a theater without being insulted, and could not I ! n .n;iu-.u train nnlacs n Yiiqc was raised against him. Lord Cardigan, at the time of his trial, was commanding officer of the Eleventh Iluzzars, and many were the insults given to other officers of the same iegiment, by the sending of in sulting messages, the flogging of a soldier on Sunday between the services, where half an hour before the sol dier's comrades had mustered for wor ship, and finally Lord Cardigan went so far as to fight a duel with a lieuten ant who had left the corps, and shot him through the body. In September, 1840, a letter was in serted in the "Morning Chronicle" de nouncing Lord Cardigan with reference to his insults and, in other words, writ ing a letter which, although true, was not expected to make the public any more friendly towards the despotic of ficer and Lord. It was signed "An Old Soldier," but was written by a Captain Harvey Tuckett, whose name and ad dress were (with his consent) given to Lord Cardigan on his application to the "Chronicle." A challenge was sent, and the two fought a duel on Wimbledon Common near a windmill. At the second ex change of shots Captain Tuckett was wounded and the parties were taken into custody by the miller at the wind mill, who had, to prevent the recur rence of duels on the common, some time before been made a constable. Under the Magna Charter -a peer tried for felony must be tried by his peers, and on February 16, 1841, a bril liant array of these dignitaries were assembled at the Peers' Chamber. Car digan was first taken to task by the Bishop of London for his language, and Lord Eldon expressed his inability A Special engagement of Ti e Hashville 10 PEOPLE 10 in a minstrel first part and Four specialties Two Shows Per Night Coliseum Theater 10c and 20c Students to understand how a man could fight a duel without some amount of de linquency, while the Bishop of London stigmatized dueling as "a shame and a scandal, the remains of the system of chivalry, barbarous, wicked and un christian." The miller whose name was Thomas Hunt Dann, was first called. On Sat urday, September 12, 1840, about five o'clock in the afternoon, he said two carriages stopped on the edge of the ; common from which Lord Cardigan j and three other gentlemen alighted, after which he witnessed the duel. He took all four into custody, but allowed Tuckett, having been wounded, to pro ceed to his home on giving him his visiting card. But the prosecution suddenly found themselves in a quandary. Xo wit ness to the transaction could prove the real Christian names of Captain Tuck ett, the onl? Christian name of his they knew was "Hervey." A chemist knew him as Harvey Tuckett, and Mr. Codd, an army agent, knew him as Harvey Garnet Phipps Tuckett, but had not seen him at Hamilton Place or Poultry Place, and consequently could not con nect him with the Harvey Tuckett mentioned by the miller and the chem ist. Lord Dcnman was not the man, where a defendant's liberty was in peril, to refuse him the benefit of any flaw, howover trivial. There was, he observed: "An absolute want of cir cumstances to connect the individual at whom the pistol was fired and who afterwards was seen wounded at Ham ilton Place, with the half-pay officer known us Mr. Codd as bearing the names set forth in the indictment. The mere fact of the wounded persons bear ing some of the names used by the half-pay officer is no proof that the former and the latter are the same." The peers concurred in the proposal, strangers were re-admitted and silence proclaimed. The Lord High Steward then put the question individually to every peer, calling the names from a list. Addressing the junior baron he inquired: "John Lord Keane, how says your Lordship, is James Thomas, Earl of Cardigan, guiity of the felony where of he stands indicted, or not guilty?" Whereupon Lord Keane, standing up in his place uncovered, and laying his right hand on his breast, answered. "Not guilty, upon my honor." AH the peers present concurred in this un qualified verdict with the exception of the Duke of Cleveland, who answered. "Not guilty legally, upon my honor." And thus Cardigan escaped punish ment for a crime of which he was guilty, but not technically so. Tomorrow Trial of Massachusetts Quakers.

WILSON MAKERS OF RED-MAN COLLARS PHONE 502 SHOUP'S LUMBER YARD This advertisement is real, genuine news and should be on the front pages of all the newspapers of Phoenix and surrounding towns with out cost to me. You all know that lumber has been reduced from three to ten dol lars a thousand feet the past few months and most of you know who did It. Considering the capital invested, I am sure, I am doing more business than any lumber firm in Phoenix. And a good way to continue to keep the price down is to buy more lumber from my yard, for as my business increases I can make a little closer prices and cause the bigger fellows to figure closer, too. Six months ago there was no competition. When you asked for the price of lumber you were told that dimension lumber was $35.00 a thousand, and fin ish $75.00; shingles $4.50 and further than that, you were told to fig ure your own bills. We do not figure bills; they all figure for you now, don't they? Write for personal letters, drive to your place and coax you to let them figure even unto annoyance. Who brought about the change? Now, to get the lumber out of one shed which I have to move and enlarge, I am going to sell 75,000 feet of 1x12, 2x4, 2x6, at $15.00 per thousand, and 10,000 feet x3 battens and inch ceiling at $20.00, 4,000 feet of resaw at $10.'00.
