He Made a Motion for a New Trial.
The Case Against Postmaster Wise
of Coffee County, Resulted in His
Acquittai-—Case Wfce Ended This
Morning.
The Jury In the case of J. J. Par
nell, accused of counterfeiting $5 gold
pieces ,returned a sealed verdict yes
terday and It was opened In court this
morning The verdict was guilty with
a recommendation of mercy.
Parnell represented himself In the
case, interrogating the witnesses and
making his own argument .the court
having appointed Mr. J. R. L. Smith,
of Macon, to give him whatever legal
assistance be desired
The sentence of the court was
fine of one dollar and service in the
federal prison In Atlanta for one year
and a day.
“I make a motion for a new trial on
a wnt of error,” said the prisoner.
“That can come in the usual legal
form.” responded Judge 8peer.
“I want to put the court on nth
tlce”—
“Take the prisoner In charge”, said
the court to the marshal and Parnell
was led back to the Jail. The case
has been quite an interesting one.
Parnell denied his fcullt and stated
that the moulds which were found
and the evidence against him was the
part of a scheme to shield other par
ties. But the burden of the evidence
was against him.
Tampering With Love L-tters
The next case this morning was
against Postmaster Wise, of Pickren,
Ga, who was charged with intercept
ing letters written by Hlrnm Taylor,
a dwarf, to Miss Mary Jane Odum,
and of Inditing replies to them. It
was all a Joke on the part of the post
master, If he waB guilty at all, the
letters being written by other parties.
fetters alleged to have been "written
by the young lady, all of which were
filled with terms of endearment cal
culated to stir the spirit of the love
sick swain His answers to them
were pretty warm, the entire corres
pondence being read in court this
morning.
It leaked out that an affair of the
heart would be aired In court during
the morning and a large crowd. In
cluding many ladles, were In attend
ance
Much of the evidence In the case
was given In yesterday, the young
tally In the case being one of the wit
nesses. She was rigidly examined
by the lawyers and Judge Speer, him
self, asked some questions that
would throw light on the case,
was quite evident that she did not re
gard all of the questions an being
noeessary and some of her answers
were tnrt.
Another witness In the case was
J. C. Powell a young white man who
admitted writing the letters to which
Miss Odum's namo wan signed,
though he said that Wise dictated
the substance of them.
The' prosecutor In the case, though
only about three feet tall, is much of
a man for his size and Is said to be
very intelligent, as well as sensitive.
Ho was In court this morning when
the letters which he wrote In answer
to the bogus ones were being read.
He stood the ordeal ns long ns possi
ble and then left the room.
What the Defendant Claimed.
The defendant In the case was rep
resented by J. M. Johnson and his
line of defense was that no postage
accompanied the letter which was
first opened the letter led to the
correspondence. The defendant la a
merchant ns well ns postmaster, and
It Booms that he redeems tobacco
tags of certain brands at a half a
cent each. Taylor sent four tobacco-
tape to pay for n two cent stamp, but
Postmaster Wise Would not accept
them, returning the letter to Taylor
by Powell.

Druggist E. A. Oimmock Says he
Does Not Charge Anything for Vi-
nol Unless it Gives Satisfactory Re
sults
When asked by a reporter of the
Time- how he could make such a broad:
offer in regard to any medicine, A. E.
Dimmock replied:
“If Vino) were a patent or secret pre
paration it would be another thing, but
it is not, everything it contains is named
on the label.
Vinol is simply the np-to date form of
administering cod liver oil, which for
centuries has been recognized as the
grandest of all body-building agents for
wasted human strength and vitality,and
during the last five years we have seen
it produce such grand results that we
are cow willing to back it with any
kind of a guarantee.
In Vinpl we h *ve simply done away
with the useless, system-clogging oil
and have given to the people all the
medicinal, body-building elements of
cod liver oil in a highly concentrat- d
and deliciously pjlat°,ble form, and we
have never sold in our store a medicine
of more curative and strength-creating
value than Vinol, and if the people of
Valdosta only realized its value we
would not have clerks enough in our
store to supply the demand for it. In a
natural manner Vino! tones up the dig
estive organs, makes rich red blood and
creates strength. We nan only ask the
people of Valdosta to try it on our guar
antee.’ ’ A. E. Dimmock, Druggist.
