A short ' time ago - a can , containing a roll of greenbacks was found burled under a stump on the (arm of Hani Johnson, near Mayfield. a small town 25 miles southwest or this city. The monty was la such a brittle state that the finders could not estimate the value, but from the bulk of the roll it Is certain that it will aggregate several thousand dol lars. - It was sent to the treasury at Washington for appraisal and redemp tions The money was buried by a man named Ransom Ball, who was killed at MayfieldV July 7, 1801, 17 years ago. Ball was killed by the falling of a tree. It was supposed that he was In afflu ent circumstances and that he had his money burled somewhere on his place, but after his death a most exhaustive search of his premises failed to bring to light any of his treasure, and the nun: was given up years ugo. ' After Ball's sitter, his only heir, ar- ivA frnm tha AlH fnilnlrv and mflvpd onto the place the hunt for theburled money was again resumed, but with no results, and Anally the place was sold to a man named Hans Johnson.

As soon as the robber left, one of the men wno naa Deen seated at the card table jumped up and ran into the back room and hid hia money behind the woodpile. " Get Good Description. . An accurate description has been ob tained of the robber, both -from Lutke meler and Urll. . They agree that he la a man weighing about 165 pounds, dressed In a dark blue suit, with a soft hat. The mssk he wore was a blue polka dot handkerchief knotted around bis neck and pulled up over the bridge of his nose. He attempted to pull this off as he backed out or "the Gia nduia saloon: and Lawrence Urll obtained a good view of his features. He says ne can easily recognize him If he sees him again. l he mnn wore a mustache. His gun was dark In color, and probably a 38-eallbre.

Hedderly and Richard Hynes, found guilty on a charge of having formed a conspiracy to defraud the gov ernment out of timber lands, for a new trial were denied by Judge Wolverton In the United States district court this morning. Motions for the arrest of Judgment were filed Immediately by Marcus C. McLemore - of Los Angelea, attorney for the defendants, while-rsf-arenpe could be cited the court on cer tain technicalities in the case. This argument ia being heard by Judge Wol verton ima arternoon. The court held that the aorrespond- ence lntroduoed by the government alone had been enough to convict Smith, even ir tne jurors naa neara no oiner pari of the testimony. These were letters which had passed between Smith, Wil liam T. Kerr, who pleaded guilty, and Richard D. Jones, one of those who waa Indicted and who died soon' after hla Indictment. From the evidence, with reference to Hedderly. the court held that he, too, was familiar with the workings of the conspiracy and that the vefdict of the jury had been Just. Judge Wolverton did not think the new -evidence which counsel claimed .for Hynea waa suffi cient and another hearing of tne case was also denied. j -T After the motions had been overruled counsel for the defense filed a petition asking for arrest of judgment Mr. McLemore stated to the court that In the first place the Jury In the case had not been drawn in the regular way as provided by the statutes. He as serted' further that the case had ex tended beyond the limitations of tho time of the November term of the dis trict court and on this account he wished to submit additional argument Owing to the arrest of judgment asked for by the defense, the time of sentence of Smith. Hynes and Hedderly will go over until a later date. Kerr. Krank A. Stewart, John R. Miller and Ames S. Johnston, all of whom pleaded Sullty, having been indicted with Smith, ermiah Huntley, Lee R.
