Going To See Mother

Judge Speer Allows a Defendant to Visit His Dying Parent.

The case of the United States against John J. Ennis charged with working
in an illicit distillery in Pike County came before Commissioner Erwin
in Macon on Monday morning; he was bound over to the circuit court. He
was brought before Judge Speer after the preliminary examination was
held and pleaded guilty to the charge.

He informed the court that his mother was quite ill at her home in Pike
county and not expected to live.

The judge directed that he be allowed to give bond in the sum of $100
for his appearance at the October term and gave the prisoner permission
to go home to his mother.
