Court</STRONG></DIV>
<DIV align=left> Roanoke times: Despite the fact that
the Norfolk & Western has taken special pains to warn people against
shipping high explosives in violation of the law, cases arise now and then in
which persons fail to pay attention to rules governing the matter. In
seven different languages instructions concerning explosives have been published
in public places. Not long ago Joe Martin, a miner, was arrested, charged
with sending in his baggage from West Virginia to Virginia a large quantity of
dynamite, sufficient to have blown the train into smithereens had it been
subjected to any shocks. Martin's trial is to take place in the federal
court in West Virginia. He shipped the explosives from Maybeury, W. Va.,
to Boissevain, Va., and the fact that it passed from one state to another brings
the matter within the jurisdiction of a federal tribunal.</DIV>
