He Defended Himself at TriaL-Xis appropriated Church Funds.-"Up* at a Little Board Meeting." The Columbia correspondent'.of the News and Courier under date May 3, sent the following, showing that. Gov ernor Ansel has granted a pardon to a Newberry negro: "Edmund Boyd, of Newberry, serv ing three years, from November, 1908, for breach of trust, had his sentence commuted to June 1, 1910. Boyd's case was rather unique. He was charged with making off with the funds of his church, about $36. He1 conducted his own defence and asked the, witnesses questions. "They had him up at a little board meeting," said one of the witnesses, "like black people would do." In an issue of The Herald and News in 1908, giving an account of the criminal court for Noveiber, the fol lowing account is of the trial of Ed miund Boyd: Edmund Boyd, colored, was convict ed of breach of trust with fraudule.t intent, and was sentenced to serve three years. 'Boyd was not represent ed by counsel. It appears that the members of Mt. Olive colored church, through an effort of Magistrate Sligh,' had collected $36.00 from certain par ties who had been guilty of offences on -the church grounds, the parties paying money to Magistrate Sligh in order to prevent prosecution against them. Boyd, it was testified, secured this money from Magistrate Sligh for the church, and proceeded to spend it. Boyd claimed that the members of the church 'were afraid to take steps against the offender, and had told him that if he would do so he could have what he got out of it. Dr. Cook to Preach. IRev.
