The first "witness", Felix Finley,< I a farmer and blacksmith, identified the tires returned by Pitts as those taken from the automobile belong ing to his (Finley's) brother. Pitts claimed he didn't know the tires had been stolen. He testified that he and Lanford had gone out to get intoxicated and that Lanford borrowed his car and returned with two tires which were left in the car after the party. The second "witness", a finger print expert from the state highway department, identified the finger prints found on the front of the car belonging to Finley's brother as those of Lanford. Miss Patty Breeden, a school teacher and the third "witness", tes tified she saw Lanford borrow the tires which he was later seen with from a filling station operator. By a slip of the tongue, Attorney Nicholson asked Miss Breeden if she saw the defendant Lanford strip. Other laughs were provoked wvhen Miss Breeden referred to her long association in YWCA activi ties. Also when lawyer Nicholson referred to his long service. Finley was grieved over Lanford's having "done him wrong"in connection with a bird dog. His continued reference to the dog caused Judge M. S. Whaley to threaten to hold him in contempt of court. The testimony was ruled irrelevant. The jury brought a verdict of guilty for Lanford and not guilty for Pitts. The jurors were: K. W. Sallen ger, C. E. Coleman, Francis Marion, J. B. Clements, C. C. Grimes and J. R. West.

The meeting had as its purpose to acquaint students all over the state with the Caroliniana material col lected at the library for that collec tion on the University campus, and to interest them in helping to pre serve Caroliniana in their respective localities. The visiting delegates were taken on a tour through the Caroliniana library by Dr. R. L. Meriwether, head of the University history de partnient, and were shown the dif ferent methods used in the library to preserve the old papers and books. After supper, which was served Tuesday night in the library, there was open discussion about the part * college students could play in build ing up the Caroliniana collection within the state. The majority of the delegates expressed the desire of establishing branch committees on their campuses to work in con junction with the university junior Caroliniana society, but no definite action was taken. Methods were discussed by which all the materials could be gathered in a central locality so as to aid scholars, and it was the consensus that, as few colleges would like to relinquish their valuable paper, a method of photostat copy might be 4, a solution. It was decided that further action would be taken to ward beginning the branch societies, and collecting Caroliniana when the delegates had returned to their cam puses, by correspondence.
