Wheu we went to press last I Wednesday the court was eDgaged I in the trial of W. M Hartley, of ! Monetta, under the charge of assault and battery with inteut to kill. Solicitor Timmerman was assisted by J Wm. Thurmond, Efird <fc Dreher and EL Asbill. For the defense? i G. T. Graham, P. H. Nelson, W. H Sharpe, A. D MartiD. The trial lasted two days and every conceivable point was closely contested. The jury reduced the crime by a verdict of assault and battery of a high aDd aggravated nature. When Judge Izlar catlpd up the defendant for sentence, Messrs Kelson and Sharpe addressed the Judge asking for a small money fine, as Mr Hartley was a poor maD. Mr. Thurmond aDd the Solicitor opposed the request. The sentence of the court was five years in the penitentiary or $200 Mr. Hartley promptly paid the fine and thus the matter ended. G?orge JBotand was up for housebreaking and larceny and upon his plea of guilty only received six months. He broke in the smoke house of George V. Kieckley and stole some meat. , Following came the trial of Roland j Lowman charged with the murder of ] Henry Eirie Harraan, both being _ t ill .i 10 *,T_ A | tiuuuu <ue age oi ^earM. itir. ti. j D Martin assisted the Solicitor and j Messrs. Efi'd & Dreher and Wingard & Shealy represented tbe defendant L'be plea was accidental killing and the jury so decided by their verdict of cot guilty. The case of the State against Douglas Sightler and Wigfall Sigbtler, charged with the murder of Carl Lucas at Gaston in November last, came up Friday. Mr. Sbarpe appeared for the defendants. The younger boy, Wigfall. being under the age of six years, tbe case, as to bim, was nol prossed The other bey is going on eight years old and the deceased was nine, and all, were school boys at the Sandy Run school, beiDg taught by Miss Dora Craft. Tbe verdict was not guilty. Arthur White, colored, came up on the charge of assault and attempt to rape Estelle Reynolds, colored, was convicted and sentenced to six months on the gang. Levi Hill, colored, of Atlanta, Ga , and who eenfc from there to his son in jail here, some saws and files with which to escape, was convicted of aiding the escape of a prisoner and given one year. Tbe court aojourned UDtil Monday with one prisoner in j ul, although there was plenty time on Saturday morning to try tbe case. The Solicitor announced that the attorney for the defendant was away and that he would try tbe case early Monday morning. When Monday morning came Mr. Siurkie appeared for tbe negro and objected to tbe trial, because the criminal court could not exist more ttian one week. Judge Izlar held that he was correct and continued the case. Since then the defendant has been bailed by Judge Bradford and ones more tbe j til is empty. There was considerable work before the criminal court and it appears that about half of this is carriedover to next term, which under the new law, does not meet until the second Monday in August, now six months cff AtnoDg the cases cirried over are two for murder; two for bastard}; thi e for assault and battery with intent to kill: two for carrying concealed weapons and two appeals. !
