Judge Memminger Comments on Per jury-Wants Exemptions From Jury Service Removed. Tl esonls court, Ju1d'_e Memn mner1 pre.iding. has di-!posed f a nider(lel amlolnt of bulsines- t 1S w 1. and <0me inpres.iDll has heell made on the heavy docket, leaving, however, many cases yet io be dispos ed of. The remainder of this week cnd next well be required to dipUse of the business. On Tuesday morning, in his re marks to the grand jury, Judge Mem m1inger called attention to the evil of perjury, which is becoming so preval ent in the courts throughout the State. and asked the grand jury to look out for any cases where it was patent that the witnesses were per juring themselves, and to bring in indictments against those swearing falsely-not particularly at this tern of court, but at any term of court. He spoke of the new court house, complimenting the building very high ly. and urging that it be kept clean. Another matter to which Judge Memminger called especial attention was the great number of exemptions from jury service, and he urged the grand jury to use its influence with the members of the general assembly from this county to prevent furtheL exemptions from jury service. He would like to see some member of the general assembly so bold as to intro duce a bill 'to wipe out all exemp tions, leaving it to the discretion ot the presiding judge to excuse those who, for personal reasons, ought to be excused, or-whose service to the pub lie demanded that they'be excused. Edmund Boyd, colored, was eonvict ed of breach of trust with fraudulent intent, and was sentenced to serve three years. Boyd was not represent ed by counsel. It appeared that the members of Mt. Olive colored church, through the efforts of Magistrate W. C. Sligh. has collected $36 from cer tain parties who had been guilty of offences on the church grounds, the parties paying the money to Magis trate Sligh in order to prevent prose cutions 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 or the church were afraid to take steps against the offenders, and had told him that if he would do so he could have what he got out of it. Will Young, colored, charged with assault with intent to kill, the of fence alleged being the drawing of a pistol on a n.ero, Oordon Hodges, at Maybinton, was acquitted. He was defended by Mr. P. D. BarrQn, .> Union. Bob Johnson, colored, was convict ed of manslaughter, with recommen dation to mercy, and carrying con eealed weapons. He was charged with murder in the killing of Henry Robinson, colored, on Mr. Alan John stone's place, on March 1 of this year. The testimony was to the effect that a number of negroes were gamb ling on the Sunday when the shooting occurred, and that after the game Bob was beating with a stick on a niekel on the ground daring anyvbody to pick it up, when Henry Robinson picked it up and Bob snapped his ui)stol at the ground where the nicket was, wvhereupon Henry shot at Bob, and the difficulty- ensued in .which Henry received his mortal wound. The witnesses said when Bob was beating on the nickel which lay on- the ground he wvas ''funning.'' and that Henry was the first to get mad, when he shot et Bob. Several shots were fir ed. The jury remained out Tuesday afternoon, Tuesday night, and until Wednesday afternoon. The defend ant was represented by Mr. E. S. Blease, who gave notice of a motion for new trial. L. J. Williams, alias Walker Daw kins, dolored. was convicted of utter ing a forged instrument and sentene edl to seven years service. He was not represented by counsel, and con duected his own case, cross examining the witnesses and making a speech to the .jur.y. Williams was arrested in Florida by Sheriff Buford, through whose efforts he had been located. The offence with which he was charged .was sending a check to the National Bank of Newberry, signea R. P. Cromer, for $'70. The check was written on tablet paper, and it was requested that the money be sent to Deland, Fla. About a week before receiving this check the bank had re eived a check in similar handwriting signed D. P. Werty' asking that the money be sent to Late Helen, which is about seven miles from Deland. Mr. Werts did not have an account with the bank, and while the bank officials regarded the paper as a fThrgery ver.y little attention was paid to it, no harm having resulted. Whzen the cheek signed( R. P. Oromer was re ed in the hands of Sheriff Bufora, who at once went to work on the case. Sheriff Buford instructed the bank I to send a registered letter addressea to R. P. Cromer, at )eland. and lie ')ut the post O,ive atlhorities at Dc 1d unti(-e to) o k t t l (er o w :! 1. d lalle d 5 lrtet .Ier. i -V eryI pre:mlti DII Wals I ik enI. :11t(i tlruglieril, iuford '.. olforts wil-; liams was arrested and he wa V brought to Newberry by Slieriff Bu- V ford. It was evident that the offender was some oie who had lived in NewberrN, Mr. R. P. Cromer and Mr. D. P. Werts both being Newberry men, the sendet 5 of the bogus checks evidently know- t ing these gentlemen. When Sheriff Buford was bringing Williams to e South Carolina. he would not give his name. saying he would let the law settle that. When Sheriff Buford reached Columbia with him, how- ' ever, Williams was identified as Wal- I ker Dawkins, who formerly lived in f Newberry county, and who was sent 0 to the penitentiary from Newberry. Williams was placed on trial charg ed with uttering a forged instrument. One of the principal witnesses againsti him was Miss Marion Colter, greneral d delivery clerk of the Deland post of- c fice. who testified that she was posi tive the defendant was the man who y called for the registered letter ad- e dressed to R. P. Cromer. Frank Kelly. colored, was acquitted f of the charge of attempt to commit Q arson, the offense alleged against him ( being the effort to set fire to the house f of a negro woman on Mr. Caleb D. e Buzhardt's place. Kelly was repres- t ented by Messrs. Blease & Dominick. e Lee Dominick, a little negro aged t fifteen years. pleaded guilty to a charge of larceny. and one of house breaking and larceny. one offence be ing the stealing of a watch from Pink f Wicker, at Prosperity, and the other i >f entering the residence and stealing ( rings from Mrs. Fannie Schumpert. at o Prosperity. and was sentenced to five u vears in the State reformatory. a John Lindsay. :-ored. pleaded li uilty to violation of the dispensary a law, and was sentenced to pay a fine >f $150 or serve six months. He had e already been in jail four months. i Joe Henly, Jr., colored, pleaded ) Yuilty to bre'aking into the -store of J R. C. Williams & Sons'and stealing I tratches therefrom. and was sentene- t ed to serve eighteen months. I Jim Reeder, colored, was placed on~ I trial Wednesday afternoon. charged I wvith mur'der, it being alleged that at I E't. Zion church, near Silver Street, 3 be cut his brother-in-law Rob Daven port. Dav'enport having died in 'a rospital in Columbia from the effects 4f the wound inflicted. The defend- 3 int denied that he did the cutting. He li svas represented by Messrs. Blease & 0 Dominick. The case'was given to the i: jury yesterday morning. The jury returned a verdict of guil- o by of manslaughter. 1 'Arthur Byrd, a little negro, was e placed on trial yesterday morning e charged with murder in the killing bt >f Willie Ruff, also colored, in July n >f this year. The testimony showed that Ruff and some other negroes ivere out hunting and had stopped at a peach tree to eat peaches, when s Arthur came up, and said it looked J "like all you negroes are mad at r rne.'' Will Ruff told him nobody was b mad with him, whereupon with an3 ath Byrd picked up =gun which one of the negroes had set beside the tree a and shot Will Ruff in the head as Ruf '1 was reaching for a peach. Mr. E. S. p Blease, representing the defendant, admitted that guilt attached to the v dlefendant 's aet, but pleaded for r mercv for the defendant on account v of his age, asking that he be sent to 6 the reformatory under a verdict of a manslaughter. The State's conten- e tion was that Arthur was above 14 ni years of age, the age above which f persons are presumed to know right from wrong. Mr. Blease contended I that there was serious doubt as to whether he was 14, throwing the bur d.en upon the State to prove beyond a all reasonable doubt that he was cap- d able of committing crime. He plead- t ed for a verdiet of manslaughter. The I jury returned a verdict of guilty of t manslaughter. The case of the State vs. Perry t Lindsay, colored, charged with mur-t der. was taken up shortly before the dinner recess. Mr. Geo. G. Sale, by e appointment of the court, represent- e ing the defendant. The testimony ~ of the State was that at Little Rivei I colored church in June Perry Lind- a say, while shooting at Chris Crump,! r shot and killed the 5-months-old I baby of Henry Farrow, who was e standing nearby with his baby in his arms fanning it. The State's wit- i nesses testitfied that at. the time ('rump was shot he was going to w:rds Lindsay wvaving his hands. in which they say he had nothing. telling Lindsay he wanted to talk to himt. The defence is that Lindsay was shooting at Crump in self-defence, when the baby was accidntally shot.
