This Week* Th^^SI^of Franc H. Jones charged with Embezzlement of 573,500 of funds from the Charotte National lBank, and of ?ercy G. Fonvillc, charged with conspiracy with Jones in alleged crime, are expected to be held ;his week during the term of the Federal Court which convenes in ;he government building tonorrow. For many weeks the public mind has been upon these learings, and interwoven with it ill has been an air of expectancy ind speculation as to what would je the final outcome. There will ?e some surprises sprung when he cases are. called. 1 next; nave ueen . uixiurs sprung ending the people -o believe that lones would submr. the offense vith which he is charged and vould ask the mercy of the court n the sentence. T1 is impression s strong to-day in the minds of lersons more or less closely, col lected with the case. There is i sort of resistless indercurrent >f opinion that a sibmission is he only natural and logical :ourse for Jones to pursue. There are some complications n connection with tnose sensaional cases which ths public has lot yet apprehended and whicfh he authorities for seme purpose lave been holding back. "If ;hey make those fellows tell all ;hey know about this matter, ;he people of Charlotte will be startled as never before by the evelations that will l?e made," s in substance what niany have leard from attorneys ind others vhose position enables ihem to ?et some of the inside workings >f this complicated crine}. The story of the proposed litigation between the Charlotte National Bank and the firm of /. P. Randolph & Company, of j Philadelphia,'for whom Fonville icted as agent in this section, ;hrown to the public through the lewspapers of the city just *t ;hat critical time when speculaion was at its highest added (till more to the mysterious case. If thio case matures, vill the )ank depend on Jones as a ma;erial witness and Randolph & Company depend on Fonville as eading defense, and thereby *orce the two men, alleged to lave worked in harmony in the ooting, come straight out and estify against each other, this vas the question which is going ;he rounds. The card which President B. 3. Heath published in The News ecently indicated that his bank vould not be a party to such a course and that no mercy vould >e asked through the institution ?or Jones. Some are sayinp that ;he submission of Jones will accomplish practically the san e reiult and such a action wouli be che safest, surest and shortest vay to meet the ends of justice md settle the whole matter. It cannot be stated accurately fet what day these important crials will come off. District Attorney Holton, when he was n the city a few days ago, stated chat Fonville would likely be cried Thursday. It is sure that Jones will be tried first. It is lot at all improbable, therefore, ;hat his case will come up tcnorrow soon after the convening )f court or not later than We<ilesday morning. Jones is represented by M~. Crawford D. Bennett and Fonyille by Tillett and Guthrie, Stewart and McRae and Congressmen Wylie, of Alabama, fhe government will be represented by District Attorney A. E. Holton, of Winston, and Assistant District Attorney A. L Eoble, of Statesville. Judge lames E. Boyd will preside. Mr. Fonville, was released on iai'1 several weeks ago, is here with his father. M?\ Jones has ieen at his home in this city since he was given his liberty not many weeks age. Both are jnderstood to be anxious for the trial to be held. Mr. Bennett said today that he could not say as yet whether Mr. Jones would submit or not. Mr. Bennett said he was ready with his case and would not ask a continuance. President Heath, of the Charlotte National, said that Jones had not made any restitution whatever. A. A. Young, the blacksmith, will repair your vehicles and farm implements at a reasonable price. ?
