Fonville, . alleged accomplice of Franc H. Jones in defaulting the Charlotte National Bank, was called in the United States court at Greensboro, N. C., Friday afternoon at 3 o'clock. Quite a uumber of witnesses were put up by the prosecution to prove that ' Fonville was implicated with Jones in the robbery, among the number being Jones himself, while Fonville offered only a few witnesses who testified principally as to his character. The 1 evidence of both the prosecution and defence was all in at noon ( Monday and arguments of counsel was begun at the convening , of court in the afternoon. It could not be stated when argu- i ments would be concluded but it was expected Monday that a jury ve/dict would be rendered ! yesterday afternoon or early this morning. Among the witnesses in attendance were the following from Fort Mill: W. B. Ardrey, ] C. H. Branson, J. C. Walker, 1 (now of Chester) W. B. Meacham, B. H. Massey. The trial of Fonville is of much interest to the people of Fort Mill, and especially to those who knew him. Fonville conducted a cotton exchange, or bucket-shop, here the past spring, acting as agent of Randolph & Co., of Philadelphia, and it was while thus engaged that the alleged transactions between himself and Jones took place. During his residence here of several months Fonville became acquainted with a majority of our people and was liked by all who knew him. He was the type of man to gain friends hurriedly and to hold them, and by his courteous manners and generous nature he won the respect and confidence of everyone with whom he had dealings. rONVILJ.E ACQUITTED Yesterday's daily papers announced that Fonville had been acquitted of all the charges preferred against him. Glad the Carnival is Gone. Says the Rock Hill Record: "The people of Rock Hill have many things to be thankful for today?not the least of which is that the carnival company has Eulledup stakes and faded away. et us hope that our city will not soon again be afflicted with this kind of aggregation." Here's another thank that the shows did not head this way. It is our opinion and hope that Fort Mill was completely disgusted with these traveling moneygrabbers some years ago.
