North Carolina the courtr found itself helpless to proceed in the case against Marion Kims and ('letus Rowell, charged as accoseori^i ?ftcr the fact, in the murder of Charlie Price last November. The court \yas helpleas tercauae of "the aenwaiiortal action of Brady Price, already serving in the penitentiary, who refused to answer questions put to him by the solicitor. Price, who was tried last February and given 24 to 27 yeani in state's prison on second degy^O murder, was brought here last Friday by deputy John Williams who went way down to the .state farm at Caledonia to bring him here. Ho was brought at the request of the solicitor who expected to use him as^he niajp witness against the two men on trial. But when Prke was put on the stand at throe o'clock this afternoon he stubbornly refused to anwwer any questions put by the solicitor 9r replied that he did not know or did not remember. Over and over with question after question, the solicitor , sought to get an affirmative answer ' of some kind, but all attempts failed. He didn't know'' who shot Charlie Price. He didn't remember what he testified at hisj own trial. He didn't know who got the money. He <fidn*t remember whether Rowell and Elms were there when Price was killed or not. His only explanation was that he had decided to say nothing and then there would be no hard feelings and no one could accuse him of lying. Judge Oglosby sat quietly during the attempt of the solicitor to get his witness to answer and said nothing. But when the .solicitor told Price to come down apd a deputy started to take him from tlie room," the Judge interposed and had him seated in court. Then, when the solicitor announced that he could not go on with the case and would have to discharge Elms and Rowell, the Judge took a hand. He said that it was inconceivable that a man convicted of murder urwi brought here to testify should be able to defy the constituted authorities in such a- way. He could not make him answer, he said, because he was already serving a Ion;; term In prison and any further sentence would be usetess. But, said the Judge, he could do one thing and he would do itr He would write to George Ross. Pou, superintendent of the prison and tell how the witness had acted and he felt sure that Mr. Pou would take the proper sitaps. He would also write the governor of the state and ask him to put it on file that this prisoner should never be shown any leniency, never be given any advantage for good behavior or get a shorter sentence for good behavior or^ get a shorter sentence or parole, nor that he should be given any advantages of better grading in the prison. Price seemed undisturbed by this announcement. Elms and Rowell, the latter of whom is a one armed youth, walked out of the court free men and can never be brought to trial again. Sheriff Fowler, who held the theory that Elms and Rowell had been directly-implicated, caused their arrest and they have been out on bond. After Price was convicted they were charged with being accessory in that they had helped him to escape.? Monroe Journal. The .3,000 acre state farm o<f North Carolina ir> Halifax county was flooded Saturday because of a break in I the seven-mile long dyke of the Roanoke river. Another oite of the epidemic of suit* against soft drink makers charging IIruling- of dead thing* in bottles, starting in York county a Couple of years ago, was tried in Spartanburg this week. It was a spider this time. A scientist of Kmory university said spiders did not hurt that drink which, killed germs, and on the witness stand drank a bottle containing a half dozen spiders. Then Owen I), Johnston, the plaintif's lawyer, .put on the stand a native of Africa who chewed up a razor blade and said they would not hurt some people if swallowed, to prove which he did Just that. ft Vivyana, Aerial Trio, at Kershaw County Fair Notice of Assignment or Homestead State of South Carolina County qf Kershaw Notira-is hereby given td all creditors of the estate of John D.
