Bessinger Found Guilty,
r D. Bessinger was tried by the may
or last Thursday on two charges preferred
by the city in connection with
Mr. Bessinger's alleged attack on
T Prof. E. P. Allen. He was found
guilty and sentenced to pay a fine of
$15 for one offence and $50 for the
other, making a total fine of $65.
The city made no case against Mr.
Bessinger in connection with his alleged
improper conduct at the graded
school. .
A large array of lawyers appeared
for Mr. Bessinger. Brown & Bush
and Harlev & Blatt, all of whom are
Barnwell attorneys, were defending
Mr. Bessinger. The trial was held in
the city hall, and quite a crowd wit*
nessed the proceedings.
The greater part of the time was
consumed in clearing up technical
opposition on the part of the defendant's
counsel. The city charter, the
legality of the city council, and the
legal right of the mayor to try cases
were all attacked; in fact, about everything
connected with the city government
was attacked, but no effort
was made to prove Mr. Bessinger innocent.
After the witnesses for the
city had been heard, the defendant's
counsel asked that he be not found
guilty, stating the legal grounds previously
noted, and declined to put up
any witnesses. Mayor Kentz iouna
the defendant guilty, as above stated.
It is understood that the counsel
for Mr. Bessinger contemplate appealing
the case. The remaining charges j
against Mr. Bessinger will be tried
. by the magistrate and by the circuit
court. It is expected that the case
in connection with Mr. Bessinger's
visit to the school house will be tried
this week by Magistrate Dickinson.
Tillman of South Carolina.
Certain pushing, aspiring politicians
in South Carolina are trying to
elbow Benjamin Ryan Tillman out of
his seat in the Senate; and not being
able to allege that they are better j
men than he in any other respect, |
they bring forward the argument!
that they are younger. Tillman, It j
