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.
