The preliminary examination in 1 the case against Levi Garrett, Paul j Lipscomb and rharlie Reynolds by Judge Bridges resulted in all three of the defendants being committed to jail in default of bond for trial at the next term of court. To Sheriff Thom as is due the credit of running the thieves to earth. There is no better officer In the State than Cherokee’s sheriff, and his devotion to duty is so great that nothing would induce him to swerve one jot or tittle therefrom. Levi Garrett tells quite an Inter esting story about the stealing of tne three bales of cotton from Sparks’ gin on the night of Nov. 3rd. He says that he started from home on the morning of the 3rd with two bales of cotton on his wagon which he intend ed to turn over to Col. Jefferies for rent, but on the way to town con ceived the idea of utilizing the staple for his own profit and pleasure. That he sold the cotton In the name of Sam Ratchford, a negro who lives in his neighborhood and had the check drawn payable to Sam’s order. That thereafter he met Paul Lipscomb and Charlie Reynolds, who offered to give him three bales of cotton for the check. As It took just three bales to finish paying his rent he accepted the offer, and that ChaTlie and Paul brought the cotton to Col. Jefferies’ house that night.. Levi then, accord ing to his statement turned the check over to Reynolds who securing a team froqp a livery stable went to Sam Ratchford’s house and brought Sam to the National Bank where Sam endorsed the cheek, Reynolds and Linseomb getting the money. TMs is strenuously denieft by both Reynolds and Lipscomb and it is up to the nowers that be to sift the wheat from the chaff and determine who is guil ty in the premises. More Cotton This Year.
