re* This being the lirst term of court
$. for the year, Ills Honor made a for- i
mal charge to the grand jury for
Kglp" information and instruction.!
' His charge was lengthy and exhausIfS'
tite, going over the duties of the
? grand jurors, collectively and indi?
Tidtiallv, in minute detail, advising
, and admonishing them with regard
By v\ to the sat. redness of their duty, cor'*'i>
, criug a period of about half an hour. }
y Judge Klugh is regarded as one of I
, the most scholarly Judges on the
Sv , bench of oor State and his charges
p were delivered in language chaste
? aad elegent, without losing strength
? r in expression. ^
At this term of court the three
I cases that ^xcited greatest interest
were the two in which the defendants
were charged respectively with
murder ;*nd rape, and the case of 1)
E Motley, charged with breach of
. trust with fraudulent -iuteut. The
grand jurr returned true bills in
all three of these cases and all were
tig disposed of at this term.
The case of Motley, which wasj
called Monday afternoon, was cf

circumstances attending it have been

are fresh in the public mind. Young
Motley was assistant cashier of the
liauk of Lake City aid in January,
1909, he left Lake City ostensibly to
visit his parents in Danville, Va.
Time passed and hi failed to return,
and an examination if his accounts
at the bank showed a shortage?
then the reason of kit disappearance
became manifest. \
An expert was called in,the book*
checked up ai/d it was alleged by
tht bank ollickils that the missing
employee was responsible for a shortage
o? neaily $10,000 ot the bank's
money.
Last fall, Motley was captured
near Camden, X J, apd brought
back here to jairl. A* facts arc
so fresh before ?iw Jiwidtrs that; it is
needless to go into details.
It may be said that during Motley's
sojourn in Lake City he bore an
irreproachable character, and was
about as popular as any young man
in the town. His friends,while they
deplored the crime he tfas charged
with, pitied the young man, who is
only twenty-four years old and of a
very frail physique. The money that
he spent, it is said, went largely in
expensive gifts to those whom he
liked and these friends no doubt felt
bound to stand by him in hi3 trouble.
These extenuating circumstances,together
with the willingness
of the prosecuting officer and the
stockholders of the bank?who had
suffered most by his defalcation?"tc
temper justice with mercy," account
for the surprisingly light sentence
imposed upon Motley.
