at this term OF this Court for trial

judge Graha dcsir,l to hear Corn
sol FOR defendant first, Mr.. Chanbcrai
requested this. Solicitor Buttz objected,
His Honor had already signed similar
order, uron Which bench warrant WAS
issued. at the request of Moses he
was allowed to give bail before the
Clerk Of the Court of Richland, County
Moses had not done thi,, and even re-
sisted an arrest by tho Sheriff by calling
out the Militia to ,rotect him. Tn @
defendant has no rights in Court until
ne obeys the order issued from it. His
Counsel had pledged that he would be
here for trial, upon whch he h III acted
and presumed the Court had also. He
is not in Court, sets ut defiance its
authority, and yet asks to be heard by
Counsel. Should he not ba arrested,
lie may abscond before the next term
His Honor was bound to protect the
dignity Of his Office, and show the do
iendant that he must not defy the law.
Judge Graham remarked that he
would have to let the law take its course,
and inasmuch as Noses had faid to
appear, that bench warrant would
Issue under the general ordar at the close
Of the term, and cause his appear
ancc at the next term Of Court.
