The young horse thief, David Wend.
sell. i still confined IN the county Jail.
1t Will be remembered that at the last
term Of Wayne Superior Court he was
convicted oil stealing a horse from Mr..
Thomas Nlnson, and sentenced TO 20
years III the penitcntiary, but previous
TO the adjournment of the court, o
representations made by Solicitor Nonp
gomery, and in a petition signed by a
large number of citizens of Cabarrus
county, where the lad was raised and
IS sad 10 be respectfully connected,
Judge Mchoy agreed to suspend the
sentence of the court upon payment Of
costs and that the prisoner enter n a
bond of 500 for his good behavior.
The petitioners state that the young
man Is Of weak mind and there Is also
evidence that he was urged to the
theft by other parties. We learn that
since the al adjournment OF court the
necessary bond has been received from
Cabarrus. also the money for the pay
ment Of the costs, but there is new
trouble for w, ndsell, IN the shape Of
a warrant against him charging him
with stealing the bride by which he
led the horse when captured, and III.
release from jail is thus delayed -N.s'
