A SMART DARBY.
LEM CARTER-THE CLOSING OF
HIS UNsAvSkY CAREER.
sketch of One OF the Most Notorious
scOundreIs I'm This Section
of Country.

Among the unsavory citizens who
occupied the prisoners bench at the
Criminal Court yesterday was Lem Car
ter, whose Bame appears oftener, per-
hsps, than any other upon the dockets
of the police, magistrates and Criminal
Courts. His glory is now on the wsne,
but he was once a shining light in the
galaxy Of colored crooks and has q
reputAt alton which entities him TO more
than passing notice. Lem came to
Memphis shortly after the war closed,
at a time when $40 or $40 head was
gladly paid for hands who would con-
tract for work ON the depopulated
plantations. Lem had more brains
than principle, and for years he I'M
mercifully fleeced the overseeTs who
came to Memphis in search of labor.
His facility for securing hands was
remarkable. He delivered whole train
loads at time at the depot, receive
his per capita, and as soon rs the
money was paid hied MIN away to a
rendezvous and awaited the return
OF his hands, who as a rule sprang
from the train at the first station,
walked back to town, met him and got
their share of the sway, hiring next
day in the same way TO some other
unsuspccting granger. II Carter was
arrested, as often happened, he had a
patent defense. He never guaranteed
the staying quality Of the labor be
furnished. Another Of Carriers
schemes was to pretend that he knew
of a number OF families in the Caro-
linas or elsewhere who we're anxious
to move to this section, obtain tickets
for them, and deliver the goods upon
arrival to some one else who would
pay him the cost of transportation.
He finally became 30 cd GUS as a
labor agent that he was obliged to
abandon it, and employed his talents
then as the agent for sewing ma
chimes, swindling hundreds of hard
working coored women. His last
scheme was that of missionary, and
the charge against him yesterday was
vagrancy. That he was the king bee
OF all vagiants, there was no doubt
in the minds OF Judge or jury, but he
was 30 utterly filthy in person that
the court wisely concluded not to con-
taminate the Jail with him, and al
lowed him to go on his promise ID
leave the city. : -

In the Criminal Court yesterday
Motion in arrest OF judgment was
made which raises q very nice ques-
ton for the second time in the history
of that court. Not long since diff
Guilty occurred out on the Pigeon
Ro ost read between Wiley, aud his
son Felix, Lang and Prince Epps, all
colored. The proof showed that
Epps was fighting or about to
fight with Wiley Lang, when
his son interfered and gave him
a fatal stab with knife.
Father and son were both indicted for
murder, and, while Felix was convict
ed, the old man was found guilty sim
ply of assault and battery, and fined
$3.50. His attorney yesterday moved
to arrest the judgment Of the count
upon the ground that the offense OF
as ault and battery in an indictment
for murder was as much a part OF II,
and merged in it, as the offense OF
trespass is merged in that Of larceny,
and that to be found not guilty Of one
is tantmount to an acquittal Of the
other. Judge Douglass overruled the
motion and sentenced Lang to the
Work House to serve out the fine.
The case will go to the Supreme
Court, where the question will
be finally set at rest. The only other
case of the kind was that of Cole, who
was found not guilty OF the murder of
Beach and fined $55 for assault snd
battery. The prosecution in that case,
however, was never. carried to the Su-
nreme COurt.
