CROSS AND WHITE.
That Long Litigation Regarding tho
Raleigh Wrecked Bank.
Especial telegram to tbs Dispatch


RALEGH, n. O., February 15.-This after
noon in the State Supreme Court the At
torney- General made a motion to have
Judgment against Charles Il. Cross and
Samuel G. White entered in conformity
with the mandate of the United States
Supreme Court This mandate confirms
the decision of the State Supreme Court,
the latter court having affirmed the SEN
tence of the Superior Court that Cross,
president of the wrecked State National
Bank of Raleigh, and White, its cashier,
be put at hard labor on the public roads
for five and seven years respectively, they
having been convicted of forgery.
Walter II. Henry. counsel for Cross and
White. made a motion for further arrest Of
judgment, alleging that that there was @
fatal defect in the record, and that the
Court had such power even at this late day.
His point was that the defendants were
convicted upon two counts, one charging
them with forgery. the other with uttering
forged paper, and upon these there was a
general verdict Of guilty. He commended
that when an indictment charges two dis
tinct offences in separate counts and the
grade and punishment of these offences
are different in degree and general a ver-
diet of guilty cannot stand. He further
contended that there is no statute in
North Carolina denouncing the utterng of
forged promissory note. The Attorney
General in reply alleged that this conten-
ton was groundless, and that the jury had
rendered verdict In each count. The
Court took the papers. Its ruling Is await
ed with much interest, as this is very
noted case.
