The case against Mr., II. A. Dick
Mitchell,of this city charged with false
swearing, was heard in the Hickman
Circuit Court, and on Thursday the
jury returned a verdict of guilty, fix
ing his punishment at one one year in
the penitentiary. This verdict was
complete surprise to his friends here.
1t was known that the. prejudice in
that section was very strong against
Mr.. Mitchell, but bis attorney, who
had been attending the case for him,
did not think there was anything Of
moment In it in fact, because he had
other important matters TO engage his
attention here, and did not think il
necessary to go down with Mr.. Mitch
ell to see him through his trial, trust
ing the case in the hands Of a local
attorney. Mr. Mitchell himself treat
ed the matter with contempt, almost,
and does nos seem to have taken any
precautiOn against verdict of guilty.

CONVICTION.

NOTHING IN THE CHARGE

From the newspaper items and
persons who have been at Clinton,
KY, we have gathered that Mr.
r. A. Mitchell has been con-
victed on charge of false swear
ing, and his punishment fixed at
one years Imprisonment. For our
people who have known Dick from
his cradle up, who have loved and
honored him with Office, and who
to-day have not lost confidence in
him, we give the following facts :
The case against Mr.. Mitchell
is prosecution against him under
the above charge in which John
Carter was the principal actor.
The facts in the case are these:
Mr.. Mitchell was made assignee
of the Fulton Bank, which held a
note against Carter of $4,000 for
collection. Mitchell brought suit
against Garter, and not being
ready for trial, made affidavit for a
continuance. Mr.. A. L. Mitchell
had informed him that the note
had been rediscounted to the New
Farmers Bank and that his name,
as cashier of the Fulton Bank, was
on the note as proof of the same.
Before Mr. r. A. Mitchell swore to
affidavit, he told his attorneys that
he had no personal knowledge of
the fact, but had no right to doubt
the statement of Mr.. A. L. Mitch
ell, and they advised him that he
could swear to it according to his
best knowledge and belief, and he
did so; and on his trial Mr.. A. T.
Mitchell and also the attorneys
testified to this, and the only evil
dence against him Mr.. Mitchell
was by person who said he could
find no record on the books of the
Fulton Bank, showing that the note
had been discounted to the New
Farmers Bank, and with this evil
dence the jury brought in the ver-
dict.
With this statement, which we
have from H. Clay Mckee, we fail
to see any felonous intent, and can
account for the verdict only on the
grounds of prejudice. A telegram
from Fulton to the Louisville
Times, of Saturday saying that
Mr.. r. A. Mitchell had testified
recklessly and that the Judge had
warned him to be careful, is only
a sample of the stuff that is going
out. Mr.. Mckee heard Mr.. Mitch
ellis evidence and says there was
nothing to justify any such state
ment, and that the Judge made no
such remark. When we review the
facts and connect them with other
facts, that the people of that sec
ton had lost heavily by the Full
ton Bank, we can come to but one
conclusion; that it was prejudice
that did it.
