the arraignment of the two murderous
highwaymen who held up and nearly
killed old Patrick Joyce Saturday
night. the court room was packed with
| spectators. The two robbers were
brought in and County Attorney Wines
asked leave of the court to file an in
formation against them. He stated
that he had not given the men a pre-
liminary examination because the evil
dence against them was unusually
strong and conclusive. Leave to file
the information was granted and on
being arraigned the tall robber gave
his name as Frank White and the
short one as George Howard. The lat
ter hung his head and nervously
played with his hat and never once
during the arraignment raised his eyes
from the floor. White cast an occa-
sional glance over the crowded court
room and looked as If he might believe
the reports taken to him on Saturday
night, that a mob had been formed to
lynch them. Both men said they had
no means with which to employ an at
torney and the court appointed Dan
Yancey to represent them. Mr.. Yancey
asked until Thursday to plead but Mr..
Wines opposed 1t and said they should
not be granted more than the statutory
