G,oucester Countv Cour,s,

The trial of Curtis Z,nes, a we'll known
char cter of Swedt sboro, for keeping a
disorderly bouse, drew large crowd of
citizens to the courthouse at Woodbury.
on Tuesday morning. At the opening of
the case the defendant, on the advice of
counsel, retracted his plea of not guilty
and entered plea of non vult eontendre
on the count of gaming. A large array
of witnesses were called, many of them
being boys of tender years, whose testi-
mOny was adduced to determine the ex-
tent of the guilt of the defendant. Several
of the boys created levity among the
spectators by their description OF the
game of penny ante, which seemed TO DC
contagious auo ong the youths of that
town.
Judge Clymer, in passing sentence said !:
There seems to be an epidemic OF
poker playing in SwedesborO, aud the
serious aspect of the case is that the de-
fendant has allowe children to engage in
gaming at his place of business. These
vices are a menace to the community, but
there are circumstances of a mitigating
character in connection with the case
which will not warrant the imposing of
too severe a sentence. 1t is, therefore, the
sentence of the law and Court that the
defendant pay fine of $10O and costs. "
Ella Jackson, 13 yearold domestic,
pleaded guilty to the charge of larceny,
and papers were made out transferring
the girl to the State Industrial School.
VIM. H. Simpkins, a young farm hand
pleaded guilty to charge of grand lar
ceny. Sentence was suspended because
of the previous good character OF the
prisoner and from the fact that he made
all restitution possible for his crime.
Ira L. Davis stood trial on charge OF
breaking aud entering the farm house OF
Frank L. Norton with intent to steal. The
circumstances of the case are peculiar.
Seven years ago Davis was in the en-
ploy of Norton aud left for the West. ou
his return few months ago, broken
down in health, he sought out the home
of bis former employer and secreted him.
self in the house, beneath bed. He " as
discovered during the night, however,
and was recognized by Mr.. Norton, who
suspected evil intent and consequently
ordered his arrest. Davis, on the witness
stand, related story of hardship and
suffering aud streuuously denied the al
legation Of the plaintiff His defence was
that be entered the house to protect his
health, With no intensiop of committing
theft. The jury returned verdict OF
guilty, and Davis was sentenced to i'm
prisonment at hard labor for term OF
two years and six months.
