CHARGED With Burglary.

Sheriff Pape last Saturday received the
following letter announcing the arrest
for burglary of five Crawford County
citizens. No one was surprised at the
Furies and Robinson being caught in
such a scrape, but that young SHIRLEY
and Miller should be mixed up in the
affair was quite surprise to our people.
1t is hoped the two boys will be able to
prove themselves innocent of any wrong
doing. The Furies and Robinson left
here short time before the meeting of
the last circuit court, presumably to
escape punishment for gambling. Short
ly before they left a trunk containing
about 5000 in money and some $40 in
stamps was stolen from the store of L,
S. Appleby at SHIRLEY switch and later
was found rifled of its contents. The
stamps found in the outfit seized by the
Missouri officers are supposed to be the
ones stolen from the trunk.
Young SHIRLEY intended going only as
far as the zinc mines with them, hoping
to find employment, but no doubt met
with disappointment. Miller joined
the party at Sloan Springs to which
place he had travelled with Sid Wright.
There the Furies got into some trouble
but with Mr.. Wright assistance came
out all right. Relatives of SHIRLEY and
Miller have interested themselves in
in their cases and they will be given a
chance to prove their innocense.
This is the letter:

INVESTIGATION or THE JUDGES.

The investigation of the charges
against Judges Sweat and Reese came
to a close Monday. sand while
the committee has not yet formulated
and made public its report it is not
probable that it will recommend the
impeachment of either of the men who
have had the legislative X ray turned
on their conduct.
While no official misconduct was
clearly proved against either, it estab
lished the fact that both of the accus-
ed had acted in a manner that did
not become them as men or the
high office they hold. There is strong
evidence that Judge Reese was "under
the weather" at Darielsville, where he
delivered rather unusual charge and
promised with the help of God and the
bailitfs of the court to do the people
there good; also that he said damn"
and "hell" in the dining room of the
hotel where ladies were serving the ia
BILE, and on an other occasion stopped
a fight in the court room between two
lawyers by threatening. "to.whip hell
out of both of them" But the evil
dence throughout was that he conduct
ed the business of the circuit in an .ad-
mirable manner, so that his social hab-
its and his unusual way of stopping hos
tilities between beligerent attor-
neYs did not interfere with the prompt
and intelligent discharge of his court
duties.
Although Judge Sweat overstepped
the bounds of propriety in his conduct
towards some ladies at Indian Springs
nothing criminal on this score was es-
tablished before the committee. He
admitted being drunk at banquet on
one occasion, but it was not shown that
he was not qualified to preside at court
the next day, though court was late in
opening for business.
Senator Carter, upon whom the COM
mittee put the burden of proof, con-
Quoted the cases in manner that has
gained for him the respect of every one
who kept up with the proceedings.
He IS given full credit for conscien-
tiousness in presenting the charges,
when the duty was forced upon him by
the action of the legislature, as we'll as
for the display of exceptionable ability
of management.
While Judges Reese aud Sweat will
doubtless retain their official positions
they do not come out of the investiga-
tion with flying colOrs, and it is safe to
predict that they will put themselves
tossome trouble not to be caught any
more.

Has 1t Come to This?
| the Macon Telegraph.

From the Macon Telegraph.
A Georgia paper says, eff man sue,
ceeds in slaughtering half of the mem
bers of his family his safety lies not in
flight, but in suIrendaring to the Off
GERS of the law. 1t is the easiest and
most inviting avenue of escape"
Has it come to this? Is there really
any foundation in fact for the ground
work of 50 grim a joke, if joke it is in
tended to be?
Is the law at fault? Are the juries r.
creant to duty? Can the judges be to
blame?
1t is time the law-abiding people of
Georgia were waking up to the fact that
crime is on the increase, and that the
ordinary methods of restraint do not
seem to restrain.
If the laws are insufficient, strengthen
them. If the jurors are weak, purge the
boxes. If judges and solicitors are in
competent, take hand in the next deal
of the slate.
