CRIMINAL CASES.
The grand jury returned indict-
ments against George Barton, col,
Oscar Craig, COL, and Joan Q. Per-
kins.
Barton and Craig waived formal ar
raignment and plead not guilty, and
will be tried some time during the
term. Barton is the Dalton negto
who assaulted Peter Miller. white
man, with 4 blr of iroa at Dalton on
the goth of last October. Craig is
the Charlton township dusky denizen
who SO seriously carved James Nc
Clair at Porter's chapel on last
Thanksgiving night, Nov. 10Th.
Perkins waivcl formal arraignment,
and with consent of prosecuting at
torney pleaded guilty 20 common as
sault; his punishment was fixed at a
fine of $40. Perkins is the man who
attempted to brain bis brother, J. t.
Perkins, Jr., with n club out near
Scribner schoo,-house. four or FIVE
miles northeast of Kcy,esvi!le, on the
s4th OF November, 1896.
In the case of the state against
Henry Wilson, the tramp timer, who
stole several articles from parties at
the Brown house IN Salisbury recently,
the grand jurv failed TO return a true
bill, and the defendant was discharged.
IL seems that Wilson took the goods
for thepurpose of breaking into the
county jail, to which Prosecuting AT
torney Collet objected. Wilson, we
understand, IN fact told the parties, he
had taken the articles for the purpose
of being sent to Jail, and made no at
tempt whatever to conceal his "guift-"
His sole object was to obtain quarters
for the winter. Theft under such cir
cumstances IS out OF the question, and
