Rucker called attention to this def
cheney in the affidavit, and said he
would like to have an explanation of
the failure of the man With whom
Jones staid all night to see him. The.

ley had inadvertently, it is presumed,
failed to state it. He retired wi,h the
affidavit for the necessary amend
ment. and soon returned with Il con-
tanning the additional information that
the mans name was Jack" and that
he did not see Jones on the occasion
mentloned because he was blind and
could not see"
The court and prosecuting attorney
seeing the futilIty of contending
against fate, guided by a lawyer pos
sessed OF such boundiess resources,
abandoned the contest, and allow.d
the continuance of Jones' case unit
'e next January term of the Salisbury

Judge Rucker admitted the defend
ant to bail in the sum Of $3.50. but it
Is believed that he will not be able to
furnish bond IN the required amount,
and will be compelled to Ianguist in
jail until the time set for his trial.
Tnere has not yet been any appre-
hension of the man, who, it is thought,
was connected with Jones in the theft
of Mr.. Hurts wool, and it begins to
look as though the accessory was going
to be successful in eluding capture. es-
