opened the door, a negro man
who was afterward Unidentified as
Charles Reed-jumped up off the
floor of the closet, where he was
sitting and tried to get out. Mrs.

in the office ran up stairs to see
what was the matter. The negro
WAS surrounded and the police
sent for. Chief Orr and Officer
Earnhardt responded. They ar

before the mayor. He bound him
over to court, and he was taken

CONSTABLE NEWELL AC-
Quilted.
The Case Against Him Dismissed.
His Wife Held.
Special to The State.

Moffettsville, April 15.-The
preliminary hearing in the case
of the State against Mr.. and Mrs.
X. H. Newell for violations of
the dispensary law was held few
days ago and resulted in the ac-
quittal of the former. The evil
dence against Mrs. Newell was
sufficient to warrant Magistrate
McAllister, before whom the case
was tried, in binding her over to
court. The case attracted much
attention by reason of Newell be.
ing member of the State con-
stabulary force. His absence
from home the greater part of his
time was a material factor in se>
curing his acquittal. The de-
PENDANTS were represented by
Messrs. Prince and Brazeale, of
the Anderson bar. Mrs. Newell
WAS placed under a $500 bond for
her appearance at the June term
of the court of general sessions.

The Stockynrds Case.

Now thnt the case in which six Young
men of Norfolk were charged with n
heinous crime, has been given its pre-
liminary hearing. THE News cannot be
accused of %prejudging the case from
hearsay evidence If 1t rentfirms the
opinion previously expressed that the
young men connected Herewith should
be punished or Mt least bound over tothe
district court.
Popular sentiment of the people OF
Norfolk seems to be more strongly
against the young men since the com
pletion of the preliminary hearing than
al any time since the outrage was per
petrated.
The defense e%ndeavored to excuse
the action of the young men by
tearing to pieces the moral character OF
a helpless and evidently ignorant young
girl. 1t is not within the bounds of
reason that n girl with aparticle OF sense
would consent to receive the treatment
which, according to their W testimony,
she was given at the hands of the defend
ants. So far rs n strict Interpretation of
the law is concerned, they may have
succeeded in lettering themselves before
the court, but as far rs public sentiment
goes they are placed in a worse light
than ever before.
The brazen faced ~ in which
members of the gang told their shame
full story was alone sufficient to disgust
the moral sense of any community, not
to mention the disgusting facts admitted
by them rs having occurred. Their W
evidence was sufficient to prove that
they are dangerous moral lepers whose
presence in Il community is a disgrace
and n SANDER.
The youth and seeming remorse of
some members of the defense pleads for
clemency OH the part of the final court,
but there ought to be no reason why
they should not be bound over to the
district court, there to be given their
final hearing.
THE News but voices the sentiment
Of nine out of ten people of the city
when it says that Judge Bates can make
no mistake in binding the young men
over, while he may make n serious error
in dismissing them.
Their prosecution would seem to be
demanded not only as IA matter of pro
lection to other homes, but it would
have a sound moral effect upon Other
youths who would be warned to guard
against being placed in a similar posi-
ton before the eyes of the law and tn,
moral sentiment of the community.
Like crimes have been so Otter
smoothed over and excused that /
would seem that the time has arrived
when a telling lesson should be laugh
and an example set which should be
warning for all time to come.
