PLEA OF FORMER CONVICTION.
The Doctrine in State VS. Albertson
Reafirmed by the Supreme Court.

In the case of State VS.. Walter Fagg,
sent up from Wake Superior Court, the
Supreme Court holds that plea of
former conviction can be sustained
where the defendant has been previously
convicted before justice of the peace
of simple assault in an ARRAY where
another defendant did use deadly wea-
pom. This point has been decided in
State VS.. Albertson d13 n. c., 633,)
and the court says it sees no reason to
reverse that decision.
The Fagg case, just decided, was an
indictment against the defendant and
one Ralph Fortune for an ARRAY in
which deadly weapon vas used. Defend
ant Fortune submitted to verdict OF
guilty. Fagg plead formed conviction,
having been tried before a justice of the
peace and punished for a simple assault.
The evidence showed that Fagg had
used no deadly weapon, though Fortune,
who submitted, had.

CALLED ATTENTION TO IT
THE KING Is NOW HUNTING THE
FOOLISH CAT.
PRITCHARD AND THE FEDERAL COURTS
The Senator Charged With Manipulating Them
for his Own Benefit. he Radical Ruler
Hunting the Henchman who Dared
thus Open his Head.

Senator Pritchard spent yesterday in
Raleigh. He arrived on the PIG train
yesterday morning and left on the $40
train for Greensboro yesterday after
noon.
At Greensboro he expected to be joined
by his wife, who is suffering with rheu-
matism in her arm and shoulder, and
who will go with the Senator to Wash
ington or New York to consult a spe-
cialiSt.
Mr.. Pritchard said he came here purely
on business connected with a case he has
in the Supreme Court He declined to
discuss politics with the newspaper men,
but said he had an invitation to go to
Ohio and make a few speeches; that he
would go as soon as his wife's health
permitted.
who'll be the next GOVERNOR l
asked
Il can't tell you that, but l can tell
you Mckinley will be the next Presi-
dent" he piped like parrot proud of the
words he'd learned.
What do you think of Loge Harris
MarionButler-g ubernatorial boom?'
Il told you | was not going to discuss
that, and / won't"
AS | knew the question was not in the
Mark Hanna chatecism | didn't press
it. Neither did | remind him of a fact
he already knew-that his recent "ad-
dress to the people, had fallen with a
dead-frog flop, and even his own party
men were laughing at its silly state
ments and sophomore diction.
1t was quietly talked among Repub-
leans here last night that there was an
other object in Pritchard's visit to
Greensboro. besides meeting his wife.
Recently, it WIS said. an item had APP
peared in one of the Greensboro papers.
purporting 70 quote "a prominent and
well known Republican" as saying that
lit is an outrage the way the Federal
courts especially at Statesville and
Asheville are now being run that Uni
ted States Senator Pritchard simply
runs the whole shooting match, that is to
say he and his hencemen are working
into every case, and that an outsider
stands no show of getting anything"
Naturally Pri.chard doesn't like this,
and it seems he is bent on finding out
which one of his hencemen has dared
look at the king and "see anything"
To add to the gaiety of the situation,
a dispatch from Winston last night said:
District Attorney Holton, in passing
through Greensboro today, asked a
prominent citizen if he knew the name
Of the Republican whom the Greensboro
paper quoted. The district attorney was
iastounded when told that his law part
ner, J. e. Alexander, was the man VITO
did the talking against Senator Pritch-
ard. When questioned about it this
afternoon, however, Alexander emphat-
ically denied the charge, saying he did
not know the editor of the Greensboro
paper and had made no such statement.
ut is quite probable that an investi-
CATION will be called for and the name
of the prominent Republican, who
charged Senator Pritchard as being a
great friend of the Federal court, will be
given to the public"
Alexander is the man who was Gov
ernor Russel's private secretary the first
year of his term.
Now this is what ] call real nice
