ASHEvILLE BANK CASES.
Argument on Them in the Circuit
Court of Appeals.

An interesting case upon which the
Court of Appeals, now in session in
Richmond, Us asked to pass is that of
Joseph Il. Dickerson, the absconding
cashier of the National Bank of Ashe-
vile. Dickerson was given ten years
Imprisonment by a jury in the United
States District Court for the Eastern
District of North Carolina. His coun-
sci took an appeal, but Judge Thomas
r. Purnell declined to certify to the
bill Of exceptions. Senator Pritchard,
of North Carolina, Dickerson's counsel,
appeared before the Appellate Court
Thursday and asked for a mandamus
to compel Judge Purnell to certify to
the exceptions in order that the case
might properly be brought before the
higher court.
A Similar motion was made in the
case of United States VS.. William T..
Breese. The motion was argued by
Charles A. Moore and Senator ]. G..
Pritchard for the motion and by w.
+. Bynum, special United States attor-
ney, against the motion.

yer, and therefore by his merits calcula-
ted to get practice, still he attends. not
only his own courts at Ashevi.ta, but
Greensboro, Statesville and Charlotte,
and by the influence of officers who
owe him their jobs gets practice over
men who otherwise are entir'ed to ex-
pect it from their people. A fool can
see that Pritchard wouid not come DOWN
here unless he knew his appointees were
at work for him and they would not
work unless they owed him their bread
and meat. Thus the sad spectacle is
seen of a great United States Senator
lowering the high office he holds to
have his henchmen procure FIR him
practice in the Federal court Would
Vance have done and allowed this? / ct
the honest people answer.
Then we AOye Mott, too sick to 20
to Davie, Surry, Allegheny, and odtr
counties, though his duties and oath as
solicitor require him to do so. But is well
enough to be at the Federal conr-s with
his heelers, declaring that he = the one
and only man that can avail the nc-
PENDANTS.
Under the former administration no
Democrat, on account of his pull on
officers, practced all over the State.
The partner OF the then District Attor-
ney, as | am informed, did not take Il
criminal ease and there was no o'iium
attached to the court.
Again there is another thing that is
bringing the court into contempt. At
tend it and you will think you are at
tending a big Republican convention,
for the big men Of the party are all
there. The term of the court is selected
as the time and place for calling to-
gether the State Executive Commit
tee to issue an address denouncing the
constitutional amendment, though ut 4
time of year when no campaign is III
progress. The term OF Statesville court
is chosen for Senator Pritchard to Issue
his prepared manifesto in aid of Repub-
licanism, and Mr.. Linney is allowed ia
inaame the minds of jurors by his Tow
flung wit and violent abuse of Dem
0crats
Does Judge Ewart and Mr.. Holton
want this state of affairs to cease? Then
let them fine some deputy for contempt
for intimatng that any lawyer, Demo
crat or Republican, has less or more in
fuence with the court, and let Mr..
Holton no longer use the terms Of his
court for assembling of the Republican
politicians. But as long as the present
state of affairs exist, not only 'promi-
nent Republicans but all good citizens
will talk and denounce the present proce-
dure."
