Shriyer was indicted uy the grand jury
for having committed adultery. Amanda
Cartia, who was jointly indicted, was
arrested at the time and served her SEN
tence In the county Jail. shriyer was not
aocomm odating, and when he heard that
the sheriff was on his trail he took to the
swamps south Of Congress Lake and re-
maiaed hidden in their innermost re-
eesses until this winter winds no Sled
through the taruar4css and left icicles on
the bougts. Shriver then came forth
and did odd jobs for farmers living near
the swamps, which he resolved to keep
between the sheriff and himself. AS
tire plssed he probably concluded that
he had been forgotten and from day to
day became bolder. Sheriff IHser' how
ever, was far from being asleep. He had
the town constables in that vicinity
posted, and THURSDAY the Hartvllle con-
stable swooped down on the unsuspecting
snriyer before he had time to join the

TRUSTEES ELECT TO-DAY

OF LAW AT UNIVERSITY,
BsrI Me. is al The Governors Office at No'r'
Some Of Those Prominently Men
toned for The Places.

The Executive Committee of the
Board of Trustees of the State Uniyer-
sity meet today to nominate aud the
Beard of Trustees to elect lean OF
the University Law School.
The Executive Committee will meet IN
the Governors office ut ii O'Clock anu
decide upon whom, of the number OF
prominent members of the profession
spoken of in connection with the piace'
they will recommend to the Board Tor
election.
The Board will meet at the same place
at Il o'clock and elect.
1t is understood that at this meeting
of the Board an important change VAL
be made as to the law school; instead
of a professor of law and an assistant,
as hitherto, two full chairs of law viii
be established. and two other members
of the university NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Al
derman and DR.. Battle-will teach cog
nate subjects in the law course, such
as history and political economy,
Attorneys who are mentioned in cen
nection with the law professorships are
Judge MacRae, of Raleigh; Judge
Avery, of Morganton; Judge W. Il. All
len, of Goldsboro; Mr.. II. A. London,
of Pittsboro, and Messrs. r. III. Battle,
Il. Nj. Argo, Il. o. Burton, and $. e..
Mordecai, all of the Raleigh bar. Of
these, however. a number have significd
that they could not accept if elected.
1t had been expected that Judge Mac
Rae and Judge Allen would deyelop cor
siderable strength at today's meeting,
but Judge Allen is understood to lave
intimated his inability to accept. 1t is
probable that Judge MacRae will tie Sc
lected for one Of the chairs.
The law class at the University some
days ago held a meeting to take action
with regard to the Chair of Law and
all the members of the class siguad a
petition asking that Judges Avery ana
Common be elected, except Senator But
Ter and Mr.. Lloyd, who are also trus-
tees. The petition viii not be presented
to the Board but they viii be appraised
of the action and wishes Of tho law
class by President Alderman.
Much interest has attached to this
election both III and out of the legal pro-
fession, since Judge Shepherd decincd
the tender of the place. Imnortan1 as
il is, the Board should have little jifa.
