THE AFTERNOON SESSION.
Theodore Darkley Tells His Story of
the Counterfeiting.

The first witness put on the stand af-
ter the dinner recess was Mr.. j. IL. VII
liams, the Southern Express Company S
agent at Wilmington.
He was asked to refer to his books
and find any express packages that might
have been received at his office for A.
j. Marshall.
Mr. Williams said his attention had
already been particularly called to two
and he supposed these were the ones
about which information was desired
He turned to these.
On October oath, package was sent
from Philadelphia to a. j. Marshall,
$50 c. o. d. The money was returned
on October 9th The express was 70
cents. the charges on the money % cents,
making a total of $3.50.
On November 18th, box was sent
from Philadelphia to y. j. Marshall,
S4O.1O c. o. d. The express charges
were $125. the charges on the money
returned % cents, making total of
SLIGO.
The witness said he had no means of
knowing what was in either package. .
On cross-examination Mr.. Williams
said he had been accustomed to deliver
TO Marshall three or four packages of ex-
press a month. He gave Marshall a good
character. but said he didn't know
Politz's character.
Mr.. Samuel Northrop, a clerk in the
express office, said he delivered to Mar
shall the two packages referred to by
Mr. Williams.
Did you ever visit Nick Politz's
place."
Yes"
Did you see Marshall there?"
Il never saw him there very often. /
did see him there ON one or two occa-
sions."
AT what time of the day or night
was it,"
Il couldn't state the hour"
On cross examination the witness said
he had delivered to Marshall other pack
geS than the two referred to.

SMALL POX IN CHATHAM.
It has Guaranteed Against the Whole
of Guilford County.

Mr. H. A. London, of Chatham, was
in Raleigh yesterday. Speaking of the
small poX i'll that county, he says that
there is only few cases in the county,
and none near Pittsboro.
His paper. the Chatham Record, pub
lished yesterday, said:
Notwithstanding the efforts made by
DR.. Chaplin, the county superintendent
of health, to stop the spread of small
poX in Chatham there are a few more
cases. And, like those heretofore report
ed. they were caused by negroes coming
from Greensboro. BY IL rigid quarantine
there was no epidemic in Gulf township
on account of the three negroes who
brought the small poX from Greensboro.
IA month ago, but week before last anoth-
er negro. named Fisher Holmes, came
from Greensboro sick and in three days
was badly broken out with small pOX.
His family has been quarantined and 1T
Is hoped the disease may be confined to
them. 1t is strange that the authorities
of Greensboro will continue to allow
negroes sick with small poX to leave that
city and carry it to other places.
I'm order to protect the citizens Of
Chatham against any more small p3x
cases coming from Greensboro our
county commissioners ON last Tuesday
decided to quarantine our county against
the whole of Guilford county. Accord
ingly they directed the sheriff to station
a guard at every depot on the Southern
railroad (the old G.. K. & y. W in this
county and prevent any passenger, COM
ing from Guilford county, from getting
off the train unless he has a proper
health certificate. The commissioners
also requested the Southern Railway
Company not to sell any tickets to or
carry ON its trains any person IN Gull
ford county desiring to come to Chath-
am, unless he can show a health certi-
ficate. All persons therefore, who wish
to come FROM Guilford county to Chath-
am, must have a proper health certiti-
cate"

A PARDON FOR PEARL NORRIS.
Application to be Made to the Presi-
dent for his Release.

When Federal court met yesterday
morning Mr.. Dan Hugh Mclean made
plea for Pearl Norris, who was senten-
ced, just before Christmas. to q term
III the penltentiary for counterfeiting
Norris, it will be remembered. was con-
victed along with I. Il. Parrish, who WAS
sent up for = years, while Norris. in view
of his youth and of the fact that he was
used by the government as Il witness,
was given only one year.
Mr.. Mclean pointed out these facts,
calling attention to Norris value in the
prosecution of Parrish, and contending
that Norris, being very young. had been
used as a tool by Parrish, who is grown
man and Norris employer. He further
pointed out the fact that already Norris
had been in Jail for five months, and he
produced the certificate of the physician
of the penitentiary setting forth that
Norris is now seriously sick and has,
since his incarceration in the peniten-
tiary been unable to perform any labor.
To this petition the district attorney
offered no objection, but Judge Purnell
said the case was now out of his hands,
and the only way to secure Norris re-
lease was by a petition to the President.
The practice of suspending Judgment
is an extremely doubtful one in my
mind. The Judge on the bench has no
right to suspend the criminal law. His
duty is when Judgment is prayed, to pro
nounce it. No judge has the right to sus-
pend Judgment in n case of felony after
conviction and prayer for Judgment
lit is understood that a petition will

Treasurer Worth yesterday issued the
following. letter:
To the County Treasurer and the County
Superintendent of Public Schools:
Owing to the delay in getting taxes i'm
from the counties l am unable at this
time to honor the warrants for the $780,
600 appropriation for public schols.

the money in time to be distributed for

greet that | cannot pay the warrants

wait patiently until 1 can pay them. l

they may be sent in for payment, and
trust that it will not be long before |
may do so.
Very respectfully,
