Chewed His Friend.

Charlotte Observer.
The trial before Mayor Mccall yes
terday morning of John Alexander
and Will Crockett, colored, for an al
fray, developed testimony that could
only be heard south of the Mason and
Dixon line. AS was published in Sun
days Observer, this was the case
wherein Alexander was charged with
biting off piece of Crockett's chin
The testimony showed that the two
negroes were, and are, warm friends
In sheer braggadocio each contended
that he was better man than the
other. Finally, to settle the matter
they went out of Dayls anu Truehard' :
store, where they had been sitting, and
fought. Alexander cllnched Crock
ett's chin with his teeth and bit till he
was forced to loose his grip. Crockett.
bleeding profusely and suffering, swore
that Alexander was his best friend
still.
Alexander (mark Damon's regard
for his Pythias) took from his mouth
the liberal piece of his friends chin
and then, according to one witness,
wrapped it carefully in handkerchief
and put it In his pocket.
And there they were at the trial
Crockett with the gaping wound in
his Jaw and Alexand er carrying por-
ton of that same jaw in his trousers 3
pocket as a ouvenir-devoted friends
as ever.
Tho mayor finel tbs two men $5
each and afterwards remltted Crock
et:'s fine. The IS fire was paid land
