Monday Morning.
Last Friday when many persons
appeared before Judge Trenchard and
entered plea of guilty, he an
nounced to them that he would dis
pose of their cases this morning at
nine O'Clock. At that time there
were set down for trial to-day three
appeal cases, and the Judge desired
to get the criminal business disposed
of by ten O. oclock SO that the civil
cases would not be interfered with.
This was a commendable show of
energy upon Judge Trenchard's part
but it was wasted. Two of the civil
cases were posptoned before Saturday
afternoon by agreement of counsel
and the Judge was not sure that the
third one would be called when he
entered the Court House this morn
ing.
Still, at nine O'Clock the Court was
opened with Judge Trenchard presid-
ing, and there were many before him
who were anxiously awaiting the SEN
tence that would fall from the lips of
the man who held their immediate
fate in his keeping. There were very
many others there too, curious ones,
who always appear in Court on SEN
tence day.
The following cases were dis
charged:
Charles Lee, disorderly house,
Howard Carman, rape; John Wesley
Cousins, concealing crime; John
LuDton, eoncealing crime: David
Hand, concealing crime; no indict-
ments being found
James Sutton was fined S75 and
