Il Elhe State ia ready.
Ill Esbhn H. Rodney called the name
Mr White, Henry M. White y
lk Qben it was that the gray haired
I'll LAD, who had assumed an eSpeetant
.V l;utude came forward and sat down

h limsmber OF the Levy Court, and they
Nh lefe his counsel.
VA lMr. Ward called up indictment NJ
l& M against Mr.. White, and Mr.. Rodney
~ len made the following statement to
e court;
y Before entering the p!en for the defendant,
fby the courtesy OF the atturney- general and
n permission of your hUnurs, his counsel de-
sire to submit certain considerations to the
court.
His counsel have known him well and
favorably Tor years, and Tor myself may say
III have known him all his life. He comes Of
a family OF respecta bility and honesty and
he himself has always exhibited there char
II aeteristics.
He finds himself now in a most untortu-
nate situation and one which we think APP
u pegls to the cemency of this court. The epse
\ presented ny this indictment is legally true
kand SO far as the evidence OF tine nrpseplt-
ing witness is concerned 1t would be all
I mitted.
The indictment charges fraudulent bill
Y N in favor of Harry g, LIMOS for $R2.25, ana
warrant drawn for this amount whereas the
lwitnesssdid not perform he work charged
II soF or receive the said sum of money.
Nm Minis must he admitted.
WI The statement as made by the defendant
IN dhis counsel land OF which the evidence is
iere present in court is that only $3.50 was
kne to the said Enos. This was pnid by the
M letendant out of his own pocket before the
NJ lil was presented TO the Levy Court. When
II presented other bills due from the county
|, I, sgregatllg the full amount were combined
nj llth it all of which can be accounted for
H1 III icept the sum of 10 of this sum the de-
\ II indant can give no explanation which
n Y ipuld be legally satisfactory To tho court
N N bld the jury owing to the cure essness and
NJ Ybglect WHICH prevailed. This careessness
MI ltld neglect has placgd him in the positiun
N making it impossible fur him to SUCCESS
IL HBlly defend against the whole charge,
HI lHFeeiing that under these circumstances the
n u Ihmeuey of this court may properly be in
NJ Aed, his counsel for him., standing as he
vi l4es within the shadoP of the entrance of
III IVf punishment. ana Still giving to him
ny llr tull friendship, most earnestly ask that
u be extended.
