4 rather diverting incident during the

room four negroes OF various ages and
lllcS, ana Sdlu ne nad lOunl llcEi ldlh-
ing about a watch and looking at i.
Judge PEBBLES ordered that each one be
fired 50. The colored men looked 50 SAD
at this that Solicitor Daniel ana Capt
Day begged the judge not to let the clerk
take their money, saying that they Wer,
:, sufficiently scared. SO the judge RENTED
the fines, and a chorus OF Thanked sirs,
= was heard, amid broad grins ana whit,
teeth.
Sc Another more serious incident was tn
4 receipt by the judge OF an anonymous
l letter informing him that the jury hac
been seen TO be struggling on the street
r. and persons had been seen to speak K
/ them on their way to and from meals
* The letter was delivered to the Judge BY
Is young Rogers, special delivery clerk q
q the postoffce. Judge PEBBLES had tine DO,
summoned and sworn. He said the lette
had been given to him by Postmaste
Bailey to deliver. Then the judge hac
e. Postmaster Bailey hailed into court an,
IS asked him who the letter came from. Il
id don't know" said Mr.. Bailey, 1t cam,
d by mail" The judge picked, up the enve
re lope. why, 50 it did he said, II ha'
not noticed that before. / beg your par
don for sending for you"
Judge PEBBLES then gave Deputy Sheriff
at Edwards very explicit directions about tn,
OF jury. He must not even take them Il
TX church today. because in a case recent.
the words of a preacher were sand 10 l9r
