IN A MISTRIAL
Discharge Of the Jury, Eight of Whom Were
for Conviction and Four for
Acquittal

Ward, Morgan, Rich, whitley and Allen
were remanded to the custody OF the
sheriff in the sum OF $4,000 justified bonds.
w. p. Snakenburg, ex-pohceman. was
then called up and Judge Shaw, in burn
ing and impressive words. reprimanded
him for his neglect of duty as sworn
officer of the law. The Judge told him
that if his own evidence and that of f..
d. Alley are to be believed. notwithstaDd-
ing the fact that he had been frequently
warned during the day, even by Whitley,
who asked him what could be done with
him if Jones was injured, Snakenburg was
standing about the street or walking
through alleys instead of going at once to
the scene of the crime and seeking to
prevent it.
The Judge said in conclusion that if Mr.
6nakenburg had been afraid OF the defend.
ants he should have resigned, and it was
criminal neglect of duty on his part. no
matter what the excuse.
Mr.. Snakenburg was then turned over
to the sheriff and his bond for appearance
at the next term of court to answer the
charge of criminal neglect of duty was
fixed at 5000.
Turning his attention to criminals gen.
orally, Judge shaw told them they might
succeed for awhile, but that a day of
reckoning would come, the people were
becoming aroused against crime, and that
all any community needed was healthy
public sentiment before which crime would
fee as mist before the sun.
| He called Mr.. Luther Barnes, who was
then placed under bond to answer the
charge of perjury, and asked his reason
for the difference in his first and last
statement as to securing hat for Law
renee Morgan while in JAIL
Mr.. Barnes replied that he did not
understand the questions and that he had
no desire to misrepresent the facts In the
case. Judge Shaw thereupon said he ac-
cepted the statement, as he did not desire
to leave the impression that Mr.. Barnes
intended to do anything wrong. There
fore he was discharged. The Judge stated
that upon investigation he found that
Mr.. Barnes was man of good character.
The bonds of the defendants Bass and
Walls had already been filed in the sum of
81, 200 each, that sum having been fixed
before the trial was begun. j. B. Piver
not appearing in court to answer, an in
stanter capias was issued for him and his
bond was fixed at $4,000. w. p. Croom's IS
bond remained at $500. John Pittman not
appearing, his bond was fixed at $4,000.
The jury were told to prove their attend
ance and were discharged.
| The cases will not be moved to another
county, but will go over until the Septeul-
Der term Of court, over which Judge Gar
| land Ferguson, of Waynesville, will preside.
Judge Shaw complimented the newspa
pers in their efforts to suppress crime.
| Judge Shaw has captured our people.
His presence here at this term of court
has been a blessing to this community
We hope that he may come back. Many
of our people want him to locate in our
midst.
