MIR, II. II. SMITH RELEASED.
No Evidence Sufficient to Hold the
Man With the Nerve.

In the Police Justices Court yes
terday there was a long hearing in the
case of r. r. Smith, the young man
from Durham, who has been figuring
SO prominently in the society columns
as related to the deep east. he being
charged with having made coun-
tryman named Moody drunk and rob-
bling him at the house of Bertha
BROWN, D
The facts were about as outlined
yesterday. nothing being proved posi-
lively against Smith and he was dis
charged.
The Bertha Brown delegation was
again in court as witnesses, though
with fewer feathers and gewgaws In
addition to the three fairies of Thurs
day there was the Lady Friend of Mr.
Smith, Miss Myrtle Johnson. who
came mysteriously to the surface
after the main event. Miss Myrtle is
small of dirty brunette complexion,
with the inevitable pomoadour bang
and sickly grey eyes with cast i'm the
left one.
Mr.. Smith testified i'm his own be-
half and told some one or two impoS-
Sible taleS-among them that he had
borrowed five dollars from Bertha
Brown, a statement which caused that
lady to smile mouthfu of teeth
but there was nothing to hold him
on. Mr.. Smith averred among other
things that he was tWenty-One years
old, his home was in Durham; that
he had worked i'm Memphis and ST
Louis and was out of job lso COM
pletely that he didn't know where the
next meal was coming from. He
and Moody met at the restaurant of
Sam Hawkins, colored. where they
got a ten cent smack and stari\'
visiting. Hawkins has the voice of a
spring rooster and the girth of
balloon-a splendid advertisement of
his trade.
Mr.. Smith was still man of nerve
although he had not a cent. 1t is
possible that until he gets job he
may become permanent asset of the
town.

Cars VIII Soon Be At Station.

Grading has been begun preparatory
to the laying of street car rails from
Hillsboro street to the station. On
Friday two-horse pillow was used in
an attempt to break the ground on
West St, but it was soon given up rs
a dismal failure, yesterday however
better progress was made, rails having
been laid as far as Morgan street and
the excavation having been made even
farther. From this it seems that we
NAV soon be able to carry our friends
and relatives to and from the station
without the unnecessary trouble ana
expense of hiring a carriage.

Curious Breaking of Street Lamp.

On certain portions of the street car
lines the branches Of shade trees have
so grown during the summer that
they overlap the wire and thus cause
the throwing of the trolly when the
cars pass. Near Polk street, where
there is a magnificent line of naples,
a conductor was observed on top of
the car. pruning the branches with
a pocket knife. The night before the
trolly had jumped from the wire while
the car was going rapidly down grade
and had come in contact with the arc
light at the corner of Polk and Blount

INVESTIGATE ALL!
Governor Glenn Writes
to Hospital Board On
Nall Case.

Governor Glenn, who will leave on
Sunday for a trip to several New
England points in company with a
number of distinguished Southerners,
yesterday gave out a letter which he
has sent to the directors of the state
Hospital, through Mr.. John w.
Thompson, of the Board of that in
stitution.
In making the letter public the
Governor took occasion to repeat ms
statement that he desired thorough
investigation into the management and
treatment of patients, not only at the
State Hospital, but at all other SINH
lar State institutions for the care OF
unfortunates. He considers that the
revelations in the Nall case are such
as to create anxiety throughout the
State, and that it is important that the
methods of conduct of all State inst-
tutions should be inquired into.
AS through a long standing engage
ment he will be absent from the city
during the investigation which has
been called for by superintendent Nc
Kee, the Governor wrote the Board
as an expression of his interest in the
matter in hand and his idea of its I'M
portance.
The letter is as follows:
Raleigh. September 8. 1905.

pital. Raleigh n. c.:
Gentlemen
"On the eve of leaving the State to
be gone for ten days or more, know
ing that Doctor Mckee has called you
to meet on Wednesday, 18th day of
September. 1905, to investigate the
cause of the death of Thomas Nall,
the patient in the State Hospital, |
deem it my duty as Governor of the
State, to write and urge you. not only
to make a thorough and full investi-
cation of this unfortunate case; but,
also to make diligent inquiry, to see
whether any other of the inmates
have. in any way, been inhumanly or
harshly treated by any officers or at
tendants in the institution.
You are called together, not for
the purpose of eliminating any one,
nor shielding any one; but to go to
the bottom of everything. to the end
that the public may know, fully, the
condition of things in the Hospital.
would suggest that you have d steno-
grapher to take all the testimony, the
witnesses being sworn. and then, also,
in writing report your finding of facts
to the end that, if any officer or at
tendant has been guilty of any wrong,
they may be dealt with in accordance
with law. Or in cases you find that
no wrong mas Deen uOne, the pupllc
may see for themselves the truth of
your findings. ! have the utmost faith
in the integrity and fidelity of every
member Of the Board. and know,
therefore, that it is useless for me TO
request you without fear or favor TO
do your full duty. Please send a copy
of ths evidence and your findings to
me. Sincerely yours,
