THE COURT NAMES
THE COMMITTEE.
Did Not Nan, Mr. Hughes to Act in
the Matter Pending.

Welsh, ". Va, July i3.-There is
much talk in this county over the
charges which have been presented
against two members OF the county
court and also the petition which
was presented yesterday by the mem
oers of the court. against Honora-
Die W. W. Hughes, who is acting as
judge during The absence of Judge
Chambers. who is now confined in the
Hessler Hospital at Huntington.
Yesterday the attorney for MIR.
Nicholson. r. l.. Henritze and d. Z.
French appeared in court and asked
Tor the appointment OF committee
70 investigate the charges.
The accused by their attorneys
Strother, Taylor and Flanagan.
Wyndham Stokes and 4. T. Vinson.
appeared and objected to the Hon.
W. W. Hughes acting as special
judge in the matter, and in support
of same fled petition and afida-
Wit of y. H. Franklin, which OBJ
jections the court overruled and pro
ceeded TO hear the case.
The reason assigned in the petition
of Franklin and Upton are that the
charges We're preferred against them
by reason of the personal dislike of
the members OF the court by Micnel-
son and a desire TO vent his spite
upon them, that they are the result
of political hatred and inspired by "a
desire to injure the members of the
court politically and officially and
that they are the outgrowth OF a po-
litical fight now being waged in Nc
Dowell county
The members of the court also
claim that Nicholson is being used
as tool at the hands of the law
firm OF Rucker, Anderson, Strother
and hughes and that the charges
presented against them are wholly
false and without foundation.
The judge overruled the obiec-
tions of Franklin and Upton and
appointed committee composed OF
w. d, ord, T. c. Cook and c. S.
Angel, who, if in their opinion the
facts justify same are directed TO
forthwith proceed TO prepare or
cause to be prepared in proper form
charges against the said y. II. Frank
lin and B. f. Upton, or either of
them and submit the same to the
court for its action.
Bills OF exceptions were fled by
the attorneys for the defense to all
the actions of the court and the case
will in all probability be taken to
the Supreme Court.
