TO BANK ROBBERY
Negro Boy Will Be Sentenced Next
Week-Forger pleads Guilty and
Will Get Fifteen Years.

Specidl TO The NeUs
MAGNOLIA, Miss, September o.
The third week of the current term of
circuit court convened here Monday
morning, but owing to the prevailing
storm no business was transacted. as
parties litigant and witnesses could
not get to the county seat. Seven
prisoners in Jail were arraigned and
all of them pleaded guilty to the in
dictments against them. Conspicuous
among the number was J. w. Johnson,
alias J. E. Wedgeworth, the white man
who was arrested at Tylertown several
months ago for forging checks. Spe-
cially he was indicted for forging a
check purporting to be signed by H.
H. Simmons for $165, and another in
dictment for forging a $1S5 check, us
ing the signature of J. d. Ferguson.
When arraigned he had nothing TO say
except to plead guilty to both charges.
He will be sentenced at the close of
the term, and Judge Wilkinson will
probably give him the limit of fifteen
years, as his operations throughout
South Mississippi have been on
large scale. Another case of interest
disposed of was that of Link Wilson, IA
1O-year-Old negro, who robbed the
Osyka Bank several weeks ago. He
and his pal, a negro not more than 8
years old, pleaded guilty, and are
awaiting sentence. Other cases dis
posed of in this manner were: Allen
Ravencraft, retailing, 5000 and thirty
days; Bob Woods, retailing, $25 and
costs; Joe Cook, burglary, yet to b.
sentenced.
