.RSTELL'S
STORY IS
TO Thin

IL don't know Mcdonald, nor have
ever seen him before in my life"
was part Of the statement made by
Louis Arstell during his examina-
tion before Justice of the Peace
Webster yesterday afternoon.
After there had been some con-
vlnclng testimony given by witnesses
for the state, including SheriR Min
to, Deputy Esch, j. J. Mcdonald and
others, Arstell made known to the
court that he wished to make a state
ment in bis own behalf. He said
there was considerable prejudice
against him on account OF the par
don he was granted by Governor
Benson; that he understood there
was a serious charge placed against
him, and one that he had never be-
fore been mixed up in. That last
Monday he came over to Salem from
the Chapman ranch. where he had
been working. and after looking
about town during the day he ltf
for Independence, where he thought
work might be procured on some
OF the ranches. He told OF how he
stopped at the tent at the head of
the slough to get . drink; getting In
wagon and riding as far as the
school house on the Halls Ferry
road, where he stayed all night at
a farm house and then resumed his
trip to Independence on foot, cross
ing Halls Ferry about ~ o'clock
that day. After arriving at Indepen-
dence he says he was told OF several
places where a man was needed to
work and stayed about the livery
barns OF Independence waiting for
some OF the hopmen, who he was
informed, wanted a man. While
sitting in front OF a livery barn in
the south end OF the city he saw
sheriff Minto approaching and asked
who he was, and upon being in
formed, he stared to run.
Arstelrs excuse for running was
that owing TO his being pardoned
upon conditions, hethought maybe
he had violated some OF the condi-
tions and as the two years he had
already spent in the penitentiary
we're not forgotten he made the at
tempt TO get away.
The gun on his person being
termed "a concealed weapon" wal
enough for him to doubt his exact
following OF the pardon rules, h'
says and he just up and ran away
throwing the gun as he went.
Il occurred. however, during tn,
examination OF witnesses. that Ars
tell had been seen on the Liberty
road about 80 yards beyond where
the holdnp took place, sitting alonl
side the trail A. young man by the
name OF Thurman testified that while
he was coming to Salem he saw Ars
tell coming towards him on the trai
and when Arstell saw him he CARS

DEATH OF WALTER pIcKARD.

A telegram announcing the
sudden death of Walter Pickard.
Of Chapel Hill, was received here
last Saturday night by the fire
departments.
The young Chapel lillian was
in Richmond undergoing treat
ment at the hospital. There had
always been an organic affection
Of the heart but nobody had fear
ed death. Mr.. Pickard went to
Richmond about the time that
the Durham volunteer fremen
went to Asneville and had been
there since, six weeks. The tele-
gram last night literally took the
breath of men.
There wasn't a finer, likelier,
more agreeable young man. No
man who ever attended the state
university and saw him as a boy
of ten or twelve, will forget his
fat cheeks, big honest eyes.
roguish, yet manly face. He is
perhaps the best remembered of
the children there. He had since
grown to young manhood and
held the first chieftancy Of the
Chapel Hill fire department.
He was especially liked by
Durham's fireman. There wasn't
an act Of possible kindness that
Babe" Pickard would leave un-
done and he extracted the hap
piest days Of his ceasing life
from that very thing. Besides
the fire department he was with
Durham people often, running
one Of the automobile lines a
short while and coming here Of

ARRESTED FOR STEALING.
Negro Did the Stealing and While Man
Received the Goods.

J. w. Carlton, a merchant
from the Leesville section Of
Wake county, was arrested here
Monday charged with stealing
some cloth from the Erwin cot
ton mills. Officers got on the
trail Monday and arrested Carl
ton upon information obtained
from a man in West Durham.
The wagon in which was found
fourteen bolts Of cloth was seen
in the woods near West Durham
and when officers went out to
look for it wagon, driver and all
were gone. 1t was not long be-
fore the wagon was tracked and
J. w. Carlton was arrested. He
had fourteen bolts of blue denim
on his wagon. He was brought
before Justice ID. c. Gunter and
tried and placed under a bond of
5000, which he gave and was re.
leased and went on his way.
Tuesday the officers continued
to be busy and a negro by the
name Of Arch Hopkins was ar
rested and it was found that he
had been assisting in the work,
or rather it is believed that he is
the real thief and that Carlton
can only be tried for concealing
stolen property.
Hopkins is an old offender and
has been in the tolls Of the law
before for this offense and it is
said that he skipped his bond.
He does not seem to desire to
give bond in this case and is now
in jail awaiting the action of the
grand jury.
