The Circuit Court for Worcester Coun-
ty which adjourned on Friday, October
10Th, until after the election, reconyened
last Monday with Judge Jones on the
bench. He was joined by Judge Hol-
land in the afternoon. A large number
of people have been in attendance at
Court this week ; many as witnesses in
the various cases and others interested
in the proceedings of Court.
The first case tried was the State
versus Gordy Beauchamp charged with
keeping disorderly house ia Pocomoke
City. Not guilty.
State versus Michael Romano charged
with larceny. State declined to offer
testimony. Not guilty.
State versus Charles Mitchell accused
of selling liquors to divers persons at
Ocean City, Md. Not guilty.
State versus John Davis, for highway
robbery. Guilty.
State versus John Parks, for highway
robbery. Guilty.
The case of the State VS.. Clayton Brit
tingham and Chas. Niblett charged with
assaulting Cleatus Dryden a few weeks
ago, an account of which appeared in
the MESSENGER, has been before the
Court since Wednesday morning. A
great many witnesses were summoned
on both sides and the testimony was
long drawn out. Dryden's testimony
was substantially as given in the MES
sENGER at the time of his injury, to the
effect that Birmingham and Niblett at
tackled HIM at Hollands Church without
provocation on his part and cut HIM
nearly to death. The defense is that it
was free fight in which Dryden got
the worse of it. AS we go to press the
witnesses have all been examined and
States Attorney Johnson is preparing to
make his opening argument.
