CLERK In STORE AT
WARD DOES CLEVER
DETEGTIVE WORK

Ward, Feb. 26.-Ben Ingram and
John Crawford, two young negroes,
claiming to hail from Colum bia.
were this afternoon lodged in jail
here by Deputy Simmons. charged
with entering the store room Of w.
II. White at Ward, Wednesday
night and stealing five suits of
clothes. and two pair of shoes and
other goods.
They were arrested at Batesburg
yesterday morning and placed in the
town lookup. Within 80 minutes
thereafter they had set fire to the
guard house. They were taken from
there back to Ward and were close
ly guarded last night and brought
here today.
They effected an entrance into
Whites store by breaking the Shut
ter and taking pane out of the
sash. When the nOrthbOund train
came along yesterday morning
Henry Howard, boarded it and on
reaching Monetta he saw two ne
groes come into the car and at once
recognized the suit each had on as
goods of his employer. On exam
ination, it was found that one OF
them had on three suits and the
other two suits and each was wear
ing pair of Whites shoes. The
goods were at once identified by
the marks on the tags.
The negroes say they do not want
any trial, which is understood that
they mean by this to plead guilty.

tained from Clerk Of the Court l.
l.. Parrott for'the use Of the Court
room for the purposes Of the pend
ing trials, and its capacity was taxed
to the utmost all day.
All of the accused were arIaigned
and pleas Of not guilty" were en-
tered in all the cases, either by the
accused or by counsel. The case
against c, II. Winn, charged on two
seperate counts, was first called foI
trial. The city's evidence was tax
en- in both cases, and the defendant
was heard in his own behalf. On
motion Of Geo. d. Levy. attorney
for the defendant, the case was con-
tinued until tomorrow in order that
a material witness might be sub
poenaed to appear to testify on be
half Of the defendant.
The next case entered into was
that against O. +. Bostick. Prelim-
mary motions on numerous technical
points consumed much time OF the
Court, and the work Of empanelling
the jury practically consumed the
remainder Of the afternoon session.
Mr.. Bostick is represented by John

a very large nnmber Of the cases
now pending l.. d. Jennings, Esq.
has been retained by the city to
prosecute the cases.
From present indications it will
take fully month to dispose of al
the cases. The city has gone to
much expense in making out these
cases, and has had six detectives of
the Hub Detective Agency, of Me

month Oil per diem salary Their
presence here will be required until
all the cases have been disposed of.
