Serving out his time for costs
brought Pierce out of prison about
two months ago, ard now he is back
again with fair chance of serving
still more time.
During the sixteen years that he
has been almost continuously in state
prison, Pierce has found time to have
his name appear five times on the
docket of the Mayors court, and has
served one or two thirty-day sentences
in the county Jail.
His career has been busy one, and
the bad colored fellow simply finds it
impossible to stay out of Jail.

BOTH PLEAD GUILTY
Tozer Gets Bail But Murphyis Sent
Back to Jail in Default of

Last night was the time set for the
hearing of Herschel Lake and Jerry
Tozer, the bold, bad bandits, who on
Saturday night conspired to separate
innocent young Richard Murphy from
$4.75, money he had earned by hard
work upon farm.
Those about City Hall last night
were surprised when the desperate
young men were brought from the
County prison for hearing. Lake and
Tozer did not look the part of the
murderous holdup artists. Instead,
they appeared couple of mighty
sorry looking lads, who were scared
in fits because of the predicament they
were in. Neither of the young men
had to be proven guilty. They were
willing to admit the escapade in all
~ narrowing details. Both boys

Upon request of Mr.. Whitaker, Pub
lie Safety Commissioner Hughes was
requested to appear before City Coun-
Gil to explain why there was collected
but $50 license for the circus which
recently exhibited here.
Mr.. Hughes said he had nothing to
do with issuing licenses for circuses.
That, he said, was up to the Mayor,
and Council should talk to him.
Mr.. Whitaker asked Mr.. Hughes if
he did not write upon his own letter
head an authority for the circus to
show here for $50. He said he did,
but upon the authority of the Mayor.
Mayor Hampton was then requested
to explain the situation to City Coun-
Gil. He promptly complied. The
Mayor explained that he understood
from Commissioner Hughes that an
advance representative Of the circus
had been here and the Commissioner
had told him that he had fixed Ii
cense fee of $50, explaining that there
was no menagerie with the show. The
Commissioner, the Mayor said, collect
ed $50, and he did not see the show
until night, and he did not feel then
like making demand for $50 more,
although he thought the circus should
have paid $1O0 The Mayor said he
was inclined to feel that he had been
little remiss in not attending to the
matter.
Mr.. Whitaker asked the Mayor if he
had authorized the Commissioner to
tell the advance man of the show the
license fee would be $50.
The Mayor replied that he never
knew until after the show was here
that there had been q representative
here.
Mr. Whitaker closed the matter by
saying that it seemed clearly the duty
of the Mayor to issue these licenses
and by the Commissioner butting in,
the City had lost S50".
Commissioner Hughes said that

accommodation to the Mayor, and that

PIERCE BACK
TO THE JAIL
Given Hearing by Mayor
Last Night.
HAS BAD RECORD
Held Under $1,000 Bail for Atrocious
Assault Upon James
Ingles.

Last night Mayor Hampton had
Sherman Pierce before him charged
with atrocious assault upon James IN
giles. The crime was committed last
Saturday night, and it is very fortu-
nate that Pierce is not held for muir
der. But two witnesses were called
last night, and Pierce was sent back
to Jail in default of bail to answer
before the next term of court.
The notorious negro has long,
bad record for sixteen years figuring
in the courts and state prison.
Pierce, has been in and out of pris-
on during 1.-THE time, about as fast as it
was possible for the authorities to put
him there. He first figures in the
Cumberland County Courts at the
May tenn of 1895.
At that tinIeA Mr.. William A. Logue
was ProsecutoN2ef Pleas, ana Judge
James R. Hoagland was on the bench.
By rather strange.coincidence, Mr..
J. Hampton Fithian, Who will at the
next term of court becalled upon to
prosecute the cases against Pierce, at
that time defended him. Mr.. Fithian
had been admitted to ths BAR in Feb
ruary of 1895 and was assigned to the
defense of Pierce.
Another strange coincidence is that
the present county clerk, Mr.. Samuel
M. Sheldon, was the forman of the
jury who brought Pierce'fA guilty for
his first prison sentence-g
Pierce was indicted on khree counts
for obtaining money undsr false ne
tese, and was convicted on all thre'
counts.
He was sentenced u five years Il

BIG FEATURE FILM AT MAJESTIC
"Athaliah," Queen Of Judea, A Color
ed Film Greater Than Cleopatra.

"Athaliah," queen of Judea-A
colored film greater than Cleopatra.
The Bible story "Athaliah, queen
of Judea is a magnificent production
of Jean Racine's immortal tragedy
of the same name, being the climax
in the life of Judea's crulest queen,
showing her great remorse at the
murder of forty-two of her relatives,
by which she secured the throne, and
her final overthrow by the High
Priest, who secretly had raised the
one remaining prince of the House
of Ahab. Athaliah is one of the
most magnificent colored pictures
that was ever shown on the screen
and the acting and staging are per-
feet.
In connection with this film will
be shown very funny comedy en-
titled "Their Mother-in-law."
Remember the Majestic theatre is
equipped with an exhaust fan which
keeps the air fresh and cool all the
time. Three shows every night:
7:45, $3.50 and 9:2O.
