On the criminal docket, j. w. Den
man was acquitted by jury for muir
derous assault on R. M. Coltrin, after
more than day consumed in the trial.
After acquittal, Mr.. Denman plead
guilty of carrying concealed weapons
and was sentenced to thirty days con-
finemena in Jail. The judge in pro-
nOuncing the sentence said that he was
informed that Mr.. Denman was not a
wealthy man. and that he took into
consideration too, the fact that he had
been put to much expense and trouble
in making his defense in the other case.
Therefore he would impo5 Sc no fine, but
that in this case and in every other case
if in his court, if person is guilty of
carrying concealed weapons where the
weapon was used he would impose a
Jail sentence, no matter how prominent
the accused was.

trict Attorney, he had been employed
by Denman in the case. Henry Minor
was appointed District Attorney, pro
tenn, in that case but the appointment
was merely formal and the state was
represented by Hon. D. F. Allgood and
Hon. z. P. Landrum.
Will Triplett was tried for murder in
the first degree, for killing his father,
Henry Triplett, On the Hunter place

Chas. Strong and Iva l.. Dorroh who
were appointed by the court. They
succeeded in obtaining a verdict by con-
sent of guilty and fixing the penalty of
q life sentence in the penitentiary.
Willis Dickson, indicted for the kill
ing in Macon a few months ago of
Wiley Bush, plead guilty of man
slaughter. Mr.. Richardson, his at
torney, addressed the court in his behalf
and was followed by Hon. Harden
Brooks, District Attorney, and D. F.
Allgood, County Attorney, all of whom
spoke of the notoriously bad and dang
erous character of the killed man. and
the excellent reputation of the prisoner.
The facts in the case, and the charac-
ters of the two principals were such
that Messrs. Allgood and Brooks both
recommended the imposition of a fine
of $500. 90, half cash and half suspended
during good behavior. The court ac-
cepted their recommendation and such
was the sentence.
Tom Reed, for burglarizing w. V.
/ Stewards store, was sent to the peni-
tentiary for five years, and his associate
Will Baldwin for four years.
