NOTORIOUS TIGER
AGAIN IN THE TOLLS
Walter HObb, Who Was PardOned by
Governor, Again Sentenced for Sell

Durham, Oct. 12.-Walter Hobbs,
the famous crippled blind tiger of this
city, who was granted q conditional
pardon about a year ago, was caught
again last night with the wet goods
in his place, and this morning was
given twelve months on the roads.
He took ar appeal. Hobbs was ap-
pretended at his old stand in North
Durham, and when the police Off
GERS Ia a search Of his premises
they found a tub Of cold beer, and
$50 half pints Of whiskey.
Walter Hobbs is one Of the most
notorious blind tigers OF the city, and
a constantly been in trouble since
the enactment Of the prohibition law.
He is a paralytic and gets about with
great difficulty. He is a very shrewd
negro, and for a long time eluded the
officers. Finally, however, about two
years ago they worked up q case
against him, and when he was on
victed for this one. fourteen others
were easily proved against him. He
went to the Superior court with all
these, and the judge gave him three
years on the roads. He served eight
cen months Of his sentence, n was
then granted a pardon on condition
that he keep out Of trouble. There
were vigorous protests on the part OF
the police officers against this pardon,
and the officers still hold a grudge
against the governor for granting this
pardon.
