AN UNUSUAL CASE
IN CIRCUIT COURT
Two Men Arrested for Mis-
demeanor, After Trial
Date Was Set. ..

Almost six hours before Clarence
Ringley and Jamest Stanley knew they
were to be charged with misdemean-
or, and consequently before they had
an opportunity to consult an attor-
ney, their trial had been set in the
circuit court. They appeared in the
circuit court room Friday and we're
released on their own recognizance.
They were charged with hauling too
heavy a load of corn on the country
turnpikes.
usual in any criminal cases which has
been in the circuit court in years.
Ordinarily an accused person has
some rights in arranging for his trial
and defense.
Sheriff Steen, who was eletced as
has made complaint because automo-
bile service is not furnished him by
the county, made the arrest. Pros
ecuting Attorney Charles Ladd. who
had the trial date set, declares that
the information against the two men
was given him last week and he filed
the affidavits against Ringley and
Stanley then. He understands the
warrants for their arrest were pre-
pared then but no action toward re-
serving them was taken until after
their trial had been arranged.
Ringley and Stanley are in the EN-.
ployment of R. G. Leeds, at his farm
south of the city. In December, in re-
plenishing the corn supply, they drove
ON the country turnpikes with too
heavy a load, according to the ailega-
tons in the affidavit
