TIE SINGLETON CASE.
The Governor. the Attorney Gen.
eral and Others Visit Conway.

eral and Others t1S1tSOnfdy.
On last Monday morning the
court week crowd were surprised
to learn that Governor Cole L
Blease, his former law partner, Fred
H Dominick, and the Governors
lieutenant on the floor of the House
of Representatives. George R REM
bert, had arrived in Conway the
night before, accompanying Thos H
Peoples, the Attorney General of
the State.
Thos H Peoples had come for the
purpose of prosecuting the case of
the State VS. L B Singleton on a
serious charge for which the defend
ant had not long since been bound
over to court. As the defendant
was Solicitor the law required that
the case should be prosecuted by
the Attorney General acting in this
instance instead of the Solicitor. 1t
was understood that the others men,
toned came as friends of the &C.
cused Solicitor. There was no other
ground upon which their presence
could be accounted.
HH Woodward, of the Conway
bar, had been retained by the prose-
cutrix to prosecute this case in the
court. He expected to act with the
Attorney General, giving him the
benefit of what had been done to-
ward getting the case in readiness
for trial. He was of course acting,
and expected to act throughout the
case from a professional standpoint
only, just as he has done in many
cases. But just after court had
been called to order. the Attorney
General called H H Woodward aside
and stated that he (the Attorney
General) would manage the case
alone, and that he (the Attorney
General) would rather Mr. Wood
ward had nothing to say in the case.
When asked if he wanted him to
withdraw from the case, the At
torney General answered that he
could just sit there and listen. Fur
ther conversation developed the
fact that the Attorney General in
tended to take entire charge of the
case and that he did not intend that
the local attorney should do more
than keep his seat, having nothing
to say in relation to the conduct of
the case, and being in it in name
only.
A few minutes after that the local
attorney sent a note to his client,
the prosecutrix, stating that owing
to the above stated circustances he
was compelled to withdraw from
the case.
On Monday morning, the husband
of the prosecutrix, a material wit
ness in the case, was seriously i'll.
When time came to send the case to
the grand jury, the prosecutrix sent
note or word by the Sheriff that if
she could not have her own attorney
in the case she did not care to 60
on with it, as it appeared the prose
cution would be in the hands of the
friends of the defendant and she
wanted fair show, or words to
that effect.
D Gordon Baker, one the at
torneys for the defendant. moved to
discharge the defendant when the
States witnesses were called and

THE CROP MARKETS
Grains All Reach Lower Levels
Coffee Receivers.

Again the pressure OF supplies drove
down the prices of grain fair export
business in wheat being insufficient TO
hold up the market against the increasing
stocks both here and abroad. The close OF
trading found wheat prices net SG&c
down; corn had dropped lsa%c, and oats
were of lGllsc, with stop loss orders I'M
covered on the scale down. There was
nothing In the news to influence prices ex-
cept the increase In supplies and stories
OF large quantities to come forward.
Buying by Brazilian interests and pessi-
mistic reports regarding the crop situation
sent the trend of values in the coffee mar
ket upward In yesterdays trading, and.
with slight reaction near the close last
prices were net to II points above those
Of Tuesday. The price situation at pres
ent appears to hinge on the october now-
ering of the Brazilian crop. which so far
has been very unsatisfactory.
