OTHER WARRANTS

Having failed to appear for trial
yesterday morning, Mr.. S. w. Wilt
ford, bondsman for Louis Myers, de-
rendant in seven OF the liquor eases
In the recorders court, paid into the
city treasury of the, city of Anderson
the sum Of 5000 Mr., Wiiiiford says
that he will ofeer d. reward CT sl0o
for the apprehension of Myers and
that he will do fything possjble
to bring him back ia Anderson. So
far az the city IS concerned these
cases have been settled and Mr.. viii
liford can only. took to Myers for the
recovery Of the amount of the bond
paid out for him.
Myers was arrested on seven
charges. and the city attorney an
nounced yesterday that there are yet
several warrants against him which.
fhave not been served. The idea OF
going ahead and trying Myers even
after his bond has. been paid is to
get the records complete now.
The Afternoon Session.
AT the afternoon session OF the re-
corder's court yesterday City Attof1
ney Sullivan announced that he had
dismissed one Of the four remaining
cases of the city VS.. Louis r. Myers;
thus leaving for trial only three cases,
all OF similar character and charg-
Ing the defendant with keeping and
maintaining place in which alco-
holic liquors and beverages were re-
ceived and kept for sale.
The case dismissed was the one in
the warrant OF which the defendant
was charged, substantially, with keep
ing a place where people rescrted for
the purpose of drinking alcoholic in
toxicating liquors, wines or beers,
matted. brewed or OF vinuous charac-
ter. Attorney Sullivan gave as his
reason for the dismissal, of this case,
that he did not wish to embarfass @
number Of young men In the city who
had been in the habit of resortfng 60
Myers club, by summoning them as
witnesses. This has been in line with
Mr.. Sullivan's lenient desire to be as
reasonable as possible with all, and
to make out the city's cases with
the least possible embarrassment to

ing into one OF these places. q moral

The three remaining cases while In
effect were tried together were in
reality SO far as the record Will show;
tried separately and distinct, ii sep
arate record OF. each case being order:
ed on each warrant.
Mr.. Dagnall demurred to the juris5
diction of tie court In each of the
three cases, as he has previously.
done, claiming that w. H. Frierson
Esq, aud not Hon. d. G. Russell, is
the proper qualified recorder; he al
SO interposed pleas of FORMER jeo-
pardy as heretofore. except that he.
made his plea stronger than he has
heretofore done. since he claims that

in other words that there would have

consulate the crime, and that being
so that ali of the offenses so consti-
