in charge of the probation officer, with
out imposing costs.
Clifford Brown was called to answer
an indictment charging him with high.
way robbery. Prosecutor Kelsey read
the portion of the indictment which re-
lated to assault, which must necessarily
accompany highway robbery, but die
not continue the entire reading. Brown
confessed his inability to plead. Finally
the matter was Strengthened out SO thai
the entire crime was made plain to him
and he pleaded not guilty.
Charles w. Harmed appeared on 8
waiver of indictment. He was charged
with carrying concealed deadly weapons
and making threats against Howard
Stapleton. Harmed pleaded guilty tt

ally, that he had been employed by

Holly and that he had been working
about the time of the fire at the mill
Stevenson told his story, which was tina
h. lii =
ing for his pay for labor that he had per
formed and that he picked up the piec,
of wire which was about two feet long
and as the indictment said 'of the value
less than a dollar. Stevenson sale
that when he went after his pay he hat
the wire under, his coat but so that
could easily be seen. He had INTENDED
to ask Mr.. Royle to give it to him bu
before he could do SO the latter saw tn,
wire, and at his request Stevenson pull
ed it out. The entire transaction tool
place in the daytime and there was M
attempt at concealment. 1t seems tina
there had been thefts of larger amounts
of wire but they could not be. traced t.
Stevenson.
Mr.. Slaughter contended that the goot
character of the defendant should hav'
some weight together with the fact tina
what he did took place in broad day
light. Other wire that had been stoleI
created no bearing on this case; also, Mr
Slaughter continued, that it was ques
ton as to whom the wire in evidenc
belonged, the mill company o
the insurance company. He thought i
