Some excellent sport is reported
by those from Chesterfield who
participated in the hunt. There
were 53 dogs in one pack, obvi

BRiCE FOUND GUILTY;
SENTENCED TO DEATH

After a spirited battle by his
attorneys to secure setting
aside of the verdict, Wylie Brice,
colored, was sentenced by Judge
Webb Monday to Gle in the
electric chair at Raleigh on
November 5 for criminal as
sault.
Sentence was pronounced at
| O'Clock in tt t.. afternoon, fol-
lowing an ar ,ument which was
sensational N the extreme. On
the one ,lde were ranged Messrs.
F'' m NJ. Shannonhouse and
j. ID. Mccall, appointed counsel
for the negro who was con-
vlcted Saturday night of at
tacking a siX-year-old white girl,
and on the other were Messrs.
John A. Parker and William M.
Wilson, prosecuting attorneys
retained by the friends and rela-
tives of the little girl.
The defense contended that
the court should accept the plea
Of guilty of an attempted assault
and impose the maximum SEN
tence of ID years in the peni-
tentiary. 1t was argued that
there was no evidence which
would warrant the verdict which
the jury had returned. Judge
Webb admitted that the case
had given him some concern,
but said the matter was one for
the jury to determine, with the
Jurymen was the responsibility
and the blame if an untrue ver-
dict had been rendered. Char

GERMANY STANDS READY
TO TALK PEACE TERMS?

Washington dispatches say the
United States will make no fur
ther efforts to bring about peace
in Europe until it has received
information that its good Offices
will be welcomed by both sides
of the conflict. This was said
authoritatively in Washington
Friday in official discussion Of
the message from Pope Bene-
dict, delivered to President Will
son by Cardinal Gibbons.
From the fact that the vatican
is in close touch with Austria,
the construction placed by off
cials on the Pope's message is
that the Germanic powers would
be willing to discuss peace at
this time.
1t was stated by those in clos
est touch with the administration
that similar word will have to be
received from Great Britain and
her allies before the president
will make any further move.
President Wilson has made it
clear several times that his orig
inal offer of services to bring
about peace still stands and that
and that he will do everything
possible to further the move
ment. The United States, how
ever, will do nothing likely to
endanger its position as a friend
to all belligerents, it was said
authoritatively.
The Pope's message was not
made public by this government,
but enough of the contents of
the message is known to give
basis for indication that Austria,
Germany and Turkey are not ad-
verse to discussing peace.

ATTEMPTED ASSAULT
ON SHARON WOMAN

A lorkville special of Monday
to the Charlotte Observer stated
that the wife of highly es-
teemed citizen of Sharon, seven
miles west of Yorkville. was
the victim of an attempted as
sault by a negro while the woman
was visitor at the home of her
brother who resides on one of
the principal streets Of the town
of Sharon. The victim was so
badly frightened that she is
unable to give an intelligent
description of her assailant,
further than that he wne - '
and wore a blue shirt. One
suspect has been arrested, but
is not believed to be the guilty
party at this time. Another
that is believed to be the one
who committed the crime is
being searched for by a posse of
several hundred men. Blood
hounds are on the ground from
Rock Hill and Gastonia. There
is no reason to doubt that if the
posse catch the negro that it
believes to be the guilty one that
he will be lynched, notwithstand-
ing the fact that Sheriff Brown
is on the ground and will do
what he can to prevent the law
from being ignored.
