man Smith had reached the position
of congressman of the United States
by one of those strange fukes that
happen often in politics.
He had been nominated in a rock
bound Republican state to lead the

party, and through a split among the
Republicans was elected quite as
much to his surprise as to that of his
constituents.
He was a young mana hard
working lawyer of small practice. He
was married to a sweet, young wom-

billions and he had one son, a beau

He had not expected to open his

.The Little River Circuit Court clos eG "Wednesday after term lasting two and half weeks. With the close of tha Roberts and James case the court was practically over. A few motions in civil cases and then the aC;curnment.
 This court wi l be ncted for it's large number of felony convictions, and will probably go down into his tory in tha, respect. There was one death sentence, and ten sentences to the state penitentary, three of these were fer life terms, and seven for shorter terms. There were many con- victions and pleas of guilty in nisde- meanors.

It fell to his lot to represent the state in scma of the most sensat- ional cases in the history of the state. He introduced his witnesses and pre- sented the testimony like the unrav- , cling of story.

 After Three Weeks work.

At the conclusion of the last e the make the January term of the Little River Circuit Court one long to be re- memEcred, Willie (Rusty) Rober s, and Charlie James, alias Blackie May field, were found guilty of assault up on Gera dine and Pearle Ray, negro girls, aged 14 and 12 respectively, and sentenced to life Imprisonment The cease ven. to the jury at 5:30 Tuesday evening, and the verdict was rendered at 9:30 Tuesday night. It was freely rumored over town that the first bal lot found the jury 10 for the death penalty and 2 for life Imprisonment Later pallets reduced it to tie and the life imprisonment penalty was fin ally agreed upon as a compromise There was no division as 10 guilt or innocence. The two men sat through l the trlal without apparent emotion. At2oberts seemed to be bubbling over with amusement a part of the time.
 The defense again attempted to prove an alibi by showing that the de- fentlants were attending the street carnival at the time the crime was Of eye witnesses overwhelmed the i cniy hope of the defense and brought it crumbling down like house of cards. The only question in the minds Of the great crowds in attendance dur ing the hearing was whether the jury would send the men to the chair or lc them off with a lie sentence.
 Red EdwarCs, a third member of the party wh2j held up the party of twenty CT more negroes, was given the same sentence last week. Ed wards had young wife, having been only recently married. The other two were sing e Not much is known of James, which is probably not his real name.

D. Waldrop and others. According to this atement it had been understood by him that | they were going out to have q game. On reaching the spot by the roadside it was decided that money could be made fas CT by robbery. One excess followed another. The climax of the wild night, the assault upcn the girls was not included in the statements made by Roberts to the offices.
 Both Geraldine and Pcarlo Ray tes-
 flied against Roberts and Canes. and identified them as being the one who assau ted them.
