COURT MAY co
OVER WEEK TO
OBLICEFARMERS
Judge Indicates Such an
Order-Many Indict-
ments Returned

After several civil matters had
been disposed of, Judge Littlejohn
Monday evening dismissed the ira
verse jurJ called for the first week of
the Superior court for the term. Dur
Irg the remainder of the week only
matters not requiring jury will be
taken up.
The grand jury, which was busy all
day Monday, continued to grind out
indictments today, and there was no
indication when it might finish the
business before it. Some court at
taches were of the opinion it might
recess tonight until some later date
during the term.
Judge Littlejohn stated today that
he had almost made up his mind to
recess court next week until the fol
lowing week, in which case all jurors
summoned for next Monday will be
expected to report one week later.
"The farmers need every minute
they can get just now in harvesting
their grain" said Judge Littlejohn.
''There is a lot of grain in this local
ity, and it must be gathered when it
is ready. | am very much inclined to
declare a recess of one week begin
ming next Monday, and not take up
the criminal cases until the following
Monday. No new jury panel will be
drawn, in case this is done, but the
same men who have been summoned
will be expected to report for duty
one week later. Definite announce
ment will be made later this week
Numerous indictments have been
returned by the grand jury, but only
a few of them were permitted to be-
come public today, the sheriff keeping
secret those in which arrests had
not been made or in which the parties
we're not already under bond.
Among those indicted were two white
men, NJ. E. Gray. alias c. L. Grady,
illegal checks, three counts; Robert
Clark. of near Leslie, burglary. One
murder accusation was returned
against Jonas jackson, an old negro,
held for the death of his wife short
time ago.
Following are the indictments given
out:
Booker T. Sanders q }, Geo. Ny
ers (2), Morris Johnson, burglary.
Quallis Stevens, making liquor and
having whisky.

because no one realized the treach-
cry until it was too late.
The homecoming of President
Carranza came in the early hush OF
the morning. There were no regl,
ments of guards to meet him. There
were no bands of music, no colorfuI
crowds to cheer; instead, a dlngy lit
tie train of three simple coaches bear
ing the plain casket, crept to cross
ing near the station, and a few still
loyal soldiers stepped FORTH, dirty
sombreros in their hands, as the sole
guard of honor
The Last Honors.
They presented arms while the
box, draped in the colors of Mexico
was lowered to the arms Of six pri-
Yates who had stuck to the last.
Gathered about the train were
members of the diplomatic corps,
sleepy-eyed from their long vigil II
the station. That was all there was
to remind a casual passer-by that the
body of a martyred president was
being brought into the capital over
which he had ruled.
The little procession, augmented
by a few early risers and street
cleaners, passed down the street
while a few bugles played a mourn
full dirge, marching between rows OF
workers who barred their heads as the
cortege passed. .,
As they neared the presidential
palace. the tension came to a dra-
matte climax. A shrill cry broke out
from a girl watching from window

him. -.
It was Carranza's daughter, Vir.

1t was a theatrical finale to pitt
full tragedy of lost hopes and betray-
ais that had, even during the last few
hours. turned Carranza fine up

Iorn. old man, deserted by those
whom he had trusted, and cast off by
