DISMISS CHARGES
AGAINST OFFICIALS
Butcher Drops Case of Wilson
Mayor and Councilmen
After Amusement

ID. W. Butcher. justice Of the peace.
before whom tbe examining trials Of
the city officials of Wilson were tried
fsome days ago. handed down his opin.
ion this afternoon in which the case
against each defendant was dismissed.
In this trial criminal charges had
been filed against Mayor Isaac Rob.
erts, Councilmen r. II. Reed, Mont
Wallace and John Lively charging
misappropriation OF public funds Spe-
officially the charge was that these men
had used $500 of the public funds Of
the city to hire attorneys to defend a
night watchman of the city who had
killed man
Judge Butcher made no comment
upon the case in announcing the dis
missal of the charges. but the pre-
sumption is that the evidence did not
justify the charge in the opinion of the
court, and IL is also quite likely that
the evidence seemed to indicate that
town fight was on and the charges
were brought hastily and without due
consideration.
Mayor Roberts, in speaking Of the
case before the opinion was rendered.
stated that he knew he and the coun-
cilmen would not be convicted, that
he chad done no wrong, that he had
lived in this country great many
years without having committed any
crimes and he knew that he would not
be punished by the courts of hia
country

Babe Ruth, as he popped his head out
