Stella Carlisle, 13-yr-old girl away
from the home of her father E. S.
Carlisle, at Entwistle, 1t was
charged that he carried her last
Saturday to the home Of his peo-
pie in Scotland county.
Sedberry & Phillips appeared
for Wright, who is % years old;
and w. X. Jones for the prosecu-
ton. The prosecution contended
that Wright abducted the girl;
while the defense tried to show
that the step.mother, brother
and father of the young girl
treated her so cruelty that the
girl went to Wright's relatives in
Scotland county to escape such
treatment.

girl to Scotland Saturday morn
ing, and left her there, he return
ing here that night. Arriving
home, the father had him arrest
ed, and now the trial.
Squire Barrett held the de.
cision up until he could hear ar,
