that has attended term of the Su-

John Ross and Frank GLADDEN. were
tried for the murder Of John Dixon

this week. At that time the court
room would not accommodate the peo-
pie and this was true this week when
so many came to hear the evidence in
the Richards-Lutz cutting affair. 1t
required an hour or more to get jury

Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday
morning. Solicitor r. L. Hoffman of
Morganton was assisted in the prose-

o. NJ. Gardner while Attorney d. z.
Newton represented the Richards broth
ers. The attorneys fought the case
bitterly and made powerful speeches
to the jury.
