LEE BREAKS RECORD
Cleared (f a Charge Monday and Two
Honrs Later Is In Jail
SENTENCED TO 12 MONTBS IN GANG
Stole a Bo t of Cloth From Rosenberg’s
and Was Caught Red-Handed in the
Act—The Day in City Court.
John Lee, colored, succeeded in
breaking into the chaingang yester
day afternoon.
Monday afternoon he was found not
guilty of certain charges in city court.
Judge Harris felt sure of the negro’s
guilt, but the jury’s verdict cleared
him. As Lee left the court room late
Monday afternoon, with a smile over
spreading his [face, Judge Harris
called after him.
“Nevermind, old fellow, I’ll get
another chance at you yet.”
His words were as a prophecy. Be
fore the shadows of night bad fal
len over Rome and its mud, Lee was
again resting behind the bars of Floyd
county jail, a very short while after
he left the court bouse a free man, he
went into M. Roienburg’s store. Wnen
he departed .a few minutes later a
bolt of clothed was under bis arm,
and he had made no deposit of a cash
eqival n for the same, watchful eyes
detected the theft, however, and as
Lee reached the sidewalk cries of
“stop thief, stop thief I” assailed his
ears.
Lee didn’t stop just then. He ca
reered down Broad street like a quar
ter horse and hot foot behind him
came Louis Rosenberg add his uncle.
Policeman Collier stopped gazing out
on the sea of mud and caught the cry
of the chase. A few seconds later he
caught the coon.
Lee fell sprawling on the sidewalk
and tried the “very drunk” racket.
It wouldn’t work, and he was locked
up.
Yesterday afternoon he was placed
on trial again in city court. It took
about half an hour to convict him.
“Stand up Lee,” said Judge Harris.
Lee stood up.
“I’ll just sentence you to twelve
months in the chaingang,” said his
honor.
Pinkey Johnson was found guilty
yesterday and fined $lO and all costs.
Robert Russell, colored, stole a set
of harness from Dr. Hammond, and
was convicted for the same in the city
court yesterday. He was was fined
sls and all costs or 4 months in the
