THK COLLIBR’B STATION BXPBKBB
CASE DP IN OODRT.
Horton’a Case Taken Dp First—He
Pleads Not Guilty—The Accused
Makes Himself Blck by Eating
Tobacco to Secure Delay but the
Court Not to be Tricked.
Forsyth, Ga., Not. 25.—The case against
D. b. Horton, Ben Thornton and Josh
Braswell, charged with robbing an express
ear on Aug. 20 last, was called to-day. The
parties severed on the trial and D. B. Hor
ton was formally arraigned and pleaded not
guilty. The state is represented by Solicitor
General Womack, Hon. F. D. Dismukee of
Griffin, Hoo. F. G. dußiguon of Savannah
and Cabaniss & Willingham of Forsyth.
The defense is well cared for by Hines
& Felder of Atlanta, Col. J. A. Roberson of
Sandersville and Boiner & Bloodworth of
Forsyth.
By 2 o’clock a jury was obtained and the
case against D. B. Horton was formally
opened. Several witnesses were sworn for
the prosecution.
Horton moved to continue his case for the
term because he was too unwell to go to
trial The motion was overruled, it ap
pearing to the court that Horton had been
eating tobacoo In order to make himself
sick.
STORY OF THE MESSENGER.
Messenger Byne, who had charge of the
ear that was robbed, gave a full aocount of
how the parties entered his car at Collier’s
station w ith pistols drawn and ordered him
to opeu the safe, and to do it “ quick."
He could not Identify any of the parties, as
they were masked wueu they came in, but
the sis* of Horton led him to believe that
Horton wa3 one of the men, and that they
took from him by foroe $2,474 15. The
messenger also told how they pulled down
the train and jumped off.
The case is thoroughly worked up, and
witnesses are not wanting to fasten the
crime on the guilty parties.
CONDUCTOR MOORE’S EXPERIENCE.
A. J. Moore, a conductor on the through
freight from Macon to Atlanta, testified to
putting off these men at Boltngbi oke. They
said they wanted to go to Atlanta. He tes
tified that when he found them they were
riding in a oar that had been used for haul
ing lime. He identified one of them as Ben
Thornton. The conductor had a lantern at
the time. This lantern was the key that
unraveled the mystery and led to the arrest
of all the parties. In their aagernees to
board the train at Collier's on the night of
the robbery they dropped their lantern,
which was found the next morning covered
with lime. This gave a clew to start with
and Conductor Moore was sought, and from
him it was discovered that the parties had
on the night before the robbery stolen a ride
on a lime car, that he bad put them off at
Bolingbroke and that one of them was lien
Thornton, who oarried a lantern which cor
responded in every respect with the one
fouud at the station the next morning.
THORNTON ARRESTED.
Tbis fastened suspicion strongly on
Thornton, and an Investigation showed that
on the morning after the robbery Thornton
went to his home in this county, at Bmars
station, nnd his clothes were oovered with
lime. Thornton was arrested and from him
the officers received something over S9OO
of the money. Thornton confessed all and
told who his accomplices were. Horton
and Brazwell were then arrested and about
$1,400 was recovered from them.
The case will consume at least two more
days. It is exciting great interest and
drawing immense crowds. Suob cases are
not common in Georgia, and especially in so
conservative a county as Monroe.
FAITHFUL RELATIVES.
Horton’s uncles are here and seem (de
termined eo sec him through his trouble.
Thornton’s father and mother and sisters
are standing by him. A solitary feeble and
infirm old lady, the mother of Joseph
Brazwell, also stands by not an uninterested
spectator, hoping something will crop out
that will help her erring boy.

Knives as Their Booty.

the cause, but were unable to find where
the explosion bad occurred until tbis morn
ing, when it was found that O. B. Bennett’s
hardware house had been entered by burg
lars and his safe blown open. The work is
acknowledged one of the neatest jobs ever
seen in this section by those who wit
nessed the wrecked safe to-day. Mr. Bennett
had just deposited in bank all the money
he had on hand exoept about $35 left in the
safe and $5 in change left in the cash
drawer. The burglars secured $.30 In cash.

A NEW YORK BRUTE.
Charges Pressed by August Rafelsen,
Who Had Little Cause.
From the St. Louie Republic.
New York, Nov. 30.—A1l sorts of casss
illustrative of the peouliar wsys of the in-
habitants ef cosmopolitan Nsw York corns
up daily in the police courts and are treated
with stoicism by the justices. In tbs special
sessions to-day, howevsr, ons was brought
to light which mads the faces of the judges
harden as they listened to the complain
ant’s story. Befoi e he had finished his
charge, which was of larceny, It was dear
to all that they bad made up their minds
in favor of the defendant, a pretty girl,
who was sobbing as if her heart would
break. She was accused by her employer
with having stolen 10 cents’ worth of dress
lining.
The girl's accuser is August Rafelsen, a
manufacturer of infants’ and children’
clothing at No. 481 Broadway, and the un
fortunate victim, Catherine Ryan. To the
court the girl, who was weeping hysteri
cally, said that, needing a doth to hold her
flat-iron while pressing otothing upon whioh
she was at work, she picked up the lining
from the floor. She did not suppose she was
doing auy wrong.
Every one in oourt expected that the
charge would be withdrawn, but Rafalsen
insisted on pressing the case. The court
was, therefore, obliged to find the girl
guilty on her own admission, and imposed
ihe lightest sentence possible—one day in
the Tombs. Even the hardened keepers
were touched by the sad story of the girl,
who seemed to feel so keenly the ignominy
of her position, and dealt leniently with
her. At 4 o’clock they let her go
and she went quickly to her home,
on East Sixty-seventh street, where she was
found late this evening, her eyes rod and
swollen from o ntinued weeping. She could
not understand why she had been punished,
and indignantly denied that she had ever
stolen anything in her life. The girl’s
friends and former employers give her the
best of character, and are indignant at her
arrest.
Kafulsen was called upon at his place of
busluess late in the afternoon. He said he
was glad to have got rid of the girl. When
asked why he bad pressed the charge he
said ho believed she h-icgstolen two cloaks
and a pair of shears from him some time
ago. He qualified this statement, however,
ou being questioned, by saying that “some
one had stolen them,” aud he thought
“some one”ought to be punished.

PROVISION DIALERS PAIL.
Caaward tt Cos. of Baitlmora Makw an
AeeUrnment.
Baltimore, Md. , Nov. 25.—G. Canard
& Cos., big provision and pork dealers,
made an assignment for the benefit of their
creditor* this afternoon. Samuel Snowden,
an attorney waa made trustee, and gave
bond in $250,000. Tbe firm was one
of the beet known in the south.
It has been In business in this city
for a number of years and bad very
extensive nonneotions with the south and
west. Agencies for the sale of their packed
insets arc established in all of tbe larger
cities in the south. The firm is composed of
Mrs. Harriet B. t J. L, Louis, Jr., L. How
ard and Harry L. Cassarii. The founder of
tbe firm has been dead a number of years.
A COMPLETE SURPRISE.
The deed was not plaoed on record until
3 o’olook, and the announcement created the
greatest astonishment among the court offi
cials and business men who beard it. The
firm was supposed to be one of the most
stable in the city. Their brands of leaf
lard, hams, breakfast baoon and other varie
ties of cured pork are kuown all over tbe
oountry. Mr. Bnowden, the trustee, would
not make any statement, but a memorandum
of tbe firm plaoed the assets at about SIUO,-
OUO and tbe liabilities scarcely any larger.
The assignment was made for the equal
protection of the creditors, who are princi
pally Baltimore baoki. The firm will ask
for an extension. The failure was due. ao
cordiDg to a statement tfa member of tbe
firm, to the tightness of money.
A STEAMBOAT ENTERPRISE.
Some curiosity was • manifested on tbe
stre't to know whether or not Howard Cas
sard's steamboat enterprise had bad any.
tiling to do with embarrassing tbe firm.
The novel craft is namdd after one of its
members, and several of tbe partners are
said to hold a large portion of the stock.
It is not thought, however, that this alone
could have led to the suspension, as the
Cassards had not expected to reap any
immediate return from their investment
and would not likely have embarrassed
themselves by placing any more money
in the enterprise than under ordinary
circumstances they could have afforded.
Expressions of deen regret were heard on
all sides at the assignment among provision
men and other merchants. It was rumored
that several banks and business man had
offered to oombine to tide the firm over
their difficulties, but the offer was met by a
refusal, as they wished to make a Battle
ment.
CAUSED BY THE BOAT VENTURE.
Baltimore, Nov. 85, II p. m.— Members
of the firm said the assignment was caused
primarily by the firm’s connection with the
Arrow Steamship Company. The steamer
built by the oompany is named
the Howard Cassard. “Baltimore banks
are our principal creditors," said
one of tbe firm, “and they became
frightened wben the steamship was not an
immediate success. It was thought that we
were largely interested in the enterprise,
when, as a matter of fact, we have but a
small amount invested, and Howard Cas
sard Is not as large a stockholder as some
others.
PRESSED RY THE BANKS.
"The disposition of the banks to refuse us
accommodation was manifested about a
year ago, and has daily become more evi
dent. Our lines of credit have been re
duced generally and we have paid out be
tween $40,000 and $50,000 to some banks be
cause of the shrinkage in tbis oonnection.
The immediate cause of the assignment
was the disposition on the part of the banks
to press us. They refused to renew our
notes and we resolved to make an assign
ment in order to proteot all our creditors.
Our assets consist of stock in trade, the
property we occupy and considerable other
real estate, whioh in the aggregate is worth
much more than the amount of our liabili
ties. We will ask for an extension from
our creditors and hope to be able to oon
tinue the business."
FORECLOSED ON A PAPER
A Libel Suit Influenced the Creditor
to Push Hia Claim.
Duluth, Minn., Nov. 25. Sheriff
Bbarvy of this city took possession of the
Daily Tribune yesterday afternoon. J. J.
Hill, a railroad man, has held a mortgage
of $25,000 on the paper a long time, and
■for several months gave it substantial
backing, but the paper has
been gradually getting into deeper
water until Mr. Hill, to protect his inter
ests, has foreclosed the mortgage. This
simply means that Mr. Hill owns the en
tire paper, and F. B. Chipman will con
tinue to he manager. The libel suit of Con
tractors Zimmerman and Moore was to be
tried to-dy, hence the ohange in manage
ment at this time is partially explained.

Washington, Nov. 25.—Mr. Laoey, con
troller of the currency, was informed this
morning of tbe suspension of the First Na
tional Bank of Wilmington, N. C. He In
structed Bank Examiner Alaen to prooeed
from Washington at once to take charge of
the bank.
STATEMENT OP THE DIRECTORS.
The board of directors have given to the
press the following official statement con
cerning the bank: “The causes which led
to the suspension have existed a long while.
The capital was impaired by heavy losses
several years ago, as Is generally understood
from the fact that no dividends have been
declared since 1887. The directors hoped
that by careful management the earn
ings of the bank would be sufficient
in a few years to cover these
old losses, but slow collections in consequence
of the general stringency prevailing in our
section this fall have compelled them to
abandon this hope and close the bank to
proteot depositors as well as stockholders
against further risk. Notwithstanding the
shrinkage in many securities on account of
the general depression in business, it is
hoped that tbe resources of tbe bank under
prudent handling will yield more than
enough to pay the depositors in full.”
