JEW YS GENTILE.
An Interesting Case.
Last week a Jew peddler stayed over
night with Mr. John Hoes, of this
county. The next morning the peddler
had no money to settle bis bill, and Mr.
Hoes would not allow him to take away
his goods until the fare was paid. The
Jew went off to raise the necessary
money, and on his return found that his
trunk had been broken open a-d $52.90
worth of goods had been taken there¬
from. Upon search a portion
of the goods were found
in the possession of a negro. The negro
claimed that Mrs. Hoes had givei
him the goods and told him to keep
them.
The peddler came to Knoxville ami
had warrants sued out for the negro,
Mr. and Mrs. Hoes. The case was set
for trial on Monday at 12 o’clock at
Knoxviile.
It created much excitement and Mon-
day the tow T n was full of people who
carne to hear the developments. A. J. Dan
Justices, O. C. Cleveland,
ielly, A. P. Spellers and A. F. Williams
presided. O. P. Wright, Ere]., Holleman, appeared
for the prosecution and Nath
Esq., for the defense. The defense
plead a demurrer on the ground that the
prosecutor was not a naturalized citizeu
of the United States and bad no righi to
prosecute the case. Tue demurrer was
overruled whereupon the defendant
waved trial and demanded indictm ntby
grand jury. They were all put uu-
der heavy bonds. nnd
The peddler has strong backing
they i re determined to press the matter
vigorously. It is a novel and interesting
ca-e.
Powell is the leader in low prices.
Just received a lot of spring
goods whieh I will sell at prices that
defy competition.—W. I. Powell.
