CHARGED WITH STEALING |
; SHOES; WAS ACQUITTED
Claimed That He Found the Footwear
: By the Roadside.
In the future there is no doubt
that Arthur Lee Foy, a negro, will
be sure to inquire concerning the own
ership of any footwear he may happen
to find lying by the roadside instead
of appropriating and carrying the
boots home.
A commitment trial was held before
Justice of the Peace J. W. Peddy on
Wednesday afternoon at which Ar
thur was charged with stealing the
shoes in question. From the evidence
it seems that he came upon a pair of
shoes unawares on the side of a field
on - the farm of Mr. J. R. Mercer, and
not seeing the owner about he quick
ly came to the decision that the shoes
should become his by right of dis
covery. However, complications set
in, due to the fact that the shoes were
missed and evidently had not been
left in the field as was claimed.
The evidence was not sufficient to
convict, so Arthur was discharged
with a warning to the effect that he
should be careful in the future about
appropriating any article he might
“find-)i

CITY ENRICHED $4OO
’
BY MAYOR’S COURT
MANY OFFENDERS HAILED
BEFORE BAR OF JUTICE ON
MONDAY MORNING. °
A heterogenous collection of offend
ers of the law were hailed before
Mayor A. L. McLendon on Monday
morning on charges ranging from
speeding to inciting a pear war,
About seventy gasol‘inc destroyers
received special invitations to attend
the matinee and at 9 o’clock, when
the curtain was scheduled 'to rise, it
was necessary to hang out the “stand
ing room only” sign. |
When the misions of the law had
arranged themselves comfortably in
their accustomed places the judicial'
mill was put in motion and fines dealt
out with lavish hand. Each one of the
so-called offenders, who ranged from
habitual speeders to the clerk of the
court himself, received fines according
to the rate they were traveling. Fines
ranged from $2.50 to $l5, and those
who were charged with more than
one offense were fined for each indis
cretion.
John Hill and Charlie Jackson, ne
groes, were fined $7.50 each for try
ing to settle fheir own disturbances
without the aid of the law but in the
primeval method of utilizing any
weapon that was handy.
The case that held the spotlight of
the matinee, however, and which just
iy had the most important place on
the program was the case of the city
versus F. W. Herman and S. Pearl
man for disorderly conduct, arising
from alleged infringing on sale adver
tising methods. The mayor at first
decided, after a casual glance at the
large array of witnesses, to turn the
case over to the league of nations, but
after remembering that this tribunal
had accomplished nothing to speak
of since its organization, he determin
ed to try the case himself.
Mr. Herman entered a plea of guil
ty and Mr. Pearlman countered with
a plea of not guilty. At the gong Mn,
Pearlman, ably seconded by his attor
ney, led off with his account of the
fracas. More seconds were then
brought in and some fast returns on
the part of both combatants Mr. Her
man came up for the final with his
statement of the difficulty. At this
juncture while one of the policemen
was sent for reinforcements the con
flicting sides fell into a clinch over a
minor phase of the law. Referce Mc
lendon then decided this point and
both sides sparred warily until the
concluding witnesses gave their testi
mony.
With pated breath the whole -audi
ence listened intently to hear the rei
dering of the decision and were sur
prised to hear the referee pronounce
it a draw, one draw having already
been recorded earlier in the case by
one of the offenders in reference to
a gun whigh had been called into
play. Mr. Herman was fined $35 and
Mr. Pearlman $25 their antes with
the addition of the fines of the speed
ers having brought in around $4OO to
the coffers of the city.
