FOR FIVE YEARS.
Charley Bray Rocked Street Car
And Must. Serve Term in
Penitentiary For Offense.
Charley Bray threw a rock into an
electric car last Friday night as it was
coming down Green street toward the
city, and it came very near hitting
Miss Lillian Dickinson of Bainbridge,
who was a passenger on the car. The
rock was thrown with terrific force,
and being a large rock would have se
riously hurt the young lady had it
struck her. Tt made a considerable
indentation upon the seat it struck.
Charley Bray was the only person
seen near the car, and the police ar
rested him at an early hour Saturday
morning, and locked him in the sta
tion. The grand jury was in session
and promptly indicted him Saturday
morning, and he was put on trial late
Saturday afternoon for assault with
intent to murder. The jury found him
guilty, but recommended that he be
punished as for a misdemeanor. Ow
ing to the gravity of the offense, Judge
Kimsey disregarded the recommenda
tion and sentenced him to serve a term
of five years in the penitentiary.
CANDIDATES IN PLENTY-
Several Lawyers Will Try For
Judge and Solicitorship Hall City
Court, if Bill Becomes a Law
If the bill providing for the election
of Judge and Solicitor of Hall city court
by the people is signed by Governor
Terrell, there will be candidates in
plenty for the above offices. The elec
tion will be held next October, and al-
read3 7 the prospective candidates are
mixing with the people, shaking hands
with the voters and kissing the babies.
Those who will in all probability, be
candidates for judge are Messrs G. H.
Prior, J. C. Boone and G. K. Looper.
The candidates for solicitor, or those
whose names have been mentioned in
this connection, are Messrs. F. M.
Johnson, W. B. Sloan, W. I. Hobbs and
B. P. Gailliard.
There will be “something doing,” to
say the least of it, if the bill become s
a law. It has already passed the house
and senate and only needs the signa
ture of the governor to become a law.
