Hall superior court, January
term 1902, convened last Monday
morning with Judge J. B. Estes on
the bench. Solicitor General Char
ters is on hand representing the
state.
The grand jury was organized
with Mr. E. P. Chambers as fore
man, and Mr. W. W. Cooper as sec
retary. The folio wing bailiffs
were «worn in to wait on the court:
Jv K. Bucket, J. S. Lathem, N. C.
Odell, P. E. Patterson and Prank
Whelchel. Judge Estes delivered
a lengthy charge to the grand jury
after which that body retired to
their room and began its duties.
The civil docket was taken up
Monday and is still being heard
there being many civil cases to be
considered. The criminal dock^
et will perhaps be reached today or
Monday. -o -

Sheriff M. O. Gilmer has sought
to discharge Deputy Sheriff J. A*
Lyle, and has served him with no
tice to vacate the. jail instanter.
Deputy Sheriff Lyle retaliates by
refusing to get out and drawing a
contract entered into between him
self and Gilmer when they com
bined forces in 1900 and ran for
sheriff and deputy sheriff to de
feat A. J. Mundy. That was last
week, and .charges and counter
charges have been made by both
since the row started.
Las t Monday the January term
of Hall superior court opened and
Gilmer complained to Judge . Es
tes that Lyle would not let him
go to the jail for,prisoners andbad
refused to vacate his office after
he had ordered him to do so.
Judge Estes thereupon took a hand
in the g8me and instructed Gil
mer co go to the jail, demand the
keys of Lyle, and if he refused to
do so to summon a possee and, if
it took every man in Hall county,
ariest’Lyl© and bring him before
the court. f|Lyle heard What the
Judge said and going from the
court room to the jail, reached
there before Gilmer and his crowd
got there. When Gilmer Came up,
he demanded the keys of Lyle, who
requested a receipt from Gilmer
for them, which was given. Lyle
remains in the jail, but is bereft
of all authority. He says he will
not now get out of the jail until
he is put out by legal process.
Lyle will now institute legal
proceedings against jGilmer for
damages, etc. He has employed
Cols. H. H. Perry/ Howard
Thompson and P. M. Johnson.
The fight promises to be an inter
esting one.
Lyle has a contract duly drawn,
“signed, sealed and delivered,”
with Gilmer which shows how
they combined forces two years ago
to defeat “Andy” Mundy for sher
iff. The contract shows they were
willing to make any kind of deal,
“holy or ubholy,” to accomplish
their purpose and, although they
succeeded, they will not profit by
it, for Gilmer has so far gotten
nothing out of the office, and now
he kicks Lyle out Aud the latter
will get no more. The contract
was to the effect that in consider
ation of Lyle’s withdrawal from
the race for sheriff, he was to run
as deputy on Gilmer’s ticket, was
to live m the jail and receive all
fees and compensations arising
therefrom, and was to receive in
addition half the fees of the sher
iff’s office at the court house. Gil
mer was to be sheriff in name and
receive half the fees from the
courthouse office. Judging from
the way thingsl have turned out,
he hasn’t got much out of the job.
Ever since; Gilmer and Lyle have
been m office they have either been
in a row with themselves or with
some other citizen or official. The
people of Hall dounty have been
more greatly annoyed since the
present regime’bas been in the sher
iff’s office than they ever were be
fore.
