Appar ently, he had rather reflect on my of fice and get himself into the lime light than to get at the bottom of the affair. “As to the larceny from the house of February 28th, the following are the facts: Antone, with two, other negroes, was charged with stealing chickens. Golden Thomas, one of the negroes, pleaded guilty; George Ham mond, another of the trio, was found guilty by a jury, while Antone could not be held because of insufficient evidence. "On March 29th, the second data which the chief mentions, Milledse Weaver and Antone were charged with stealing money from l.ena Rutler, a negress described on the warrant as living on the Thomas place In Rich mond county. Mr. Sturges went to the Thomas place and it was found that no such woman as Lena Butler lived there. That disposes of case number two. "On March 30. the third date men tioned by the chief, Antone was charg ed with stealing from Chas. Bryson, a negro from Evans, Ga. Soon after the warrant was sworn out Bryson died and it was impossible to convict Antone without his evidence. “Ae for the alleged burglaries of May 27th and July 10th, they are fel ony cases and go before the superior court. Antone "Pimped” for Police. "However, the misdemeanor of Sept. 9th was, of course, a case for my court. This was a case in which An tone was charged with larceny from the house, having stolen a caddy of tobacco from the detectives’ room at the barracks. At that time the negro was working for the police, doing what is known in the police vernacular as “pimping.” This case was set for trial the very next week, city court being held from September 14th to the 18th, but Mr. W. I. Curry, the negro's at torney, was in New York and asked for it to be postponed. There has been no court held since, although we would have had a session beginning the 16th of November had it not been for Judge Speer’s U. S. court conflicting. The subpoenas had all been sent out for our court when we heard that Judge Speer was coming. The court begin ning Monday, December the 7th, is the first to he held since September, and, of course, we could not have tried Antone before. The case of Sept. 9th, along with the one of November 12th, has been assigned for next week. On November 12th Antone is said to have stolen nine shirts from Mrs. Wolfe, who keeps a clothing store on Broad street. "On the day before the chief made the charges the Herald published a complete list of the cases assigned in the city court for the week beginning December 7th and it shows that An tone Williams is to he tried for two cases of larceny from the house. The misdemeanors of December 2nd have just been committed. They will be tried just as quickly as possible. "In the city court we handle nearly 400 cases a. year and we handle each case with the utmost dispatch and I have shown the exact status of the negro William’s cases.” The Solicitor General. Solicitor General A. L. Franklin made this statement: "In so far as the superior court is concerned, I can readily explain why Antone has not been tried, and 'the chief of police could ascertain very easily from me the true facts in the case if he wanted to do so. “There has been no court, until a few weeks ago, since the offenses of May 27th and July 10th were commit ted. At the session of court held early in November we tried only jail eases and Antone was out on bond. During this week his attorney pleaded guilty for him in two cases and Judge Ham mond has determined to sentence him for five years in each, waiting only un til the city court meets next week so that the negro way be sent up for a misdemaenor, if convicted in order that Richmond county’s chain gang may get the benefit of his work be fore he is turned over to the state. All convicts with sentences of 12 months or under go to the chain gang of the county in which they are convicted, while those receiving sentences for felonies are state prisoners and may be sen*, anywhere in the state.
