GOLD BRICK MEN CONVICTED.
Get Long Terms in the Penitentiary
—An Appeal Taken to the
Supreme Court.
One of the most interesting and
noted trials that ever came up in Gull-ford
county was that of J. L. Howard,
alias Frank Thompson; A. L. Daley
alias Gonez Bono, and H. D. Hawley
which occupied the time of the Superior
court from last Thursday morning un-til
Monday evening. Readers of the
PATRIOT are familiar with the attempt
of the gang to work the gold brick
scheme on Mr. Paul Garrett, of Wel-don,
and of their capture in this city
on March 22nd.
The defendants were represented by
Mr. L. A. Gilmore, an attorney from
Chicago; Bynum & Bynum .and Col.
John A. Barringer. King & Kimball
were associated with Solioitor Brooks
in the prosecution. When the case
was called Thursday morning there
was a considerable amount of sparring
among the attorneys as to the charge
upon which the men were to be tried,
the defence contending that their of-fence
should be considered a simple
misdemeanor. Judge Council ruled
that tbey should be tried for a felony,
a conviction for which would Insure a
much more severe punishment. The
entire afternoon was spent in securing
a jury. Dozens of men, when called
iuto the box, disqualified themselves
for jury duty by admitting that they
had formed the opinion that the de-fendants
were guilty.
Mr. Garrett, who planned and as-sisted
in executing the capture, was
the principal witness for the prosecu-tion.
He was placed on the stand
when court convened Friday morning
and kept there for four or five hours.
His testimony, which was very inter-esting,
was related in a straightfor-ward
and well connected manner. He
want into details and told of the entire
occurrence, from the time of receiving
a visit from Howard on Wednesday
morning, March 20th, to the capture of
the three swindlers In Greensboro
two days later. It will be remembered
that Howard called on Mr. Garrett at
his office in Weldon and introduced
himself as Frank Thompson, a wealthy
but ignorant miner from Arizona. He
claimed to be searching for the brother
of a dead partner by the name of An-drew
Garrett and llnaliv made a prop-osition
to take the Weldon man into
partnership with .him. Mr. Garrett
was to have a third interest in the Ar-izona
gold mine and two gold bricks
rained at $38,000. These bricks were
In the possession of an Indian chief by
the name of Gonez Bono, who was
camped In the woods near Greensboro.
Mr. Garrett recognized his caller as
a gennlne gold brick man and de-termined
to attempt to capture bim
and his confederates. With this end
in view, he seemlugly fell Into How-j the grammar school
ard's plans and made arrangements to ' teachers—Misses Mary
asset hun and the Indian in Greeus-boro
on Friday, when the gold bricks
were to be Inspected and the new part-nership
deal consummated, provided
the Indian was agreeable to the ar-rangement.
After these matters were
settled they were to preceed to Pbila-pelphla^
dispese of the two gold brloks
and pnrehase machinery for the Ari-zona
mine. Before leaviug Weldon
Howard said the Indian had become
dlssatlsflsd and might wish to return
home, in which event It would be well
fer them to purchase Gonez Bone's In-terest.
Mr. Garrett assented to this
and assnred the alleged miner that he
could raise the necessary amount of
money for this purpose.
Aooording to agreement, Mr. Gar-rett
arrived in Greensboro Friday. He
was sael at ths depot by Howard, and
an hour or so later they left town for
the oamp of the Indian, which was lo-cated
on South Buffalo. Previously
! Mr. Garrett had notited the olfioers of
the genuine article. For this purpose
he had a letter purporting to be a no-tification
of his reappointment to a
good position in the government mint
In Philadelphia. This fetter would
probably have been exhibited to Mr.
Garret and the miner when they came
uptown in search of some one to assay
the metal.
Mr. Garret was followed on the wit-ness
stand by Sheriff Jordan, Deputy
Sheriff Weatherly, Mr. Garland Daniel,
who guarded Hawley at the hotel and
kept him from destroying the forged
letter, Dr. J. p. Turner and several
other witnesses. The state rested its
case just before noon Saturday and
the defense announced that it would
introduce no testimony, thus gaining
the opening and closing speech in the
argument before the jury.
Saturday afternoon Judge W. P. By-num,
Jr., opened the argument for the
defense, being followed by Mr. B. R.
King for the prosecution. The second
speech for the defense was made by
Mr. Gilmore Monday morning, he be-ing
followed by Solicitor Brooks. Col.
Barringer closed the argument about
4 30 o'clock in the afternoon. Judge
Council's charge consumed about half
an hour, the jury returning after an
hour's deliberation with a verdict 0/
guilty as to all three of the defendants.
The prisoners, who could have had no
hopes of an acquittal, did not appear
greatly moved when the verdict was
rendered.
When court convened yesterday
morning Judge Council sentenced
Howard and Hawley to ten years and
Daley to seven years in the peniten-tiary.
Daley was given a shorter term
because it appeared that he had been
the scapegoat and tool of the other
prisoners. The attorneys for the de-fense
filed notice of an appeal to the
Supreme court. Pendiug the hearing
of the appeal, bail was fixed at $5,000
for Howard and Hawley and $3,000 for
Daley. It Is not probable that they
will give bond, as they would Immedi-ately
be arrested on warrants from
other places.
A great many people crowded the
court room during the entire progress
of the trial,large numbers of ladies be-ing
In the audiences. At times there
was not standing room, so anxious
were the people to see and hear. The
wives of Howard and Hawley, who
oaiue to Greensboro several weeks ago,
occupied seats with their husbands in
the bar during the trial.

MARKET REPORT.
The receipts on our market for the
past week have been very light, owing
to two causes. In the first place, it is
very nearly all sold and in the second
place, farmers have been very busy
with their farming operations and
have not taken time to handle what
still remains in their hands.
The market has been very active
during the past week and prices
remain unchanged to a shade higher,
but the farmers who have quit their
work and brought tobacco te this
market have been well paid for their
trouble and thoughtfulness to come to
market when it is bare of tobacco.
We would advise all farmers who
have tobacco on hand to market it as
soon as possible, as the dealers and
manufacturers are getting so little
stock now from the warehouses that
they will soon begin to wind up their
operations for the year and it will not
sell as well then as it will now.

Mrs. F. S. Fentress died at her home

Monday morning. She had suffered
for some time from Bright's disease*
which caused her death. Mrs. Fen-trees

crop of tobacco and it is growing off
nicely. Keep your eyeon tbesegeatle-men,
for they are fine at anything they
try to do.
All reports from the Liverpool and
London markets indicate a very quiet
market on that side of the big waters,
but the prices are steady and holders
seen to be firm in their prices. Liver-pool
hold 1,33s hogsheads less than she
did one year ago. This indicates a
more active market the coming season.
PREPARATIONS FOR A BIG TEAR.
The tobacco tributary to this market
has all been planted and farmers have
a good stand. There is a small increase
in acreage, so this market is getting
ready for the biggest year's work next
season she has done in several years.
Prices have been well maintained here
this season, and farmers will lenrl a
liberal support to this market next
season. There is room here for one
live warehouseman and two or three
live buyers to make good money and
establish a permanent business.

CROP REPORT.
The state crop bulletin for the week
ending Monday, June 10, says: All re-ports
Indicate that the past week has
been very favorable both for farm work
and for the growth of crops. The tem-perature
averaged about normal and
the days were generally warm without
extremes, but cool nights prevailed
toward the close of the week. Crops
still average from two to three weeks
late, but have made considerable
growth and show renewedjvlgor. Chop-ping
ootton progressed yery rapidly,
but Is not yet finished. When fields
have been cleaned the crop shows good
stand and better oolor, but large areas
are still very grassy, and some fields
have been abandoned or will be plowed
upforcorn, Cotton seems to be almost
the smallest for the season on reoord.
Corn is doing fairly well and has re-gained
color where cultivated; grassy
fields show little growth, yellow color,
and very poor stands. Much corn was
planted In lowlands throughout the
state during this week. The bulk of
the tobaoco crop has now been trans-planted,
and the crop is starting off
well with good staods. Wheat and
winter oats are ripening rapidly; cut-ting
has begun in the south, and the
harvest will beconr.e general next week,
averaging ton days. There is much
complaint of scab and rust, but the
damage is uot widespread enough to
materally lessen the favorable outlook
for all the cereals. Spring oats are
very ti ne. Gardens and vegetables have
improved. Digging Irish potatoes has
commenced, and shipments are going
forward from eastern sections. Rice
has been a good stand and looks well.
While most fruits promise fair yields,
it appears that the apple crop will be
almost a failure, on account of the
fruit falling from the trees.
