surrounding the upper tier of
cells, wherein the colored prisoners are
kept, he saw a pile of mortar and
pieces of brick that had evidently been
gouged with some crude instrument
from the jail wall directly underneath
a large stone window sill. A glance
at a cell nearby showed him a hole in
the grating sufficiently large to permit
a good sized man to crawl through.
Five negroes had been locked in that
particular cell the night before and
but one of them remained. He was
curled up in his bunk apparently
asleep. Mr. May went to the corridor
door leading to the stairway to sum-mon
assistance, feeling confident that
the men had not gotten out of the

prisoners, one of them, Lewis Davis,
being armed with a heavy broom han-dle.

James Hairston aud Taylor Brown,

Au unusual course was pursued by
the Messick Grocery Company, of
Charlotte, last week in an effort to col-lect
a bill of about $40 from J. H. West,
of this city. Mr. West had charge of
the refreshment car on the Norfolk ex-cursion
and while in Norfolk the gro-cery
company had him arrested as an
absconding debtor. The debt iu ques-tion
was contracted away last fall, both
parties to the transaction beiug then,
as now, residents of this state. It look-ed
to West like a huge bluff and he
promptly '"called" it by employing
Judge Cabell, one of the foremost law-good
yers of Norfolk, who had him released
in short order. Judge Cabell made it
clear to the Norfolk authorities as well
as the grocery company's attorney
there that they had made a serious
mistake by molesting Mr. West on
Virgiuia soil and since the latter re-turned
home he has hinted vaguely at
a big suit for damages.

Judge George H. Brown, who pre-sides
over the present criminal term of

Monday morning. Nearly
two hundred cases, three of them for
capital crimes, appeared on the clerk's
books, yet it is probable that they will
all be disposed of by the end of the
week. The grand jury under the fore-manship
of Mr. W. H. Idol got down
to work early in the day, aud in good
time the big grist was beiug ground.
Several submissions in minor cases such
as retailing, affrays aud beating trains,
made a big hole in the docket the first
day and up to last night more thttn
one-third of the cases had been dis-posed
of. The only case of more than
passing interest tried yesterday was
that of Harry Leach, the young hotel
thief. He was convicted of stealing
some uuderwear from a clerk at the ,
McAdoo House aud plead guilty to the j
other eight cases agaiust him, his sen-tence
being fixed at one year in the
