THE SAMUELS CASE
T
Two Ex-Deputy Collectors Give
Testimony. Both Were Under
Indictment. Contract Award
ed. Italian Arrested. Concern
ing Audubon Society. Judges
Galore in Hotel.
Special to The News.
Greensboro, Feb. 7. In the trial of
G. W. Samuel in the 'Federal Court
yesterday, ex.-Deputy Collectors J. H.
Smith and J. W. Hasty, themselves in
dicted were the principal witnesses ex
amined for the defense, the cross ex
amination of the latter not being com
pleted when court adjourned. They tes
tified that Samuel was a fine officer, I
and corroborated his evidence in every
particular.
Under cross-examination both failed
to explain how in a few months after
they entered the ; revenue seryice y
Wilkes, going there without means,
they became of financial importance.
Hasty acknowledged loaning out as
much as $3,000 in cash in six months
after he arrived. The only witness
other than a revenue officer was t a
justice of the peace. Stating that there
general knowledge of the existence of
distilleries especially of Jim Combs'
and McEwin's steam distilleries, he was
asked on cross examination why as a
magistrate, he had not issued war
rants himself for the arrest of the par
ties. He replied that several times he
had consulted with United States Com
missioner Dula, who said that the reve
nue officers knew all about the stills
and had been repeatedly informed of
them and would do nothing and that
as justice of the peace, he had no right
to issue a warrant for a State offense
on hearsay testimony, but that a
sworn complaint had first to be made
before it became his duty to take ac
tion. The police here last night arrested
an Italian named Pentro Zontiricinni,
on suspicion of being a man adver
tised as wanted for a murder in Cali
fornia, and for whose arrest a reward
of $500 is offered. The man was ar
rested at the station but protests his
innocence. He was locked up awaiting
further information. He very much re
sembles the photograph sent here, but
his height is at least two inches less
than the published description.
Mr. T. Gilbert Pearson, secretary of
the North Carolina Audubon" Society,
has returned from Minneapolis, Minn.,
where he delivered an address last
week before the annual meeting of .the
State. Game Wardens and State Game
Commissioners of the United States.
He also responded to a toast at a big
banquet tendered to the wardens and
commissioners.
Greensboro is truly a Gate City. Sun
day night the following Superior Court
judges in transit were at the Benbow
Hotel: ; Jones, of Winston; Cooke, of
Louisburg; Long, of Statesville;
Peebles, of Jackson; Ferguson, of
Wayriesville; Bryan of New Bern;
. Shaw, : of Greensboro. When United
States District Judge Boyd walked in
the hotel lobby, there was the unusual
spectacle of eight active judges in ac
tive conversation not one of them real
izing how seldom such a thing hap
pened, or referred to it.

Dr.
Brevard Wires of Tragic Death of
: Mr. Dozier.
A telegram received by Mr. R. J.
Brevard, Jr., from his father who is
at Greenville, Fla., duck shooting, an
nounced the tragic death there last
Saturday of Mr. Dozier. with whom
Drs. Brevard and Robertson were stop
ping. :
Mr. Dozier was in a boat with a ne-
gro oarsman, wnen nis gun was ac
cidentally discharsed, the contents
taking effect in one of his legs, near
the knee. The negro hastened to in
form Dr. Brevard, who, with a party
at once started to the wounded man's
assistance. When they reached Mr.
Dozier he had succumbed to his
wound, death resulting from the loss
of blood which flowed freely from a
severed artery. . ,
Mr. Dozier has many friends in
Charlotte who will regret to learn of
his death. A number of Charlotte gen
tlemen visit his place in Florida annu
ally, and he has always been a most
congenial gentleman, and a: guide to
duck shooting in his vicinity.

JUROR PHIFER RAD
HOT PAIO HIS TAXES
The Technicality on Which William
E. Breese, Escaped a Paniten-;
, tiary Sentence of Seven Years.'
N oted Case Tri ed in; Char I otte
Comes to an End.
The -News i yesterday, afternoon
stated that the Circuit Court1 of Ap
peals had reversed the decision' of the
lower court in the case of William E.
Breese, charged with embezzling funds
from the defunct First National Bank
of Asheyille, and ' who was convicted
and sentenced in Charlotte in July,
1904. In speaking of the court's decis
ion, the- Evening Journal says:
"Of the opinions announced today
doubtless the most important one is
the case of William E. Breese, plaintiff
in error, vs. the United States, de
fendant in error, from the United
States Circuit Court at Charlotte,
N. C
"Mr. Breese was president of the
National Bank of Asheville, N. C, and
was, in November, 3 897, indicted for
alleged violations of section 5209 of
the Revised Statutes of the United
States for misappropriating funds of
the bank. He was tried by the lower
court in November, 1898,- and found
guilty and sentenced . ,to . serve ten
years in the penitentiary. He then
appealed to the Circuit Court of Ap
peals, which court ' revrsed the. lower
and sent the cause back for . a new
trial. On the next trial the jury failed
to agree, and this happened again on
the third trial. The last trial was com
menced on July 12, 1904, and resulted
in a verdict of guilty on certain' counts
in the indictment and a judgment that
the defendant be imprisoned in the
penitentiary at Atlanta for a term of
seven years, from which judgment the
prisoner sued out a writ of errdr from
this court.
"The main ground of the plaintiff
in error for a reversal of the lower
court is based on their plea of abate
ment and motion to quash filed in the
lower court. The plea asserts that C.
C. Phifer, one of the members of the
grand jury ,that returned the indict
ment, was the owner of more than
$100 o)f rjersonad property, and that
he had not paid his taxes upon said
propertv, which is required by the laws
of North Carolina in order to be quali
fied to serve as a grand juror, This
court holds that the grand juror was
n'ot qualified to serve ,and, tnereiore,
the lower court was in error in not
sustaining the plea in abatement and
the motion to quash, and, therefore, the
judgment of the court is reversed. .
"This opinion virtually ends the
cafees against Breese, Dickerson and
others for, misappropriating the funds
of. this bank because; it is now too late
in have them reindicted Dy
another
jury.
ATTEMPT TO WRECK STORE.
Robber Loots Stors and Attempted to
Wreck it by Igniting On ianK.
At a late hour Saturday night a thief
entered the store of Mr. J. P. Gibson,
at the corner of Stonewall and Gra
ham streets, carried away about $35
worth of groceries, and then attempted
to set the 'store on fire. The robbery
was not discovered ' until Sunday
morning and what Mr. Gibson saw up
on entering the store amazed him. On
a large' oil tank in the rear of the store
was a Dile of charred sticks ot wood
and the shelves near-by were scorched
showing that the thief attempted to
ignite the oil tank and. wreck tne
store. That "the oil did not explode,
seems almost miraculous as several
small pieces of burned wood were
found inside the tank. The miscreant
covered his tracks well, leaving no
clue behind. "
OXCE POLICE OFFICER.
Now Wanted on Charge of Grand Lar-
' eeny.
The Charlotte police have been no
tified to keep a sharp lookout . for-one
James J. Reynolds, who was formerly
a. patrolman of the city of Baltimore.
Reynolds 'is 'charged -with grand lar
ceny and the alleged crime is -said 'to
have been committed during the time
he was serving as an officer.
It is charged in the indictment that
Reynolds, at different times, took - a
large amount, of fancy ehjnaware .brie
abat, and either house decoration. He
was released from custody on a $1,500
bond, which he afterwards' forfeited.
