A department conducted for |
The Warren County
Memorial library
By MABEL DAVIS
The Librarian
Our records show that we addeu
525 books during 1935. As our
friends know, most of those books
were given by persons interested in
the progress of the library. Completing
and paying for the library
building required our utmost endeavor
and we were content, or
more properly, willing to wait for
the books.
Conditions are more favorable for
us at this time and we expect ic
purchase new books every month.
The January order may have been
a little bit larger than we shall be
able to give every month. It required
an outlay of nearly fifty dollars,
but our needs were so urgent

books from which to select the book
committee could hardly have done
otherwise.
New Books

Selma Lagerlof (juvenile classic);
Mary, Queen of Scotland and the
Isles, Zweig; Art in America, Cahill

Trail Driver, Zane Grey.
I regret that I can offer no introduction
to these fine new books.
They are so new that I have not
had time to read them. "Art In
Amori " is snnnnssri trt hp a cCni
plete survey from the earliest beginnings
to the present. Every
page carries a copy of some well
known picture, building or piece of
furniture. It is not too technical
to appeal to any man or woman
interested in art. Dr. Carrel, author
of Man, the Unknown, is an
eminent scientist and surgeon, the
winner of the Nobel prize in 19112.
"Mrs. Astor's Horse" is something
like the "Washington Merry-GoRound,"
published in 1931. That
it appears under the signature of
the author, Stanley Walker, not
anonymously as did the other book,
gives it added interest.
Appreciated Gifts
The library is indebted to Mrs.
William Rivers, New York City, for
a very artistic and beautiful copy '
of Christmas?an American annual
of Christmas literature and art,
which was received just before the
holidays; to Miss Mary Wilson
Davis for a copy of Little Women
by Louisa May Alcott; to Mrs. J. P.
Watson for National Velvet, Bagnold,
and to Mrs. R. J. Jones for .
a copy of The Woolcott Reader,
edited by Alexander Woolcott.
The Woollcott Reader, the most
popular gift book of the season, is
a collection of some of the finest
short novels, biographies and treas

much that I bought a copy for my
own library. Mrs. Jones gave the
copy to the library in memory of
Mr. William Bell.
JURY DECLARES
(Continued from page 1)
the negro's car, and that they had
been informed by him that he carried
Mr. Loyd home on the night
the tobacco was stolen.
Mr. Loyd testified that he had
been calling on a young lady on the
night of the 23rd and that when
he left her home about 9:45 o'clock
he stopped at Jones' home and asked
him to take him home on account
of rain. He said that Jones
carried him to Macon, for which
service he paid him a small sum
for his trouble, and that he then
went home. Mr. Loyd's mother
testified that she opened the door
for Mr. Loyd to come in a few minutes
after 10 o'clock that night.
Horace Jones corroborated Mr.
T_.ovd's testimony in regard to tak
ing him to Macon. He admitted
that the track in the field fitted his
foot, but stated that the automobile
tracks were not made by his
car and denied tobacco being found
in his vehicle. Jones' wife testified
that Mr. Loyd came to her home
to get her husband to take him
home and that her husband returned
within a few minutes after leaving
with Mr. Loyd.
Mr. Loyd produced a half dozen
witnesses or more who testified
that he had grown tobacco this past
season and that his crop was unusually
good and that his tobacco
was cured at the home of Mrs. E.
P. Fitts and stripped at his home,
that the tobacco he stripped at his
home with the help of his mother
and others corresponded with the
tobacco which he sold on the South
Hill market, that he had an allotment
card to sell tobacco and that
he had sold two loads in Warrenton
prior to the time he sold in
South Hill. Harvey Haithcock,
floor manager of the Big Exchange
Warehoise in South Hill, testified
that he hauled the tobacco for Mr.
Loyd, and another witness testified
that he had seen Mr. Loyd hauling
tobacco towards his home, presumably
from the home of Mrs. Fitts
where it had Deen previously testified
that he cured his crop.
Although the case was long drawn
out, the jury deliberated only a
comparatively few moments before
filing into the court room to acquit
the two defendants.
JUDGE MAKES

time and the case went to the
higher tribunal.
After Judge Cranmer had denied
the motion of defense counsel to
quash the indictment, he was asked
to remand the cast to Recorder's
court. Judge Cranmer turned to
Solicitor Burgwyn and asked if he
cared to be heard on the matter.
The solicitor stated he thought the
case would have to go back to Recorder's
court and then raised the
question of the action that might
follow in the lower court.
Judge Cranmer answered, "That's
a question between the Recorder
and his God." He then asked if
there was only one Recorder's court
in the county. Upon being informed
that there was only one, he
stated, "I'll have to send the case
back to the same court it came
from, but I hope the Recorder will
have back-bone enough to try it
next time."
Judge Taylor, who was in court
?,t the time, arose, stated that he

was Recorder and started to make
a statement when Judge Cranmei
interrupted to ask if he was an attorney.
Judge Taylor replied thai
he was, that he had studied law ai
three institutions and that he hac
read practically every ruling thai
had been handed down by the Supreme
court. He started to quote
the law when Judge Cranmer said
"And I suppose you will take the
same position when it comes before
ycu again as you did before."
Judge Taylor said that he would
have to. He stated that he was
acting under oath and relying on
the principals of . law as laid down
in the State vs. Williams, "That the
repeal of a statute pending the
prosecution for an offense which ii
creates arrests the prosecution and
withdraws all authority to pronounce
judgment, even after conviction."
Judge Taylor started to refer
Judge Cranmer to another ruling
when he was ordered to sit down
and remain quiet. Judge Cranmei
then added: "If that's the position
you take the sooner the good people
of Warren county retire you from
public office to private life the better
off this county will be."
The case against Weston and the
Dean woman came into court as a
result of a raid made on the Pine
Top Service Station several months
ago when officers uncovered 81
pints of government whiskey secreted
in a wall of the building. The
case was tried before Warren county
voted for legal whiskey and at
this trial a jury was unable to agree
and a mistrial was ordered. The
case did not come up for trial again
until after the county had voted
for control, and this time Judge
Taylor granted a motion to quash
the indictment. The solicitor appealed
and the case was booked on
the Superior court calendar. When
the case was called Monday morning
the solicitor and judge allowed
it to be continued until the following
morning but raised the bonds
of the defendants from $25 each
to $3.00 each.
