Most Important Matter for Present Term is Disposi tion of Case Against O. G. Thomas. JUDGE WEBB IS PRESIDING OFFCER Solicitor Zeb Long Begins Work in This District Hearing in Thomas Case to Be Held This Afternoon. The Jii inane term of Cabarrus Conn ty Suiertr Court convened in the court house here this morning, with Judge James L Webb, of Shelby, pre siding. Court oieiiel shortly after 10 o'clock, and the morning session was consumed with the Judge's charge 'to the grand jury and a number of sub mission cases. .ebiilnn Long of Stalesville. assum ed Ids duties as solicitor of ibis dis trict at the opening of court here Ibis morning, Mr. Long was elected lo the Sotlcitorship ill the N'oiomhiT election, and was sworn in last Monday at his borne, Statesville. Mr,. Long is no stranger in Concord, lie is recogniz ed as an able lawyer, an esieciullv line speaker and a Christian gentleman who believes in law enforcement. A successful record as solicitor is pre dicted for him. The greatest interest in this term of court centers in the case against O. (!. I Bed I Thomas, who was recently granted a new atrial by the Supreme Court after being convicted of second degree murder last January and sen tenced to serve IS years in the State penitentiary, for the killing of A. J. Allen in Kannnpolfs. This case probably will come before the court this afternoon or tomorrow morning, and as soon as the defend ant is formally arraigned again for the murder of Allen, his attorneys are expected to ask Judge Webb for a change of venue, arguing their request on the grounds that prejudice in Ibis county against Thomas makes it im possible for him to get a fair trial bei. It is know that Thomas' attor neys have secured a number of atli- davils. which will be presented to Judge Webb in support of their W quest, and It is reported fhnt attorneys for the State also have prepared- a munlier of affidavits, though these re ivits. I lieen ports have not Been substantiated by the State's attorneys. Attorney Haydcn Clement, of Salis bury, has lieen retained by the State to help in the prosecution of Thomas, it has been learned here. Mr. Clem ent was solicitor of this district when Thomas was lirst tried, and his ability as a lawyer and familiarity with the case probably account for his reten tion by the State. Mnness. Arnifield & Sherrin, John M. Ogleshy and .1. Lee Crowell. of Concord, and J. J. Parker and E. T. Cansler, of Charlotte, will appear again for the defendant. The State will lie represented by II, S. Williams and L T. Hart sell, of Concord, Solic itor Zeb Long, of Statesville, mi Mr.' Clement, other attorneys may also be employed, one member of the Allen family stated this morning. While the great interest (hat was shown in the case during the lirst trial is not expected to develop during the second hearing of the case, the case Is of unusual interest nevertheless. Refore beginning his charge to the grand jury Judge Webb spoke briefly on the improvements he has noted in Concord in recent years, expressed the hope that people lived up to the fine name? civen the city years ago by the early settlers, and added a wont oi unstinted praise for the htonc.wmi Jackson Training School. Since his Inst visit here, Judge Webb stated. Concord has made vast Im nrovements. and he congratulated the city for the progressive steps it has taken. lie also stated tliat no ciiy in the country has a liner name, and he advised his hearers lo 'live up to this name. "It takes concord in all things to make a success." he stated, and this applies to ihe church, Ihe city, the county and Ihe State." There is no Institution in Ihe stale doing a greater work than the Jackson Training School, in his opinion, Judge Webb declared. "The boys are re ceiving a training there," he. said, "and that Is Just what they need. Some of the boys being trained there now will make useful, hard working,, pros perous, prominent citizens if they live," he. added, "and thev will be worth more than ninny boys who now run the streets and are given all the money they want to spend " Training nt home Is what is needed In this country above all things, and Judge Webb expressed the liollef that there are many mothers and fathers In North Carolina who are not cnpnble of rearing and curing for ihe children thev Iriwe. "I hope the State will see fit lo give Hits institution nil the money It needs for Us proper manage ment and enlargement," Judge Webb said In conclusion.
