Young,- were sentenced to Ov-3 years on the roads. These are the men who hired a ' horse, the famous spotted pony, -Mack," from Mr. W. F. Brendle, and carried him off to the wilds of Chester punty, . South Carolina, where they kept him for - weeks, awaiting a chaace to sell him. Newspaper pub licity was their undoing and Mack was discovered, and Varnadore vat ar rested and lodged In Jail here. . .

He was arrested at the Piedmont Toll Bridge and the horse recovered. He gave his name as Augustus Wright, of Friendly, Md., but later admitted that his rUht name was Young. He pleaded guilty of the charge of steal ing Mr. Meredith's horse but at last accounts sentence had not been pass ed. He drew his first five years for his part in stealing Mack. The next matter to engage the at tention of the court was the celebra ted Jennings-Godwin case, in which T. E. Jennings, defeated republican nominee for clerk of court, seeks to oust Judge C. E. Godwin, the success ful democratic nominee, and take for himself the 1 very lucrative office of clerk of the superior court of Davidson county. The case drew a big crowd. The plaintiff Jennings, appealed from the decision of Commissioner McRae, in which tie held tbat witnesses could not be compelled to give evidence that would tend to incriminate them. This ruling practically wrecked the inves tigation conducted here last week, be cause witnesses absolutely refused to answer question. Judge Bynam, one of the plaintiff's lawyers, opened by readiaa decision from law-books for -shoot half an hour, for the purpose of showing that witnesses could be fore- ,d to testify and that the statute pro vided a full and general pardon for any wrong-doing admitted by the wit ness. Mr. E. E. Raper, attorney for Judge Godwin, argued that the statute pro vided a pardon only for Illegal voting and not for Illegal registration or per jury la getting bis name on the regis tration books. He also argued that the statute referred to applied only to contested elections before the General Assembly. He was followed by Capt F. C. Rob bins, Z. I. Walser, Wade H. Phillips and Geo. Z. V. Walser, all speaking ror juage uodwin. . . Mr. J. R. McCrary followed speak' ins for the plaintiff and Mr. A. E. Hoi , ton, former U. 8. District Attorney, ciosea ror tne plaintiff.

' That the detectives will be able to take care of themselves, Is ardently hoped by every good citizen. There is a strong prejudice against the u le of detectives in trailing tigers to their lairs but there seems to be no other way to catch them. 'lawyers for the sightless beast will doubtless spend ail their fury on the luckless detec tives this week, for that is their only hope.
