The most important case oi mo uay was that of Will Henderson. He was first tried on the charge of rape and acquitted and then on the charge of burglary. The jury auer oeing ui u ly a few minutes brought In a verdict of burglary, in the second degree. , The court in pronouncing sentence ' ad ministered a ; severe rebuke to the young criminal, telling him that he was doing him a great kindness in nsndine him to the penitentiary in that by so doing he was saving him from being hung. He then sentenced him to 15 years in the State prison. Will is about as tough looking speci men of humanity as you ever see. He has the hardened look of the matured criminal and seems to have no sense of right and wrong. The next was the case against Ern est Phillips for an assault. He was found guilty and sentenced to 60 days on the, roads. A negro woman. Fettle Green was' next tried charged with making her self a nuisance by being drunk and using profane language.. She jBtoutly maintained her innocence, out au tne same the jury adjudged her guilty and she was given eight months m tne county jail. - - - ".
