MedUn, he said, told him he bought them from some other negro. A number of attaches of the hoe establishment in question testi fied that the pair of shoes exhibited In court came from their store, but how, they knew not, as no, Individual record pf sales Is kept. Blake testified that he knew nothing whatever about the matter. The defendant Medlln did not avail himself of the privilege of going on the stand In his own behalf. Mr. F. M. Shannonhouse, attorney for Med Un, protested vigorously against his client's being helJ. He claimed there was not one scintilla of evidence to in criminate the man. The recorder men tioned the fact that the defendant had not gone on the stand. Thereupon the attorney demanded to know If the court meant to Ignore the man's lenral right to refrain from going on the stand. A SURPRISE WEDDING. MIm niarlotte Bost Weds Mr. W. F.

There Is a well'authentlcated rumor afloat that one of the young members of the city fire department Is soon to take unto himself a wife, that he is going to loin the rank of the bene dicts, that ha la contemplating - matri mony, In brief that he is going to get married.
