IS BLACK SEBViNG?
Contention Made That All His
Sentences to Roads Are
Now In Effect. ,
Superior court for the trial of crim
inal cases adjourned Saturday night
about II o'clock when many odds and
ends of the term were disposed of,
One of the Important matters before
the court just before -adjournment
was the lodgement of a motion by
counsel for WHay P. Black, now serv
ing the remainder of a sentence on
the roads following the revoking of a
conditional pardon, withdrawing ap
peals to the Suprems court
It seems that during; the special
term of court over which Judge Ward
presided In July Black was convicted
and sentenced to ths roads for 12
months; Black a little later was also
convicted In police court of "white
lave" traffic and given It months.
In each case notice of appeal was giv
en. Then Governor Kltchln revoked
the conditional pardon granted Black
mora than a year ago and Black Is
now serving an unexpired terme of It
months. The sentence by Judge Webb
and the sentence In police court were
made for one to follow upon the ex
piration of another term and It la con
tended that by withdrawing the ap
pear Is Black will be serving at one
and the same time the 11- months
sentence, from Superior court, the It
months sentence from police court
and ths It months unexpired sentence;
In short, that when be has completed
serving the unexpired sentence of It
months as a result of the revoking of
ths conditional pardon he will have
also served the Superior court sen
tence for retailing and the police court
sentence for "white slave" truffle.
. Ths bandsmen have withdrawn as
security for appearance for Black and
turned the man over to the custody of
the sheriff. ' Black was brought into
Ashevllle Saturday afternoon from
the chain gang and presented to the
otirt at the time the appeal was with-drawn.--
