Malicious Prosecution. - :
Late one Saturday afternoon about
two years ago F. M. Keith, a plasterer
of this city, and an ex-magistrate, went
into the grocery store of Hiatt & Lamb
and asked them to cash a check for
him. The check was signed by N. Li
Hanner, a well known contractor, and
called for forty dollars. The amonnt
was paid by Hiatt Lamb and nothing
mere was thought of the matter until
the check was returned from the bank
Monday for the want of the proper n
dorse'ment. Mr. Keith had neglected
to endorse it, either intentionally or
Inadvertently, but this was overlooked
by the gentlemen who accommodated
him at a busy time by cashing the
check. When the check was returned
to Hiatt & Lamb Mr. Hanner chanced
to be in their store and his attention
was called to the matter, j In order to
save time and trouble in looking up
Mr, Keith, it was suggested that Mr.
Hanner change the word "order" on
the check to "bearer," which was done.
The check was then accepted by the
bank. '
In a settlement between them about
a year ago, Mr. Keith asked Mr. Han
ner for the checks ho had made pay
able to him (Keith,) saying be bad the
accounts mixed. Mr.Hannergave him
the checks, among them being the one
which Hiatt & Lamb had cashed and
which Keith bad failed to endorse.
The surprise of Mr. Hanner and Messrs.
Hiatt & Lamb can be imagined when
they were cited to appear before a jus.
tice of the peace one day last week to
answer the charge of forgery, brought
by Keith, the ex-magistrate. They
were tried and bound over to court,
though we are unable to understand
where the law comes in. It may be
legal, but it is not common .sense or
justice. j ' "
There are one or two things in re
gard to this matter that are rather hard
to understand. If Mr. Haaner and
Messrs. Hiatt & Lamb, who are all
gentlemen of unimpeacable character,
are guilty of forgery for their connec
tion with the transaction, why is not
Mr. Keith guilty of perjury in swear
ing on the magistrate's trial that he
had never received the money? Not
withstanding the fact that Mr. Keith
has been acquainted with the facts in
the case all along and has been in pos
session of the check for the past year,
it was not until recently that he con
ceived the Idea of having these gentle
men indicted for forgery. It looks to
us as If it were simply a case of malici
ous prosecution, based upon a techni
cality. Keith got the money that the
check called for, if Hiatt & Lamb are
to be believed, and we are certain they
are, so there is no case ! against them
which will stand in any court of justice.
The Greensboro Loan and Trust
Company opened for business Monday
morning, and we are glad to know the
institution starts out under most auspi
cious circumstances. The institution
is strong financially, haying a capital
stock of $100000, and its officers are
men of the deepest integrity, in whom
the people have the greatest confidence.
In addition to doing a loan and trust
business, the company will transact a
general banking business. ..This will
be a material advantage to the business
interests of Greensboro and will be ap
preciated by our business men. With
four as good banks as any city can
boast of and two strong loan and trust
companies to encourage and promote
business, the outlook for the future of
Greensboro along this line is bright.
The Greensboro Loan and Trust Com
pany is temporarily domiciled in a por
tion of the building occupied by the L
Richardson Drug Company, just south
of the Odell Hardware Company, but
later on a handsome building for Its
own use will be erected. Mr. J. W.
Fry, the gentlemanly and efficient
president, will devote bis entire time
and attention to the business. Mr. W.
E. Allen, who was with the Greens
boro National Bank for a number of
years, is the cashier, and will also act
in the capacity of teller until the busi
ness requires another officer. Mr. Wa
T.Smith is the book-keeper and he will
also act as collector for the present.
He was head book-keeper at J. W.
Scott fc Co.'s for several years past and
is well qualified for the duties of his
new position.
Death of a Promising Young Han.
- Mr. L. Herman Wilson, who had been
lingering on a bed of affliction for sev
eral months, passed peacefully away
last Friday morning about 7 o'clock
He had been ill since last spring, having
been attacked by a severe cold at that
time. About the middle of April he
gave up his position in the railway
mail service, thinking a few -weeks-rest
would restore him to sound health,
bat his weaVness increased until his
friends were reluctantly forced to the
conclusion that he was suffering from
consumption. During the long sum
mer months he was confined to his
room most of the time, being able to
take only occasional short walks. Only
a few weeks before his death he was
thought to be .improving, and it was
decided that he should, visit his brother
in Morristown, N. J. The long trip
was too great a tax on his falling
strength and at the end of the journey
he was forced to take tbis bed. When
he was again able to travel he returned
to his home in tbis city. After his re
turn he was unable to leave his room,
growing gradually weaker until the
end came.
Mr. Wilson was twenty-five years
old and was a young man to whom life
seemingly promised much. Moral and
unrigbt, and gifted . with many social
traits, he was a favorite with all who
knew him. He made and held - the
friendship of many, both old and young
He was a consistent member of the
Presbyterian church. When quite
young he successfully stood a civil ser
vice examination and received an ap
pointment to a good position in the
railway maU service. When failing
health forced him to resign his position
his run was between this city and
Goldsboro, on the. North Carolina rail
road. ' ,
The deceased leaves a mother and
three brothers, one of whom is married
and lives in Kinston, to which place
the remains were carried for interment.
His oldest brother liyes in Morristown,
N. J., and is employed on one of the
New York papers. With his mother
and youngest brother, Mr. Wilson had
resided in Greensboro for mora than
! - i
three years, Mrs. Wilson moving here
from Kinston. -
During Mr. Wilson's long illness he
received all the care that medical skill
i - i -
and loving hearts could bestow upon
him. i His mother was particularly at
tentive to his Deeds and her tender de
votion was indeed beautiful. Nothing
for the comfort of her dying boy was
left undone fcy her, and for weeks she
hardly left his room.
Mrs: Wilson is preparing to remove
to Kinston, where she will make her
home with her married son.
About two weeks; ago John
Phoenix, a negro from the Summer-
field section developed insaulty and
was placed in jail at this place for
safe keeping. He is not dangerous,
though his insanity has taken some
queer turns. He sleeps hardly any at
all aad remains up, refusing to go to
bed, during the entire night. The
county authorities are making efforts
to have him received into the colored
i -1
Insane asylum at Goldsboro.
