Charges Against
Kiser Dissmissed
A warrant charging misappro
priation of funds of the Town of
Tryon, sworn out by Elmer Payne,
colored against former Chief of
Police Hague Kiser, has been dis
missed. by Magistrate Arthur At
kins of Columbus.
Magistrate Atkins took a “nol
pros” in the case for lack of
sufficient evidence to hold Kiser
for further court proceedings.
It is alleged by the negro man
that he was to pay the former
Tryon chief of police a sum of
money to be relieved of a charge
of carrying a concealed weapon.
Evidence could not be produced
in a sufficient amount to warrant
a charge of embezzelment.
The former chief of police
denied the charge.
The negro is now serving a
sentence in the chain-gang for
carrying a concealed weapon. He
was arrested by a member of the
sheriff’s department for carrying
a concealed weapon and was con
victed at the August term of
Superior Court in Columbus.
