Ehringhans Hearing, for four prominent vard men will be held in Raleigh 4p day by Governor Ehringhaus in Ups matter of a pardon from prison sentences which were imposed *y Judge N. A, Townsend here in De cember of 1932. The men, Jos. H. Pickelsime*', 4. ft. McNeely, Ralph R. Fisher arid Thos. H. Shipman, were sentenced to from two to three years each on a charge of conspiracy to defraud the county of. Transylvania in tbe: sale of a tax antiepiation note, the charges alleging that the note was, sold in older to help the Brevard Banking company which closed it* doors in December of 1930. Stipula tion was made by Judge Townsend at the time that it the men woulp pay into the county commissioners the sum of thirty thousand dollars hfe would recommend a pardon. Announcement last week by Par don Commissioner Gill to the effect: that Governor Ehringhaus would not grant the pardon caused con sternation among the Brevard men’s friends who had assumed that the, !pardon was assured for them, and’ [every effort is being made by these I people to impress the governor with: their belief as to the innocence of| the men of the charges upon which’ they were convicted. The following editorial taken from Tuesday’s Charlotte Observer goes into the case and the matter of par* don as follows: The people around Brevard appear to have been considerably upset by Governor Ehringhaus’ decision not to grant clemency to the four men under sentence in the Brevard bank ing case, foi. in view of the cir cumstances. the people of Doth Bre vard and Transylvania County had expected the Governor would abide tl.t lie. mmendation of the court. Ihe cmm' against those bankevs was ling in the exciting days of the Asheville bank breaks, but the Bre vm ! <us( was one of a different nn-, i v and was accompanied by mitt gating ciieumstancca. One point that • >■! I,,-, cited in defense is the fact that, i "WW1 .tfiii ■ftt'dVfgtiwflfi more ihan a year ago, a new banW lias been rganized in Brevard, witn two of the men who had been triedl named a* director*, while one of the quartet—Joseph Pictoebimer — har. been elected to membership on the board of trustees of the new Meth odist College to be established at Bre vard, by the Western North Carolina Conference. This goes to show the confidence the community imposed in the integrity of these men. Going into the history of the case: The people of Brevard and of Transyl vania County had reason to antici pate clemency because Judge N. A. Townsend, who heard the trial and who passed sentence, stated in open court that if the convicted parties wbuld pay the county $30,000 he would recommend pardon, and So licitor Wili Pits* had publicly con curred in the statement,; they have met tlie conditions fixed by the judge and he and the solicitor are understood to have recommended pardon. Moreover, Judge Felix Al ley, who assisted in the prosecution, and ail members of the jury which convicted them, have asked or recom mended pardon, which also has been asked in petitions signed, it is said, by 90 per cent of the adult citizens of :he county, and by every member of the present board of commis sioners. They were convicted by a jury brought in from Haywood County, on motion of the State, while the defendants desired trial by their owr county men. They were convicted o' conspiracy to use the credit of th county to bolster up the bank. Thi countv commissioners, in the early fall of 1930, prior to the banking crash in Asheville and before the be ginning of the epidemic of bank fail tores precipitated by the depression harrowed $100,000 on short term "&x anticipation” bonds. When the n/v board of commissioners took office December 1, that year, the old bdpird turned ovei bank receipts xur vji-tantial deposits in the bank, thbugh a good portion of the $100, ()4o had been used for various coun ty purposes. Some three weeks later the bank failed, and the county snf feted considerable loss.

Hauls Dynamite and Liquor On Ss Truck—Sheriff Has Drivers Ch White lightning and high evi plosives said to be unmixable, had a j glorious opportunity here last Fri day and failed to grasp it. It seems that two employes on a federal works project, Jay Keath and Verge Ray, were sent to Hender sonville last Friday morning by their foreman, Eck L. Sims, with instruc tions to get six cases of dynamite and six cases of caps or exploders. Taking a truck that is being used on the road jobf the* men evidently procured their explosives from the prison camp and returned, or at Feast they returned part of the way bv late in the afternoon. However, dynamite and exploder* did not make up the entire load, a* some where on the round* a half gallon of whiekey was added to the cargo, and the two men evidently took ‘juat a leetie” to steady their nem«. Failure to judge bow much required for a nerve, settler, the wen became so nervy that Sheriff Tom Wood found it expedient to have drivers changed for the troefc, the . transfer being made at Penrose, the original driver and his companion being given a ride iivtbe SheriffV sedan to the county jail, and-a man more in keeping with such work designated to bring $e load of ex plosives in. Sheriff Wood stated that when the men were arrested, part of a jar of whiskey and several loose dyna mite caps were found in the. seat gf the truck occupied by the two men.
