SUPERIORCOURTTO
END APRIL TERM
HERE ON THURSDAY
Few Civil Cases To Be Heard
—Criminal Docket Was
Cleared Wednesday
April term of Superior court will
very probably complete ts work here
Thursday, according to court attaches
who were contacted late Wednesday af
ternoon.
Sheriff George Shuford requested
The Times to notify all jurors who
had been summoned for the second
week of court that their services would
not be necessary.
A large part of the civil cases were
continued for the term, thus facilitat
ing adjournment Criminal docket was
completed Wednesday momnng and
Solicitor Clarence Ridings left for his
home. Miss Kelly, court stenographer,
will remain here through Thursday.
Judge J. A. Rousseau, of North
Wilkesboro, presiding for his first term
In Transylvania, has dispatched the
cases before him with exceptional
speed, and the court has moved along
rapidly under his leadership.
Especially noticeable during the first
two days of court was the fact that
Judge Rousseau 1s a firm believer In
the laws of the highway pertaining to
driving drunk being enforced. One case
brought before the court for driving
drunk was disposed of by giving the
defendant 16 days In Jail at his own ex
pense, a fine of $100, and payment of
court cost, or the alternative of serving
90 days on the roads.
Protection of vacant property was al
so given a boost by the court, when
three defendants—a man and two wo
men of more or less character—were
given a total of from 6 to 16 years
for entering a summer home and steal
ing household goods.
Mercy, however, was shown in cases
where It was merited, by Judge Rous
seau. One little negro lad who plead
guilty of stealing money was allowed
to go. He had already served sixty
days In Jail, and the court took Into
consideration that the lad was young,
his father dead, and probably had no
chance in life prior to the theft.
Tuesday morning a memorial serv
ice was held for Wm. E. Breeso, for
mer member and president of the Bre
vard Bar association, who died last
Thursday evening.
Judge Rousseau gave up his seat as
presiding officer to Judge D. L. Eng
lish, president of the local bar. After
expression of respect from members of
the bar In regard to the departed mem
ber, President English appointed At
torney Ralph H. Ramsey, R. L. Gash,
Lewis P. Hamlin, and A. F. Mitchell
to draft appropriate resolutions of re
spect for Mr. Breese.
