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. Brevard Salutatonan ✓ MISS LILLIAN ZACHARY, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. J. P.
