'We had the satisfaction of near,
ing the charges ; againgt.N Mr. H O
Lefler ou Tuesday and in view
of;the character of the witnesses
and the utter failure to .fix any ap
apparent crime on Mr. Lefler we are
happy to know that the charges
were not sustained. . In fact we fail
to. see how the charges ever got be
fore the county board r in ;; shape to
merit a trial. ' ;, ;': ''-i:,y.
Although Mr. W'L Parish was
accorded the privilege of cross-ex
r
amining witnesses,-which was not
accorded to any one' else in . the
room, he persists in, denying that he
was there as prosecutor.
We do not hesitate to say that
Mr. Lefler, as well as othet publio
servants, should be held accounta
ble for any abuse of power or deres
t
any indication of an irregu laxity to
have two, three or four, chiefly
young stripping culprits, to make
charges abaiirb and monstrous
against him, a man of settled char
aster and good sterling citizenship.
To our mind the ' trial did not
reflect discredit on Mr. Lefler, but
it savored of a degree of readiness
to harbor, suspicion and calumny,
on the flimsy gossip of a few ex-con
victs that did not allow their pun
ishment to effect any good for them.
Those fellows should have J im
proved under tneir punishment to
avoid another lesson of that l or a
worse kind
It is very unfortunate too that
such testimony should be believed
against a respectable citizen until
verified by those gentlemen whose
testimony ezonorated Mr, Ltfler.
Such testimony would doubtless
have been given voluntarily and j
have set the matter at rest without i
the natural alienations that are apt
to follow this stir-up. The inno
cent suffer more or less from charges
which they fully disprove. j
.There is a better way of haying
the sunshine of ; peace along- our
pathway and of winning the esteem
of our fellowmen. j,
' We would like to know who in
Cabarrus county would be willing
to have mV character measured by
such testimony as was piven c there.
We hope the rnstigaters of i this
7- "- ' r , . . . - . '
affair may never be endangered by
such witnesses. " .""
