INTERESTING COURT CASE.
Case of Concord Merchants
Against. E. T. Grant Consumes Sev
eral Days.
jve case of H. L. Parks' & Co., and
nther merchants of the city against
r K. T. Grant, which had been on
rial fr tlie 1)351 tW0 ays Came to 2111
ln todav. Messrs. Montgomery- &
OowellL. T. Hartsell and H. S. Wii-
appear for the merchants and
Mrs. W. G. Means and T. D. Ma-
rP;; for Mr. Grant.
Mr. Grant had been a resident of
" i i' i -i n vA4 1o nni Inof
aic'r he moved his family to Anderson,
C. At the time he moved he and
J;3 family owed a considerable number
of3 debts to merchants in vthis city as
shown by the evidence in the case, and
he firms of H. L. Parks & Co., Cannon
& Fetzer Co. and White-Morrison-f
lowe Co. attached the household fur
niture of Mr. Grant. , ,
Mr. Grant immediately employed an
attorney and fought tie execution of
the attachment papers, claiming that
the furniture was the broperty of his
wife and not his. The case was tried
in a magistrate's court arftl sent to
the higher court. -
Mr?. Grant has been the principal
witness all through the trial, remain
ing on the stand for several hours.
She was subjected to a most rigid
examination both direct and redirect,
being compelled to go -over a large
number of items in the accounts of
the merchants and state to the-court
and jury when and Where she pur
chased them and how she secured the
funds to make the purchases. Attor
neys for the plaintiff called over item
after item and each time she had a
ready answer for whatever informa
tion they desirejd concerning it. Dur
ing all the cross examination she
never quailed before the fire of ques
tions from the attorneys and remained
calm and collected throughout the
trial.
There were a number of witnesses
put on the stand to disprove a num
ber of things" stated in the testimony
of Mrs. Grant and a large amount of
testimony varied! considerably from
hers. In her testimony Mrs. Grant
stated that she made the money to
purchase these articles of furniture
by sewing and keeping 'boarders and
she purchased all of the articles seized
with her own money.
Comet Visible Friday Sure.
While the comet is so close to a di
rect line with the sun, you will not, of
course be able to see it with the naked
ye. But as it moves toward the
left, ft wil get out of the direct rays
of the sun, and get out of the direct
rays of the sun, and by tonight or
tomorrow night it should be clearly
visible in the western skies just after
sunset.
The comet will be visible to every
body until the beginning of June. It
will be visible to astronomers -with
good telescopes all summer long. .
There will be a great sight in the
western sky tomorrow night. That is
the real night for eomet parties. When
the comet appears just after sunset it
will be much more briliant 'than it
was last week' in the morning sky.
Look for it right over the spot where
the sun goes down and after the first
night or two look for a shaft of light
rising up into the heavens until it
seems like a rainbow cut in two.
