While the great ltpublic is true in heart and deed to the memory of the Pigrims of P'youth it will take no detriment even from the hand cf time." In stately measures Dear. Briggs set forth the vision of the Pigrims and their prayerful determination: 'Freedom Thy new-born nation here schall cherish; Grant us Thy covenant, unchanging sure; Earth shall decay; the firmament shall perish; Freedom and Truth, immortal shall endure." The answer of their descendants to this challenge came in these word?: "The Pilgrims faith, the Pilgrims courage grant us; Still shines the truth that for the Pilgrim shone.

Cecil Kefner and Lone Years at Hard Labor and Deck Hefner Seven and a Halt Young Cries In Court Jsicige Scores CcnditZons Shown Up Mcrgantcn, Dec. 22.

She after wards relented and her testimony, his honor said, was thoroughly cor roborated in essential details. Judge Shaw said the evidence sho .v cd that Lippard was killed by a per son much smaller than he or else was shot while he was on the ground, and the crowd inferred that he believed little Dock did the killing. . Commenting on Cecil Hefqpr and Lone Young, Judge Shaw jsaid that their case was hurt by the associates they kept. He said Cecil Hefner en deavored to prove an alibi, but tho witnesses he introduced were enough to damn him before any jury. If it had not been for the seriousness cf the charge against the defendants, Judge Shaw declared, he would have had eight or ten of the defendans' witnesses arrested on the spot and held for perjury. He knew end the jury knew that they were perjuring themselves, and it would not be sur prising it Solocitor Huffman does not draw bills and present them to the grand jury at the next term cf Burke superior court. The jury had made up its mind foi, conviction before it left the court room last night. Elevent jui;crs stood for second degree and one f avorea first " degree. It required a little ar gument on the part cf the eleven to bring the twelfth man around to their way cf thinking. The jury was out less than an hour. Supper was eaten and the body of twelve men was ready to report. When the verdict was announcea . thanked last night, the juiors wcie taamn by Judge srcaw ana aihmwsra. .- were informed that they had done their work well and the remarks of the iudge this morning showed that he believed they understood the case thoroughly.

Then it was when he said his boys would take the stand. ' A Good Jury .Other .Hickory people watehed the j case' intently. Many were drawn to rjorganton as witnesses and they generally gained the impression that the verdict would be murder in the second degree. The jury undoubtedly was compos ed of splendid men. At-all times they were attentive, and occasionally they would smile broadly when a witness, for the defense tried to explain things about which he appeared to know little. The jurymen told Judge Shaw Shaw that they were well treated, at all times and they stuck to their job earnestly. Case Well Conducted S The case was well conducted by both sides. Mr. A. A. Whitener had poor material to work on, but he got the most out of his case. Solicitor Huffman, Messrs. Self. Murphy. Aiken, Spainhour and Mull, assisted by Chief Lentz, Deputy Sheriff Ken nedy, and other officers, had their case 'well in hand at all times. Judge Shaw impressed the jury and the large crowd in the court room that he was on the job and the trial: moved swiftly and without any jars., Judge Shaw' saw to it that the witnesses received focd treatment.
