SHIPMENT SCRAP BRASS Tf it CUTTER BEAR IS BEARING SURVIVORS NEGRO BOY LOSES ISLAND SINCE JANUARY SUSTAINS FINDINGS IN DREDGE 'A' CASE Special Master George Green Is Upheld in a Lengthy Opinion. L Judge Connor of the Federal bench has just rendered a lengthy opinion in the long-standing Dredge A case. overruling all exceptions and sustain ing in every particular the findings of Mr. George Green of this city, to whom the case had been referred as special master. The opinion covers forty-six type written pages and analyzes the com plicated case minutely. The sustain ing in all particulars of Mr. Green's findings is regarded in local legal circles as a high testimony to his clear-sightedness in classifying the evidence as special master. The ex ceptions which were overruled had been filed by leading lawyers of New York and Philadelphia. . The opinion means in plain lan guage that the local firms which stood to lose amounts aggregating many thousands on the issue of the suit have won. The dredge boat had been libeled, and the point at issue was whether supplies and equipment purchased from local concerns con stituted a prior claim to obligations incurred by the boat in the North. The ruling of the court is that since the purchases made flown here were those absolutely necessary for the dredge to conduct operations at all. that they should be the first claims settled. The losing side still has the right of appeal to the Supreme court, but Judge Connor's opinion is so minute and anarently so conclusive that the beli'fc'ijrtmglh" New Bern" that no appeal win oe taken.

Solicitor Allsbrook expressed his willingness to leave the matter in the hands of Judge Ferguson and the jury the youth ful prisoner having no counsel. The boy asked permission of the judge to address the. jury and his request was granted. He put up a good argument but fate was against him. In closing he turned to Judge Fergu son and said: "Yer honor, Ah hopes, yer'll hab a heart an' be light on me; gib me ernudder chance an' Ah shore will grow up ter be er good man one dat you'll be proud ob; do dls, jedge, an' Ah'll not fool yer." The judge responded, "All right; I'll try you," and turning to Clerk Mew borne he said: "Twelve months In jail with the privilege of the com missioners to work him on the roads." - ' Just before adjournment and while two jurors had . filed in , the room to render verdicts, the boy saw his chance took a sneak and made a clean getaway. It is said that he sent a message something like this back to Judge Ferguson: "Judge, Ah'ns sorry, sah; Ah gib yer er chance to do sumpun fur me but yer wouldn't do It; so, sah, Ah'll hab to try ter C sumpun fer inahself good bye, uah, Ah leabs yer wld no regrets.":. 7 . : ' , ed explorers. .

The Germans were marked among trees over a mile away. The Germans showered a rain of concussion shells on the r tillery of the allies and shrapnel on the infantry. The firing continued through Sunday afternoon and then weakened. French officers report that Ger man guns were then withdrawn and were merely used to cover the re treat of German forces. I counted thirty-two shells per' mniute from one gun. Many houses were fired by bursting shells. The allies finally charged recklessly through the heavy fire of musketry. The French commissary is main tained close to the firing line. .
