THE PINE HURST OUTLOOK. 2 Magistrate's Court. Squire Bunnell held court in the Vil lage Hall yesterday afternoon and u large audience composed of our northern visi tors attended. The only business before the court was the case of Saddler vs. lloss. The complaint charged that on or about the 1st of October the defendant, John E. l'oss (colored), stole from the house of J.'IJ. Saddler $5.00 in money and spent it for clothes. It appeared that he was caught the same day with about 5.00 worth of clothing in his possession, and through the efforts of his father the clothes were taken back to the merchant from whom they were bought, and the money returned to the plaintiff. Soon after a. warrant was issued for his arrest and yesterday he was brought be fore Squire Bunnell for trial. Court opened at 2.30 p. in. with Squire Bunnell on the bench. W II. Warden of Worcester, Mass., represented the State and C. I. Wright of Kockland, Mass., the defendant. Several witnesses testified to the theft of the money, but under the sharp cross-questioning of the prisoner's counsel nearly all admitted that the prisoner was queer and was hardly re sponsible for his actions. The only witness for the defense was the father of the boy and he testified that the lad was queer and had been subject to spells for a number of years, that he had been given so much camomile it had taken away his sense. He had taken one dose big enough to kill a mule, but he still lived. Counselor Wright handled the case with skill and made the only plea that could have any effect under the evidence, that the prisoner was insane and irresponsible. Attorney Warden contended that the prisoner was guilty and that the evidence gave the State a clear case, which it un doubtedly did, but the fact that the other side claimed that the boy was insane caused the judge to appoint two medical experts to examine the prisoner and re port to the court. Dr. W. II. Parcels, of Lewistown, Pa., and Dr. C. S. Adams of Wallaston, Mass., made the investigation, and as a result of the examination reported that in their opinion the boy was of un sound mind. The counsel for the prosecution then arose and prayed the judge that he re lease the boy and put the case on file. After a careful summing up of the case Squire Bunnell decided that he would grant the prayer and dismissed the boy with some advice which also included the father. The sympathy of the spectators was with the prisoner and the decision of the court was warmly commended. Squire Bunnell in his final address spoke eloquently of the duty of the citi zen to the State, for the maintenance of good morals and honesty in the com munity. He dwelt strongly on the dig nity of the la w and the State, and those present were impressed with the sound ness of the ideas he expressed. The guests in the village presented the father of the boy with a purse to help him take care of his imbecile son. Lawyer : "It is true that my client called the plaintiff an ox; but, consider ing the present high price of beef, I do not consider that a very great insult."" Fliegende Blatter. PERSONAL MENTION.
