Sam uel W. Smallwood, of New Bern, presi ding,, the attoraeja representing tho creditors produced evidence to show that Farrah and his wife had a few days prior to filing this petition remov ed goods to the amount of about $6,000 from their atore at Mt Olive and secre ted same at some place unknown to tho witness. ' The goods which were haul d - away at night according to the evidence given, were said to be goods that had just been received by the firm, and the contention of the creditors is that it waa a clever scheme to swin ile them of their money, and they are praying the court to order Farrah snd wife to produce the goods in question or their value in money. After hearing this ev- kit nee an adjournment was, taken for dinnnr, and during this time Farrah spproached Mr. Smallwood and draw. ng a large roll of bank notes from h's I ojket, amount not - known, . offered - -them to Mr. Smallwood to decide tbe matter, in hia favor.

At a late hour tonight thia bond had not been given, , Mr. Smallwood was very fair to Farrah and his wife and seemed very reluctant to place tbem 'under arrest, and stated that he wished to give them very chance to do the right thing and that despite Farrah 's outrageous ac tions as to offering the bribe he wiahed to give him all the assistance possible to straighten his affairs.
