Only One Case Docketed Before Court
Today.
But for the fact that Will Graham,
colored, "lit a rag" last Saturday, this
would have been the second day this
week without a session of the Re

tried for an escape from the roads,
having; been brought back from Mon
roe, N. c, where he was located
shortly after he decamped. Recorder
Harries thought 60 days additional to
the original sentence would satisfy
justice, and Graham was taken back
'0 the roads with two months extra

tun break for liberty.
