REMARKABLE CASE, -
Of Gold Brick Swlndlsrs How De Thty Get So
i - -L -1 , , " ,
, ' Much Influence te Favor Them, ,- ;:
Raleigh, August 2. A statement has
been made in some of the papers that
Governor Glenn intended ? to pardon
Howard and Hawley,lthe gold brick,
swindlers who are serving ten year
sentences in the penitentiary upon the
payment of a $5,000 fine by each, "they
having been four years in prison. The
attention of the Governor was called to
these statements and he said that all
he knew of this matter was that it had
been intimated to him that, a proposi
ti m of this character might be made
and submitted to him. His reply was
that if it were made he would give it
careful consideration as he does all
case? without giving any intimation as
to what he would do after such looking
into the matter. The proposition has
not been submitted.
This is a very remarkable case and
the Governor in speaking about it today
said the people outside have no idea of
the tremendous i.uluences which are
being brought to bear to get these men
out of prison; that Congressmen and
Governors, anong-others, are in the
movement. For example Congressman
Sulzer of New York has written numer
ous letters to the Governor about Haw-
ley who is the New Yorker.
Mention was made in June of pres
sure brought to bear upon Paul Garrett
by people in New York and elsewhere
in behalf of Hawley and the Governor
has had to undergo the same sort of
experience. Of course it has has been
stated that there was a large criminal
fund back of these men. The whole
thing would make a most dramatic
story, as it is doubtful that so much in
fluence has ever been brought upon
Governors of North Carolina as have
been brought upon Governors Aycock
and Glenn. Governor Aycock pardoned
Bailey, one of the three swindlers,
largely upon personal application of the
Governor of Illinois, and now Howard
and Hawley declare Bailey was the
worst man in the gang.
DENIED DRINK OF WATER
Trivial Cium For i Sorlous Cutting Affair At
Thurnun.
Cutting affairs have become so com
mon that the Journal almost finds; it
necessary to make a standing head and
set all stories relating to sanguinary af
fairs of this kind under it. It will be
dandy and readers of the Journal can
refer quickly to the column where it
will be located and see if one of thier
friends has fallen by the knife,
The latest cutting occurred in Thur
man, Monday morning and the parties
concerned are negroes. David Bennett
is in the Craven county jail for cutting
Garfield Jones. The latter receiving
injuries from which he may not re
cover. The difficulty from which the affair
developed was a seemingly very trivial
circumstance and carries with it a whole
lot of food for reflection. The story
told by prisoner is that he (Bennett)
asked Garfield Jones for a drink of
water out of a barrel or tank which
Jones had on csrt. The latter ans
wered with a rough oath that he would
not let him drink and called hira appro
brioua names calculated to cause alight
After soma pleading and a; steady re
fusal Jones jumped off the- wagon and
grabbed a cant book. Bennett tad in
the meantime secured the desired drink
by stealth and Jones was angered by it
He struck Bennett with tht instrument
several times when the latter drew, his
knife and made a deep cot In the neck
barely escaping the jugular vein, when
Jones struck again Bennett closed with
bim and stabbed him twice In the back.
He bled profusely and became uncon
scious but rallied. Dr. Caton was sum
moned and reports the man as danger
ously injured. ' ; -, ; ; , ' '

NFVY BERN IRON WORKS.
Flam Being Enlarged And Equipped With
I Fin Modern Machinery.
The New Bern Iron Works' building
is being enlarged to the extent that
with the addition the works will be 60
feet front and 100 feet in depth. The
extension is to give more room for the
increasing business of the corporation.
It is having orders for large jobs and
under the new management it has as
sumed a different aspect and it carries
on an industry which will develop into
one of New Bern's most thriving in
dustrial -concerns.
To correspond with the enlargement
of the working area of the plant, new
! machinery has been put in position, con
sisting of a steam hammer, big lathe
radial drill and other devises which
make a thoroughly modem anJ prac
tical machine shop.
I The bulk of the business done at the
works is repairing boilers, engines and
all heavy machinery but they also
make castings, fittings and parts of
machinery. It is a business which a!
ways has a demand and most of the
time heavy demand for their work, and
one which indicates to a large degree
the extent of the activity in certain
lines of work.
One of their recent tasks was to
overhaul and repair the emrines and
other machinery at the water works
and electric light plant. In this job
their assistance was timely and very
efficient. They prove their ability as
skilled mechanics and competent re
pairers in everything they undertake.
The New Bern Iron Works has taken
a new life and it is one of the best in
dustries of the city It has a large
working force and an institution
worthy of the success it is enjoying.
Delayed Funeral Services.
On account of some delay, the re
