Mock Trial Attracts Large Crotvd
At The Black Mountain High School
An entertainment of unusual
lerit kept a large audience in a
ontinual uproar of laughter when
he Black Mountain Fire depart
nent staged a mock trial at the
chool auditorium last Tuesday
light. Reverend Eskridge of
iwannanoa and Mr. Allen Coggins
if Bee Tree assisted in putting
in the trial.
George E. Kerlee, chief of the
ire department, was the defend
int in the case. He was charged
vith breaking into the drug store
ind taking therefrom a certain
;odak.
The picking of the jury caused
nuch merriment. Twelve men
vere first summoned from the
ludience, but several were retired
ifter being questioned by the
heriff. Mr. John Thomas was dis
nissed when it found that he sold
jas in the city, and Mr. J. W. Kil
ian was likewise asked to step
lown on the ground that being
nanager of the telephone com
pany, he handled the telephone and
ight bills of Black Mountain and
herefore could not be a disin
erested juror.
Mr. C. W. Buckner acted as
sheriff, and in a most splendid
vay he swore in the jurors. He
leld up the kodak alleged to have
been stolen—and made each wit
ness swear that he would tell
everything but the truth, and
nothing pertaining to the truth.
It would be difficult to tell which
witnesses were for the state and
which for the defendant, since
each told everything about the
defandant that he knew. The wit
nesses were as follows: Cardy
Burnett, Earnest Gilbert, George
Murrell, L. E. Sigman, J. L. Stepp
and Joe Gilbert.
The evidence showed that the
witnesses, in company with Mr.
Kerlee, had gone to Swannanoa
with the intention of attending a
Masonic meeting, and probably
some of the jurors were with
them. Several of the witnesses
swore positively that the kodak
and a tire tool which they had
before them, were the identical
articles they had seen Kerlee with
The kodak, they were sure, be

longed to him, since they had seen
him kodaking after the break-in
on the North Fork with several
girls. The chance for the alleged
law-breaker looked rather gloomy
for a time but he managed to
weather the storm.
After mixing up the evidence
to such a degree that no one
could possibly know what hap
pened, the case ended and the
jurors retired to reach a verdict.
They were W. C. Allison, Van
Patton, Anderson, F. B. Dennis,
E. T. Viverette, J. B. Carey, Leroy
Mashburn, Percy Mathews, Trey
Ion Browne, Z. V. Crawford and
W. C. Greene. After a short time
they returned and F. B. Dennis,
foreman, announced the verdict,
“Not Guilty.”
The audience seemed astounded,
since with all the evidence against
Kerlee, it was felt that the ver
dict must certainly have been
guilty.
Mr. Eskridge, one of the at
torneys for the defense, made the
following statement to the Judge,
Mr. James Kinsey: “Your honor,
the defendant was nobly defended,
but what I want to know is
whether he is going to pay me
for defending him?”
It was an enjoyable entertain
ment, and the large audience that
gathered in the auditorium thor
oughly appreciated the efforts of
the firemen.
