Sudden Climax
Of Trial Was
Let-Down, Hoey
Gives Lawyers Who Worked For
Two Weeks “A Washed-out”
Feeling, He Says.
"To work strenuously for two
weeks and then to have all your
efforts and work wiped out unex
pectedly with no beneficial results
from any angle is quite a let-down,”
declared Attorney Clyde R. Hoey,
one of the state counse.l. yesterday
in discussing the disruption of the
Aderholt murder hearing due to
the development of insanity by one
of the Jurors, J. G. Campbell, a
Charlotte news dealer.
"Day after day all of us connect
ed with the hearing had worked
hard to line up our witnesses, get
their, evidence properly worked to
gether, and the state had already
introduced evidence by more than
a score of witnesses and was pretty
well along with the case when the
blow-up came. And that work, quite
a task in itself, does not include the
nerve-wracking days spent trying to
pick a jury from 600 Mecklenburg
citizens. "And now'," he said, “we've
got to start all over again."
An outside Jury .
In further discussion of the case
local citizens questioning Mr. Hoey
brought up the query as to where
the next jury will come from.
“Since you’ve exhausted 600
Mecklenburg citizens already m
picking the jury which cannot be
used for the next hearing, and since
the people there have read about
and know more about the case than
ever before, it is going to be very
hard to get another jury, is it not?”
queried a bystander, who continued
with another question: “Is it not
likely that at the next hearing a
special venire w'ili be drawn from
some other county, perhaps Cleve
land?"
“That is a matter Judge Barn
hill will decide,” Mr. Hoey replied.
“It might be that a Jury could be
picked more easily from another
county.”
State Not Hurt.
Another question asked the Shelby
attorney was “Will it not hurt the
state’s case to start all over again
now that a big portion of your evi
dence has been presented in open
court and the defense knows what
it is?"
“Not so much in my opinion,”
was the reply. “You see the defense
was given the privilege of examin
ing our witnesses before the presen
tation of evidence. They know very
little more about our case now than
they did before we started placing
witnesses on the stand.”
Revelation that the juror who
became insane and disrupted the
trial might be mentally weak did
not come out, Mr. Hoey said, until
afUf he had been passed by the
state. Then, he added, it was im
possible for the state to excuse him
as a juror. None of his foolish an
swers to questions by lawyers came,
Mr. Hoey said, until he was ques
tioned by the defense counsel who
passed him,

ers would not be needed.
' On Sunday, February 17, of this

ing struck. Hornbuckle made a rap
id getaway and although officers
spread a dragnet throughout tho

city of Shelby $25, and the state of

Service stations in and about
Shelby have sold more light bulbs,
particularly for the little red light

the last month or so than during
the entire two years preceding.
And the filling station operators
are thanking the new state highway
patrol for the boost in business.
For the first week or two after a

night came when a woman, driving
a car without a tail light, saw the
flash of the officers flashlight and
immediately imagined that some
one was attempting a hold-up She
stepped on the gas and rolled rap

Drunk White Man Convicted Of
Grabbing Two Young Women
On Busy Street.
In county court here late
Monday Judge Horace Kennedy
sent Alonso Bartley, 23-year
old driver of a Bolling Springs
milk truck, to the chain gang
for four months after Bartley
was |ound guilty of assault, or
snatching at two well known
young Shelby women on South
LaFayette street In the Prin
cess theatre section early Sat
urday evening.
Bartley denied that he wus in
that section at the time but was
Identified by one of the young
women and also by a group of men
who ran him down after the alleged
assaults.
Was Drinking.
According to the evidence, Bart
ley, who was considerably under the
Influence of whiskey, met one of
the young women, accompanied by
her mother, on the street. Accord
ing to the young woman he brush
ed against her and clutched her
body with his hands. Practically the
same thing, it was testified, took
plaoe a few minutes later when he
passed close to the other young
married woman and laid hands upon
her body. In neither instance. It is
said, did he say anything or add
further insult to the uncalled for
use of his hands.
Gets Near Thrashing.
Both young women were consid
erably frightened and wrought-up
by his actions and one of them Im
mediately located her husbands
brother and told him what happen
ed. The brother-in-law accompani
ed by other men on the busv
street immediately gave chase to
the man, cornering him near the
Southern station, where the enrag-'
ed group was about prepared to give
him a good thrashing when polict
officers, who had been called, ar
rived.
When taken Into custody Bartley
denied that he was the man who
laid his hands upon the young
woman on the busy uptown street
and said that he had been to Boil
ing Springs and back about time the
alleged assaults took place. He ad
mitted, however, that he had been
drinking wine. Officers say that
after an Investigation they found

Bolling Springs and coming back
to Shelby, failed to check up.
Both young women together with
relatives appeared In court to testify
against the defendant.
In addition to a two months sen
tence for each of the assault charges
he was fined $10 and the costs for

most suitable booth of the display
by the farm women will be taken to

Twenty-Five Cent Fee For Checks
No-Good And Home Fee Daily
Over Due Note*.
Two service fees will be instituted
here by the three local banks, the
First National. Cleveland Bank and
Trust company and the Union
Trust company, it was decided this
week by the bank officials. The pur
pose is to check two growing evila
that are not only costly to the banks
but very annoying. Those service
charges are in line with what other
banks are doing in North Caroling
to facilitate the economical and
business-like handling' of account*.
Fee For Unpaid Cheeks.
Beginning next Monday, Sept.
16th. all three banks will charge
each depositor 25c for each check
that is deposited without sufficient
funds to cover. While the service
charge is against the depositor for
whom the bank handled the worth
less check, the depositor will have
recourse on charging this fee back
to the person who gave it. The prac
tice of giving checks when there
ore not sufficient funds In the bank
to cover, is one of the greatest evils
with which bankers have to deal.
It is too much trouble when a cus
tomer comes up with a deposit of
a handful of checks, to investigate
each account on which these checks
are given and determine whether
they are good or not, so all checks
are taken as good, tf drawn on local
banks and the fact that many do
not have funds to cover, is not dis
covered until these checks are
posted.
Each bank rtncu from a dozen to
a hundred checks without sufficient
funds to cover each day and ex
pense and time are wasted in
deducting such checks from de
positor's account and returning.
Therefore when checks are thus
found to be on accounts without
funds to cover, the banks will in
augurate the practice of charging
such depositors 39c for each check
that is not good. Bank officials sa7
they reluctantly decided on this
course, but are driven to it in or
der to check the evil and save tinw J
and expense.
Overdue Note Fee.
The other service charge to bt |
inaugurated October 1 will be a tint -
or 28c per day for over-due notes.
Borrowers are notified from tea
days to two weeks in advance of the ||
date notes are due and too often ;
these borrowers overlook payment
or renewal at the appointed time. ||
Hence the charge o/ 39 cents will '
be made for each *day a note lg
over-due and notices will be sent
each day that this charge is mads.
The purpose of this charge, the
bankers say, is to bring about a;
saving to the bank in postage, labor
and sationery in sending repeated ;
notices and for the further pufposs
of encouraging promptness on the
part or customers in financial mat- v|
ters. As an additional reason the J
bankers say the bank examiners I
come in unexpectedly and protest !
when notes are found overdue.
