T. W. Mcintosh was arrested
Saturday on a warrant Issued
from Judge Berry's Court, sworn,
to by Frank Forage, landlord of
the Midway Hotel, charging de
fendant with petit larceny. The
complaint showed that th9 de
fendant and wife had bepn
working for the plaintiff, Mr.
Forage, In the hotel; that during
the time plaintiff had missed a
number of articles out of the
hotel, among them bed quilts,
coverlets, napkins, dishes, etc.
A search warrant was sworn out
and a search made of defend
ant's trunks and in them were
found some of the articles,' but
the evidence did not show that
Mcintosh put them there, in
fact it was not shown who put
the articles in the trunk, as there
were some feeling between the
plaintiff and 'defendant, that the
plaintiff might have put them In
the trunk himself to get even
with the defendant. It was a
Jury trial. The otate was rep
resented by Judge Stewart and
the defense by W. E. Gwynn.
After the case was argued elo-
quently on both sides and the
Judge deljyered his charge to' ,
the jury these gentlemen retired
to private "room and in a few
minutes brought in a verdict of
not guilty. Costs $50. ' !
