COURT WORK
GEOftGE GETS A SENTENCE
OF FIVE YEARS
Jry In the Frail Lertgett Xas Re
turn a Verdict of Guilty Trttatc
vs Sieyern Aol lrossed
After beimg out 29 hours the jury
in the Edmoud George case returned a
rerdictvof guilty on tne second count
nf the information charging him with
receiving stolen property
Thursday afternoon the jury in the
Ledgett NPrail case fornication return
ed a verdict of guilty
Judae Tucker made a motion for a
new trialbasitghis motion principally
upon the ground that the verdict of
receiving was not justilied by the evi
dence and that the court had no juris
diction Tucker handled his case well
andffought hard for his client In
overruling the motion for new trial
Judge Kinkaid said that he would
haveirendered a Terdict of guilty on
the finit count but the jury had a per
fect right to bring in the verdict they J
did Georges story was an unreason
able one aud in itself showed a guilty
knowledge of if not actual -complicity
in the crime of stealing In09 out of
100 cases stories of this nature were
purp fabrications No honest person
would have received the cattle under
the circumstances related by George
George undoubtedly had confederates
on one side or the other ot the state
line and he was receiving his just
deserts It is a pity his confederates
could not be brought to justice The
public is becoming disgusted at the
safeguards thrown around criminals
by the law and will not longer tolerate
stealing
In sentencing George Friday after
noon Judge Kinkaid took occasion tto
deliver a roastiiigilecture to the prison
er WheniiSKett re ne naa anytning
to sy he respondedun a flippant raan
nerymo sir not a word The judge
complimented him upon the nerve he
displayed but thought his confidence
was shaken He recalled the time
when George was arrested tried and
acquitted of stealing wheat some two
or three years ago At that time
said the Judge I believed you guilty
and I believe it yet He further said
he thought it would have been a good
thing for George if he had bean con
victed at that time- His acquittal has
made him more bold and had acquit
tal followed in this case it would be
hard to tell just where he would have
stopped He hoped this seBteDce
might have a -good effect He sen
tenced him tofive years at hard labor
Henry Ledgett and Belle Frail were
given each six months in jail and
tiued the costs of production In ad
dition Ledgett was fined 75 and the
woman 1 Ledgett was also required
to pay the costs and fine
The sentence of the woman was sus
pended during her good behavior
Kinkaid Jgave Ledgett a rousing
lecture one which was perfectly with
ering Jmige said his crime was one
which was of common occurrence out
seldom prosecuted It is a crime not
against an individual but against
society at arge Ledgett is au old
offender add no stock is taken in his
story of this being a love affair
The woman would gain nothing by
marrying him Ledgett hvd brazenly
defied public protest and this migh
teach him a lesson The woman was
told to behave herself and stick to tel
ling fortunes and if she could not be
have herself to get out of Cheny county-
The prosecuting attorney filed a
nolpros in the case ot State vs Meyers
larceny The judge commiserated the
young man upon his condition and ex
plained to him the effects of associat
ing with bad people Concluuing he
said Be industrious be sober be a
man The eyes of the commuuity are
upon you and upon your actions will
depend your future success
