Lottie Barnes was charged $29.25 for an assault on William
Blow and Blow was also charged the same amount for administering blows on
Lottie, which Lottie objected to letting his place.
William Sherman, Ernest Haskins and George Harris, colored,
preferred to play skin game yesterday rather than go to church and hear
preaching, and as a result it cost them $925 each.
Mack Swindell was charged $14.25 for being drunk and
disorderly.
Harvey Lamm was charged $9.25 for being drunk on the street.
Mose Summerlin was charged $4.25 for being drunk on the

Godly Dies Next Friday
Raleigh, Jan. 12—Churchill Godley, under death sentence for
an alleged attack on a little girl near Smithfield, in Johnson county, will die
in the electric chair. Governor Bickett refused to commute the sentence to life
imprisonment but did give a stay of sentence from December 16th,
when he was first sentenced to die in order to give the counsel of Godley and
his friends an opportunity to examine his sanity.
An alienist who examined him as to his mental condition
found that neither now or before the crime was committed was Godley suffering
from mental derangement of any sort.

Money Rolling In For
Socialists
New York, Jan. 12—Money to aid in the defense of the five
Socialists who have been suspended by the State Assembly, continued to flow
into the Socialist party here. Some of the checks are from both Democrats and
Republicans. It is understood that the Socialists will undertake to retain
Charles E. Hughes, who plead the cause of the socialists’ delegates urging that
they be seated in the New York Assembly to which they were elected, before the
Judiciary committee of the Assembly last Wednesday.

Mack Swindell Colored
In the Mayor’s court yesterday occurred the name of Mack Swindell,
but it happened to be a colored man and not our friend the painter, who is not
a habitue of the mayor’s court.
