F.L. Smith, chief of police, and R.E. Walters, city commissioner, left Tuesday, Jan. 19th, for Richmond, Va., where they will present requisition papers for W.B. Scott, former proprietor of a local grocery store. The hearing was held Wednesday morning at 11 o’clock in Governor Trinkle’s office.
It was alleged that Scott obtained signers to a note for $1,200 under the pretense that he was going to secure a number of other signers before he gave the note. The original signers now complain that he did not secure signers and that they are being held responsible for the amount of the note. When the action was taken to the superior court a true bill was returned, but Scott had already moved into Virginia and the papers could not be served.
Officer Smith and Mr. Walters went to Richmond to show cause why they should be allowed to bring Scott back into this jurisdiction to answer to the action or that he give bond for his appearance in superior court when the case comes up for hearing.
