The case of State vs. Sheriff D. Bryant Harrison, charged with shooting a negro during the summer months of 1925, did not come to trial here in Recorders Court Tuesday as had been arranged., The trial has been set for Tuesday, March 4. Col. Ed. S. Abell is representing the State and Judge J. Lloyd Horton of Raleigh is representing the defendant.
Trying a sheriff in the criminal court is rather an unusual event an much interest will be taken in the outcome of this case.
