trial. Huber concluded it would.be better for him to plead guilty, which he did. He will receive his sentence tomorrow. Albert Mayfield stood his trial. A jury was empaneled. Huber came to his rescue and tried to swear him out of the attempted robbery. Mayfield denied having any hand in it also each of them testified that Charles Fetterly and Henry Gray were in the conspiracy to rob although they took no part in the assault. Fetterly and Gray were arrested on this same testimony a few months ago and a full hearing was had before justice of the peace Givens. They completely broke down the evidence of Huber and his pal and estab- lished their innocence by an overwhelming number of witnesses. The justice discharged them. The defendant Mayfield was proven guilty beyond all doubt. The jury were out but a few minutes and brought in a verdict of guilty. Both of the amateur highwaymen will go to the pen. Several motions were disposed of and a number of indictments were brought in by the grand jury.

If Uncle Bill should call at your office you might give him the address of the Widow Snodgrass.
