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.

I passed  Uncle  Billy  Wilson’s  the  other 
day  and  let  me  tell  you,  Mr.  Editor,  that  place 
needs  a woman  awful  bad.  So  many  lone 
widows  in  the  country  and  so  many  places  going 
to  rack.  If  Uncle  Bill  should  call  at  your  office 
you  might  give  him  the  address  of  the  Widow 
Snodgrass.
