COURT NEWS
Fn the Commissioner’s Court
last Wednesday, „ on the com
plaint of Mrs, F. M. Roberts,
of Blackburn, Miss Grace Fen
ton, l^ee Yancy, Scotty Henegan
and Joe Hutchins were charged
with breaking and entering the
John Funk cabin at Blackburn.
Mr. T, H. Do oboe appeared
for the defendants.
The prosecution placed a brok
en lock in evidence and pictures
showing articles outside the
cabin, which were supposed to
have been removed.
Deputy Marshal (Cavanaugh,
assistedby Louis Henderson,had
arrested the defendants in the
cabin where they were found
cleaning out same and papering
the walls.
The defense was that the cab
in in question had been rented
by Miss Fenton from Mrs Rob
erts lor $15.00 per month and
tho no written agreement had
been made, the defendant. Miss
Fenton, thought it was sufficient
-being on good terms with the
Plaintiff- to go ahead on the im
provements, purchasing Wall
paper and employing the other
defendants to put cabin in or
der for occupancy, furthermore
the defense plead that tiie de
fendants did not enter the cab
in to commit a crime.
Under cross examination, C.
Kello admitted that he had not
been near the cabin since July
4th. and Mrs. Roberts testified
she had not been there since
June of this year, points which
Mr. Donohoe drew to the atten
of tne C*irt, saying, “hundreds
of men could have broken the
lock between July and up to the
time of the arrest,” and tne fact
that three disinterested witnes
ses gave evidence that the door
was open twenty inches, prior
to the time the defendants ent
ered the cabin and that the pros
ecution had not proved who had
broken the lock.
On these grounds Mr. Don
ohce asked for a dismissal of
the cases. In reply, the Com
missioner stated that he knew
the Plaintiff’s cause was just &
that the Plaintiff had told the
truth, therefore, he could not do
otherwise than biijd thh delend
and, Miss Fenton, over to the
Grand Jury. The other parties
were all dismissed.
