WILL FACE ACCUSERS

that the later will be here November
8 to stand trial.
Judge Barclay also stated that
cured a horse and buggy from a
Laurel stable and repeated the per
formance. It Is said that the same
thing was done at Meridian, Hickory
and other places. The last report
from the man was that he had gotten
in jail in Memphis, but he was rec

Mr. Hardy saw the man this morn

There seems to be but little doubt in .
