The Ardeu cases have been ended, that' is bo far as the special term of Superior court is concerned, for that term dies today. The Jury, which took the cases luesday afternoon at 1:45 o'clock, alter- repeated attempts to rea.cn an agreement, came into court nere yesterday aiteruoon and announced to Judge Hartling that tuey were aopeiesaiy tieu as io -iar- tin Hickman.

The court took, the Ad dicts as to Alyrtlo Pressly, wno was lound not guilty and l'raay, who was round guilty and ordered a mistrial as to KicKman and dismisseu the jury. 1'oliowiiig the eleventh-hour ap peals by attorneys lor 1- rady, Judse Harding sentenced the young man to serve two years on the county roads. He appealed and appearance bond was named at He was also forced to give an appearnce bond ol in the arson charge against him, 'which will probably oe tried at the next term of A new trial was ordered in the Rickman case and bond of $2,000 was named for his appearance at the next The court took a nol prosse in the arson case against the i'ressly girl. Couldn't Kai.sc Costa, Judge Harding ottered to suspend! udgment against Frady if he would pay all the costs in all the cases, I which will iimnimt tnn l.n, after a consultation with lawyers, it was announced by an attorney for Frady that his people could not raise over $200. The court room was crowded to see the final outcome of these fa mous cases, which have attracted more attention perhaps than any case that has been tried in liuncombe county in many years.

room was at a premium when Judge Harding announced that he was ready to receive the verdicts in the Frady and Pressly eases. It was only after much argument that the court finally persuaded the Jurymen to answer correctly when lie asked them if they had reached decisions as to Frady and I'ressly, the the members insisting on saying simply "Guilty" or "Not Frady's attorneys demanded a poll of the jury and every man answered that he had found Frady guilty. The Pressly girl personally thanked the members of the jury, shaking hands with each member, as the tears streamed down her face. Many women, evidently relatives of the defendants, could be seen crying when the verdicts were returned. As the matter now stands, Rickman will be given a new trial on charges of blackmailing, being out under an appearance bond of $2,000 and he will be tried on charges of arson, being under a $1,000 appearance bond in that case; Frady is under a $2,000 appeal bond for his appearance at Supreme court, under an appeal from the two year's road scn- jtence for blackmailing and $1,000 bond for his appearanct on the arson charge; the Pressly girl is found not guilty of blackmailing and a nol prosse was taken in the arson charge against her.

Fraily Has One Hand. During the course of the. pleas which attorneys for Frady were making In the court, just before sentence was passed. Judge Harding stated that he believed there was more evi dence against Frajy than any of the others. Attention was railed to the that Frady had lost a hand when small boy, but the court said It was late for these pleas after the Jury nan lounu me derendant guilty.

The three defendants, Martin Rick man. Edgar Frady and Miss Myrtle rresRiy, young people of the Arden section were arrested last August by Sheriff E. M. Mitchell and his depu aner tncy had planned a. tr.n answer to a threatening letter that r.

Lance, an Arden merchant, had reccivca nemanaing that he leave money, Rickman and the girl were arrested as they rode a motorcycle towards the spot designated In the letter and Frady was caught in the wooas nearby. AH denied the charges. During the trial Pressly and Jllek. man took the stand, but Fradv rfu. io do sworn ana did not testify In case.

Llla Noeme, to a sudden close by forbidding him his house, the authenticity of some letters, alleged to have been written by Mrs. Noeme to Mr. Ellison, was brought in question. The. lady herself had strenuously denied that the alleged compromising documents had ever been written by her.

Counsel for Ellison had evidently framed his whole cross-examination of Mrs. Noeme upon these letters, and made a final effort to Introduce them In evidence by calling Mr. Ames, a well-known expert In handwriting. He deposed to have closely studied the letter In question. In conjunction with an admittedly genuine specimen of the lady's handwriting, and gave it as his opinion that they were all written by the same hand.

Ellison's counsel then offered the letters in evidence, and was about to read them to the Jury when the issistant district attorney asked permission to put a few questions. District Attorney "Mr. Ames, as I understand you, you were given only one sample of the lady's genuine handwriting, and you base your opinion upon that single exhibit: is that correct?" Witness "Yes, sir, there was only one letter given me, but it was quite a long one, and afforded me great opportunity for comparison." D. A. "Would it not assist you If you were given a number of her letters with which to make a comparison?" Witness "Oh, yes, the more sam-pies of genuine handwriting, the more valuable my conclusion would become," Pepper Talks By George Matthew Adams Edge The story is told of a great Musician who once stated that if he miBsed his Practice for but a single day.
