Although no disorder has oc
curred among the students, Sher

to remove Mrs. Baskin, inasmuch

were obviously aroused over the
killing.

R. H. Swann, of Knoxville, who
said last Wednesday night that he
found Patterson wounded, lying
on a sawdust pile about 500 yards
from the Baskin home, and who
was held in jail last night as a
material witness, was released
today under $250 bond.
It is understood that the pre
liminary trial of Mrs. Baskin
will be held immediately if Judge
Patterson decides upon a course.
According to officers, young
Patterson was struck by one bul
let from a small calibre pistol.
The bullet is said to have struck
him in the back, pierced his right
lung and lodged in the right
breast.

FIVE MEN ED
FOR SU 1 C OF
1
Buchanan, Ga., Nov. 21.-—Eight
men faced Judge F. E. Irwin yes
terday in the preliminary trial to
determine those to be bound over
to the Haralson county grand
jury for their alleged participa
tion in the shooting Thursday
night one week ago of Mrs. Rob
ert Stewart at Draketown.
Last night live of the eight men
were still behind the bars held
for the grand jury on charges of
murder.
Mrs. Stewart died last Friday
night in an Atlanta hospital as
the result of bullet wounds re
ceived when she went to the aid
of her husband, Rev. Robert
Stewart, Methodist minister, when
a -band of men attempted to kid
nap him.
Details Events.
The Rev. Mr. Stewart appeared
today in the crowded court room.
and in a steady voice detailed the
circumstances and events leading
up to the fatal shooting of his
wife.
From the stand he stated that
he was positive in his identifica
tion of six of the eight men who
have been under arrest in connec
tion with the attempted ab
duction and shooting.
Of the six men the minister
identified, five were held and one
released because, according to
Solicitor General E. S. Griffith, of
the Tallapoosa circuit, he had of
fered an “irrefutable alibi. t*
The man whom the minister
identified and said <( was one of
the first I recognized,” wasSted
Sesperlee. The other two re
leased because of their explana
tion of their whereabouts and for
lack of evidence were Emmett
Hesperlee and Tom Bishop.
Those Being Held.
Those held for the grand jury
were Jeff, Otis and Herbert Hen
derson, Calvin Bishop and Thom
as GoBer, Jr.
Solicitor Griffith stated after
the hearing that the release of
the three men did not exempt
them from indictment by the
grand jury when it met, if the
jury considered the evidence
against them strong enough, nor
did it exempt them from rearrest
if it were proven that their alibis
were not sufficiently complete.

beyond capacity and the city it

As the Rev. Mr.' Stewart be
gan his story of the tragedy a
blanket of silence fell over the
ones assembled. The little mm

for she most part.

he recognized “Jeff Henderson

He also declared that “Sted

stated it was his helief that Hes
perlee fired the shot which* result
ed fatally for his wife.
On cross examination the min
ister’s story did not vary.
Neighbors Testify.
Dr. E. A. Eaves, a neighbor of
Rev. Mr. Stewart, testified that
he reached Mrs. Stewart soon af
ter she was wounded and that she
told him then that “Cal” Bishop
was one of the men.”
Dr. Jessie Hogue and his wife,
who also aided the Stewarts after
the shooting, were called upon to
testify today and their story was
substantially the same as that of
Dr. Eaves.
It was announced that it was
very prdbable that a special term
of superior court would be called
here within two weeks in order
to try those who might be indict
ed for the murder of Mrs. Stew
art.
Rewards of $200 each have
been offered by the state for the
men who participated in the at
tempted abduction of the minis
ter and shooting of his wife.
