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. When the hearing opened today WOMAN*DIAGNOSES TROUBLEOFWORLD sS 4 4 •x ; ¥ NS *;*: Mlle.

Mr.' Stewart be gan his story of the tragedy a blanket of silence fell over the ones assembled. The little mm ister’s voice was clear and calm for she most part. Ah examination by Solicitor Griffith the minister declared that he recognized “Jeff Henderson and his two sons and Tom Gober, Jr., and Calvin Bishop. He also declared that “Sted Hesperlee was the first man I recognized of the gang. 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.
