There is an unusually large!
llUtnber of Blurder cases to be tried 1
at this term of court. The trial I
uf Pru ther }) tnips j e charged with I
thc raurdei of Marvin EI | ison at a j
ginnery itl tht , western part uf the i j
tl . e county last fall. This will be j
a hsird fought C;l8e an d ttiiI con ,
fi „ me severa | davs itl the trial .
Capt. J. M. Pac-, Judge Gleaton
of Conyers, and Col. Dempsie, of
Jackson, have been retained as his
counsel. It was rumored last week
that Thomas E. Watson would
probably be associated with tin
case as leading counsel. However,
this is hardly probable.
The three negroes, Jess and
Henry Oiawford and Jennie Banks
will go on trial for their life, char¬
ged with the 'murder of an old
negro woman at Coopers Bridge
lust November. These negroes
have been in tlizj^A son jail lin¬
til two en they were
brought here.
Ed Cooper, another negro boy,
would have gone on trial for his
life at this term of court, but lie
was one of the escapes at, the jail
on the 20th of last month. His
whereabouts is still unknown;
however Sheriff Hay heard from
him once since bis escape. Tile
sheriff has more traps than one set
for him, and whether he is bagged
before court next week, lm will
more likely be grinning behind
the bars before another court.
The following civil business is
on the docket for trial at this term
of court:
Emmett Connelly vs. Jus. T.
Connelly, Suit lor land and set¬
ting aside deed.
R. \Y. Ballard, Adm’r. vs. L
