County:
At chambers, this 14th day of
March, 1906.
The petition of M. V. Connell, El
la Hlers, Hattie Godbolt, Ida Moore,
Mlunie Brigham. Housey 'Hires, B.
Clayton, Robert Hackle, Alice
Wheeler, heirs nt-law of Anna Clay
ton. lecensed, for a settlement of
the administration of John Clayton
and I. N. Clayton as administrators
this morning against J. G. Rawlings
principal, and D. C. Ashley and W.
T. Lane, bondsmen, for the $1,200
bond /Jlhat Rawlings was under to
keep the peace when the Carter chil-
Jren were killed.
It will be remembered that W. L.
Carter swore out a peace warrant
against J. G. Rawlings a day or so
before the tragedy and he gave the
bond, Messrs. D. C. Ashley and W.
T. Lane going upon It. It Is under
stood that Rawlings secured them
and the case in court Is simply to
give legal directions to the payment
of the $1,200, which, ?t Is understood
will go to W. L. Carter.
It Is possible that the payment of
the bond may be contested on the
ground that W. L. Carter was not
hurt by Rawlings, but that would
amount to very little, as the bond
wa3 fixed to make him # “keep the
peace" and the evidence In the case
so far shows that he did not do this,
The following are the declarations
In the case as prepared by Carter's
attorney, Col. G. A. Whitaker.
