mon to the young men of "Laurens that this
town received its, name from John Laurens,
son of Henry Laurens, who was born in

THE CHARLOTTE JONES CASE.
What the Clerk of the Decatur Supe
rior Coart Has to Say About It.
Editor Morniv'j Sews: An unintentional
injustice, I think, is done me in an Atlanta
dispatch in the Morning News of Nov. 3
in reference to the sentence of one Charlotte
Jones (isMonedl. I was not the Clerk of
Decatur Superior Court at the time of the
trial and senteme of said Charlotte, and,
therefore, I cannot sav whether or not a
copy of the amended sentence referred to
was sent to thi, keeper of the penitentiary
(and Cant. News and not Col Towers was
then the keep#) and am certainly not re
sponsible for any lack of notice In the case.
As to change of her sentence, as soon as the
facts were-brought to my knowledge by Mr.
O. M. Rawls, of this county. I immediately
sent to Col. Towers a copy of the amended
sentence, which explains itself, and wrote
him as quoted in the Morning News of
Nov. 3. These are the facts in relation to
the case sp far as I know them.
In the same dispatch your correspondent
says: was a somewhat similar case
from Decatur county a few months ago.”
Now let me stare the facte in that case.
The case referred to Is that of the State vs.
Simon and Minerva Brock. They were in
dicted for and convicted of burglary at the
November term, 1886, of our Superior
Court and sentenced for a term of one year
in the penitentiary, and sent right off to
prison. Their counsel, Hon. D. A. Russell,
moved for, and at the May term, 1887, of
said courL_nblained anew trial, and then
entered for them a plea of guilty of larceny
from the house, Upon wdiich (by and with
the consent of their attorney in writing
that they serve oitt such sentence as the
court might impose upon them
wherever they were then confined),
they were sentenced to a term
of imprisonineht of six months, instead of
one year, and the very day on which this
new sentence was passed I made and mailed
to Col. Towers a copy of it, and supposed
that he had received it until Col.
Russell informed me that the defend
ants were still in prison, some
time after their term had expired, and I
then made atid sent to Col. Towers a second
copy of the rtmended sentence. These are
the true fact* of the cases. Please publish
this in justice to myself.

that J. H. B, Mathews (commonly known as
Boots Mathews) had shot and killed Mr.
D. C. Snelson, a highly respected citizen of
that place.
ORIGIN AN# DETAILS OF THE DIFFICULTY.
It seems that Boots Mathews had been
ginning for Snelson, and while there bor
rowed some plank from him. On Thursday
Mathew* finished ginning and removed his
machinery.' That evening the two men
met hi Lincolntpo, when Snelson said to
him: . -.-■
“Mathews.did you return that plank you
borrowed from wej”
Mathews replied. “No.”
Snelson tsen said: “You are going to re
turn them, hurt you:’*
Ms thews (Kaid ’No.’’
“AVell, then," said Snelson, “you are
guilty of >i rfltalalty trick.”
Whereupon Mathews 1 pulled out a
38-ealtbre Smith & AVesson pistol and shot
him just below the left temple. Snelson
fell to the floor njortally wounded and lived
only a few minutes. There were present at
the shooting Messrs. P. J. Holliday, J. J.
Murray, S. L. AVi Ike* and George Av. Part
ridge. The first idea that occurred to those
present was to render all assistance possible
to the wounded man. Mr. AVilkesran fora
doctor, while the others did all they could
for Mr. Snelson. During the excitement
Mathews escaped and left for jiarts un
known.
THE CITIZENS OF LINCOLNTON
are very much outraged, and are scouring
the country high and low for Mathews. In
addition they hate offered SIOO reward,
whieh rewani will doubtless he supple
mented by Go . Gordon.
Clerk T. S. Hollingshend andS. L. Wilkes
came to AVashington Thursday night, and
teiegriiphed toAhe various cities so as to
horn Mathew* in.
Mathews js tt kinsman of some of the
AVilke* county Mathews family, and a
nephew of W. N. Merrier, the cotton factor,
of Augusta, The Coroner’s jury returned a
verdict of murder at the hands of J. H. B.
Mathews. ,:
ONE HUNDRED HOLLARS REWARD.
The citizens of I lincolnton offer a reward
of SIOO for the arrest and delivery of J. H.
B. Mathews. The fowl mg is an accurate
description a possible do give now:
Mathews is about six feet high, has dark
hair and dark complexion, weighs about 160
pounds, cross-eyed, and is 30 or 37 years old.
He has a slight linip in walking.
