A Flower Show,

examined the wound. Said that he| General Presentments of the
flenry Spencer and the crime that
he committed areboth known to almost
eveiy citizen oi - the county. We
doubt if there is a single one who has
not at least heard of him or his crime.
Oil the 28th day of last June Silen
cer shot Mose Green, an old negro,
his brother In-law, with a Winchester
rifle. .Abont eleven days afterwards
the old man died from the effects of
the wound. After the shooting Bpen
cerdid not leave the country, but,
wrmed with his trusty Winchester (he
is an expert shot) remained in' the
woods of the neighborhood, in which
the killing occurred and openly defied
arrest. Numerous attempts were
made to arrest him. On one occasion
Sheriff Doss and posse surrounded
him in a house. The night was dark
and rainy. When the officer called
upon Spencer to cwne out or he would
be killed, be replied with a volley from
hia rifle, poured through a window.
The officers returned the fire. Spencer
put the lights out in the house, and
while the poise was deciding ifpon the
next plan of attack, he pulled a board
up from the floor, slipped through the
hole and made his escape iu the dark
ness. From that time on he became
the terror of the neighborhood. It ia
said that many peop'e were afraid to
go out of their house after dark. A
few weeks later Mr. Jim Jones, who
was out hunting for the outlaw with
Mr J. A. Hurst, was shot with a
shotgun but not seriously injured.
It is the impreesion of many that
Spencer shot him from ambush, but
there is no evidence that such was the
case. Spencer was subsequently ar*
rested by the strategy of Sheriff Does,
who employed some of the negro’s
friends to get him drunk and bring
him in. Such in brief is the history
a portion of Spencer’s career.
The case wss called the first thing
yesterday moraing. Messrs. Titus
and Hammond, two of our brightest
young lawyers, were appointed to.de-
feud the prisoner. Solicitor Peeples
was alone in the prosecution. A jury
was secured in a reasonably short
time, and the trial proceeded without
delay.
The first witness introduced was
Dr. Baston, of Ochlockonee. He
swore that Moee Green came to his
office for treatment, but could not
remember the exact time. He was in
bad condition ; his wound consider
ably inflamed and very offensive- He
did not examine the wound closely or
treat it, as the negro had no money.
It was abad looking tjound and wai
taking on fever. The negro was
complaining of pains.in the head. The
wound was cut acroes forehead an
inch. The bullet struck a glancing
lick.' The effects of the wound caused
death, in Lis opiuion, though it was
not a mortal wound when inflicted.
Mr. Titos examined IBe Doctor at
length on the construction of the
human headland the effect of various
wounds and their symptoms.
Maria Johnson, who was the wife
of Moee Green when he was killed,
next testified. She said that Spencer
came to the road in front of their
house and calling Moss out asked him
for “that dime you owe me.” Mose
told him he did not owe him a dime.
Spencer then shot him and came to
the door where Mose fell and took a
pistol from his ' pocket Mose
laid there some time. Was picked up
and put to bed. Stayed in house
three days before he was able to
move. Complained of “misery 1
his head. Was shot on Wednesday
and went to the doctor the following
Saturday week. He died the next
day, Sunday.
Mr. P. P. Dixon swore that he saw
Mose Green several times before he
died and after he was shot First saw
him on the 28th of Jane,saw him again
the next day and saif him on Satur
day before he died. He was in a bad
condition, was very nervous and com
plained of great pain in the head.
He also saw him after he was dead.
Sarah Green swore that she saw
Spencer shoot Moee Green. Green
lived some days afterwards. He lay
down most of- the time and walked
about bat little. Moee had a pistol
in his pocket
Manaey Green swore that Mose was
her lather; that he irnow dead, and
* that Henry Spencer shot him. She
saw him shoot 8be saw her father
with a pistol a few days before, bnt
never heard him say anything abont
inserted a straw into the hole in
Green’s head to the depth of an inch
an inch and a half.
With this evidence the state closed.
The attorneys for the defense, after
a long consultation with their client,
decided to introduce no testimony,
but to nlluw the piisouer to make a
statement.
Spencer took the staud and stated
that he went to the front of Green’s
house and asked -one of tlio women
who was on the porch to tell Mose to
send hiifl the dollar and a half which
he owed him. About that time Mose
came to the door and putting his hand
in his pocket pulled out-a pistol and
raised it aB if to shoot him. He then
raised his tills and shot Mose. When
ho heard Mose fall he went into ? the
house and took the pistol from the
wounded man’s hand. Showing it to
the woman in (be house he told them
that hp intended "to keep it to show
the court that he shot Green in self
defense.
This closed the evidence in the case
and the argument begun.
Mr.-Peeples made a short but tell
ing speech for the prosecution. He
was followed by Mr. Titus for the de
fense, who talked at considerable
length. Mr. Titus \mado a strong
plea for his cheat. He took the
ground that the wound inflicted on
Green by Spencer ijras not necessarily
a fatal one; that his death was caused
by neglect aud lack of proper medical
attention. In c’osmg ho made an elo
quent appeal for mercy at the hands
of the jury.
The jury was out about three quar
to » ot an. hour, during which time
there was c msiderab’e speculation as
to what the verdict would be. All
though; the negro was guilty, but
th..* g neral impression was that the
jury would recommend him to mercy.
Daring this time Spenoer, who know
that ei her. death oriife time imprison
tni-n ? would be his fate, with the
chances strongly in favor of the form
er, sat perfectly still, but bore a down-
cast, disheartened' look. He dit-
played very little nervousness, bnt it
was apparent to all that he was labor
ing under great excitement. When
finally the jury flled iuto thecouit
room, there was a decided cessation
in the bum of conversation, and as
the verdict: *• We, the jury, find the’
prisoner gui-ty,” was read oat, a
deith like stillness prevailed over
tbe court loom Sheriff Doss was
seated near the prisoner,"and when
the verdict was announced he
bad his hand on Spencer’s
shoulder. Spencer never moved
a muscle. He did not seem to
realizi what it meant. He never ut
tered a word. The sheriff pat the
hand cuffs on him and started with
i iui for the j til. While on the way
Spencer still maintained silence. Fin
ally Sheriff Doss said:
“Henry your lawyers may ask for
a now trial, but unless they do and it
is granted, your time on earth is
short.
‘They wont hang me will they?” he
inquired quickly, showing no little ex
citement. _
“Yes, that’s what it means.”
“Well, I will get justice from my
Maker, if I cau’t here,” he said and
again relapsed into si'ence.
No further conversation was bad
between officer and prisoner.
After the reading of the verdict
and the removal ot the prisoner, court
was adjourned and the large crowd
dispersed*—Daily T.-E Oct 25.

Spencer’s Lawyer Will Ask for
A New Trial.
Mr.Theo. Titus, who defended Henry
Spencer, who was convicted of mur
der day before yesterday, informed the
reporter yesterday that he intended
to file a motion for a new trial at once*
He did not state what grounds he
would ask for it on, and would not
express hia opinion as to what the
chances were of is petition being
granted. There are some who think
that if accorded to a new trial Spen
cer’s neck will be saved, while others
are of the opinion that he got no more
than hu deserts.—Daily T.-E. Oct. 26
Hardy Goff swore that he carried
Green home the day before he died,
that Green came to his house after
going to see the doctor. He was in a
dying condition then.
P. P. Dixon recalled^ stated that he
shaved Green’s head and examined
the wound closely but did not probe
it. When ha would blow his nose the
air would come out of the wound.

Stole His Harness.
Mr. Joseph Singletary was in town
yesterday. He hitched his horse in
rhe “rascal yard,” in rear of R. L.
Hicks & Co.’s drug store. About cn>
o’clock he went around to hitch up
and go home, when he discovered
that his harness was gone. Some
one bad removed it from the horse
and carried it away. "Mr. Singletary
made a dose search of the place . for
it, but could not find a single trace.
He was forced to buy a new set of
harness before he could drive home.
We karn that a set of harness was
stolen in a similar manner from the
yard in fear of. Mr. Tuttle’s jewelry
sRJre the day before. There is no
duo to the guilty parties; but the
officers are on the look out.
Messrs. E. P. S. Denmark, 8. T.
Kingsberry and J. Gl Cranford were
in town yesterday. They were bore
in the interest of some important cas
es pending in Echols court- They
hkd a hearing before Judge Hansell
yesterday afternoon. One ot the claims
involved $40,000 aud another $25 ;
000. The Judge appointed masters in
chancery in both cases.
no speedy repairs except in the roof-
This is reported to be still ini a
leaking conditior, and as probably
the best means of remedying this, we
suggest, to the proper authorities, the
letting of the job to a competent
workman upon a guaranteed contract.
THe poor house appears to be well
kept. Everything about the.building
presents a neat and cleanly appear-r
once. There are only ten inmates—
two whites and eight colored* We
find that one of the fire places needs
some repairs and that a few of the
posts in the fencing are rotten. These
repairs are the only recommendations
that we have to make-in reference to
this institution.
We find the jail in deanly condi
tion and the prisoners seemingly as
well cared for as their crowded com
dition will permit. The arrangement
of the building is convenient and the
ventilation perfect We learn that
the jailor’s family has had considera
ble sickness recently, but to what
cause this may bs due, we are unable
to say. We have’no expert plnmbcr
in our body and therefore cannot
judge intelligently of the sewerage of
the building. We find that tbe base
ment, or cellar, is .provided with a
plank floor. Also, that in wet
weather the walls become quite damp,
while water rises and stands upon the
ground beneath the floor. As a sani
tary measure we recommend that the
wooden floor be taken out, and that
the ground and walls be cemented.
From the best informationthat we
have been able to obtain, the roads
and bridges axe in fairly good condi
tion, In some places the roads are
not sufficiently wide to permit the
easy passage of vehicles. This should
be remedied, and we recommend that
all overseers, at ths next working,
see that all parts of their roads are
worked to the width required by law.
We also learn that in a few instances
the footways have been torn away,
and in some places the ditches along
side of the roads have been filled in,
to accommodate wood haulers and
others in entering and going from the
roads in their wagons. We urge all
overseers and commissioners of roads
throughout the county to be vigilant
in averting such acts.
Inasmuch as all the-records of tbe
'county were examined by the last
grand jury, and regarding the incum
bents of the several county offices as
both competenVand faithful, wo have
deemed it unnecessary to make any
examination at this term.
We are glad to learn from report?,
and to believe after dilligent enquiry,
that the liquor laws are much less
frequently violated than formerly,
and especially on the Sabbath day.
While the criminal docket of our
county chows a frequency of crime
that is to be dep’ored, we are gratified
to know that the spirit of lawlessness,
in the form of mob?, white caps and
like secret bodies, which has prevailed
in so many sections of the country,
and which has resulted in so much
terror, violence and blood shed, has
not found a foothold in our couoty or
in our immediate vicinity. To the
end that we may' remain free from
such innovations, and at the same
time reduce lawlessness in all its
forms, we commend the people, and
especially the young men, upon whom
the duties and responsibilities of gov
ernment must soon rest, to a stricter
observance ot, and a higher regard
for, the laws of the land.
Believing that the education of the
masses is the surest means by which
good government as well as good so
ciety con be secured and maintained,
we heartily approve the steps being
taken by our capital city looking to
the establishment of public schools
within hCrborderr; and trust that
this sentiment will grow and spread
until such schools will become su£
ficiently numerous to offer free edu<
cation to every child within the coun
ty
Oar body, haying been informed
by Chairman Hayes that Mr. J. B.
Thomas, who was elected by the last
grand jury a member of the Board of
County Commissioners for the term
of two years, refuses to serve, we have
elected Dr. E R. Young, of Metcalfe
District, to fill Mr. Thomas’ unex
pired term.
We recommend that the pay of
jurors and bailiffs for the ensuing year
be the same as paid this year, two
dollars per day.
In the -endeavor to discharge our
duties, we have had frequent occasion
to seek the aid of our Solicitor, Col.
H. B. Peeples, and so cheerfully has
he responded, and so conscientious has
been his advice, that it' becomes
pleasure to tender him our thanks,
and to express our admiration for his
integrity.
We also acknowledge our indebted’
ness to Sheriff Doss for his prompt
ness in securing the presence of wit
nesses and otherwise aiding us iu the
dispatch of business. Him afeo do we
cheerfully commend for efficicency
and dilligence as an officer.
Before bidding adieu to the court
we desire to assure his Honor, Judge

The October term of Thomas Su
perior .Court was adjourned by Judge
Hansell yesterday moraing after be
ing in session for nearly two weeks.
This term of the court haabeen a busy
one and ajlarge number of Both crimi
nal and civil 'cases were disposed of.
Yesterday morning the case of the
State va John Jones, perjury, which
was continuedjfrom the day before on
account of one of the State’s witnesses
being absent, was taken up. Mr. W.
H. Hammond, representing the de
fendant, asked for a continuance on
the ground that one of his witnesses
was sick and unable to be present and
testify. This was granted and Jones
gave bond and was released.
Chas. Spanish, colored, was next
brought into court to answer an in
dictment charging him with burgla*
ry. He pleaded guilty to a similar
indictment last week. His lawyer’s
realizing that he would be convicted,
decided that the-best thing they could
do would be to pursue the same course
in regard to the last. Thera is an
other indictment against Spanish for
burglary which will be held up until
he pays the penalty of the first two.
After the disposition of this case
the petit jurors were discharged by the
court, who thanked them for their
prompt attendance and faithful per
formance of duty.
The grand jary then filed iuto the
court room and after reading' out
their general presentments were dis
