a big hand in the criminal courts

THE JURY’S DECISION
On a Verdict of Acquittal and
The Prisoner Is Free.
THE LATEST NEWS.
McGregor—Cody Case.
The above case which has been in
court and on trial at Warrenton the
past ten days lias been the topic of all
this section of the state since court
convened in that place Monday week.
There has been much said and publish¬
ed concerning this unfortunate affair
ana there seems to be much yet be¬
hind. After the attorneys ou either
side spoke for hoars and after the wit¬
nesses had been examined and jury
had gone to their room to decide on a
verdict and remained there two days,
there was another discovery made in
evidence to favor Maj. M .'Gregor.
This evidence was ruled out on Tues¬
day by Judge Lumpkin. His honor
charged the jury again and sent them
to their room to try again to agree
upon a verdict.
This week was the usual time for
court in Hancock, but Judge Lump¬
kin went up to Sparta Monday and
postponed that court until some time
in May. Returning to Warrenton to
urge the McGregor-Oody jury to And
a verdict as early as possible to save
the county so much expense.
It is thought that if tho jury does
not agree and a mistrial i3 declared
that the case will be brought to Tal¬
iaferro Superior court for trial as it
will be impossible to get another qual¬
ified Jury in Warren county. If this
turn is taken, it will be lively for our
town next court.

care of their followman when tor¬
tured like McGregor was and driven to
