The commitment trial of George
W. Allen for killing George
Worthen, near Piedmont iu this
county sometime ago,was taken up
at Zebulon last Tuesday morning
before Justices Coggins, Harrow
and McDaniel, and finished late
Wednesday afternoon
A large number of people were
in Zebulon to hear this trial.
Cols. E. A. Stephens and Loyd
Cleveland represented the State,
and Cols. J. Y. Allen, E. F. 1 >u
pree and J. F. Redding represent
ed the defense.
Loth sides put up a determined
fight, 35 witnesses having been
examined, and the judgment of
the justices was anxiously awaited
at the conclusion of the trial.
Mr. Allen said he did not do the
killing. This forced the State to
carry the ent ire burden of showing
circumstances and facts, estab
lishing guilt, us well as circum
stances and facts, showing mo
tives for the act.
The State showed the following
outline of facts: 1. An agree
ment between Allen and Wor
then to meet at the pasture on
Potato creek, where the latter was
murdered. 2. For the purpose
of laying out a fence, Allen went
to the place appointed, and not
only admits that fact, but was
seen there by witnesses. Worthen
also went to the appointed place,
hitched his horse and went down
into the pasture, where he was
killed. Here the trouble come
in, for there is no direct evidence
that Allen went further than the
buggy. He admits he went there
and waited there three-fourths of
an hour, in company with anoth
er person, and Worthen not re
turning he left.
The State, therefore, had tp
seek to show him down in the pas
ture by tracks and by mud upon
his clothes, and other means.
This took up the time of the
trial.
Three witnesses swore that Allen
had a croker sack under his arm
and another witness testified that
he had something the shape of a
gun in the sack, and that he de
livered the package to another
party. All this Allen denied,
leaving the issue squarly drawn as
to whether or not he went on into
the pasture and killed Worthen
or not.
The justices, after a patient con
sideration, bound the accused
over to superior court to answer
the charge of murder.
An application has been filed
for bail before Judge Reagan and
same will be heard as soon as
Col. W. E. H. Searcy can prepare
the evidence, which he took at the
trial.

INSTRUCTION.
.
The chautauqua is now a thing
of the past.. Saturday night wit
nessed a successful finish with a
concert by Wedemeyers band,
which gave such satisfaction dur
ing tlu 1 entire week, and the
Otterbein quartette, who, although
t hey were new to the people yet
they sung their way into the hearts
of the people during their weeks
stay here.
The lecture of Rev. R. 11. Mor
ris last. Wednesday night, “Ecce
Dens,’ - was a strong and master
ful effort and added fame to his
already enviable reputation which
he has won on the platform. Thurs
day morning Miss Ethel Surface
capt ivated the audience with her
arts of entertainment. Her recital
was one of the most enjoyable of
the week. Thursday night and
Friday morning the audience was
charmed by Hon. Luther Man
ship’s wit and eloquence as he re
galed them with stories of the
old-time colored man. He was
at his best in telling stories of
this kind and lie entertained his
hearers well. Friday night the
famous Passion Play was put on
the stage. This feature of the
program fully came up to the an
ticipations of the public and drew
one of the largest houses of the
entire week and the entertain
ment proved to be one of the most
instructive and entertaining at
tractions that was put forth by
the chautauqua.
Saturday was the groat day in
the events of the Barnesville Chau
tauqua. Senator Carmack, of
Tennessee, addressed one of the
largest audiences that filled the
auditorium during lust week. Peo
ple from the surrounding country
came in to hear the fiery senator
from Tennessee in his grand ad
dress. In a short speech of well
chosen words and timely remarks,
Congressman Charles L. Bartlett,
introduced the speaker who held
his audience spellbound for an
hour with his eloquence and logic
and reasoning powers. In the
beginning of his speech Senator
Carmack said: “Why continue
to vex the public with questions
upon which the people have
already rendered their virdict?
One great party has for its pro
gram protective tariff, gold stand
ard and colonialism, while the
other has free trade, bimettalism
and opposition to colonialism, and
it is only through a proper discus
sion of these great questions that
the people can reach a solution ol
them.” The senator then confin
ed his remarks to colonialism, set
ting first his opposition to the
present administration and its
policy with regard to the Philli
phiues and our foreign posses
sions. Touching this subject lie
said: “in former t times, when a
new state was added to the map
and a star to the llag it could be
truthfully said that it wus a sym
bol of statehood, citizenship and
the constitution, but now this was
changed to conquered province,
vassal subject and despotic pow
er.” He then touched upon the
trade of our colonies showing
where we would not derive a ben
efit and that it would be a draw
back to the United States. Sena
tor Carmack paid his respects to
our strenuous executive, President
Roosevelt, in no mincing terms
and his sentiments on this line
were heurtily applauded by the
audience. In closing his speech
Senator Carmack said: “1 long
to see the nation turn away from
the bloody gospel of the strenu
ous life and from the bloody
counsels of bloody men.”
