Charged With Murder of Mrs. Elizabeth Cross. Dave Shoeraake, a young- white man, was arrested last Saturday morning- by Chief of Police Smith, charged with the murder of Mrs. Elizabeth Cross, which occurred on the twelfth instant. He was given a preliminary hearing before Judge Sims at 11 o'clock Tuesday morn ing. being unable to employ counsel, Cols. Letter D. Puckett and Samuel C Dunlap Jr., were appointed by the -judge to represent him at the hearing. A number of witnesses were sworn and testified. Evidence of a very damaging character was brought out against him, tending to place the crime upon his shoulders. Witnesses tes tified that Shoemake had told them the night of the murder before the body was found that Mrs. Cross had been murdered and that a bullet hole was found in the back of her head. It was also brought out that Mrs. Cross had $25 the day previous to the murder and that Shoetnake, who was trying to get a man named Redmond to go to South Carolina with him, had said to him that he would soon have $25 with which to make the trip. After the murder this money was found in Shoemake’s pos session. This fact and others equally as damaging were brought out which strongly indicates Shoemake’s con nection with the crime. The evidence was sufficiently strong to authorize Judge Sims to bind Shoe- make over to the January term of Hall Superior court, when he will be tried. He is now in jail where he will be safe ly kept until his trial comes up. Shoe- make maintains his innocence and says that he is wrongly accused. NEW TRIAL REFUSED- Henry Roark Will Now go to the Penitentiary. First Methodist Church. The thanksgiving service at the irst Methodist church last Sunday as well attended and very much eu- >ved. Rev. J. M. W hite preached a lanksgiving sermon, which was strong ad forceful. The music Was very ap- ropriate and was an enjoyable feature l the service. At night the reports ■om every department of church work ere read, and a most excellent shovv- ig was made. Pastor White- read the jport which he submitted to the con- irence at Augusta this week. The anditiou of the church is much better lan it was one year ago, showing that reat progress was made during the ist twelve months. During Rev. J. M. ihite’s pastorate the church has pros- ered, which is very complimentary to im and to its strong membership. Daughters of Confederacy. The Daughters of the Confederacy ill meet at Mrs. J. R. Boone’s on next riday Dec. 2d at 3 p. m.

See them quick, irices on them are very law. The Supreme Court has refused Hen ry Roark a motion for a new trial. The decision was handed down last Satur day aud is as follows: The judge hay ing stated in the presence and hearing of the jury, at the time certain testimo ny was being offered in evidence by ihe state, the particular purpose for which it was admitted, the fact that he in iiis charge to the jury, omitted to again make the Su.^e statement in re gard to this ttszimony, is not sufficient ground for a new trial. The evidence warranted the charge complained of on the subject of mutual combat betweeu the defendant and the deceased, and there was no error in the charge upon the subject of vol untary manslaughter, or of justifiable homicide, of which the accused can complain. The entire charge fully and fairly presented to the jury the law governing the issue in the case, aud there was sufficient evidence to sustain the verdict of guilty. It is probable that Roark will go the penitentiary 1 very soon to begin serving his life sen tence for the murder of Ernest Find ley. Going Out of the Retail Trade !
