New TRIAL-Newton Floyd, confined in Jail
at this place and under sentence of death for the
murder of Dick Martin, in Castor county, has
been granted new trial by the Supreme Court.
1t was first reported that new trial had been re-
fused, but the Raleigh papers state that that was
an error. The intelligence that another trial was
refused had already been communicated to Floyd
and had depressed him very much. but when the
error was discovered and he was told that he had
another chance for his life, it is said he wept and
rejOiced exceedingly. 1t was like bringing man
from death to life, for Foyds only hope of escape
Is IN a trial, when he expects to get off with
verdict of manslaughter.
