FOR TRIAL BEFORE JUDGE BURNHAM.-Yes-
terday William b. Freeman appeared be-
fore the Mayor for the second time to an
swer the charge of garroting Mr.. George
81. Brown, and stealing from him gold
watch, one hundred dollars, q pistol, q
pipe, and hat.
Mr. Brown was sufficiently recovered to
appear in court. He testified as follows:
About I o'clock on last Tuesday week,
while a little under the influence Of
liquor, I met policeman George F. Xix
near the Third station-house. He asked
me where I was going. I told him where
I wanted to 60, and that didn't want any
interference, as I knew what was about.
then moved on. Shortly after this, l met
the prisoner, who volunteered to show me
the way to Mr.. ToWnsend's, where wished
to 20. We went a short distance across
the field, when I was struck back of the
ear, and fell senseless. The prisoner was
walking by my side at the time, and OBJ
served negro walking short distance in
front. suppose I laid there nearly two
hours before coming to. then wandered
off to Mrs. Grittiths' house, VINO sent me 10
the Third station. house.
Mr.. C. G. Walter was next sworn, and
testified that the prisoner had brought
watch to him, and offered it for sale said
he had worn it for three years, and that
his father had given Sl0O for it; that he
lived in Norfolk, and would sell the watch
for forty. five dollars, as he wanted to raise
money to 90 home. His manner and other
things aroused my suspicion. I got him to
leave the watch with me, and then in
formed the police. He was arrested by
them. Upon his person was found Mr..
Browns pipe, and in his trunk the hat.
The watch, pipe, and hat, were here
shown to Mr.. Brown, who declared that
they were his.
The Mayor then sent Freeman to Jail to

furnished Mr., Wheeler by Colonel
Burnbandt, that a boy named Con
rad Reed went with his sister and
younger brother, to a small stream
called Meadow Greek, on Sunday,
and while engaged along the bank
shooting fish he saw yellow sub
stance shining in the water, which
he picked up, and found to be metal.
His father carried it to Concord,
and showed it to William Atkinson,
the silversmith of the town, who
was unable to tell what it was. It
was taken home by Mr.. Reed, and
being about the size Of a small Shoot
ing-iron, it was used as a weight
against the door to keep it from
shutting. In 1902 he carried it to
market at Fayetteville, where the
jeweller pronounced it gold, and
melted it, producing bar six CT

the jeweller for three hundred and
fifty dollars, ''big price," as Mr..
Reed thought. Upon subsequent
examination, gold was found along
the surface on Meadow Greek, and
in 1903 piece of gold was found
in the stream that weighed twenty
eight pounds. Several other pieces
were found, varying from sixteen
pounds to the smallest particles.
