two negroes, Marshall Wright aud John Nc
Elroy. The following are the facts rs devel-
olcd in the examining trial at Hustonville,
on Tuesday, the lo,h instant.
nmbcrlakc went to Danville, Wednesday
morning to get some money from bank, and
a'kei Gooch to accompany him. Gooch con
-cntcd, il Timberlske would pay expenses.
In the evening they returned together to
shelby City, aud staid there until after dusk
Gooch, while there, approached several ne
groes and proposed that they follow him and
Undertake out Of town, rob Timberlake, and
they would divide the spoils. Two or three
declined the speculation, but the temptation
was too great for Wright and McElroy. They
stationed themselves at a wood-rick, a mile
from town, according to the instructions Of
the chief conspiraior, seized Tinberlake's
horse when he rode up, demanded his money,
and, on his denying that he had any, Wright

then gave it to Gooch. On securing the
pocket-book, containing about one hundred

fell from his horse and exclaimed that il was
"Bill Wilson" Undertake put spur to his
horse and went home. Gooch's instructions
to the negroes was to catch Undertake and
beat him like h II, and to beat himself only
little.
Undertake, the next morning, found the
negroes on the dairy farm of the Messrs. Me
Elroy, recognized them and had them arrest
ed. They each made a full confession Of
their guilt. Gooch was then arrested, and, on
his premises being searched, Undertakes
pencil and twenty -seven dollars in small bills
were found concealed in an augur-hole in his
stable.
At the examination alluded 10, before
Judge Lamb a nolc proscqu was entered as to
John McElroy, he being considered the least
guilty of the trio, and it being desirable to
have his testimony against the others.
Gooch and Wright were held for further
trial, and allowed bail-Gooch in the sum Of
1890, the negro in the sum Of $500. Fail
ing to give bail, they have both been lodged
in Jail.
