Another killing.

Ned Williams Cut TO Death by SANDY
Beasley. BcasIey Escapes--Three
WOme Committed Under
Bond Of 500 Dollars,
Friday evening of last week a quar-
rel occurred between the women Of
Ned Williams and Sandy Beasley's
families on the King Plantation about
eight miles northwest of town. The
Immediate cause of the quarrel was
that Martha Beasley, passing Ned
Williams and his wife, seated on
cotton bag, heard her laugh and Gus
picioned that the laugh was at her
ex ense. There existed a feeling of
lll-will between the two families on
account Of previons dIficulties.-
Martha resented what she considered
an insult. Hot words passed between
them, which brought to the scene
Martha's sister. Wordscame to blows
and the mother of the two girls came
to their assistance. One of the girls
accused Ned Of slapping her, and the
the row was getting very serious
when Sandy Beasly the father
and husband rode up on mule,
shouting "Stop that fighting Dis
mounting he Was heard to say while
advancing on Williams, You or |
must die." A bystander warned Will
liams that Beasley had knife, which
he denied. The testimony before
Justice Figg as to the actual position
of the six persons at the time OF
the stabbing is conflicting. Williams,
wife said that she was at the time en-
gagged in a scuffle with Beasley's wife
to prevent her from striking Will
liams with club which she had. -
1t appears that the two other girls
must have been holding or making
efforts to assist their father in his
struggle with Williams. Howeve',
Beasley succeeded in inficting three
stabs in Williams body, two i'll the
stomach and one under the left arm,
from the effects of which he soon sank
in death.
Fearful of the gwful consequences
of his rashness. Beasley fled with his
daughters to the mountain. He sent
the girls back to see if the man was
dead Being convinced that he had
killed Williams he did not return
and has so far eluded arrest. Lucy,
the Mother, Martha and Mary Bea sly
had preliminary hearing before Jus
tice Figg last Wednesday. Capt. Day
and Judge Barclay appeared for. them
as counsel and Paul L. Jones for the
State, The trial WIS held in the
basement of the Courthouse and was
witnessed during the day by large
number of Spectators. Justice Figg
held the women to answer the charge
of murder in the sum of $500 bail
each, in default Of which they were
sent to Jail.
