'GWESE'' BACK TO Gala
BANH''
An Alleged Murderer. After Six
Years Absence. Going
Back for Trial.

Some time since the EXAMINER con-
tanned an account of the arrest in Cor
yell county, by deputy sheriff George
Oglesby, of this county, of one Franklin
Carter on requisitiOn from the COVER
nor OF Alabama, the charge against the
man being murder. The prisoner has
since rested in our jail, but he will start
back to the scene of the bloody deed
this morning to stand trial. The sheriff
of Clay county, Alabama, with an assis-
tant, arrived in the city yesterday morn
ing for the purpose of giving Carter safe
escort to Ashland jail, that place being
the county seat of Clay county. The
deed with which he is charged was COM
united about six years ago in the north
eastern part of the county, the victim
being one l.. B. Queen. The difficulty
occurred in a gin house, and the man
ner III which the death of Queen was
accomplished was by running a knife
into him. After the first thrust Queen
got hold of some instrument living
near by, and undertook to strike Carter,
but stead struck the jest in the
gin overhead which parted the bow
and gave Carter time to
rush upon and cut him down. The
of the victim and one or two o hers it is
said who are still living near Ash and
and who swlls testify for the state. The
murdered man was considered reaca-
BILE, uwright citizen and in his deathaI
wife and three children were left to bat
tie with the cold world. Crater is said
to have been Wild and reckless as also
his brothers. Since being in Corye,l
county as far as we could learn he
has conducted himself well. He passed
by his right name up there which was
what led to his ideutificat on. He
has a wife and family in Coryell
who of course must feel very
much Inundated over his arrest for the
alleged crime. The governor of Ala
bama offered a reward of 5000 for his
rest and return and vigiience has at
last been successful. His crime found
him out and he will now have IL chance
to prove whether he was iustifable in
taking Queens life or not. The sheriff
and his deputy came to Texas via New
Orleans and return via Little Rock aud
Memphis. They express themselves as
highly pleased with Texas AMI its peo-
pie and were surprised at the thrift and
energy displayed on every side. They
speak III glowing terms of the appearance
of crops and fertility of soil in compari-
son with the worn out light soil in many
parts of Alabama, on which {, rtilizers
have to be used from year to year to
get crops that i'll no sense compare with
ours in amount and quality. These
gentlemen had little idea of the vastness
of Texas or the thrift of our people, but
when they get back to the good old state
of Alabama we believe they will say
good word for the Lone Star state and
her citizens, and will not be of that
number who viii $ ~ we are lawless and
our officers no account. Our officers
have done a good deed for Alabama,
and officers and citizens in all parts of
the state are doing such deeds all
the time for other states.
