This week the condition of DIR. VIM.
Weathersby is even more critical, and his
life hangs by thread. Fearing the worst,
Justice Baggett went out on last Sunday
and took his deposition as to the shooting.
A second operation was contemplated
Monday by Drs. Martin and Bennett to
extract the shot, but it was abandoned as
likely to imperil the wounded mans life
without any favorable results. Yesterday
evening Miss Parilee Lanier, sster-in-law
of Rollins who shot Weathersby, was
brought to town under arrest, and will
undergo a preliminary examination be-
fore Justice Baggett. This proceeding is
had upon the assumption that the shoot
ing of Weathersby was the result of con-
spiraoy.
