Among the new informati5ns filed by
District Attorney Gaudet we note those
against Nelson Washington, Justice of the
Peace, for oppression in Office; Philip Will
liams, Constable, for perjury; Dallas Brown
and aaron Lang for shooting with intent
to murder; Henry Jnekson, for carrying
concealed weapons; James jackson aud
Joshua Themes, alias Henry Kane, for
horse stealing. In the first two cases accused
have furnished appearance bonds. Brown
had been tried and acquitted of INJECTING
a wound less than mayhem; but the condi-
| ton of the wounded person becoming dan
gerous a new charge of shooting with in
tent to murder was fled and the accused
again arrested. Thus an interesting legal
question is raised concerning which we
shall have something more to say hereafter.
In Aaron Lang's case Judge Duffel has au-
thorized thesSheriff to accept an appear
ance bond Of 800 whenever d physicians
certificate that the young man Lang shot
is out Of danger shall be produced. Reu-
ben Wilson, charged with cutting his wife,
was out ON bond, but owing to the woman's
condition the accused was rearrested and
his bond revoked.
