his note for the amount with Doran Bros.
as indorsers, or with real estate as secu-

THE MORPHINE HABIT.
An inquest was held on the remains OF
Mrs. Sarah II. Williams, who was found
dead IN her room Sunday morning, and
verdict was returned TO the effect that the
cause OF death is unknown to the Jury
From the testimony, however, 1t appears
that Mrs, Williams was addicted TO the
mo- pbine habit, having hrst begun to
take the drug TO relieve her pains ol neu-
falgia, but whether the excessive
dose Of morphine taken on this
occasion was with suicidal intent
can only be coDiectured. j. e. Clifford
testified to unpleasant relations existing
between deceased and her son, who is al
legged 10 have been very abueive toward
her. j. T. Prewitt also testified TO cruel
by him, known by AL Williams,
aud That his abuse "brought her down to
what she isn ~ belieye,n said Mr.
Prewtt, chat have heard him say TO her
moro than once that hell was too good
for her" He said he knew Mrs. VIII.
llams well, that she was a dress-maker
and an excellent woman, and that he mad
offered her home If she would send her
son AL away.
HELD TO ANSWER
DR.. Sherrod appeared before Justice
Kendall this afternoon TO answer the
charge Of assault with intent TO murder.
There was no one present TO prosecute
aud there seemed to be nothing left for
the Justice TO do but 10 dismiss the case.
After waiting little while the court was
asked TO reduce the appearance bond
from $1,000 to $500, and this was readily
assented to. 10 Is possible that re-
quest TO dismiss the case would have been
quite as tavorably received after the fail
ure OF the prosecution TO put in an mp
pearance,
