j. c. Bourland, who was indicted
with c. II. Hewlett for killing Gran
willie johnson, COL, at Crofton in Apr
1885, was tried Wednesday and given
two years in the poniientiary. Bour-
land was marshal of Darlington and
had a Hopkins county warrant for
the arrest of johnson. He followed
him into Christian and in attempting
to arrest him he made resistance and
Hewlett shot and killed him. Bour-
land is Il bright, courageous young
fellow, and during his trial his wife
and little boy sat by him. The jury
yindicated the law by giving him the
lowest penalty and all OF them at
once signed petition for pardon for
him. 1t was a peculiarly sad case. A
civil suit was also brought against
Bourland by Johnson's wife, which
resulted in verdict for one cent and
costs. johnson was very desper-
ate and very troublesome negro.
