The Shankelford Case.

The case of the State vs. John G.
Shackelford, charged with whipping
his daughter to death, was tried be.
fore Squires Tidwell and McCallum
in the Circuit court room SATURDAY..
A. large crowd was present. The
prosecution employed no counsel
and it is said that much damaging
testimony was not elected. Shack
elford was released in consequence,
He was at once re.arrested on a war.
rant charging him with beating bis
wife. The Two cases are said to
show up extreme brutality on Shack
Chords part towards both mother
and child. After the whipping be
gave the child she linrered several
days and died. She was about Is
years old. Her body was covered
with welts and bruises.
We understand that much indig-
nation is expressed in the 9th dis
trict about the affair and were
Shackeltord lynched by a mob it
would not be surprising.
The case against him for whip
ping his wife was compromised
that is Mrs. Shackelford fled bill
for divorce, he made her . deed
to the farm, the crop and all the
personal property, and skipped out.
She is to take this property and to
pay what few debts he owes.
Shackelford has heretofore borne
a fairly good name and could get
a reasonable amount of credit
among the merchants here. His
cruelty to his wife is said to extend
hack over ten or fifteen years and
the poor woman was so much
afraid of him that she kept her
troubles to herself, afraid to tell
her own father and brothers. Her
story lis said to be heart-rending.
The grand jury will certainly indict
Shackelford and the extreme penal
ty of the law ought to be meeted
out to him.

The third party people in this

fact that one was q moral question

BRIEF LOCAL MENTION .

| We learn that some people ar
disposed to censure the magistrate
before whom Shackleford was tried
for whipping his daughter, saying
they were two lenient. Those WHIT
heard the testimony Of the defense,
with no prosecuting attorney to
elicit the facts on the part of the
plaintiff, will admit that the magis-
trates did their duty as they con-
scientiously er,believed was right
Truthful outside rumors or facts
not brought before the court, can
have no weight with the magistrate
trying case.
The attention of school directors
and magistrates is called to series
