Pierce County Justices Commit
ment of Murderer.
1t is very rare that a man pleads guilty
to murder, and yet according to the COM
mitment of R. &. Higgins, a justice of the
peace of Pierce county, the document states
that Jerry Moore tcolored) valves a trial
and pleads guilty to the charge of murder.
Moore was arrested at Fernandina and
brought TO this city Saturday by Sheriff
Davis of Biackshear, aud was committed to
the county jail for safe keeping for shooting
and killing a colored man by the name Of
Patterson about three weeks ago
1t is likely that the Pierce county magis-
trates commitment should not be taken
literally, and Jerry Moore may have lost
