The Munford Murder Case.

The trial Of Garrett Munford and
the other parties charged with the
murder of Pike Radford on Oct. 6,
was concluded yesterday. The five
men arrested on the warrant sworn
out by VIM. Long were released, as
there was no evidence against them.
Munford was held over under $500
bond and Is now In Jail till March
When put on the stand Munford told
a. very poorly concocted tale and
was evidently lying. He claimed
that they met in the road and that
Rsdford assaulted him aud got him
down and was about to kill him
with knife when he got out his
own knife and proceeded to defend
himself, and then left him in the
road.
2 Radford was cut on both sides OF
the neck, ON the arm twice and
stabbed once in the abdomen and
twice In the back. All this Munford
claims was done in self defense, al
though Radford's knife with tobacco
crumbs in 1t was found closed in the
dead mans pocket. The defense will
attempt to advance the theory that
Radford was killed by the cut on the
arm and that no fell into the sink
hole 200 yards away while trying to
find house, as he was bleeding to
death. AS Radford knew every house
in Eve miles of the place and as his
money had been stolen and the body
had evidently been dragged, this tale
is decidedly diaphanous' The kill
Ing was brutal assassination and
Munford's neck should pay the PEN
atty.
