SENSATIONAL DEVELOPMENTS IN THE

,s,sc,s, telegram to the Dispatch

RrYrou. n. c., March 1.-THE develop
ments in the case of James Is. Davis, the
Murderer of John ID. Horton, of Chatham
comfy. are very interesting. AS you have
heen Uniformed. there is little or no doubt
that the murderer's name ~ VIII Shackel-
lord and that he was guilty OF horrible
crimes in South Carolina some three years
AGO and fed from that state; DAVIS testi-
fed during the trial that he killed Horton
in self-defence, using boot-Jack as wea-
non. Horton at the time trying TO shoot
him This testimony was gwen IN so
STRAIGHTFORWARD manner that 1t impressed
some people. particularly III Pittsboro'
with n belief that Daviss story had some
truth in il and that his sentence ought TO
he committed to life imprisonment. But
the body of Horton was eXhumed Satur-
dav and was examined by Drs. Cot
TON O'Kelley. and Young at the re-
onest of DR.. l.. A. Hanks, county
physician of Chatham. There was large
gathering of citizens at the dislnterment;;
The physicians certify that they found
upon the head one smooth cut two ana
half inches long through the Uranium INTO
the brain substance, and another cut OF
Ike character one and half inches
long: also. that the skull was cracked by
two blows bva blunt instrument, the crack
extending from the topic the right temple
bone. They certify that the wounds were
inflicted by sharp-edged steel instrument.
These facts show that Davis told false
hoods, and after the statement OF these
reputable physicians it is probable that
the petition for communication Will not be
sent the Governor.
