SALEM NEWS.
COUNTY COURT.
Shepherd to be Indicted on 43
Counts.
ROANOKE TIMES BUREAU,
HOTEL LUCERNK. SALEM, VA.


The greater part of the time Of the
county court yesterday was taken up
with hearing the case of the Common
wealth VS.. Joe Brackett, colored.
The evidence was to the effect that
on the 18th of last December there was
a colored festival at the colored church
at Brackettown, near a " Spring. n
difficulty arose between Granville liar
ston and Alice johnson and the fCrmcr
slit tho %latter's dress with a razor. She
went and told her husband, Arthur
johnson, and he, with Joe Brackett,
went up to John Israil's, whore Harston
had gone, and demanded IN eXplana-
ton of his treatment of his wife. "
Israel said he didn't want any difficulty
in his house. Johnston then wen out
and told Harston to come out and he'd
fix him. The door was shut by Hars-
ton Bracket at The anne time saying,
81 haven't anything to do with IT,"
Harston was heard to say ''if ! have
done anything to you, I ask your par
don," and Immediately a pistol shot
was heard, and HarSton was shot, and
accused Brackett.
Everybody in the house had run at
the shot. Ben Moon was the first to go
in, when he heard one of the children
of Israel say Uncle Arthur did it," re-
ferring to Arthur Johnson. Ben went to
Harston who was leaning against the
wall and was told hat Joe Bracket did
it. Joe denied it and offered to be
searched. John Israel and his wife
both swore that Bracket did it. The
latter's character was shown to be good.
Fraser Brackett, Joe's father, occa-
stoned some amusement by saying hat
he had eighteen children the last time
he counted them.
The jury hung, six being for acquittal
and six against, and was discharged.
The court humorist, Mr.. McAuley,
says The jury was hung IN a Brackett."
: The liquor cases will probably come
up to-day.
The Shepherd case will probably be
postponed till next term. Shepherd will
be indicted OF forty-three counts on tie
new Indictment. His new trial was
granted because the former Indictment
did not specify any single case of en-
bezzlement.
