ONE BULL-HEADED JURYMAN
Causes a Jury 10 Re Held for IT..
VeStigatiOn

DALLAS, Tex, Dec. 24.-Today the
jury in the case of DR.. ii. Jones, charged
with numbering Capt. w, q. Veal dur
ing the Confederate reunion at Dallas
In November, 1892, came into court and
said they could not agree. Judge Clint
asked if there was any probability of
their re aching verdict by longer de
liberation. The reply was there was
rot probable chance. Judge Clint
then stated he had in his hand a note
from member of the jury to the effect
that directly after they retired
one Of their number boldly announced
that he had already made his mind up,
and the rest OF them could weigh the
testimony, reflect on the arguments and
refer 10 the judges charge to thci:
hearts content, but, as for him, he would
never convict DR.. Jones.
lie SAID that he knew Capt. Veal, and
knew him TO be ScOundrel and hypo-
critic and that he deserved to be killed.
He also knew some OF the prosecuting
witnesses TO be OF the same stripe
Judge Clint added that the purity Of
the jury box ought 10 be maiL-
talned at any cost; that if the con-
tents OF the notes were true the
juror i'll question was guilty of perjury,
and that lie had perhaps been Drlbpd,
and at any rate was iii contempt. The
Judge said he would suspend action UNI
Ill the grand jury could make an inves-
tigation, and for that purpose he or
dered the jury to appear before the
grand jury next Thursday morning and
answer such questions as that body
shall see proper to PROFOUND. In the
meantime the jury was discharged.
Judge Clint declines to give the name
of either the author of the note or the
JGrer who entertained such prejudice.
Ihe affair caused a great sensation in
Dallas, particularly in court and legal
circles.

wife walk nearly half a mile to a shed,
where they were kept prisoners for
about twenty minutes, in order to give

SAVANNAH, Ga. Dec. 24.-Special
kilograms This afternoon from reliable
parties at Quitman, Ga, throw
different light on the wholesale
slaughter Of negroes in that cOun-
ty. The dispatches say: Never
before in the history of Brooks county
has there been SO much crime and
biUOdshed as within the past week.
News has just been received Of ont
RACES committed in the Morven district,
this county, that will almost equal the
hidcOus crimes recently perpetrated
upon inotfensive Armeniaus. A few
nights ago Joe Isham, a well-known
whiIe man, was shot down in the road
at night by Dave Pike, negro. The
friends of Isham claim that it was with
out prOvocatiOn. but some of the citi-
Zens say this is not true, that Isham
was trying TO kill the negro, but
the negro got the better of it.
Isham's friends armed themselves and
went IN search of Pike. Not succeeding
In this they went to the house of Sam
Taylor, an inOtfenSiye old negro who
is the step-father OF Pike, and threat
ened him if he did not tell where Pike
WAS that they would kill him. Taylor
affirmed that he did not know anything
about 1t and he WAS immediately shot to
death, several bullets entering his body.
From aylOr's they went to the house
of Eli Frazier, who has always borne
the reputation of being a good negro.
Frazier was carried down the road
Ahort distance, and when his wife
found him he was lying murdered by
the roadside. FIOm FraZier's they went
to the house OF Harry Sherwood, an
innocent negro. who was also fOully
murdered. 1t IS reported that the MUIR
deTers, after they had killed these lnnO-
cent negroes, entered their houses ana
subjected their wives and daughters to
the NEST cruel and barbarous out
RACES ever committed in civil
Zed community. 4 detailed account
would be too horrible to appear in print.
The murderOuS gang is still at large,
and some of the negroes are leaving the
community for protection. An inquest
vas held over the body OF Sam Taylor,
and the cOroner'S jury returned yer-
diet of murder at the hands of judge
Tillman and Bill Alderman.
Sheriff ThreSher has made no effort
TO stop these, and he is being severely
censured by the best class of citizens.
All good people of the community
deeply deplore the crime, and will en-
deavOr to bring to justice the parties re-
spOnsible for il.
