horse falling on her and bruisng her

good way would be to hoiIt him by means
of long chain attached to his tail to the
top of pole 40 feet high, then hoist him

pole. Then let fall five ton pile driver,
and if that don't break him lot him start
a newspaper and trust the people for sub
scuption. One of the two will do 1t

Afternoon, and Verdict Rendered ut
One O'Clock TOday-The Boys Crime.
Billy Mcdaniel and Henry Webb, COL
ored. have been found guilty by jury
Of IL men good and true of the crime OF
murder in the first degree, the penalty of
which is death.
The case against these boys, for such
they are, neither being over 10 years of
age, was given to the jury in the Crimi-
nal court at 4:15 yesterday afternoon
after the closing speech had been made
by Solicitor Carter, and Judge Jones had
delivered the charge.
At $50 this morning the jury had not
agreed and the court proceeded with
other business. A large crowd remained
in the court room to await the verdict,
but it was not until nearly l O'Clock
that the twelve agreed. They entered
the room and in reply to the question if
they had agreed answered in the affirm.
ative. Through W. B. Clayton, its
forman, the jury made answer:
"Guilty Of murder in the first degree. ="
The counsel for the defence demanded
that the Jury be polled. This was done,
and each juror as called gave the same
answer.
Judge Jones recalled the jury as it was
leaving the box and started to speak of
the righteousness OF the verdict, when
Attorney Chas. A. Webb interposed an
objection, saying that il a new trial were
granted the words Of the court might
prejudice the case, and Judge Jones there
upon withdrew the remarks. A motion
for new trial was made, and the noon
recess was taken.
On the night of August 20 Mcdaniel
and Webb went to the house of Hannah
Winters, colored. in Happy Hollow. In
the house was Charley Erwin. colored
lad who had apparently displaced Nc

woman. Webb called Erwin to the door
and as the boy responded Mcdaniel fired
twice at him. Erwin started for the
rear door and Mcdaniel fired two more
shots. Erwin fell out of the door and
rolled almost into the branch which runs
in the rear of the house. Erwin died
almost instantly. Webb and Mcdaniel
