Who Fired the Gun.
Jacksonville, Fla, Nov. 27.-The Brad
ford county murder trial continued to-
day. The evidence on the part Of the de-
Tense was that Bowling had picked a
quarrel with Driggers. Driggers had told
him that he must not try to bulldoze him
and that Bowling had replied, with an
oath. "If don't, I'll kill you" Imme-
diately a gun was fired. The 14-year-old
son Of the defendant made splendid wit
ness, and States Attorney Hartrldge
struck a tartar when he tried to cross
question him. The evidence of the lad
and his brother and mother was to the
effect that the statements made
by them before the coroners
jury were made under excitement
and for which they were not responsible
as they were intinidated by members of
the jury. The defendant. in making his
statement in regard to the gun being fired,
said that when Bowling cursed him Dow
ling leaned over as If to get hold of the
defendants gun. and he (the defendanO
made a rush for 1t. He could not say
whether the deceased had got hold of
the gun and shot himself, or whether he

The People Waiting for the Judge
to Fix a Date for the Trial.
Gibson. Ga, Nov. H.-The people in the
immediate neighborhood where the white
lady, bessie Shelton, lives, whom Balam
Hancock raped last week, do not seem
to be satisfied at the action of Judge
Reese in his delay in setting date for
an extra term of court for the trial of
the negro, and the probability is that the
enraged citizens may, unless the day for
the trial be fixed Immediately by the
judge, attempt to lynch the assaulter at
any time. and, should this be the case,
there may be blood spilled. Sheriff Brad
dy has a determined posse guarding the
jail, who say the negro shall not be killed
by the infuriated mob, nor liberated 10y
the sympathizing blacks. 1t is hoped
that Judge Reese will act promptly and
set a day for the trial Immediately. With
this exception, all is quiet.
