Union county. The crime Of which
DuFran was accused was that OF muir
dering the marshal of Tyndal on the
18th of July. Marshal Roose had ar
rested Duran for being drunk and dis
orderly and for shooting revolver in
the street and proceeded to take him
to the city jail. Having arrived there
ROose discovered that he had loaned
his keys to one Of the other officers
and he told Duran he would give him
his liberty If he would 60 home and
behave himself. Duran promised TO
cause no more disturbance and turned
to GO, but when he was about elk iest
away from Roose he pulled his revolver
and with the exclamation, .'D--n you,
take that" shot the marshal, who ex-
pred few hours afterwards. ROose
WAS highly esteemed and left u wife
and family. Feeling was very bitter
against Duran and q lynching was
narrowly averted. The jury returned
= verdict Of guilty Of murder in the
first degree, fixing the punishment at
imprisonment for life. Judge Smith
pronounced the sentence last Saturday.
