GENTRY KILLED A NEGRO.

rest of the Negro-MayOr's Wife
Goes With Him TO Jail.
Walnut Cove had profound sensa-
tion last week.
On Easter Monday Mayor Gentry,
who is also ex-sheriff of Stokes, and
one of the county's leading citizens,
assisted Walnut Cove's police officer
in the arrest of an intoxicated negro
named Louis Poindexter.
The negro resisted arrest and when
carried to the door of the calaboose
refused to go in, until after he was
by Mayor Gentry.
1t was soon discovered that the
negro was in a serious condition, made
so by the strokes of the mayor.
Next day the prisoner died.
This of course necessitated an in
quest and trial by the coroner, which,
for some reason, was delayed until
Friday, when the trial began. 1t was
concluded about three o'clock Satur-
ed a verdict to the effect that the
negro came to his death from the
blows inflicted by the mayor.
The SENTINEL is Informed that an
examination of the dead mans head
showed three distinct bruises. Blood
was also found settled on his brain.
A warrant was issued Saturday eve
ming, and the case not being bailable,
Mayor Gentry was arrested and car
ried to jail at DaDbury.
Stokes court opened today and it is
quite probable that the case will be
tried at this term.
The affair is indeed an unfortunate
one. Mayor Gentry is some 80 years
old and is a good man.
Citizens of Walnut Cove say that if
Mr.. Gentry killed the negro he did it
unintentionally and no one regrets it
more than himself.
LATER.-Since the above was writ
ten, it is learned that Mrs. Gentry
accompanied her husband to Dan
bury. 1t is also stated that the
mayor did not go to jail but was per-
mitted to remain at the home of the
sheriff, under guard.

from Bank Examiner Miller.
Mr.. Glenn says that Charlotte is

and Farmers National Bank which
aggregates something like $4,000.
An investigation of the banks
affairs showed system of irregulari-
ties, by the cashier, which has covered
period Of perhaps from five to ten
years. Mr.. Holland only owes $40, 500
of the $50, 900, outside of the bank.
Mr.. Holland does not deny his short
age, in fact he wrote letter to Dis
trict Attorney Glenn admitting his
guilt. Fast living is the main reason
he gives for the great trouble that has
fallen upon him.
Mr.. Glenn says that the ex-cashler,
who resigned yesterday, is completely
broken down with grief. He says that
the only thing left for him to do is
throw himself On the mercy of the
court.
Notwithstanding his large shortage

Mrs. Buchanan, the second wife of

this morning and her private consul

Mrs. Buchanan and Mrs. Coleman,
of New York, were with Gov. Morton
nearly an hour. All other visitors
were kept out, for the first time in
years. The Governor said at first he
could not interfere, but Mrs. Buchan-

to the Judge caused many persons to
say: "Glad TO see you back Judge. F"

The Bond Safe.

As an evidence OF the substantial
credit Of the City Of Winston, it may
be stated in connection With the re-
yesterdays issue, that the bonds were
sold to the same parties, at the same
price, several months ago, by the
Wachovia Loan & Trust Co., but
owing to some legal question the sale
was not fully cOnsummated at the
time. and now, after an investigation
OF all the conditions surrounding the
city, which establishes its credit, the
same creditors are still willing to take
the bonds upon the basis OF the origi-
nal terms

THE FORGERS CAUGHT.

John s. Kerse and Albert Arlington
were arrested yesterday afternoon for
passing forged checks. The men claimed
that they were in the employ of T. p.
Cahill of Lawrence, Mass. They were
wanted in Massachusetts, and Inspector
Phinney of Fall River was notified.
At 80 o'clock last evening he called at
the city hall for the two men and re-
turned to Fall River with them. The men
have been soliciting advertisements for a
book which is to be issued in the interest
of the National Union Of Textile Work
ers. They have been in the state num-
bef OF weeks and have worked" Provi-
dence, Central Falls, Pswtucket, Bristol,
Warren and Woonsocket.

CANNOT BE MOVED.
A Fine Residence Must BE Sold "a
Make Room For Improvement.

The fine old dwelling house, corner OF
Washington and Mathewson streets,
belonging to the Arnold estate, may be
bought for q song, if anybody will take 1t
away. All that is asked for it, 1t is under
stood, is $500. Its removal or demolition
is made necessary by the proposed widen
ing of Washington street.
Plenty of persons can be found to buy,
but the difficulty comes In getting per-
mission TO remove 1t, the consent of the
railroad and electric light, telephone and
telegraph companies first being absolute
ly necessary. 1t cannot be removed,
either, TO the detriment of trees. A gen.
tlemen called on the inspector of build
ings this morning and said he wanted a
permit to remove the old house to the
corner Of West Exchange and Acorn
streets. The program which was
outlined to him was appalling. In the
first place he must have the route all laid
out on paper, being careful to
avoid trees. IL this is satisfactory he
may file his application. Then he must
negotiate with the companies named
and il their consent Is obtained he may
get permission from the City Council to
60 ahead under the supervision OF the
inspector of buildings, etc.
From the experience of previous appli-
cants it is not deemed at all likely that
the house will be transported, except in
sections.
