great excitement among the people
about Port Norris, and every ywhere
Sunday the matter was being dir

that the crime seems to have been

ure defending his home which Is his
castle.
It is not likely that any new points
will be developed st the ir que, to-
day, and Hays will be committed to
jail without bail. The six witnesses
will be held In bail. and 1t Is not likely
tht they can obtain any bondsmen,
and they will also be sent to the care
of Sheriff Shinn.
1t is ques tion whether or not the
case can be e, ten ready for the May
term. which begins Tuesday of next
week. II seems now that Hays will
not ackno wledge his guilt, and the
case must go before a jury. 1t the
case should be moved this term, 1t
makes much more important business,
and the May term promises to spread

The evidence was bout detailed
In our report of the murder J es terday,
and at Its conclusion the jury rem dered
verdict, In whi,1 it was disclosed
that Alexander Hays did wilfully,
feloniously and maliciously kill and
murder the said ) ohm Booth, and that
Thomas Shorts did aid and abet the
same"
Hays was committed to the County
] all without bail, as was also Thomas
Shorts, to await the action of the
Grand Jury. Four witnt sses were
also committed to jail in default of
bail, to secure their presence at Court.
1t Is not likely that Shorts will be In
dicted as an accessory, as there seems
to be 40 evidence to connect him with
the actual killing of the man.
All the parties were brought up ON
the train in the afternoon, In
the custody OF the officers; at East
Bfidge ton station they were met by a
hack and were conveyed to the County
