IN THE COURTS.


 trial in the criminal court yesterday was passed on account of the dying declara- ton of J. O. Dormap, the man whom Parvin is charged with having mur- dered. $ ta s5l11 The case was called and both sides were ready for trial, until it was discov- cred that the justice of the peace who | took Dormans dying statement had | brought copy instead of the original statement. As the copy could not be | offered as evidence when the original | was known to be in existence, the state | moved continuance which was granted. Parvn is charged with murder. He | and two brothers had a row with J. O.. | Dorman, near Smiths mills, early in the | present year and the latter was shot. Dorman died shortly after being shot, but lived long enough to tell the story of the shooting. Parvin admits shooting Dorman, but says it was done in self defense. His brothers, Tite and Bill were also arrested for the same offense.
