Abe Ross, the negro boy from Ran,
charged with the murder Of Elijah
Miers near that place, was brought
in last night BY Deputy Coving-
ton, and his case was heard today
before Commissioner Gibbons. But
little could be learned from the tes-

evidence stating that the dying boy
declared that Ross shot him without
provocation, while Ross story says
that the gun was accidentally dis
charged. There was no proof OF any
animosity existing between the lads,
further than that about two months
