planned murder of Abram l.. King. a
respectable colored man. at his home.
ON the Macon farm, rear Oceana, last
Friday night.
DISCOVERED AT MIDNIGHT.
The murder was not discovered until
midnight. when Kings wife and a COL
ored man who has been lodging with
them. came back from n lengthy even
ing out. This colored lodger is credited
with having attained to too great a
degree of intimacy with Kings wife, and
IL is thought the crimo was committed
to get him out of the way of the couple,
who were in constant apprehension of
being found out by him. The actual
deed. however. is not credited to either
the wife sr her paramount. but To the
1S-year-old son of the latter, who Is
supposed. so the theory goes. to have
entered the house du ring the couples
absence and shot down the husband
from behind.
REPORTED BY THE LODGER.
The finding of Kings dead body was
reported to the authorities by the lodger
and investigation promptly followed.
The body was found lying on the floor
with u bullet hole in his body. in the
region or the heart. and n gun lying on
the MOOR. Suspicion fell upon the wife
ana LOGGER because of their rcputea in
timacy, and they were locked up. Later
- i''SSi NaS dpilISllGnucu
and charged directly with the murder.
THE CORONER'S INQUEST.
a roner inquest was held Sunday
afternoon and a verdict To the effect
that King came to his death by a gun
ilred by the hands of a person unknown.
BODY was buried yesterday and the
children of the dead man will be cared
FOR by he neighbors for the present.
RuMORED CONFESSION.
1t Is rumored that Kings wife has
made Il partial confession to the effect
that The murder was done by the box
II that he was hired by the guilty
couple to DO the decd. It is said thai
me boy was seen in the n~eighborhood
OF the crime 1T about 10 o'clock FRIDAY
night.

plant at The beach and the ledge was

A FOUL SHAME.
The City Jail is Rotten and Infested
With Vermiu.

If the taxpayers of this city, even
those who growl the loudest about the
high rate Of taxation, could see the
sight that those in the Police Court saw
yesterday morning, they would rise to
nan-to say nothing of the women
and demand that provision be made in
the next tax levy for building a new City
Hall and Jail
A few days ago young man named
Winn was arrested and confined in the
city prison. Yesterday he was brought
up for examination and his attorney
called attention to his condition. He
was well-dressed and evidently person
of cleanly habits, but his hat and clothes
were absolutely alive with body verrnin,
which could be seen crawling over them
His counsel asked that he be confined
in another and more cleanly cell, but the
City Attorney and Judge stated that it
was doubtful If any better cell could be
found. The woodwork of the cells is
rotten and is literally alive with vermin,
and every means has been tried to erad-
icate them. Steam from the Water
| Works is frequently used, being thrown
| by hose into all the cracks in the walls
and floors, and various other means en-
| ployed to exterminate them, but moth
| ing seems to attain the end sought.
| 1t is worse than cruel to incarcerate
people in such hole, and for the fair
| fame of the city her citizens should see
| that better place is provided.
