BONNER MURDER TRIAL.
Developments in the Trial Of the
Men Accused of Numbering
7. B. Bonner.
Jury Selected
Able Counsel on Both Sides.
100 Witnesses in the Case.

On December p, 1895, John
B. Bonner, one of the best and
most useful citizens of Beaufort
county, was foully murdered at
his home in Aurora, N. G.
Suspicion rested upon two
young white men named David
Cradle and VIII. Brantley. They
were arrested and Cradle con-
fessed the crime, but implicated
no others at first. Later he made
a sweeping confession and i'm
plicated two other young men
with Brantley as accomplices i'll
the crime, namely: Uriah Bell
and Sherrell Bell. These were
also arrested and all were lodged
in the county Jail at Washington.
The Bell boys and Brantley were
placed in the same cell together,
but Cradle was placed in a cell
in another part Of the Jail, from
which there could be no possible
communication with the others.
A special court was set for
their trial last week, and Judge
r. F. Hoke was appointed to
hold the court. When the case
was called at the opening of the
court the counsel for the defense
put i'll plea of abatement. This
was overruled by the court. A
special venire of $50 names was
drawn from the jury box and the
case was then set for Monday,
January 18TH, to give time for
getting all the jurors i'll court.
Monday morning when court
was opened all the jurors were
present. The work of selecting
the jury commenced and it was
8 o'clock at night when the jury
was completed. There are two
seperate bills of indictment-one
against Cradle alone and the
other against the Bell boys and
Brautley.
The following compose the
jury, as selected: James 7. Boyd,
John L. Peele, Joseph Robinson,
A. P. Lewis, Z. S. Norheet, F.
II. Waters, Richard II. Waters,
George II. Elliott, B +. Bradley,
J. 7. Kicks, Lewis Alligood and
u. B. Woolard.
The State's counsel are able

Defendant Bradley has E. S,
Simmons and Defendant Cradle

strong aud influential men.
There are 80 witnesses in the
case, the number being about
equally divided between the State
and the defense.
The trial will consume the
entire week, a report Of which
will appear in the next issue O

Insurance Cases.
THE WIFE'S CONFESSION.
Sam Williams and Wife, of Beau
fort, Charged With The Muir
der of Their Newly
Born Child.

The town Of Beaufort, n. c.,
is stirred with excitement by the
finding by two boys of a dead in
fant in the river. Suspicion
pointed to Sam Williams, one of
the defendants in the recent in
surance trials.
Williams, who was Il widOwer
until few days since. brought
home his blush;ng bride on
Tuesday the 9TH inst, and but a
dav or two afterward, Bessie, his
oldest child by his first wife
whom the insurance companies
accused him Of getting rid of in
order to secure the insurance
money on her life, reported that
a baby had made its appearance
in the happy home Of the newly
welded couple. Friends who
hastcned 10 congratulate the for
tunatc pair were met with pos>
tive denial of the birth of the
child, notwithstanding the fact
that Williams had informed
Mrs. Russell, the midwife to
whom he had gone, that his wife
was SICK.
When the baby was found sus-
picion at once pointed to the
Williams home, and parties who
went thither to investigate found
Bessie with a bruised face, which
she said her father had given
her for telling that there was a
baby about the house. She also
stated that she had been violent
" beaten by him for telling 1t.
A coroner's jury has been Sit
ting upon the case and brought
in a verdict that the infant was
born at the Williams house, of
the body Of Annie, Williams
wife; that the post 1norten held
BY Drs. Cook and Davis revealed
the fact that it was alive when
born and that it came to its
death either by violence or neg
| lect at the hands Of the aforesaid
Sam Williams or his wife, and
recommended that both be COM
mitted to Jail to await the action
Of the grand jury at the next
term Of Carteret county court.
Whcrcupon the coroner order
ed Williams to Jail and put a
guard over the fair young bride
of two days until she could get
we'll enough to be moved to the
prison, and 50 the young couple
will spend their honeymoon to-
gether in a dungeon with the
awful cloul of approaching fate
casting its shadow across their
| lives.
