Hamilton county. The republicans here
tonight are Offering bets even on elect
ing their candidates for the legislature

To Be Hanged Friday

Sheriff NJ. J. Ward, Of Columbus coun-
ty, arrived in the city yesterday On his
way to Raleigh with three convictsEfor
the penitentiary. Two of them were Geo.
Workman and Hayes Alexander, both COL
ored, convicted in the superior court at
Whiteville last week and each sentenced
to seven years in the penitentiary for
breaking into and robbing the railroad
warehouse and express office at Chad
bourn. Alexander stated to The Messen-
ger representative that he committed
the crime and that Workman had moth
ing to do with the robbery. He says he
v Workman the razor that was stolen
and which was found in Wortham's pos
session and led to his implication in the
robbery. He states that he testified to
that fact at the trial, but the jury con-
victed Workman anyhow.
The other convict was Jim Haynes,
who pleaded guilty to murder in the Sec
ond degree for killing young Lee at
Whiteville, and had been brought back
from the penitentiary to testify in an
other case involving the murder. It will
be remembered that at the first trial
he was convicted and sentenced to be
hanged, but at the second trial he turned
evidence and was allowed to put
in a plea Of murder in the second de-
gree. He Is serving a term for thirty
years. His nephew, Lon Haynes, who
was convicted Of the murder of Lee and
sentenced to be hanged, but was res |
p1ted TO enable him to testify in the other |
cast last week, was re-sentenced by |
Judge McIver to be hanged next Friday. |
