The jury that convicted Silas Davis
was out from Friday night until Mon
day morning before they could agree
that he ought to be hung, part of
the jury wanting to send him to the
penitentiary for life. 1t is no time in
Lincoln county for chicken hearted "
juries.
Instead Of sending Robt. Gozy, the
negro who raped his 12-year-old step
daughter, to the penitentiary for life,
the jury would have done the right
thing to have returned verdict of
guilty as charged" and let him stretch
hemp. 1t is this sort Of miscarriage of
justice that encourages mob law.
The grand jury is making a good
record for itself.
The case Of the State vs.. Jim King,
indicted for the murder of Joseph Buf-
kin, was called Tuesday morning, and
the trial was still in progress when this
report closed Wednesday evening The
trial Of Prentiss Easterling on the
same charge, has been set for Thurs
day. The trials of Aaron Lotion and
j. p. Fore have been set for next Mon
day and Tuesday, respectively, and q
special venire drawn in each case.
