Arrested for Murder.

Robert Hayes, young white man
charged with the murder Of Mr..
Joseph Dement,, near Union Chapel,
in this county, in August, 1892, was
arrested in Nashville, n. c., and COM
mitted to Jail here by Sheriff Smith
last Thursday.
The particulars of the case will be
remembered by many readers of the
GOLD LEAF. Hayes, who was at that
time about II years of age, had a
difficulty with Dement, about some
watermelons which it appears they
were cultivating on shares. Hayes
struck Dement, on the head with a
rock from the effects of which he died
shortly afterwards.
Hayes ran away and had eluded the
officers of the law until last week.
The defendant had hearing before
Justice Duke at the court house Mon
day morning and plead not guilty.
At the preliminary trial the testimony
of several witnesses was taken, but
owing to the absence of important
witnesses the ease was continued
until next Saturday.
Dement, was about As years of age
and left family.
