GROVES NOW A FREE MAN.
Acquitted of the Charge Of Numbering
Henry Wall.

lac second trial of John Groves for
his life is ended. At 1890 o'clock yes
terday morning the jury, after having
been out all night, filed into the court
room and rendered its verdict.
Five minutes later John Groves, the
white man who, on the night of January
Both, in a quarrel at Forestvihe, shot
and killed desperate negro, Henry Wall,
walked from the court room free.
He had listened to the verdict in s.
lence, and but the throbbing temple, the
quick heavy beating Of his heart that
seemed to shake his whole frame, and the
beaming face, now for the first time
turned frank and full upon the jury, told
of the mans great JOY. At the verdict
there was considerable applause among
the crowd in the court room, but il was
quickly suppressed.
The judge intimated to the jury hat he
thought they had made a mistake, and
there were some little murmuYing of
dissatisfaction among the negroes. But
for the most part there was little sur
prise or discussion Of the verdict. Every
body had read in the News and Obser-
yer three hours before that eight of the
twelve men were strong for absolute ac-
quittal and that would probably be the
verdict.
Groves is a man of about 80, unmar-
ried. he is strong, athletic feeling,
rather good-looking. He is a native Of
Duplin county, but has spent much Of
his time in South Carolina and Virginia
in railroad work. AT the time of the
killing of Henry Wall he was working
on the Seaboard Air Line as a section
hand. He has been in Jail here since
February LIST, 1897, and has twice been
tried for his life. On the first trial in
March last, before Judge Robinson, he
was convicted OF granddaughter and SEN
fenced to the penitentiary for ten years.
An appeal from this was taken and in
December the appeal was heard by the
Supreme court and a new trial WAS
granted.
In this trial just finished I understand
these facts-the years imprisonment the
terrible ordeal of two trials for his life
and the great expense incident thereto
had considerable weight with the iurv,
as did also the very desperate character
of the man Groves killed and the bad
reputation of the witnesses against him.
The opinion seemed to prevail among
the jury that the man had been punished
enough, unless it could be proved more
certainly that he did not kill Wall In.

BooKER's TRIAL POSTPONED.
Wake Superior Court Yesterday About
Completed Its Business.

The trial of James Booker for the
murder of his sweetheart, Mehaley
White, was scheduled for yesterday, but
it failed to come off.
An effort has been made all the week
by Bookers counsel to have the trial
postponed. but Judge Timberlake very
properly declined to allow it. 1t was
set for yesterday morning and special
venire of so men summoned.
When court met a motion was made
to postpone the trial until the afternoon.
This was done. When the afternoon

Booker's attorney, Mr.. J. G.. L. Harris,
was sick and could not go into the trial.
1t was thereupon set for Thursday of
the first week of the March term of
court here.
BoOker'S crime was very BRUTAL cold
blooded deed. 1t was committed more
than year ago. The county has been
at great expense to get him here and to
prepare for the trial this week. These
things caused many people yesterday to
express the opinion that Judge Timber
lake ought to have appointed counsel
when il was found that Mr.. Harris
couldn't be present and have gone into
the trial to-day.
The pass cases against Col. Andrews
and others were also continued until the
March term.
Tom Hunt. the noted chicken thief,
was sent to the roads for four months.

ed.

500 given to him by L. S. Rochelle TO

ed with false pretence, defendant entered
a nolo contendere. Judgment was suS-
pended on payment of the cost.
Huell Turner was sent to the roads one
year for perjury in a case in which he
was accused of beating a woman, Emma
Pratt.
Arthur Davis plead guilty of larceny
and was sent to the roads for four
months.
The sentence of Elnora Burton, the
negro girl who forged the name of a LADY
to an order, was changed from one year
to three months on the reads

out, otherwise he be sent to the roads
Emma Cope was given until to-day to
pay the costs of the SANDER case against
her by Mary Summeryille. If she does
not pay it this morning she will be sent
to the roads.
About all the business of the court
was completed yesterday. Though
session viii he held this morning there
is nothing of public Importance to do.
The calendar for the February (civiD
term was set yesterday morning.

CAPITAL SQUARE FENCE
1T WILL Be PUT AROUND THE OLD CITY
CEMETERY.
The City viii at Once Begin Taking it Down.
The Contract in Regard to it Was
Signed Yesterday.

Within the next week or two the
work of tearing down the iron fence
around the Capitol Square will begin.
The readers of this paper were infrom-
ed some two weeks ago that terms had
been agreed upon between the city and
the State, whereby the city was to take
down the fence and put it around the
old city cemetery, paying the State for
it in street improvements around the
square. But it was not until yesterday
that the agreement was signed by the
interested parties.
Now it is all done and the city au-
thorities are at liberty any day to be-
gin removing the fence.
The memorandum of agreement be-
tween the city and State authorities in
this matter sets forth the terms of the
contract as follows:
Il. The Board OF Public Buildings
and Grounds hereby agree to give to the
city of Raleigh, all the iron fence, gates,
&c, the foundation to said fence and
all the stone curbing around the Capitol
Square
-. In consideration therefor, the said
city of Raleigh agrees and hereby binds
itself to grade aud curb the sidewalks
around the square, to do all necessary
terracing and turfng in and around the
square, make all necessary entrances
thereto, and to provide the necessary
stone steps therefor, and to do all other
work necessary to make such changes
fitting and complete"
1t will be seen that these are most fa-
vorable terms for the city. Nothing
better could be asked. 1t was through
the efforts and diplomacy of Mayor
Russ that they were secured.
Readers OF the News and Observer
will recall that this paper, some three
months ago, inaugurated the move
ment for taking down this fence. 1t
pointed out the advantages to be gained
in point of beauty and convenience, and
showed that. such change would add
beauty, not only to the square itself,
but to that part of the city and show off
the capitol and other public buildings
to their advantage.
Immediately the suggestion was made
the city and State officials, and almost
every citizen of Raleigh, endorsed it. The
only question was what to do with the
fence. 1t cost about $1,000 and the
Governor didn't want to throw it away.
1t was at this point that Mayor Russ
took the matter in hand and succeeded
in solving the problem, and yesterday
the papers were signed conveying the
fence to the city, and the city obliSating
to do, in exchange therefor, certain
things in the way of Improvements on
and around the square.
The people of the State will endorse
Governor Russell and his council in
This matter and the people OF Raleigh
will applaud Mayor Russ for his efforts
in their behalf.
Now let the Street Committee begin
the work.

PAYING OUT SCHOOL MONEY.
Supt. Mebane Makes Some Wise Sug-
gestions About 1t.

The State Superintendent Of Public
Instruction yesterday sent to all the su-
pervisors and members of county boards
of education in the State the following
circular letter, which explains itself:
Dear Sir: l write you in regard to
orders given during the school year 1896
and 1897 for public funds when there
were no funds due the districts.
''The committees had no authority to
sign orders for money when there was
none due the school for which they
gave the order for school supplies, and
the person or persons accepting these
orders did so at his own risk.
The banks that bought such paper
or orders did so upon their own respon-
sibility. l feel sorry for the banks, but
| feel more sorry for the children whose
money is squandered.
Some counties in the State have been
eanVassed by agents who knew there
was no money due the schools, and the
committees knew they had no money
to pay the extravagant orders they were
giving.
1T is burning shame to see the hum
dreds of dollars of orders given for
money when there was none, expecting
to gobble up the money of the children
for the fiscal year.
do not spend one cent of the school
money due from July 1, 1897, to June
30, 1893, to pay orders made by your
predecessors in office.
IF there was money due the districts
for which the goods were bought at the
time they were bought, and for the
school year in which they were bought,
then of course such orders must be
paid, otherwise do not pay them"
