No solution Reached.

The coroncr's jury. which has been in
vestigaung the murder Of Henry Nickers
for the last ten days. had a session yes
1erday evening and it was expected that
a verdict would he reached and rendered
at that time. Several of the leading col
ored men Of the Mineola district were be-
fore the jury and asked that the decision
be held until next Saturday, as they wish
ed 10 see il they could not get evidence
10 make the case c.earer. The men talked
with a good deal of feeling about the af-
fair and said they were honestly desiring
10 get evidence that viii convict the muir
derers. They share the suspicious of the
white people and believe that the crime
was committed by Jim Godding ana
Wash Powell, the two negroes in jail. bu,
they want the evidence against them to
be stronger if it can be made so.
The readers of the Morning News will
remember that these two negroes were the
ones arrested Immediately after the crime
was committed, and that the evidence
against them was entirely circumstantial,
though only a link was needed to make
il direct. The clothes worn by these two
negroes on the night of the murder have
never been found. and they have never
explained where they were when the kill
ing occurred, though they confess having
had dealings with Nickers just a few
moments before the shots were heard. 1t
IS believed that their failure to explain
these things gives the missing link in
the evidence against them. Ii is pretty
certain now that the coroners jury will
lay the killing to them unless they make
much better showing than they have
made thus far. Both of the negroes are
badly frightened, and are afraid of being
lynched.
