MELVILLE PARKER'S TRIAL.
a Mob Came Very Near Lynching HIM
and Tie Appears Guiltless.

DURHAM. y. G.. September s.-spe-
cial.-The trial OF the negro Melville
Parker for alleged assault is on. After
exhausting the regular jury Judge Brown
ordered a special ycnire OF seventy-nve
men. out of which z jury was obtained
yesterday.
The llt,le eight-year-old white victim
was first put on the stand by the prose-
cution. Her testimony was indefinite and
mixed

lion by Paul Graham. OF counsel for de-
fence she got very mad. and 1t was with
difficulty the Judge could make her stop
talking
To one Of Mr.. Graham's pointed ques-
lions which she did not want 10 answer,
she replied by advising him to 'go and
study law again
DR. y. NJ. Johnson. who examined the
girl the evening OF the occurrence. was
next examined. His evidence did the
prisoner no harm.
The court then adjourned till 10 o'clock
this morning.
IL was talked by county authorities lhat
the father of the girl. who Is not Of the
hest repute. had fabricated the entire
story In order to sue the county for heavy
damages because Of the fact that Parker
was a county convict on the road force
ana should have been under guard instead
Of going loose as a trusty. IL has had the
eject OF making the County Board abolish
