CLEVELAND-Shelb Aurora, No.
vember 1: The case Of Jim Fewell col.
ored, arraigned for the murder Of an.
other colored man at Kings Mountain
was submitted, the defendant enter.
ing the plea Of guilty Of murder in the
second degree. His punishment was
fixed at Imprisonment in the peniten.
tiary for 81 years. He was ably rep.
resented by attorneys Hoey, Dillinger
of Cherryville, and Russell, of Kings
Mountain. Bud Bridges, colored, was
also arraigned for murder Of another
Negro in No. Q township. The evi.
dence would not have warranted q
verdict Of guilty Of murder, and owing
to his long Imprisonment In jail and
other mitigating circumstances, Solic-
itor Webb recommended that he be
sentenced to imprisonment in the coun-
ty Jail for a period Of IL months, and
he was accordingly sentenced for this
length Of time. The marriage OF

tie, son Of our townsman, c. B. Suttle,
has been called to the pastorate OF
Benson Baptist church. He is a young
minister Of much zeal and. earnestness
and has been most acceptably serving
the church at Smithf1eld, N. c.. Men
ton was made last week that Rev.
Jno. E.. White, state secretary to the
board Of missions, had been called to
the pastorate Of one Of the leading
Baptist churches in Atlanta. We now
learn that he has accepted and will be-
gin his labors in his new field on jan
uary 1, 1901. He is one Of the states
foremost ministers and his departure
will be regretted. Toney, who was
tried for the murder Of one Lane, was
declared not guilty by the jury on
Friday last. Our readers will remem-
Der that this Killing, which occurred at
Double Shoals, something over a year
ago, was apparently one Of the clearest
cases Of self-defense that has ever oc-
Cured within the history Of the coun-
ty. Immediately after the homicide the
slayer surrendered himself to- Sheriff
Suttle, and a preliminary hearing was
had before Magistrat ]. F. Tiddy. AT
this hearing it was shown that the de-
fendant was attacked by Lane. after
he had done all he could to avoid the
difficulty. That Lane beat him terribly
with a pair of knucks, and after the
defendant managed to get away, that
he fed pursued by Lane, who swore
he would kill him, knocking him down
and began beating him again, when de-
fendant drew his knife and while down
on his knees, made one back hand lick
at his assailant and inflicted mortal
wound. Lane walked few steps, stag
gered, fell and in a few moments was
dead. Upon this evidence the magis-
trate discharged him. The case was
presented to the grand jury, true bill
found and the cause was heard Thurs
day and Friday. The defendant was
ably defended by E. Y. Webb and F.
I. Osborne, while Solicitor Webb was
assisted by B. A. Justice, Esq, Of Ruth
erfordton. The jury brought In q YER
dict Of not guilty, a verdict entirely In
harmony with the evidence.
