History of NoIes' crIme.

Lying on the floor of the family room, with her face splashed with clotted life blood and the oaken blanks stained with the same drops, Charles Williams found his devoted young wife Friday afternoon when he returned from marketing his wheat in the little town of Maxwell. A heavy bullet had crushed through her head, life was completely extinct and her two babies were crying aloud from their grief and fear at what had trans- pired before the arrival of the father
 The oldest boy, aged 5. told what had occurred. The young mother had been shot and killed by Henry Noles, a negro hand upon Williams place. As the mor- tally wounded woman sank to the floor, Noles shot at the boy, the bullet grazing the child's head. The negro fled to the woods. Williams neighbors were stirred to the stage of exacting reckless, merci- less and summary justice. On receipt of news of the crime. Sheriff Stewart de- parted for the scene with bloodhounds A posse of determined citizens we'll armed and provided with a ropo was also on Noleg trail. It was reported that the
