CONVICT BOSS BOUND
OVER FOR MURDER

Scott Word col. ,who.is q sergeant or
driver for Capt. w. y. Randolph on
his convict farm, was, on information
furnished by one Geo Allen, colored,
brought before Justice Henry 0'Ban-
non charged with murder. Word was
bound in the sum Of $500 to await the
action Of the grand jury.
The man Ward is charged with kill
ing was one Henry Moore, q negro
convict, who died soon after strapping
administered to him by Word. From
the evidence 1t was shown that Word
was with a squad Of hoe hands among
whom was Moore. Moore asked to be
allowed to go the shade which request
was granted, but few minutes later
Moore went to where he was and
trapped him. After the lashing the
negroes were formed into squad and
marched to a cabin, about half a mile
away, for dinner. When they arrived
at the'cabin the negro Moore lay down
underneath it, but was soon found and
taken out in dying condition. Water
was put on him and the overseer, Mr..
Wardell, sent for. When he came and
saw the negro's condition, he went to
the house to get some ice, but before
he returned the man WAS dead.
No bruises were found on his body,
but he was eaten up by disease. Wit
nesses for the defense said that Word
did not strike Moore, and Capt. Ram
dolph stated to the court that Word
was not allowed to whip conyicts unless
the overseer was present and then not
over five licks should be struck. He
said he was there soon after the negro
died, and that death was probably due
to heat and the terrible disease from
which he suffered. Mr.. Wardell, the
overseer, testified to about the same
thing as did Capt. Randolph, only he
said that Word had whipped c0nvicts
when he was not present, but never
more than five or six licks. @
After hearing all the evidence Judge
O'Bannon held Word under bond Of
$500 to await the action OF the grand
jury. The bond Was given and Word
released. Tho defendant was repre-
sented by j. r. Harris.
