ed to the doctor, he expressed the
belief that it was highly improb.
able that the wound could have
been self inflicted with such q

MORRISON SHOT
GUY MORRISON KILLED LAST
MONDAY.
Isaac baltd is Accused
Of the Shooting. Coroner's Inquest.
First Event Of the Kind
Since '9S.

Monday afternoon between two
and three o'clock, cry for help is.
rued from the door OF the house
occupied by Isaac Banta and Guy
Morrison, on the corner Of Third
street and Glacier avenue.
The first to respond was Mrs.
Alvah Eames, who lives i'm the
house opposite. On reaching the
cabin, she was told by Mr.. Banta,
who was quietly leaning against
the door, that Guy Morrison had
committed suicide. This news
somewhat unnerved the lady, but
she retained presence of mind
sufficient to call to some men who
were about a block away. They
hurried to the cabin. while she
went to her home for some hot wat
er.
The men who responded to the
call of Mrs. Eames were Capt. 10.
hanson, Oscar Fish and Ernie
Wheat. Mr.. Fish went for a doc
tor while the captain and Mr..
Wheat, with Walter White, who
just then appeared on the scene,
entered the cabin and found the
pposed suicide lying on the
floor, back of the door,,
They picked him up and placed
him on the he'd and then awaited a
physician. DIR. Boyle soon arrived
and did everything in his power
to restore the man to consciousness
but without avail, and within an
hour after the arrival of help
Morrison dled.
Shortly before the death, Com
missioner Lyons was called to the
scene and placed the deputy mar
shal in charge. The latter picked
up large 32-caliber frontier revol-
yer from the floor, almost directly
under the stove. The revolver was
recognized as one that Mr.. Banta
had been trying to sell sometime
ago. When picked up it was
found to be cooked.
The doctor in examining the
wound found that the ball entered
the back of the head, directly be-
hind the right ear and passed
through the head, coming out to
the right Of the right eye. having
passed through the skull and the
right side Of the brain.
A coroner's jury was impaneletl
Immediately after the death Of Mr..
Morrison, and Tuesday morning
the inquest was held in Commits
sioner Lyons Office. The jury vis-
tied the scene Of the shooting,
ex amined the body and surround
ings and made search for the bull
let, but no trace OF it could be
found. They then returned to the
commissioners office and proceeded
with the examination of witnesses.
Commissioner Lyons was in the
chair, Judge Harlan conducted the
examination for the government,
and Judge Goodell was present to
look after the interests Of Mr..
Banta, who had been arrested and
placed in Jail pending the exami-
nation.
On Tuesday . number Of wit
nesses we're examined, but gave no
testimony that would throw any
light on tho affair, with the excep-
tion probably Of DR.. Boyle, who
arrived after the body had been
taken from the floor and placed
upon the besi. He thoroughly ex.

after death, aud gsve il ~ bis pre-.

TWO CONFEDERATE MONUMENTS

On Saturday at Fayetteville, and on
yesterday at Wilson beautiful monu-
ment, erected by the good women and
generous men of those towns, to tic
memory of the Confederate soldiers who
died for their country, were unveiled
with appropriate ceremonies.
This is The monument building era in
North Carolina. Thirty years ago there
were not ,hree monuments, erected by the
State or the public, in North Carolina.
Before the war that cooperative spirit
and effort, necessary to build monuments,
was unknown. After the war, the peo-
lie were too sorely pressed with the
problem of making a living to build
monuments. With better understand
ing Of securing cooperation in planning
and in giving, the people of nearly every
section of the State have erected monu-
ments to the Confederate and the Revc-
utionary dead. to great men, and before
many years will erect monument to the
Women of the Confederacy in the capital
at Raleigh

A MUCH MALIGNsD WOMAN,
The Legal Investigation lFxonorates Mrs
Lawson.
(GOldsbOrO Argus.l

(GOldSbOro Argus.)
TO the or:-There have been two
or three publications in the papers in
regard to the killing Of Mr.. Pete Lawson
in Duplin county a short time ago, in
which it has been suggested OF charged
that Mrs. Lawson, widow of the deceased
was implicated in the killing, and for
this reason and in Justice to Mrs Law
son I wish to make public the result
of the investigation by thu State.
The coroner's jury charged Herring
Carter with the crime and he was COM
mittcd to jail.
From time to time reports were cir
culated in and out of papers that Carter
lad made confession in which he ad-
mitted that he killed Lawson, and that
he had been induced TO do so by Mrs.
Lawson, but these reports were with
out foundation and were false.
Duplin court began on May 5, ana MIS-.
Lawson vluntarily went to court and re-
manned until its adjournment prepared
to meet any charge that might be made
against her.
The solicitor, Hon. Rodolph Duffy, WAS
assisted in the prosecution by Mcssrs.
H. L. Williams, of KenansVllle: II. +.
Shaw, of Kinston, and j. 0. Carr, or Will
mington. These gentlemen sent to the
grand jury a bill of indictment charging
Carter with ting murder OF Lawson, and
the bill was returned not acted upon
for want or absence of witnesses, I am
rot sure which.
81 Carter. through his counsel Mcssrs.
Stevens. Bcaslay and Weeks, then sued
out writ of habeas Corpus AID applied
for his discharge before Judge Tilnter-
lake. Upon the hearing the Judge not
only heard all tho evidence chat could
be produced but stated to the counsel
for the state that he would accept their
statement of the evidence of any WIT
ness who was absent.
At the conclusion of the hearing Car
ter was promptly discharged [; because
there was evidence against him:
Mr.. H. f. Shaw. Of counsel for The
State, then stated in open court that
he and the other counsel in the coursa
of their investigation had investigated
eyerv rumor against Mrs. Lawson. and
that She was fully vindicatcd ana there
was no reason to even suspect that she
was connected with the killing OF her
husband. I may add for myself that the
natural evidence IN the case eSIdpI!SHeu
her innocence beyond question. l make
this statement because Mrs Lawson has
suffered much pain and humiliation on
account of the reports circulated about
Der. and while the injury to her cannot
be repaired, it may be in some lcgree
lcsscnei.
She comes from a good family her
father. John Gordon Smith, being one Of
the best and most respected citizens Of
Duplin county.
Very truly,
w. r. ALLEN.
