SENTENCE 70 YEARS.
ManseI Robertson for Killing
Louis Debnam.
AIpho.z, Trio. Given Five Years. No True
Bill Against Fowler and Davis. Report
of Grand Jury.

The second murder case in Superior
Court resulted in much the same way as
the first one.
Mansel Robertson, the negro who kill
ed Loomis Debnam on September 9Th,
near Eagle Rock, was given twenty
years in the penitentiary.
He entered a plea yesterday morning
of guilty of murder in the second degree,
or felonious sloying. Judge Timberlake
wished to hear some evidence in the case
before imposing sentence, and old Handy
Robertson. father of Mansel, testified.
He said Mansel came home drunk and
ha ola few words with his brother, Sam.
They started to fight when Handy saw
that Mansel hada pistol and he seized
it. The pistol came into and fell to the
floor While Handy was holding his son
Sam struck Mansel with a single tree.
A struggle ensued and Handy did not
know that Loomis Davis, who had come
UP to help Mansel, was cut until after
wards
Justice E. T. Scarborough and F. M.
Terrell testified to the condition of Davis
body when they arrived. He was stabbed
where.
Both thesewitnesses gave Robertson n
bad reputation. He was a terror in the
community and had been in fights be-
fore.
After hearing the evidence, Judge
Timberlake pronounced the sentence of
twenty years in the penitentiary.
Alphonzo Trice, the eighteen-year old
negro who was found guilty of wronging
a colored girl under fourteen years of
age, was sentenced to five years in the
penitentiary. Trice's counsel gave notice
of appeal.
The grand ury returned not true bill
in the case of Guy Fowler and Lonnie
Davis, the two negroes who have been
in Jail charged with criminal assault upon
q negro woman.
Lonne Davis, however, was indicted
for assault with intent to kill upon Jake
Bennett, and got twelve months on the
roads.
Robert Debnam was sentenced to one
year for stealing.
Sam Bright, charged with stealing some
-four. was acquitted.

The Scientific Explanation Of
the Change Formerly At

In folk lore stories there Is frequent
mention OF changelings - children who
were changed by fairy influence. Some
loving wife and proud husband found
their child weak Of body, and some.
times weak of mind. It grew up to
be fretful. sullen and perhaps spiteful.
1t seemed impossible that love- could
bring such a child into the world.
So the child was called fairy change
ling, a child substituted by the fairies
for one whom In their envy for its loyli-
ness they had carried away.
