A BASE CONSPIRACY
A Mere Child the Victim. The
Testimony is Un-

Especial to News and observer.)

Goldsboro, N. c., June 16.-Today at
noon III the court house Justice of the
Peace Hugh Humphrey J. E. Peterson
and j. H. Hill rendered a decision in a
case which has attracted much attention
for the past two days.
BY the decision OF the Justices one
man, Marshall Snipes, was sentenced to
the county roads for thirty days, another
man, James Davis, was fined So and half
of the costs Of the case, and Mrs. Benton,
wife of Alex. Benton, was sentenced to
thirty days in the county jail. Snipes
and Davis took an appeal and gave bond
for their appearance at the September
term of the Superior court and the wo-
man went to Jail.
Snipes and Davis and the Benton wo-
man were arrested on Saturday, charged
with a serious offence against a young
white girl, only 13 years Of age. They all
gave bond for their appearance yesterday
before Justice Hugh Humphrey, who, on
account of the Importance of the case,
asked Justices Peterson and Hill to sit
with him. The case was called at IL 80
o'clock yesterday and occupied the greater
part of the day. When the attorneys
finished their argument yesterday after
noon the Justices announced that they
would render their decision today at noon

While on the way to the river they were
joined by Snipes and Davis by previous
arrangement. What took place on tine
river bank is not fit for publication. The
Justices evidently did not believe the de
fendants guilty OF the serious charge in
the Indictment, but they manifestly be
ieved that the community had been out
ragged by indecent and improper conduct
and inflicted a penalty which seems to
have met with general approval.

King Peter, the church bells rang merrily,
and simultaneously along the main street
marched a funeral procession. Accom-

The commandant of division encamped
in the environs Of Belgrade was surprised
in the palace by the conspirators on the
night of the assassinations and managed
to escape. He found mounted orderly,
took his horse, and galloped to the camp
of his division to summons the regiments
to the assistance of the King. Just be-
fore reaching the camp, the lieutenant,

which ensued the commandant was killed
and the lieutenant was mortally wounded.

at the palace removing all signs of the
tragedy and repairing the damages caused
by flying bullets, preparatory to the IN
stallation of the new ruler.
it appears very unlikely that an official
account of the crime will be published.
The absence of all expression of regret
among the educated classes is most strik-
ing and leads to the conclusion that either
the assassinations were extremely popular
or the Servians are the most impassiye
people in the world. AS matter of fact
the whole country is governed by a few
men, and in many cases the peasantry are
ignorant of the cause of the change.
