The home of Mr.. and Mrs. D. w. Peters,

was the scene of a pretty wedding Wed
nesday evening, June Gath, when their

The general statements of the witnesses
as to the meeting of the two bodies of
men in the roadway agreed, as did their
statemets as to who threw the rocks.
Some of them saw Hogan fall.
Miss Addie S%ansbury, daughter of
William S%ansbury, who works at Gies-

was walking along the road with Joseph
Sansbury just before the attack began.
She ran to her home nearby when the
tumult assumed dangerous proportions.
The prisoners was brought forward
and examined. They admitted having
taken part il the f~racas, but only as a
matter of self defense, they said, and
denied throwing any missils. 1t was
their claim that they had been accosted
by the negroes while passing along the
roadway with Miss S%ansbury.
1t required but a few minutes on the
part OF the jury to bring in a verdict
holding the three men named. They
were later placed in a wagon, and &C.
complished by Constable Webster, and
others, were removed to Jail here. Rob
