COURT GRANTS AN ORDER
Restraining Defendant From Sending
a Bond Out of jurisdiction of
court-AII Facts in the
Case.

A suit containing rather unusual
features was filed in the Glynp super
ior court yesterday.
Readers of The News will recall the
attachment proceeding that was
brought some time since by M. G
Middleton against the Ferguson Con,
structing Co. This action was based
upon an alleged indebtedness of over
$4,000, which Middleton claimed was
due him for work done on the Bruins.
wick and Birmingham railroad as a
sub-contractor Of the Ferguson Com
pany.
In the suit filed yesterday The b. &
b. railroad is complainant and the
Ferguson Constructing Company is
defendant The petition alleges that
Francis NJ Ferguson, president of the
Ferguson Company, came to Bruins
wick some time ago to arrange the
collecting of the money due his com
pany for constructing a part Of the
ID. & b. The railroad company requir
ed Ferguson to give a bond dissolV
ing the punishment, which had been
served on the railroad company in the
Middleton case; that Ferguson there

by the United States Fidelity and
Guarantee Company and let it with
its counsel, with the understanding
that when he reached New York and
arranged witch the officers of the rail
road there and the Knickerbockel
Trust ompany for the transfer of his
claim and the adjustment Of the debt
due sub-contractors and others, he
would instruct his counsel to file the
bond.
The petition further charges that
in pursuance of this arrangement Fer.
guson went to New York and secured
his money by inducing the parties
there to believe that the bond was all
arranged and that he had never IN
structed fhe attorneys TO file the
bond, and after getting large portion
of his money that he instructed his at.
torneys here not to file the bond.
The railroad companw charges that
this conduct of Ferguson was fraudu
lent and asks the court to require the
Ferguson Company to perform its con
tract by producing and filing the bond
and to enjoin the defendant from talk
ing or sending the bond out of the jur.
sdiction of the court. The court
granted the order and the case was
set for hearing on its merits on July
IA.
The outcome of the case will be
watched with much interest as the
case is very unusual one.

In the superior court yesterday the
case against the two Americas negroes
charged with the murder of Miles Bar

was placed on trial. 1t took some little
time TO secure the jury.
The case occupied the entire day
and will not be completed until this
/, afternoon. The examination of the
witnesses was finished lare yesterday
afternoon and the defendant made his
statement, after which Jadge Parker
announced an adjournment until this
morning. The jury, in charge of a
bailin spent the night at the ogle-
thorpe hotel.
The defendant is represented by
Attorneys Chauncey, Isaac and zell
ner, while Solicitor General Bennett is
being assisted in the prosecution By
Judge A. D. Gale.
The evidence introduced yesterday
was Of conflicting nature. The
states main witness w4s the negro
hackman Symons, who testified that
he carried the two negroes, together
with Barnett. out to the cypress mills

who testified that he saw the defend,
ant on the night the murder is sup

this morning and it is expected that
the lawyers will occupy the morning
session, as all five interested in the
case will probably speak.
All during the trial yesterday the

this afternoon, adjourn for the SEES,

case against the negro Cherry, who is
charged with the same murder, is not
known but from the evidence intro
