of the $1,000 that he paid for the return
of the two $1,000 6 per cent. bonds that

from Jones for negotiating the return of
tho bonds for the $1,000 and that II. P.
Dortch returned the $3.50 to Godfrey that
heHrecciv.ad from Jones for the part, he
l--took In engaging Colonel Harris ms

James Byrd has been acquitted Of tho
charge Of the murder q Demo King
1t Is Il remarkable fact that Byrd &c
tually told three different people on the
Knight previous to the finding of tho dead
man that he had killed ing, but a num-
Der Of reputable Witnesses testified as
to the whereabouts of Byrd during tho
night in such n way as TO prove n COM
| plete alil1l for him, necessitating his dis
charge. Byrd was crazed by drink, and5it
| Is c'aimed that his idea that he killed
King was M halluclnation 1t wilt be
remembered that King was found on the
Southern Railway track.
