COURT FOR FELONIES.

FOrger Fred c. Bones Case Set for
Tuesdny-Queen Elizabeth VictO-
ria Indicted for Murder of Little
Thomas Paul-Isaac Holmes In
dicted for Murder of Robert NAL
Iard-FOur Indictments for Assault
with Intent to Murder.
After being in session for more than
two hours yesterday afternoon the Su-
perior Court grand jury found fifteen
true bills. Among the number are
two murder charges and four for as
sault with intent to murder.
Perhaps the case in which there was
the most interest was that of Fred
c. Bone, the Jacksonville man held in
the county Jail on a charge of forgery.
After considering his case but q few
minutes a true bill was found. Bone
must answer the charge in the Su-
perior Court, the case being set for
trial on Tuesday.
The indictment was found on only
one charge, that of making forged
check for the, sum of $23S.64 and sign
ing thereto the name of A. F. Squire
This fraudulent check Bone attempted
to pass, but failed.
He was arrested by Detective Frank
Wall and at the hearing in Police
Court was bound over to the Superior
Court. Bones confession destroyed
any chance that he may have had of
being turned loose by the grand jury.
1t is probable that plea of guilty will
be entered when the case is called,
though he may see fit to fight 1t out,
despite the confession.
"Queen Victoria" Held.
A true bill was found against Queen"
Elizabeth Victoria, colored, charging
her with the murder of little Thomas
Paul. The father of the dead child
appeared as prosecutor. The case is
set for trial on Tuesday.

parents, a number of children had been
throwing bricks at Queen" though
young Paul was not with the crowd.

picked up a brick, throwing it into
the crowd. Instead of striking any of
her tormentors, the brick hit Paul,
striking him in the stomach. The day
following, the boy died as a result Of
his injuries.
Isaac Holmes, colored, was indicted
for the murder of Robert Mallard, a
white man. 1t is alleged that Ma,llard
