Will Be Turned Loose Until Trial.


Waycross, Ga, May 23.-Aeting upon
the application of the attorneys for
bond for Dan Davis ana Dave Muir
ray, Judge Parker has fixed their bonds
at $500 each. The application was
heard in Brunswick last week, at

Since then Judge Parker has been
considering the matter, and rendered
his decision to-day. Dan Davis and
Dave Murray are charged with the
murder of Horace Roberts. at Murray's
turpentine stiH in the western part of
Ware county. The shooting of Rob-
erts occurred on Sunday evening, May
l, and Roberts died from the effects
of his wounds a few days later.
At the time of Roberts death, Davis
and Murray, who were then under
bond for assault with intent to muir
der. were re-arTested on the charge of
murder and since that time have been
confined in Ware county jail. AT this
writing the defendants have not as
vet furnished bond, though their
friends assert that they will be able
to furnish the required bond.
