The Story Of the Killing of One Brother

Devoted to Each
Other.
Especial to News and Observer.D

Especial to News and Observer
Greensboro n c., Dec. 13.-In the
Superior Court this morning the grand
jury brought in true bill for mur-
der against d. Il. Hornady, the young
man in Gibsonville, who killed Lis
brother two weeks ago. Later defend
ants attorneys, Messrs. S. G.. Rrad-
shaw, Stedman g. Cooke, entered Il
plea of guilty of manslaughter which
was accepted by the solicitor. TnA
principal State witness was eXamii!, ii
who said all he knew about it was
that he found one brother lying in the
road dying from q knife stab i'll The
breast and the other was kneeling. be
side him, crying and weeping. Dc
fcndant told him that he and his
brother were drinking, that his broth
er got mad over q trifie and struck
at him with a large Lithia bottle, and
without thinking his knife was open
he showed his afim back and must
have stuck the little blade of the knife
into him.
The widow of the deceased testified
that defendant and her husband we're
inseparable companions and the mos
'affectionate of brothers, and never had
been at outs. That when she asked
defendant why he killed his brother
he said he would not have done K
for the world, and that he never
thought about his knife boing open at
the time She said he lay beside the
dead brother all night and WeDt like
one crazy and. she. knew he never
meant to do her husband any harm
The wife of defendant also spok" OF
the great affection between the broth
ers. saying that the deceased had come
to their house that night and got her
husband to go out in the country with
him on some kind of frolic. Her nus
band had great habit of whiting
with his knife or picking his teeth
with the little blade when not at work
and she believed him when he said
he never thought about his knife be
ing open in his hand when he had
wardcd off his brothers stroke with
the bottle. The little blade had
pierced his breast and he died in ten
minutes. Solicitor Brooks said it was
one of the saddest and strangest cases
he had ever known. That it had been
impossible to get a single witness to
consult with him or to intimate that
there was anything but the most low
ing affection between the brothers. He
believed that this grief would follow
the survivor through life as shadow
and a punishment. The widow of the
deceased and the whole community
without exception seemed to believe
that the killing was absolutely without
malice and was an accident Under
the circumstances. he said he would
leave the matter entirely in the hands
Of the court, as to whether judgment
should be prayed or not. Defendant s
attorneYs explained that they entered
the submission of manslaughter be-
cause. under the rules OF evidence.
