Grand Jury Returns Bill Of Murder in
the First Degree.
CASE PUT OFF UNTIL NEXT TERN
Prosecute for Murder i'm the First
Degree-WouId Ask for Verdict of
Murder in Second Degree or Man.
sIaughter-Second Monday of Janu-
AIRY Time Set for Hearing of the
Case.


Raleigh, y. c., September 2S.-The
grand jury returned a true bill for
murder in the first degree against J.
{. King, Jack Peel, L. r. High and w.
f. Durham, attendants at the state hos
pital for the killing of George Nall, on
August 24th. When the prisoners
We're arraigned this afternoon, Solicitor
Jones said he would not prosecute for
murder in the first degree, but would
insist upon the verdict for murder i'm
the second degree or manslaughter, or
any other lesser offence. The Judge
ordered an entry made on the minutes
TO that effect.
Attorney Argo for the defense asked
for q continuance to the January term
on the ground that the defendants
counsel had not been informed what
charge would be brought against their
clients, and some material witnesses
had not been subpoenaed.
Attorney Womack for the state said
that the state did not want to rush the
defendants into trial, but he did not
see any legal grounds for continuance.
SoiIcllOI jules SaIu he naQ told the
defendants counsel that a bill for
murder in the second degree would be
sent and in his opinion they had
plenty of time to get witnesses.
Governor Aycock in behalf of the
defendants said the case should be
continued because time should be given
for the strong feeling to die down,
that the minds of public were natur-
ally wrought up WIN any suspicion of
cruelty to insane was aroused and for
the defendants to have a fair trial,
time should be given for the reasoning
powers of the people to become normal
again.
The judge said in a case so import
ant, he thought the defendants should
have every opportunity to prepare their
defence and he would continue the
case as requested, as no harm could
come of it.
Counsel for both sides agreed that
the judge set Monday, of the second
week of the January term, for the trial.
Witnesses were discharged until then.

by force. shall be restricted and its
power for evil destroyed.

senting two-thirds of the white people
Of the state, reafirms the declaration
of our party in our platforms of 1899
and 1903 upon this subject, and nov
proclaimS anew our resOlute purpose to
maintain the supremacy of Our ra5e
and its control of all lawful and con-
stitutlonal means of the administra-
ton of the political affairs of the state.
Believing that the proposed consti-
tutional amendment will operate as
an effective remedy for the evils CT
our situation, without prejudice or in
jury to any race or class; regarding 1t,
moreover, as a complete response to
the clearly expressed mandate of the
people, who u~nreservedly commend
and approve it.

campaign.

blind instrument of INSCRIPTIONS and
selfish leaders,"
Senator A. P. German was present
at the convention. but did not partici-

on one side and two on the other,
shown in the ground floor plan, are
ventilating shafts 10 inches square,
which extend from the ceiling of the
basement to the plate of the barn
where they are open to the outside.
Fresh air should be admitted through
Finch tiles placed in the walls one foot
above the level Of the basement floor
and in such position that draughts will
not strike the animals. Windows
should be all hung at the top. Stabls
doors should all be cut in two horizon
tally, making the bottom part 8 feet
inches high. The barn posts are Is
feet high and the roof is hipped.
The cost of building varies in diff
ferent localities, but a fair estimate
would be about as follows: Excavat
ing. $40; cement wall, 1925; cement
floor, $125; timber, $3.50; lumber anG
shingles, $315; lumber for stable fit
tings, $40; hardware, $40; carpenter
work, $175; silo, $40. This estimate
is for first-class workmanship, and
matched lumber. The foundation tim.
bers may be made up of 2x10 inch
planks. For the superstructure, square
timber should be used.
