NEGRO CUTS NEGRO.
office. McRaIy 3rings Cnc Ff0m Tn
der House.

Two negroes. or as one claims three,
were in q cutting scrape at the Union
depot yesterday morning but WerC
finally caught and landed in the lock-
up.
The two men are Robert Boyd and
Henry Reeves, the first notice of the
difficulty coming to officer j. n. Me-
Rary when his little daughter ran into
his home and told him that two
negroes were fighting at the depot.
Mr. McRary fastened there and both
got out of the way. Reeves ran up
Dawson TO Davie street and had under
a house but finally rolled out, Mr. Nc
Rary having his gun on him.
1t developed that Boyd was badly
cut about the face and Reeves is ac-
cused of doing this, though he asserts
u third negro did the cutting. Boyd
was later arrested and both he and
ReveS will be on trial in the police
court this morning. AS soon as posSi-
bic after the cutting the wound on
Boyd's face was sewn up and looked
after by DR.. z. E. Hines.

MITCHELL IsEpRIEVED.
Negro Ni,o Killed ana Crcnatcd His
Wife ResDited U"til January 22-

Governor Glenn yesterday granted
a re rieve to Jesse r.. Mitchell under
sentence Of death III Martln county, for
the nurdei of his wife. from Decem-
Ber as 10 January 22d. The re-
prieve is granted 10" the purpose of
considering a strong petit-n asking
that the sentence Of the condemned
man he commuted to Imprisonment in
the penitentiary.
The crime Of which Mitchell was
convicted held many horrible features.
After killing his wife the negro cre-
mated her body. and it was some little
time before he was arrested. The evil
denCe While wholly circumStantial,
was conclusive. and the fact of the
killing was afterwards admitted by the
prisoner.
According TO the tale CT Mitchell,
his wife, after they had gone to bed.
commenced to quarrel and became SO
violent that he got up and left the
house. He was then pursued by the
woman who ran him near the barn
and struck him with Il 'spatter dash. :"
Z hen, according to the confession.
Mitchell picked up a cart board" and
struck his wife on the head and she
fell and died at once. Mitchell says
that his wife was a very strong woman
and dangerous when angry.
In the absence of witnesses this con-
feSsiOn Is OF course open to doubt as
revealing the real circumstances of the
crime and the doubt is strengthened
by the subsequent effort of the muir
derer to conceal the killing.
The afiidavits which accompany the
petition for Communication are numer-
Gus and concur in the statement that
the prisoner is a negro who is sup
posed to be of weak intellect and sub
ject to insane outbursts Of anger. His
mother was insane and the petitioners,
many of them among the best citizens
of the county agree in saying that
there is sufficient doubt of his sanity
