The hearing was continued last

serious offenses with which he is

a reward to divulge information about
the burning of the Standard Oil ware

his implication of Earl Jones, who is
now in Jail at Norfolk.
1t is understood that young Moore

Mr. Donnel Gillian, of Tarboro, ar
rived in Raleigh yesterday afternoon,
and with Col j. G. l.. Harris, held a
conference with their client, Robert
Wingate, the sewing machine agent
from Tarboro charged with criminal
assault on a woman of that town.
1t was first thought that Messrs.
Gillian and Harris would apply for
a writ of habeas corpus. but it de-
veloped that they had succeeded in
raising the $1,000 bonds, and would
probably raise the additional bond of
$500, and they were in telegraphic
communication with the friends of the
prisoner last night. 1t is not thought
likely that they will apply for writ
of habeas corpus, but it is believed
that Wingate will give bond for his
appearance at Edgecombe court, and
be released from Wake county Jail

Wake county has just been the
scene of a sensation brought about
by the Gattis-Kilgo case. 1t devel-
oped that more than one had been try
ing to influence jurors in favor of the
defendants. 1t has even been hlnted
that some of the lawyers of Raleigh
were more or less connected with the
affair. Two men have already been
sentenced to six months each impris-
onment, and other Investigations are
being conducted. All of which is
justly proper. When we see the day
that our lives and property are not
safe in the courts, then give us alb

much "outside" influence eXerted in
more than one trial in the State. The
