On giving bond for $500.
The trial of Gentle was set for
2:3O O'Clock. 1t was the inten-

breaking. L. H. Clement, ESQ,

bic, Jas. G.. Hoffner, W. M. jam
lson, J. F. Richie, E. W. Kerr
and G.. E. Moore.
The first witness called by the
State was II. c. Kenerly. This
witness stated that he was in
Salisbury on the night of August
9th; saw the defendent that night
out where the negroes were lynch
ed only know what he told me-;
Gentle came up to me in the
street as near as | can remember
from the direction Of the negroes.
He seemed to be sober and said
the reason it took them so long to
get the negroes was because they
we're not all in the same cell.
Gentle said as soon as he got to
the jail old Nease knew him. He
wouldn't confess any thing till
they got HIM out to the ground,
Nease said to him that he used to
work for his daddy and he
ought'nt to do this. Gentle
asked him if he did that up
yonder, he said he did, and then
we swung him up.
Solicitor Hammer did not want
to take any chances on the recent
special term of court being de-
clared illegal by the Supreme
court, 30 he had the cases of Geo.
Erwin, John Gillespie and Della
Dillingham; presented to the grand
jury at this term. They had
witnesses before them yesterday
afternoon, and if they bring in
true bills against these negroes,
they will be placed on trial at the
conclusion of Gentle's case.
