 There was much disappointment because
 the case could not be heard at this time.

 Amos Phillips A REWARD IS OFFERED George Nelson, Who Was at First Charged With the Crime, Is Being
 Congratulated on His
 Exoneration.
A REWARD IS OFFERED

Gadsden, May 2.-(Special )-Much of the mystery surrounding the murder of Amos Phillips in this city a year ago has been cleared up. when the governor today of fered a reward of s10O for the arrest and conviction of Gus, alias Augustus Flood for that offense.
 It will be remember that Phillips, a young white man, who operated a small grocery store in Gadsden was shot one night near the Southern railway depot and expired in few minutes.
 At the time he was surrounded by a number of friends and was supposed to have been engaged in an altercation with an unknown man and boy. At that time Flood had fled to another state. where traces of him were lost, and the gov ernor now offers slOO for his appresen- sion.
 Young George Nelson has many friends, who are congratulating him on the out come of the case, and the esta tablishment of his complete innocence without a shaved of doubt.
 Phillips. the murdered man, was a quiet inoffensive sort of fellow, and at the time he received his death wound was not armed. The fight was the outcome of attentions paid some notorious women, one of whom testified before the coroner s jury that Nelson was the man who shot Phillips
