oulette Released.

The young man, J. E. Oulette,
who was arrested in Memphis Fri.
day, charged with being implicated
in the murder of Rev. B. L. Holder.
and brought here, was released af-
ter preliminary trial, there being
no evidence of his being an access
sorry in any manner. The grounds
for his arrest were based on let
ter he had written to Mrs. Holder.
wkich was supposed to contain
some evidence OF his guilt, but that
letter contained no statements that
would implIcate him. He had only
written Mrs. Holder that he was a
friend to her son Lee and was in
terested in him, and advised her to
get good lawyer to defend him.
The two brothers of the deceased
Mr.. Holder are here and have en-
ployed Hon. Rice A. Pierce to de.
TEND Lee as well as Adolphus Hold
er. Thel boy had once been
tried for an assault with intent to
commit murder in the first degree
on young Mr.. Wells of Troy, in
which case he was found guilty of
involuntary manslaughter and had
a Jail sentence imposed by the
court, but because of the miscon-
duct of one of the officers in charge
of the jury, the verdict was set
aside and he was placed under bond
for his appearance at the next term
of court, when he failed to make
his appearance, and being at
large until few days since, when
he was again arrested and is now
in jail with his brother Lee. One
Of Lees uncles insists upon further
and full investigation, and says that |
Lee is not guilty of the assassina-
ton of his father.
