Bessemer, January 6-(Special.) 1.-The
trial of John Andrews, the negro who is
charged with the murder of Taylo john
son in a livery stable in this city nearly
two years ago, commenced in the city
court this morning, and most of the day
was taken up with the empaneling of
the jury. When court adjourned only
one witness had been examined, while
viii Milstead, who was with Johnson
and was wounded on the night of the
killing, was still on the stand.
The killing created quite a sensation
at the time. Andrews and Johnson, with
two other companions, had come to this
city from Dolomite in hack and had
left the two horses at Andrews Livery
stable. At 1880 they all returned and it
was then that difficulty arose, in which
johnson was shot and almost instantly
killed and Milstead wounded in the side
and thumb. The defense pleaded not
guilty and told the jury that they ex-
pected to prove that Andrews did not fire
the shot which killed johnson.
DIR. Winters was the first witness, and
how the bullet entered the mans back at
the lower part of the spine and came out
just over the left nipple, which seemed
to indicate that Taylor was in STOPPING
position when shot.
VIII Milstead was the second witness,
and he averred that Andrews shot him
and Johnson, but on cross-examination
said that his back was toward Andrews
and that he did not see the shot fired.
He claimed that three shots were fired
in all.
The court house was packed and
damned. mostly with negroes, with whom
Andrews is popular. A small army of
witnesses were sworn, many of whom
will testify to the character of the de-
PENDANT.
The case will probably consume the
whole of the next two days, after which
the Raleigh Jones case will come up.
