er Cases.
The second week of Robson
Superior Court for the trial of
criminal cases has been and will
be almost entirely taken up with
the trial Of murder cases, though
several other cases have been
disposed of. At the time of 60
ing to press June McKoy is on
trial for the murder of Alex. Nc
Koy. The case against Berry
Mclean, who was included in
the bill of indictment for this
murder, has been dismissed on
account of lack of sufficient evil
dence against him.
The trial of Duncan Monroe,
Robt. Maultsby and Lawrence
Townsend, all colored, for the
murder of Will Smith, also color
ed, in Thompson's township on
September IA, will begin to-

AS The Robesonian went to
press Monday William Glover, col
ored, was on trial for killing his
2-year-old son on the 4th of last
July. Solicitor Sinclair announc-
ed that he would not ask for a
verdict of murder in the first de-
gree but for a verdict of murder
in second degree or mans
laughter. The jury returned
a verdict of manslaughter with
recommendation of clemency
and Glover was sentenced to the
chain gang for one year. It was
in evidence that he was so drunk
at the time that he did not know
he had killed the boy until some
hours later and there was no evil
dence of intention on his part
to commit the deed.
