FOR MURDER DONE LONG AGO
PURYEAR ON TRIAL AFTER 81
YEARS OF LIBERTY.
Convicted Once, Declared Insane and
Fled West-Neighbor's En-
nifty Responsible.

RALEIGH, N. c., August "a trial
unprecedented is in progress at Oxford.
where DR.. James D. Puryear Is being
charged with the murder of Charles AUS
tin. a negro, in Granville county in 1881.
The black was killed because of his fail
ure to remove some sorghum cane from
Puryear's land. Puryear. then thirty
years of age, was a country physician and
farmer. Austin rented land from him.
The arrest of Puryear was prompt. He
was convicted Of murder, but the plea
was made that his mind was impaired.
The state opposed this contention, but he
was in January. 1888, declared to be a
dangerous lunatic and was sent to the in
sane asylum here, from which two years
later he escaped
His disappearance was complete. He
could not be found in Granville and 1t
was believed he had gone to Mexico. 1t
Is now known that he was aided by kins-
men and went west.
He returned quietly to Granville county
four years ago. and no public notice was
then taken OF his return, but quarrel
with neighboring farmer in which Pur-
year made threats. caused his arrest, and
the penitentiary authorities were notified
A singular state of affairs then devel-
Oped. AT the time Of the crime the crimi-
nal insane were kept in the insane asy-
lum, but several years ago the Legislature
provided special quarters for them in the
Ienitentiary, to which they are now regu-
larly committed. but this could not apply
to Puryear. and SO yesterday he was put
on a second trial for the murder.
The widow of his victim is the chief wit
ness against him, and she told the story
graphically yesterday. The defense is in
sanity.
