Shepard the. Slayer Of Holt.

/ Durham, N. c., Special. Solomon
Shepard, the negro Of mysterious
action, has confessed that he killed
Engineer Holt near Durham last De-
cember. and that he had no assistant.
This startling turn in the dreadful
affair came Saturday night when DR..
N. M. johnson went into the jail to
attend a sick prisoner. Shepard had
spent the day reading the Bible and
getting religion. Why he took a
notion to unburden himself to the
doctor, is not known, but he did and
said that he slew the engineer that
night without the aid Of anyone.
The negro tells reasonable story.
There never has been any large num-
Der Of people who did NOT believe that
Engineer Holt met death meant for
another man. The wanton use Of a
shotgun was commonly called a Reu-
ben Barbee characteristic, but nobody
ever found the motive whereby Reu-
ben Barbee became the assassin of
Fred Holt. The brothers of the dead
man believed that their kinsman had
been murdered by mistake and the
negro says so.
Suspicion for this crime has been
resting on Reuben Barbee who is now
in Jail awaiting trial
It seems that Shepard had been
put off the train. In his rage he
secured shot gun and went to kill
/ the brakeman who put him off. Not
finding his man he fired a random
shot, as he says, to scare somebody.
This shot put out the life of popu-
lar and most valuable engineer.

BlGGERS IS ACQUITTED
Jury Holds That He Was Insane at
the Time Of Killing Hood.

Charlotte, Special. The jury Of
twelve freemen, the select body chos-
en- to pass upon the merits Of the
case Of State against w. S. Biggers,
charged with the murder on the
morning of Tuesday, February 9, Of
J. Green Hood, reached verdict Sat-
urday afternoon at 4:45 o'clock,
their decision being that the defen-
dant was "not guilty" Of the crime
as charged.
AS noted by every one who follow
ed the trend Of this great legal bat
tie whose results held within it the
freedom if not the life Of Biggers,
the plea Of insanity was the entire
issue. It was not that insanity for
which the asylums are built and
maintained, but that termed various
" emotional insanity, brain storm,
and the like, but in this case termed
confessional insanity.
The case was fought before the
bar with the utmost tact. and unlimit-
ed talent and legal force. No stone,
as it were, was left unturned. It was
plead that the man had suffered q
wrong and that his financial straits
had preyed upon his mind till mem
tai confusion had brought him to the
stage of not hpinp cnnScinas of tha
enormity Of the deed which he con-
templated and actually committed.
At the first vote Of the jury 10
stood for aequittal, one for murder
In the first and one for murder in the
second degree.
The jury had the case just four
hours when it. became unanimous.
The case had taken 117days in its
course.

that his new machine will make an

President Taft set June % as the
time when a hearing as to "what is

neys for the various distillers.
The President consulted with At
torney General SWickersham for an
hour and a half on the subject of the
proposition tax upon the net earnings
Of corporations.
There seems now to be little doubt
but that the corporation tax as pass
ed will exempt net earnings Of 5000
and less so as to take any undue bur-
dens off the smaller corporations.
Late Tuesday the Senate reached
the voting stage on the hide~schedule,
and after several amendments had
been defeated, the amendment of the
finance committee fixing a duty Of Is
per cent ad valorem on hides was
agreed to, 46 to 80. This is the rate
of the present law, ~put under tie
rulings Of the Treasury Department
is applicable only to hides weighing
more than 25 pounds. The House
placed all hides on the free list, but
the committee restored the .Dingley
policy.
Senator McLaurin undertook te
have the provision amended so as .ts
make the duty applicable to hides
weighing less than 25 pounds, but
failed, his amendment being voted
down 81 to 48. An amendment by
Mr.. Stone, placing no only hides bu1
many sof their products on the FIRE,
list, was also lost.
