Since the State militia was called into

Jury will continue in session and take
up the cases of others arrested for

that these will be held only on INSIDE

John Wayne, the negro identified
by John Ailiff as the murderer of his
wife near Hinton, will probably be
taken to the penitentiary at Mounds
Vile for safe keeping. He will be
tried in Fayette county in October
and since the news of his identified
ton by Ailiff became public, it is not
regarded as safe to keep him here.
The militia will be kept on duty until
