On the 9th of this month the grand jury
will convene and doubtless the first work
they will take up is the case against John
S. Shearer. charged with the murder OF
Henry Lucas. Parsons has told his story
in court. He is an accessory In
the crime, according to his own
admission. but is expectin leniency.
He Is boy "a years old, buts,has a weak
mind. In the preliminary he could not be
moved on the essential facts. One thing
favorable to the state is that he has not
read the accounts of the murder in the
papers, for he is no reader. He had not
talked with anyone about the murder, yet
when he was first detained by the sheriff
and was asked sif he could tell where the
murder was committed he said he could
He then took the officers to the place
where Lucas was killed. went with them
over the road, where on the night Of July
Is the body was taken down through a
pasture gate, through the pasture around
a large neck Of woods and TO the spot
where the body was deposited.
The defendants attorney moved for a
discharge of the prisoner at the conclusion
Of the states evidence on the grounds that
the witness was an accomplce and that
without corroborating evidence the defend
ant could not be held. Judge Rankin held
otherwise and John S. Shesrer was bound
over without bail to the grand jury
