''DOCy' RACLAND
 IS BOUND OVER J. W. Ethridge is Also Held for Contempt and Given 24
 Hour Sentence.
REFUSED TO ANSWER
Questions PropOunded by District Attorney Nixon-The Ques-
 tfOns Asked.

When J. w. Ethridge, who is a prisoner at the county jail charged with the assassination of Albert Me- Way, refused to answer questions pro- pounded to him yesterday morning in Magistrate J. A. Frazier's court by District Attorney T. Havis Nixon, Magistrate Frazier held him in con- tempt of court and ordered him to yail for twenty-four hours and until such time as he shall appear and hn- swer the questions propounded.
 Ethridge was placed on the witness stand at the hearing gwen Doe" Kagland, negro, whose confession in Texas several weeks ago resulted in the arrest of Ethridge. Ragland is also charged with murder. When he was arraigned Judge B. J. Kerwin, counsel for Ragland, simply waived examination for his client and he was later bound over to await the action of the grand jury. Before Magistrate Frazier disposed of the case, however, District Attorney Nixon insisted on introducing evidence for the state and Ethridge having been previously sub- Ioenaed as witness for the state, he was placed on the stand. Eth ridges attorney, Senator H. K. Toney was not present in the court room and Ethridge flatly refused to answer the questions asked him by District Attorney Nixon.
 A number of questions were put to him by the prosecutor, to each of which Ethridge replied T refuse to answer" Ethridge was requested to answer the Questions by Magistrate Frazier, who told him he would be in contempt of court unless he did an- swer them. Ethridge still refused and Magistrate Frazier ordered him to jail for twenty-four hours.
 Ethr'dge Mas granted bail by Judge A. E. Grace in the Jefferson circuit court Tuesday, after habeas corpus writ was applied for by his attorney Senator Toney His bond was fixed at S10,O00 but he has not made it as yet and the sentence of Magistrate Frazier of yesterday will not incon- venaence the prisoner as he will re- main in jail until Senator Toney se- cures enough signatures on his bond Senator Toney stated Tuesday that Ethridge would make bond before the week is out
 The questions asked Ethridge by District Attorney Nixon and which were unanswered by him, follow:

! OBITUARY. Early Sunday morning one of
Stockton's oldest and respected citizens, Mr..
Eli Randell. quietly sank into the repose of
death after weary invaldsm of two years,
induced by long standing heart and kidney
troubles. The deceased was the second son of
the late Ambrose and Susan Randell and was
born on Cape Jellison March 26, 1887. In early
manhood he responded to Lincolns call for
volunteers, and bravely went to serve his
country, in her hour of sorest need returning
with health impaired beyond recuperation OF
quiet habits he calmly made the best of condi-
tons, attending to gardening upon his place
until he so far failed in physical strength as tc

active employment, resigning himself to in
door life and much confinement to the bed
| Gradually he weakened, until the exhaust ed
system utterly worn out ceased to act, and
the illness of earth was exchanged for the
peace of Gods Eternal Home" where THE
weary are at rest" An ardent Republican in
| politics, and a Universaist in religious faith a
| kind neighhor and reliable friend, he has pass
| ed "Over the River respected by all acauain-
tances and relatives. Mr. Il. never married
and since the death of his parents, many years
ago, had made his home with the family of his
brother, Capt. John Randell To this widowed
sister-in-law and her daughters, who had so
kindly ministered to him in his last feebleness,

home of Mrs John Randell, Rev. A. A. Smith

in the Cape Jellison cemetery.
