OF MURDER Charge

Columbia, Miss, Oct ga mild
sensation was created here yesterday
morning when E. E. Moore, son of Vice
Mayor E. s. Moore, was arrested on
the charge of having killed John Cur
ry, the negro who was mysteriously
murdered at the fair grounds last Fri
day night. Young Moore had a hear
ing before Mayor E. S. Donnell and
Justice of the Peace Beverly Matthews
this afternoon and was acquitted, the
testimony not having been strong
enough to warrant his being held.
The two most important witnesses
introduced by the state were V. E. Car
yer and James Morgan, both of whom
are connected with carnival compa-
ny which was exhibiting at the fair
grounds on the night of the killing.
The testimony Of both these men was
practically the same. Each witness
said that Moore looked like the man
who fired the fatal shot, but neither
would positively identify him.

gineer for the ocean Wave" one of
the attractions forming the Cosmopoli-
