CHARGED WITH MURDER,
HER HUSBAND AND HIS BROTH.
ER HELD AS ACCESSORIES.
Preliminary Hearing Has Been POST
poned ndefinItely-Three Letters
Found, One Kept Secret.

Whiteville, N. c., Feb. S.-Vague
and indefinite rumors continue to be
circulated here as to what the State
Will attempt to show as a motive for
the shooting to death Saturday even
ing at Mount Tabor Of Robert M.
Floyd, medical student of South
Carolina, by Mrs. N. M. Hayes, who
claims that she acted in defense of
her honor.
Mrs. Hayes is in Jail awaiting a
preliminary hearing on the charge of
murder and her husband and his
brother, Lloyd Hayes, IA years old,
are also in jail charged with being ac-
cessories before the fact.
The preliminary hearing was first
announced to be held here today, but
has been postponed to some future
date yet to be selected, the delay per-
haps being occasioned on account Of
the fact that counsel on both sides
desire further time in which to pre-
pare for the legal battle which will
likely take place. The trial will be
held before Justice w. c. Graham, Of
Mount Tabor before whom the war
rants were issued. D. J. Lewis was
retained yesterday as counsel for the
prosecution and he spent the day at
Mount Tabor investigating the shoot
ing and in search Of any possible evil
dence.
M. T. Floyd, father Of the young
man killed, and Julius T. Floyd, a
brother, Of Gallivants Ferry, S. c.,
spent yesterday here. The elder Mr..
Floyd expressed the firm conviction
that his son was the victim Of a con-
spiracy and asserts he wants to see
justice done.
He stated that three letters were
found in the pockets Of his son from
the Hayes. one from Mrs. Hayes
asking that he<come here and treat
her for a mole and also one from her
husband requesting the same thing,
while the contents Of the third letter
was not given out, but Is said to have
some bearing on the case.
No one has been found but Mrs.
Hayes who pretends to have been
present at the time Of the shooting.

Orozco was content with repuIsing
the enemy. After the retreat of the
latter he searched the ground thor
oughly, but discovered no signs of
blood letting.
After the skirmish Orozco said that
while there has been no loss of life.
he was glad of the moral effect" of
repulsing the enemy. The moral eff
feet" was needed, for Orozco's stock
dropped several points among his
sympathizers. first, when he allowed
Rabago to elude him at Bauche OH
Sunday, and second, when he failed
to attack Jaurez on the heels of that
officer. Orozco gave his side of the
story Tor the first today. He had
waited at Bauche two days for Ra-
bago. He was without food or water.
His men clamored for an advance ON
Juarez. he said, declaring that Ra-
bago was a myth, or had been en-
gagged further south by Gen. Blanco.
Leaving fifty men on guard, where
two sections Of the railroad track had
been removed, he started north. His
men, he said, " 3re nearly exhausted
from hunger and fatigue, and his
horses worn out.
He had not been gone an hour
when Rabago's train arrived and WAS
derailed. The rebel guard engaged
the Federals at intervals during the
night, Rabago, meanwhile, moved into
the trenches, which Orozco's force
had deserted.
\ skirmish fair was maintained az
intervals on Sunday. Then by a dar-
ing move, protecting his rear with
rapid fire guns, Rabago escaped into
a pass on the hills. The jaded rebels
were unable TO follow.
OroZco placed the number oc his
own dead in the Bauche fight al two
and his wounded at four. lie thought
that twenty-siX patients, now in the
Federal hospital at Jaurez. embraced
the Federal wounded, but insisted
that they lost six or eight killed in
stead of one, as had been reported.
He said that some of his men saw
the Federals burying the dead.
