TO take up the cases of two negroes
charged with the killing of James
Coleman. well to-do farmer. adjourned

made no attempt to have them patrol
the town, as they did last night.
Eight witnesses were examined to-
day. and twelve remain to be examined
to morrow.

strained by q report that an attempt
would be made to have the prisoners
removed to another county for trial,

cally denied by the States attorney.
Men drove in from distances OF thirty
miles, with the expectation that the
negroes would be tried to-day. They
are remaining in town, and their pres
ence has made the authorities anxious.
