SOLICITOR GENERAL THOMAS
WILL BE PRESENT FOR
THE STATE.
NEW WITNESS is LOCATED
Identity Is Being Kept Secret by the
Officers, but His Testimony, it Is
Said, Will Go Far Toward Clearing
up the PuzzIing Mystery.


V. NJ. Davis, the white man who is
held in the Glynn county siail charged
with the murder of his wife, whose
body was found in the woods " short
distance this side of Thalmann a few
weeks ago, has. through mis- attorney
Judge D. w. krauss, made demand
for preliminary trial, but as vet nc
date has been set for it.
1t is the purpose of Solicitor Gen.
eral Thomas to be present to repre-
sent the state at the commitment rial
and, as it is impossible for the solici
tor to be in the city any day during
the present week, it is hardly prob
able that the trial will be held before
the middle of next week. AS soon as
Solicitor Thomas knows denitely
just when he can be in the city the
date of the hearing will be arranged.
New Witness Located.
While no new facts in TN mystery
have been made public recently, it is
understood, on good authority, that
there have been some new develop.
ments recently. 1t is learned that a
new state witness, whose identy has
not been made public, has been locat
ed and that he will be present at the
preliminary hearing. His testimony
it Is stated, will probably be the most
important that the state VIII introduce
and will, to some extent. clear up the
mystery which has so puzzled the off.
GERS of Brunswick and Glynn county
ever since the murder of Mrs Davis
was discovered. Just who ting wit
ness is is being kept secret by coun.
ty officials, but it was stated yester.
day that he would be in the CITY to
give his testimony at the preliminary
hearing.
Until this time the real faNs in the
case will probably be kept from the
public. AS the murder has proved
such a mystery to the people of the
city and county the outcome of the
trial will be awaited with interest. i
