MURDER CASE IS
SET FOR TRIAL TO-
MORROW MORNING
Motion For a Continuance Of the Case
Against Lewis Harris Charged
With Murder Of His Wife Is
Overruled and Case Is
Set For Thursday.

The case against Lewis Harris, col
ored, charged with wilful murder, was
called on the criminal docket yester-
day afternoon In Circuit. Court by Cir
cult Judge c. d. Newell. Hon. A. d.
Cole and ]. G. Wadsworth represent
ing the defendant, filed a motion for
continuance of the case until the
next term of court but Judge Newell
promptly overruled the motion The
attorneys then agreed on Thursday as
the day for the opening of the case.
Harris was brought into court yes
terday afternoon and the most of the
witnesses in the case were on hand.
They were recognized by the court for
their appearance on Thursday morn
ing at o'clock. Moreland Walker,
one of the prosecutions chief wit
nesses, was unable to be present and
on motion of the Commonwealth
Judge Newell ordered the sheriff to
obtain vehicle of some sort and have
Walker in court Thursday if his ply
steal condition would permit.
This case will probably attract
more attention than any case coming
up for trial in the local court for
some time. 1t is the first wilful muir
der case to be tried here since the
trial of the Smith brothers, who were
sentenced to the electric chair and ii
this degree of murder can be proven
by the commonwealth in this case
Harris punishment will be the cleo
trio chair.
1t will be remembered that Harris
is charged with having killed his wife
on the Saturday night before Christ
mas 1917. He is alleged to have walk
ed around the square after he had
shot her down in Halls alley in the
Fifth Ward and then returned to heI
body and while she was dying from
the pistol wounds in her head, sho
her three more times.
Following this killing, Harris Is
said to have come down town where
he purchased a full box of cartridges
for his revolver. He was then seel
in several parts of the city but al
ways managed to evade the police.
Moreland Walker, a local colore,
man, was instructed by Police Ser
geant James Mackey, who was at tina
time Chief of Police, to assist In tn
search for Harris. Walker met Har
ris along the c. & o. railroad in tn
Sixth Ward and attempted to plac
him under arrest Harris shot Walk
err three times and so seriosly in
jured him that it was feared he to-
would die and since that time Walk
err has been confined to his bed. Al
effort will be made to bring Wake
to the Court House tomorrow after
noon in an ambulance to testify IL
the case. Walker got hold of Harris
revolver in the scramble, however anC
held it. Harris went to his home IL
Fifth street where the police arrest
ed him early the next morning.
Harris waived examination and jus
what grounds his defense will be bull
on is not known.

MAN THOUGHT BOND JUMPER
RETURNS

Thomas Davis, who has been held
to the Carter County Grand Jury on a
charge of perjury, and who it was
thought had jumped his bond, return
ed to his home in this county yester-
day and the warrant issued for his
arrest in the local courts has been
dismissed. 1t seems as though a Ma
son county man had gone on Davis
bond and when he. disappeared from
his home last Sunday, the surety
thought had jumped his bond and ask
ed for his apprehension.
