N ERNEST G TANI

(5Y ERNEST G. TAYLOR.)
Following a lengthy preliminary
hearing before Squire ]. j. Bork
at the county jail Friday morn
ing, John Vaughn, employe of
the Milne Chair company, was
held to the grand jury without
bail on the charge of numbering
his wife, Mrs. Laura Vaughn,
last Saturday night.
]. H. DAILY, attorney for the accused
man. in a brief argument of the case,
said there was no question but what
there was probable cause for hold
ing his client, but as the evidence
was purely circumstantial he thought
Vaughn was entitled to a reasonable
bond.
Atty Gen. George w. Chamlee de-
clared the prisoner was not entitled
to any kind of bond and character
lied the crime as being a cold
blooded, deliberate murder. Gen.
Chamlee drew a striking word pic
ture of Vaughn's flight and of his
sleeping on the ground for three
nights with the heavens as cover.
Throughout the testimony of one
witness after another. Vaughn, still
dressed just as he was when brought
to the Jail early Thursday morning,
shifted his gaze many times. He
evinced little interest in the wit
nesses, but took occasion to look
them over. lie mildly eyed the crowd
and spent much of his time looking
out the window just beyond him.
Once he reached down in a trousers
pocket, pulled out plug of tobacco.

broke off a liberal quid, and seemed
to find great contentment in the
chew.
Vaughn Very Nervous.
When questioned on Thursday he
appeared to be calm and free from
nervousness, but at his trial he
showed signs of nervousness and
agitation, frequently stroking his
head with his rough hand. He
yaWned time or two and had diff
Guilty in keeping his hands still. He
either patted the arms of his chair
or drummed on them with his fingers
during the greater portion of the
long session.
Probably the most important tes-
timony introduced was that of Will
II. Wilson, colored, who works at
Martins plumbing shop. Will said he
was on his way to his home in Bush
town Saturday night about 10 o'clock
and heard a woman scream two or
three times. After he entered his
house he heard the screams again
and he went out on his porch to lis
ten. He said he saw the rays from
a. f1ashlight which was being held
close to the ground. Later, when he
went to neighbours house to borrow
an ironing board with which to press
his clothes, he passed a man and
woman. The woman was lying on
the ground and the man was kneel-
ing over her. He said they were not
saying anything. When he came back
The man was standing just inside the
fence and Wilson thought he heard
a woman gurgling in the throat.
Asked II Vaughn was the man he
saw, Wilson said the prisoner looked
Just like the man and was about his
size. He could not positively say
was the man, however.
On Sunday morning Wilson ex-
planned that he saw where there had
been scuffie. He found two but
tons, saw womans hat and coat,
and inside the door of an old shed
short distance away. he thought he
saw a body. He told Ben Blassen-
gale, colored, of what he had seen.
and with other neighbors they went
% the barn and found the body of
l woman, later identified as that of
Mrs. Vaughn. Wilson testified that |
