Several of our young men who ought to be law abiding citizens, are paid to be running off to keep from testifying before the grand jury. Can’t the court do some thing for them ? For the first time in a long time prohi bition got a black eye Tuesday. It was in Paris, where the whisky men won by 187. Both sides used the strongest efforte, the best epenkere being employed to advocate the respective causes, Cracurt Court re-convened at noon on Wednesday with his honor, Judge Morrow, on the bench. The jury in the case of Cable against the L N, for $5,000 damages for injuries received while in the employ, which was discharged till court met again, reported that they were unable to agree. They stood ten for Cable and two for the railroad. The trials of John Brice, 2, for the murder of Si Singleton at Kings Moun tain is set for the 13th day of the term; Ike Logan, attempted rape, same day, and Jim Walker, petit larceny, same day, Judge Morrow fined Judge McClure $5 for talking in court Wednesday and when the Judge replied “That's all right, sir,” he elapped another $5 to the amount. Then Judge McClure began to think it was time to stop and he did #9. The cases of Lee B. Currter for the mur der of J. W. and Tom Moore at Mt. Ver non in July Inez, brought here by change of venue, were called Wednesday afternoon and the defendant announcing himself ready, he was put on trial first for killing J. W Moore. Not a great deal of difficulty was experienced in obtaining a jury, it being secured from the standing list and the by standers, after 44 persons had been examin ed. It is no followe; Mat Sandidge, J. M. Philips, W. A. Coffey, J.M Hill, W. M. Lackey, D. McKitrick, J. M. Wray, R. Barnett, Van Owens, J. H. Reines, F. Reid, J. 11. Miller, Mr. Carter is represented by Welch Saufley, Judge M. H. Owsley and R. C. Warren, and the Commonwealth's at tornecy is assisted by Colonel Bradley, H. T. Noel, D., R. Carpenter and W. H. Mil ler. The circumstances of the tragedy as published at the time show that Judge McClure went into the arora of the Moore Brothers and asked J. W. Moore to write to the mother of the Huff boys, who were charged with ku-kluxing, that the report that they would be killed when they came to town for trial was untrue. Tom Moore answered that they would not write each a letter, as it would be an admission that they had something to do with the matter. Judge McClure thereupon, as he saya, laid his hand on Jack's shoulder, and asked if that was his game. Tom then fired at Mc Clure and Carter coming to the rescue fired at Moore. They emptied their pietora at each other, while McClure and Jack strug gled to the street. Then Carter came out and started down the street and as he went Jack Moore fired at him with a Winchester rifle Carter went to Willis Adams’ and pro procuring a double barrelled shotgun, re turned, both the Moore boys firing at him as he did so. He then fired, killing Jack Moore and with a second shot mortally wounded Tom, who fired at him again af ter falling. The dying declaration of Tom Moore is an followe: “They wanted us to write to Puss Huff to tell her boys to come in, that they would not be hurt. We told them that we would not write it, that we did not belong to any mob and to write that would be to acknowledge that we did. McClure then cracked his hands in Jack's face and asked if that was his game. Jack told him it was, McClure grabbed Jack and I drew my pistol and fired at McClure. Carter drew his pistol and fired at me about the same time. Carter and I exchanged shots till I saw Carter’s pistol was empty. I had one load remaining in my pistol after I found Carter’s pistol was empty. Saw I could kill Carter after I saw his pistol was empty, but would not do it.” This a state ment was taken by the county attorney and sworn to before Police Judge H. C. Gentry. It will be observed that it only states that part of the difficulty which occurred inside the store. This statement was, however, not permitted to go to the jury. Some twelve witnesses were examined for the prosecution yesterday and at 4 o'clock Col. Welch began to state the case for the defense. The trial was continued after supper last night and with the speeches will probably occupy the court all of to day. The grand jury has returned 27 indict ments, mostly for gaming and minor offen ces. George Carter has been indicted for malicious assault on Will Murphy, but none has been found against Murphy for putting Carter so far.
