Ashevllle, Aug. 2. Buncombe coun ty's new Jail is now practically -com- Diets. It was expected that the prls oners would be removed from the old Jail to the new structure next week. but It .was found that certain nty'e of window screen would have to be ordered and some delay w ill result. With the exception of the screens the lull is complete. With the occupancy of the new Jail the gallows; which Is now stored in the basement of the court house and which since Its construction eight years ago has sent eight men to deat.i. will no longer be needed and In all probability will be sold. The gallows was built to hang the two Emrfja burglars. Johnson and Foster. After wards It wait sent to Salirtury. where three men were executed, and also ti Stateavllle, where a nexro was nanged. Fetor Smith, of Madison, was also hanged on this scaffold. The last deadly work that the gallows per formed was the liangins of a negro here several months ago. In the new Jail a trap has been constructed and in the future If there are any executions this will 'be used. Fuperior Court for the trial of crim inal cases will convene here Monday witii Judge Ward presiding. The terpi will hold for two weeks. There are more than 100 new cases set for trial in addition to a number of hold overs. There are three homicide cases. Including the case of Joe I,ance charged with the death of -i little girl at Kkyland during the last Christmas holidays; Allison charged with th? killing of young Roberts, of Charlotte, several months ngo. and Schoolfleld Mll'er, a negro, charged with the mur der of another neero named Will For ney near Hlltmnre some time ago.
