I never met Judge Moore af ter that term till a few months ago when he came to Mecklenburg to hold our spring term, but he whs still the same pleasant, affable xi-ntlcmnn that ti was when a boy on the campus at , Chape) Hill. "Judge Moore had a Sigh Ideal, and lie endeavored as a clfi.en and as h Indicia oflleer to live up t' It as near ly as ft Is given to man to do.

Taking the stana in nis own aeiense ia ' Tim V i . . swore that his victim had v,ou",y. uuniinru an u nmm B upon him cursing, with hand drawn back toward his hip. Then he opened fire and Boyd fell mortally wounded. The affair happened a few weens g-o near Hopewell, about a dozen miles from Charlotte. There were no eve-witnesses to the shooting It self though Fletcher was seen leav ing the scene of the snooting a min ute or two after the shots ranr out. Little difficulty was experienced 1.1 securing a Jury and the machinery of the law was shoved Into motion at once. Mr. E. A. Auten, a farmer of the vicinity in which the crime occurred, was the first witness. His testimony was used as a basis for that which followed. He described the tonoaraDhrcal conditions and the rel ative locations of different places. A tnao was drawn and hung up where the Jury could see It and witnesses were made to Illustrate their remarks by reference to this. The first Mr. Auten knew of the killing wan when news reached him of It as he was going to attend cnurcn services at Hupewall. Responding, he went at once to the place. On the ground lay the ooay or jeore . I Bovd. A bullet hsd passed through the roof of his meuth Into his head. Another wound was In bis knee. The two men had had aome dif ficulty two weeks previous at a base ball game and this ill. feeling had not mproved. yesterday afternoon jom liord. the vounr brother of the mar. deceased, told of Fletcher's pssslnb by his home snd asking where noyu was. HEARD THE SHOTS. The wife of Ed Marlnger came nearest to being an eye-witness to the shooting. She was sitting nswn in the doorway, or thereabout, when she heard the oletol shots. In a few- seconds she located the direction and saw Fletcher coming from a spot where she afterwards found the body. Her house was about one hundred yards from the scene of the homicide. She thought Fletcher must have been three or four yards from tne oouy. whleh she could not see owing to high cotton row. , Mr. Shannonhouse tried his wits on the woman and succeeded in confus ing her pretty badly on the measure ments Involved, and she left the stand with her testimony slightly weakened. As It proved, however, this had no very Important bearing on tho Issue anyway, as the main question is whether or not the killing was pre meditated. There was a renewed stir of Inter est as the prisoner's name was called nt he pressed forward to tne stand The speclators craned their necks for took at the man whose life was In Jeopardy. In the "Tale of Two Cit es" when tho young man Is plarol on trial for treason In nn EnHah court, Dickens describes the mnrbld rar.lng rrowd as njentally quartering him, limb by limb. Something of this there may have been In the court ooni crowd some spectator who mentally fapcled the prisoner . suffer- In the possible death pciiAity out not much of It was there. The fa-es of the assembled one reflected the humsnlxlng Influences of the pnt few centuries. In all waa Interest, but In most a sort of compassion. "I shot George Hoyd," said the ne gro in the witness chair. "II. threatened my life. He started to cursing me and kep advanrln' on me He reach"d toward his pistol poaket. I went back. I went baek." he repeated. "And then I shot him."' leaving the scene of the tragedy be told a number of persons what he had done, ss Id he had done It In self-defense and Intended to give himself up.
