There was very little to be found in the graves of the two young est children, except pieces of the coffins. William Green Carr, who was aged 23 years at his death, was buried in a metallic coffin. After it was taken from the grave the top was taken off and many people viewed the re mains through the glass. The white collar and tie had not fad ed and there was a bunch of green looking flowers, perhaps artificial, pinned on the lappel of his coat. The corpse was natur al looking after being in the ground over 44 years. -Chapel Hill News. Verdict of the Jury Returned Within Thirty Minutes. Argument of the Lawyers. As The Recorder went to press last Thursday afternoon, the at torneys for the State and the prisoner, J. B. Harris, were pre senting their case to the jury. This was completed and the Judge delivered his charge and the jury were given the case Thursday afternoon about 6:30 o'clock, and they returned a ver dict of not guilty about 7 o'clock When the verdict of the jury was announced there were cheers in the court room, showing that those that had been in the court room and heard what was to be made known about the affair be lieved as the jury. Loved ones and friends of the prisoner crowded around him to congratu late him. Following is a sum mary of the argument of the lawyers and the charge of the judge. JHE ARGUMENT OF COUNSEL. The case was closed at 11:45 o'clock and in a few minutes Mr. R. B. Boone, who appeared with the representatives for the state, was the first to address the jury. He concluded his argument in time for recess. In his argu ment Mr. Boone devoted much of his time to the law in the case, calling the attention of the court to decisions on the self defense killing, and .';en reviewing the evidence as given in the trial. He was severe on Harris, espe cially in regard to the note busi ness. His speech was an able an(j j one and called strongly for the conviction of the defendant of murder in the second degree. After the noon recess the first one to argue to the jury was Judge R. W. Winaton, for the defendant. His was a very able effort. He called the attention of the court to three cases, two in this state and one in Georgia, wherein the question of self defence was gone into very fully and he contended that these j cases were along the same line a.- w;c tjse uii iricti. uier mis ; he argued to the jury the evi-: : denoe in the case, telling of thej I manner in which Harris had been ! tivafed by floss, referring to the j intimations about the note and! j saying that the other side was1 I un:' tir in arguing more about the ' ' not. than ever came out in thej j court. j It.' was followed by Mr. J. A. ! Gilr.s for the prosecution. Mr. Giles made a strong argument and said that he could not see : how jurors could do their duty and not convict the defendant of second degree murder. He said that there were elements in the case that looked like murder in the first degree, but that the state only asked for second dregree. He referred to the same opinions as were referred to by Mr. Boone and took up the opinions men tioned by Judge Winston and showed that in each of these cases the deceased was doing some unlawful act that brought about the killing. Mr. V. S. Bryant closed for the defendant, making one of the best arguments heard in the court room here in a long time. Mr. Bryant argued the law in the case and read extracts from several j opinions by the court. He pic tured the scene of Goss hound ing Harris down: of causing him to run on several occasions; of never losing an opportunity of calling him vile names and tell ing him that he would kill him before it was all over. Thrice Harris had tucked his head In shame and run from this man (Coutinui-il on Second !'g.) 4MMMMtMMMMMMMtMMMMMMFtMMMtfc Ml DEPOSIT YOUR MONEY WI TH ik Oi lit lit lb IK Ml IK Ik Hi ib lb lb lb ib ib lb lb ib CITIZENS NATIONAL BANK OF DURHAM.
