Spedal Star Telegram. Raleiqh, N. C, March 24. Ernest Haywood was arraigned in Wake Su perior Court to-day on the grand jury bill of indictment charging murder In the killing of Ludlow Skinner,' and, after a lengthy, tilt between counsel over a prayer by the defendant for continuance, Judge Justice ordered a continuance until the July term, .with the stipulation that it come up first on the calendar for the first day of the court,- that the venire be drawn then, and the case go to trial, on Thursday., Haywood, through counsel, pre sented a rather sensational affidavit of fourteen type-written pages, setting forth grounds on which continuance is asked. 8ix Dointa were made, the lBQst:n6tat&jrtiIy nan . not naa tune no. .prepare ior. -nis defence' and a number of witnesses were absent; that owing to the solici tor's declining to prosecute it had been impossible to obtain an agreement with any one of the prosecution as to a posi tive purpose to have the trial at this court : that the case ought not to be tried now because of the prevalence of temporary and wrongfully created nublio sentiment against him, caused by untruthful newspaper publications and-false reports assiduously circula ted by persona interested in the prose cution. Several of these publications are cited, and New-and Observer tt ports, the Charlotte Observer's Monday morning!article by Avery, and the Pro- gressiver Farmer's editorial. He de clares that at least one man, George McCullen. has been employed by the prosecution to go about the county and stir up sentiment against him. He de clares thatR. N. Simms, principal wit ness for the defence, has been persis tently villified and slandered by these same agencies, since the character of his evidence was published, and intim idation used to prevent corroborative witnesses from consenting to testify. So bitter was this feeling that persons threatened to boycot Tabernacle Bap tist Sunday school and church because of Bimma' prominence there. Names of intimidated witnesses are given. In conclnsion. the affidavit declares Haywood's belief that witnesses have been intimidaterrand run off or in duced to conceal themselves and he could not now have a fair trial. But that at the next term when the man agement of the prosecution is in the hands of a solicitor appointed by the court, who will say authoritatively' that tbe State wants the truth in the matter and that witnesses, white and black, humble and high, shall be pro tected in telling what they know, then 1 will not have my witnesses run away from Raleigh or advised to say nothing or told that this was white people's business, or that if they made statements In my behalf they- would nave tneir mouths . mashed or any thing of that sort." . ' Judge Justice, in continuing the. case, named W. E. Daniel, of Weldon, as solicitor for the prosecution, in the stead of Armistead Jones, who was excused because of relations to Hay wood. Among the oninions handed down by the Supreme Court were: Davis vs. Lumber Co.. from New Hanover, peti tion allowed ; judgment below affirmed. In re Anderson, from Pender ; affirmed. State vs. Vick, from Wayne: no error. Railroad vs. Stewart, from Harnett; remanded; costs against plaintiff.
