BUR.NED CHURCH.
'Sensational Case Nearins AV Ena at
. Morganton.
A sensational trial has been in
progress for several flays at
l&orgaLtom Two years ago
tTack Keaton was arrested for
burning a Methodist church in
.that county. After the hearing
before a magistrate he fled the
State. A short time sinco he
was discovered bT State .Detect
ive Perry in Tennessee and
arrested and brought back, to
. North Carolina. While living
in Tennessee he had .married
and has a wife and one child
there. Keaton when' placed on
trial admitted that he burned
the church and acknowledged
that-he had sworn falsely on the
hearing before the magistrate.
However, he swears that the
two McCalls, for whom he
worked, had persuaded him to
burn the church in order to
divert attention from one of the
McCalls" who had burned a barn.'
The McCalls have employed
brilliant counsel and are fight
ing in every way possible to
break down Keaton's testimony.
The burning of a church is a
very grave offense .in this
State. Raleigh Times.
Job Louis Shoots Linn Morris Accident
ally Shoot? Himself Also--IIe is Com
. in i tied to Jail.
A difficulty occurred near Har-
risburg Sunday night in which
Bob Louis shot and kilted Lum
Morris. It seems that the quar
rel came about the good graces
of one Martha Ilouie to which
each had aspired.
It-appaers that Morris , had
threatened the life of LouU and
the case will have an element of
self defense in it.
Louis, in shooting at' Morris,
shot himself through the left
hand. He fired five shots. There
was something of a m.ix-up in
which one Saunders cut Louis'
clothing.
Esq. Pitts committed Louis to
jail, and, as we go to press, he is
brought back in the trial of
Saunders.
