A, Principal Bleckstoae, Va. la MU Testimony Before Judge BJlTS Mr- Wilson Curran Give Mil Version of the Killmt of Clifford Thomas Three Defend ants Admitted to Bail. Wadrbun Mener and ln::i;.r-neer. Wilson D. Curran and his son, Walter Curran, and Brady Rushing, who are charged with murdering Cuaord Thomas, in BurnsvUIe town ship, Saturday, the Cth inst., had a heann? Saturday afternoon before Judge J. Crawford Biggs on a writ of habeas corpus, and were admitted to bail, the bond of the elder Curran being placed at $5,000 and that of young Curran and Rushing at $2, 500 each. All of the accused per sons gave the bond required of them and late in the afternoon departed for their respective homes. The bonds were signed by the following gentlemen: J. E. Thomas, B. F. Ed wards, M. J. Helms, John W. Cur ran, G. W. Rushing. All the parties to the tragedy live in Union county, and had been at tending the burial of the remains cf Mr. Rosea Ross at Fountain Hill, in this county, not far from the Union county line, the killing taking place on the Anson side of the line while they were returning home. An outline of the evidence heard by Judge Biggs is given below: Henry Thomas, the father of the dead man, was the first witness for the State. He testified to having ob served at the grave, while the burial of Mr. Ross' remains was in prog ress, that there was trouble between his sons, Clifford and Randolph Thomas, and Brady Rushing and Walter Curran. Nothing important occurred at this time, however, and he left for his home after the services were over and did ntt see any more of the young men until after the homicide. Mr. Thomas also told about the trouble between his family and the Currans in regard to the al leged improper proposals made to his little daughter by the elder Cur ran. He stated that, at the instance of his pastor, he went to Mr. Curran about the matter and that Mr. Cur ran bitterly denied having said or done anything of an improper na ture in regard to the girl. Randolph Thomas, brother cf Clif ford Thomas, was the next w itness, lie also testified to the fact that there was seme cursing at the grave on the part of Brady Rushing, his brother and himself. I he witness stated that when he and his brother left the burying ground they first went home and then went to Lonnie Thomas', a distance of a mile and a half, after cider, both of then drink ing two glasses. They left Lonnie Thomas' for the home of Mr. N. G. Thomas in Anson, near whose home the funeral had taken place. Just as they got to the county line they met W uson Curran and his b-year old son. In the buggy at this time were the witness, Clifford Thomas and Ed Traywick. In a buggy a short distance beyond uson Cur ran were Brady Rushing, Walter Curran and Ed Little. Just as the buggy of the witness passed the buggy of Wilson Curran he called out that he was as game as hell. Their buggy went on a short dis tance and he pulled the lines and stopped just about the time they got even with the buggy in which were Rushing, Walter Curran and Little, As his buggy stopped the other bug- gy also stopped and the occupants of both of them jumped out onto the ground as quickly as they could, and Clifford Thomas and Rushing went to striking, or pushing, each other. Just at this time Wilson Curran ran up and struck Clifford, the witness said, whereupon Clifford turned on him and the two men went off down the road a distance of about 30 steps striking at each other. The witness said he did not see his brother hit Curran with brass knucks and did not see him knock him down. He saw a pistol lying on the ground, which was picked up by Ed Little. This pistol, the witness said, belong ed to Rushing. The clothes of the dead man were then exhibited. These were the man's shirts in the coat, cut in the back and front. Wilson Little of Union county tes tified that Le saw Wilson Curran and son after the killing; that they came to his house, which is about a mile from the scene of the tragedy; Wilson Curran was bleeding and he asked what was the trouble. Walter Curran replied that these sons of b s 1 homas bovs got his father down and were beating him and he could not aland it, and that Ed Lit tle and Brady Rushing were with him. Mark Moore testified that Brady Rushing and Clifford Thomas had some trouble at a singing on ed nesday night before the homicide. Two or three other witnesses tes tified to unimportant facts, after which the State closed. Evidence for Defendants. Wilson Curran was the first wit ness for the defendants. He first gave his version of the trouble in connection with the little Thomas girl, stating positively that there was absolutely no wrong doing on his part in connection with the child. Continuing he stated that his son, Rushing, Ed Little and himself stop ped at the home of X. G. Thomas on leaving the burying ground. They stayed there about 15 minutes and then left, he and his small son a lit tle in advance of Walter Curran, Rushing and Little, all of whom were in a buggy together. Just as he reached the county line he saw the Thomas boys and Ed Traywick coming down the road, their mule at a gallop. He turned out to the side of the road and stepped and just as they passed him one cf the Thomas boys hallowed out that they were as game as bell, and we will kill the d n sen of a b h. Just as they passed they stopped their buggy and jumped to the ground and he left his buggy on the opposite side from them as he was afraid they would shoot him. The place where the buggy, in which were the Thomas boys and Traywick, stopped was right near the buggy his son, Rush ing and Little were in. The men in both buggies jumped out and Clif ford Thomas and Brady Rushing passed some blows; he advanced some three or four steps toward them and stopped, yet some distance off, when Clifford Thomas left Rush ing and ran to him and hit him on the head with brass knucks; he backed on down the road, Clifford Thomas following, until he was knocked down bv Thomas, who then jumped astride of his body. The witness then said that he got his knife out of his pocket and opened it on his hip and commenced to use it. At first he declared he did not cut to kill Thomas, who was all the time striking him with the knucks, and only gashed up his face. In ex plaining how the fatal stab was in flicted, he declared that he struck at Thomas' arm to cut the muscle, so as to disable him, and missed the arm and plunged the knife in his chest. The cut in Thomas' back he explained by saying that he cut at the face of his antagonist and that he dodged and the blade struck in his back. After the cut in the breast was inflicted the witness said that Thomas fell to one side and that he turned him over, and with the aid of his son, Walter, got to his feet. He denied that Walter reached him un til after the fatil wound had been given, and that Walter at any time touched Thomas. Walter Curran and Rushing gave about the same account of the trag edy as did the elder Curran. Walter Curran denied that he had a knite and said that he did not at any time cut Thomas. Ed Little, who is a brother-in-law of Rushing, told about the same story as the other witnesses for the defendants. Walter Curran did not reach his father and Clifford Thomas until he saw Thomas fall over. He also stated that Thomas knocked Curran down and was on him all the time until he saw him fall to one side. Little also testified to picking up a pistol in the road and unbreacn ing it and throwing it in the road He said that Randolph Thomas reached for the pistol just as he did and asked him for it. The attorneys for the defendants, after Little testified, stated that they had no more evidence to offer. Judge Biggs wanted to know if Ed Traywick, the young man who was in the buggy with the Thomas boys, was not in court; that he want ed to hear the testimony of one dis interested witness, as those who had been examined were either parties to the trouble or km to them. Traywick then went on the stand, and it appeared from questions put to him by the judge that if he was any kin to the parties involved in the tragedy it was distant. His tes timony differed from that of the de fendants in two important particu lars. He said that Wilson Curran ran up while Clifford Thomas and Rushing were knocking and took part in the fight. Curran, it will be re membered, testified that Thomas ad vanced on him and struck him with brass knucks. Travwick also testi fied that Walter Curran reached where Thomas had his father down before Thomas fell over and appear ed to be reaching for Thomas. Thomas, he said, was on top of Cur ran. He took a pair of knucks off of Thomas' right hand after he was dead. Traywick was the last witness ex amined and after a short speech by Mr. L. D. Robinson, counsel for the defendants, Judge Biggs announced his decision, admitting the prisoners to bail. Struck a Rich Mine. S. W. Bends of Coal City, Ala., says he struck a perfect mine of health in Dr. King's New Life Pills for they cured him of liver and kidney trou ble after 12 years of suffering. They are the best pills on earth for consti pation, malaria, headache, dyspepsia, debility. 25c, a,t English Drug Co.'s.

R. B. REDWINE, President. H. B. CLARK, Cashier. FINANCIAL BULLETIN. On November 2nd, 1902, The Bank of Union opened its doors w business. A wonderful change has been wrought in the Banking business of Union county since that date. Instead of one Bank there are six; and instead of assets of about $80,000, the Banks now contain nearly $1,500,000.00. Money has come out from hiding E laces and people now have banking facilities which they never had efore. The Banks are prosperous and they have added new life all along the line in business and upon the farms. Did the Banks bring prosperity to the people? They have had a large share in it. THE BANK OF UNION tried hard to help things along from the becinninar of its career to the present, yet it don t claim to have done it all by any means. We are willing for the people to say how much. However, candor will cause most any one to con fess that no Bank deserves deposits more than THE BANK OF UNION. The man, woman or child who deposits in this Bank shows good taste and, good business judgment. Thi3 verdict comes from the intelligent and unbiased and not from envious souls. On all financial matters see THE BANK OF UNION. mmm Comfort vudor PORCH. SHADES T. P. DIIaLvON. Just think of it for a moment the largest and best selection of PORCH ROCKERS.
