DURHAM FOLKS COMING
Here Today to Ask Pardon
for W. R. Hurray
Much Interest in the Case Some
Oppose Pardon Meeting; Last
Night to Complete Arrangements
for Honoring the President
f
Durham, HT. C, Oct. 13. Special.
urns vomnar ac s o'ciock tner was a
meeting1 of th committee appointed
to indue President Roosevelt to stop
here and the citizen in general. The
meeting1 was held in the oourt house.
The object of the meeting was to
make final arrangements to receive the
president and his party rhen they
reach here next Thursday afternoon
from Raleigh. The matter Is now in
the hands of a committee with instruc
tions as to what to do and how to
prepare for the president.
It will be remembered that the origi
nal program was for the president to
' stop five minutes in Durham. Ave in
Greensboro and fifteen in Charlotte.
The board of city aldermen and cham
ber of commerce held .a Joint -session,
the idea being to get a longer stop
here than that planned. A commit
tee was sent to "Washington, Messrs.
W. A. Erwin and W. T. O'Brien going
on this committee. - The result of this
trip was to get a stop of fifteen, min
utes for Durham.
At the Joint meeting of the com
mittee and citizens tonight the report
of this committee was made. All ar
rangements are now being made to re
ceive the president. It is probable
that a platform will be erected, a short
distance from some point where the
train can stop, and that the presi
dent will make a talk to the crowd
to gather here. There is no doubt but
that a large crowd will gather to see
and hear tlie president, but the crowd
will not be as large as would other
wise be the case on account of the
large number of Durhamites who will
go to Raleigh on Thursday, the "big
ay," to attend the fair. They will
see the president there and cannot get
back in time to see him here.
Regarding the Raleigh fair, Durham
will send her usual large quota of those
who gather in the state's capital an-
liually. Durham will have the largest
crowd of any town in the state. Thou
sands will go down from here on each
day of the fair.
Much interest is felt in the annli-
cation for pardone of W. R. Murray,
who now stands convicted of man
slaughter and under sentence of two
years on the county rads, which will
' be heard by Governor Glenn tomorrow.
The attorneys in thecase, several wit
nesses and ciuite a number of citizens
will go down on the morning train.
. Murray was convicted of manslaughter
for killing his uncle. J. S. Murray, in
a street duel here last November. The
trial resulted in conviction for man
slaughter and Judge Peebles." who tried
the case, gave the defendant two years
on the roads. There was an appeal to
the supreme court and the sentence of
the lower court was sustained. Then
appeal was made to Governor Glenn
to respite the prisoner until he could
hear the application for pardon. Thi
was done and "W. R. Murray was re
spited until October 17th next Thurs
day. In the meantime Governor Glenn
sat Saturday, October 14th, as the time
when the application for pardon should
be heard. It is on account, of this hear
ing that quite a number will go down
tomorrow, j
This case has aroused more tsenuine
sympathy in this section than any case
ever tried in Durham. The facts of the
killing, told In a few words, are as
follows: J. s. Murray, the deceased,
and his nephew, w. R. Murray, were
In the same line of business. There
had been more or less bad feeling for
several years and one time the -deceased
drew a. pistol on the defendant,
but he was disarmed. This was" sev
eral years ago. This continued until
:he fatal morning last November. W.
R. Murray, who is president of the w!
R. Murray Company, was at his place
of business when a telephone message
told him that J. S. Murray was about
to whip hs (W. R. Murray's) son, -Earl
Murray. The boy is a frail, stripling
of a young man and was at that time
on his way to Trinity College, where
he was a student. W. R. Murrav hur-
,,ca co ine scene of the trouble, unarm
ed and went between his uncle and
his son and another young man, Wal
ter Markham. who was in the employ
of. TV. R. Murray. He pushed them
apart. Then the real trouble began
J. S. Murray soon had out a pistol and

negro and the negro was then arrest
ed. At the trial in the mayor's court
Greenhill swore that he had not pur
chased whiskey from the negro. Both,
swearing was done before Mayor lra
liam and he had the man arrested on
the charge of perjury. He gave bond
in the sum of 515 pending the hearing,
tfut when 'bound over today went to
jail in default of bail.
Two whiskey cases were tried before
the mayor this morning and tooth de
fendants were sent to court. James
Chamberlain and Ed Green were
charged with selling whiskey and gave
bond for their appearance. Milton
Peaks, colored, was also charged with
selling whiskey, but his case was continued.
