The Late Homicide. .
The late hour at which the fatal oc
currence, last Saturday afternoon
took place gave us an opportunity to
give the public but a very limited
account.
About five o'clock Saturday after
noon a warrant was served upon offi
oer Hogue and a preliminary hearing
was had before M. B. Bar bee, Esq.,
at which there was a very large at
tendance, consisting mostly of colored
people.
The state introduced two witnesses,
Dr. James McKee and a colored man
named Mekin Lane. Here the State
rested and the testimony of the de
fense commenced.
The first witness was Mr. H. H.
Crocker, clothing merchant, doing
business on Hargett street. He said
that he was standing in his door
when he saw the commotion and saw
Jones running down the street with
Hogue after him and heard the first
two shots fired. He states that Hogue
was then about twenty feet behind
Jones. Jones halted and Hogue ran
up and caught him by the collar and
tuseeled with him as if trying to get
the better of him. Jones turned and
the two men grappled face to face and
Jones struck Hogue upon the head.
The officer then fired again.
Mr. Oldham, Mr. Crocker's clerk,
stated that when Jones stopped after
the first two shots that he turned' and
met .officer Hogue half way and was
grappling with him and striking him
when he fired a third shot. The oth
er witnesses for the defense were
Messrs. W. M. Utley, Geo. F. Kenne
dy, R P. Finch, E. G. Horton, Frank
Bedford and O. W. Belvin. The tes
timony of all of these corroborated
that of Mr. Crocker almost in every
detail.
After the examination of the above
witnesses, Messrs. J. N. Holding, city
attorney, and Mr. J. C. L. Harris for
the defendant and Messrs. T. P. Dev
ereux and T. R. Purnell for the pros
ecution made speeches. After the
argument Justice Barbee adjourned
court until today at 12 o'clock. In the
meantime officer Hogue was placed
in custody, of the Sheriff until the
question of the legal nature of the
affair can be determined as relating
to bail.
-THE INVESTIGATION RESUMED.
At 12 o'clock today.the investigation
of the case was resumed at the court
house, it having deemed been proper
to remove it whither on account of
the heat. An immense crowd was in
attendance, consisting largely of col
o red persons. The prisoner, Officer
Hogue, appeared promptly in court,
and took his seat by the side of his
counsel, Messrs. J. N. Holding and J.
0. L. Harris. Justice Barbee said,
that as some matters stated in the
newspapers ' were not testified to in
court, he would hear additional evi
denoe if either party desired it. In
