A- homicide was -committed nar Goshen Saturday night, Jim Walls was killed by Allen Daws. The ' killing occurred at Sam Laws' house. " 1 Walls,, Laws, Will' Howell and Jeff Russell were drinking and were at- Sam- Laws' and were taking supper. - .Laws stabbed Walls in the thigh cut ting the artery, causing death in a half hour, ; Laws is now irTjail and the trial- will probable' come- up next week. . There are conflicting reports concerning the homicide, Laws claiming that Walls and'How- ell were on him. beating: him when he stabbed him. But ine eviaence oerore tne coro-- nor's jury shows differently. According .to - this testimony, they were about the table, no angry word had- been passed, when- Laws stabbed Walls, withont provocation. He also- attacked Howell with his knife cutting Ho well's cloths on the arm and leg. Howell knoeked him down and took his knife from him Walls lived at Boomer, was about 40 years old, and leaves a wife end several children. Laws is about 50 years old and has a wife and five or six children. It appears to be a corn liquor case. Court is going right along, with Judge Shaw presiding andW. W. Barber acting as Solicitor.. The Judge delivered a very comprehensive charge one of best we ever heard. He paid special attention, to-such mat ttrs as perjury,, whieh-he says is the most serious, dangerous and most common crime, good roads, (the civilization of the country), retailing,, drunken? ness, etc. If the precepts of his charge were fully followed we'd almost be in . the midst, of the millenium.
