Sandy Miller, the father of Laura
Miller, the colored girl who was mur-
J II. r. , .
uerea last aaturaay morning, was in
the city today and went before Esquire
v. s. ruts ana swore out a warrant
for Riy Meismore, a white boy about
15 years of age, charging him with the
killing of Laura. The warrant gives
the names of seven witnesses to be
summonsed and the trial is set for 2
o'clock tomorrow afternoon.
i ne young Meismore boy was
brought to Concord last Saturday night
by the coroner. There was consider
able feeling against him in the com
munity among the negroes and the lad
was brought to the city to be kept
away from the scene of the excitement.
The lad has a good face and would
never be taken for a boy of criminal
leanings. He attends school in the
neighborhood and was sawing wood
in the yard at his home most of the
day on Saturday. It is not known
how much evidence there will be
brought out at the trial, but it was not
thought on Saturday that there was
anything to connect the boy with the
crime.
The boy on Saturday night was
cnlm and composed and did not seem
to fear a thing in connection with the
serious charge which at that time
might be made against him. From
talk one can hear the general public is
not much given to associate this boy
with the crime.
