THE PRELIMINARY TRIAL
OP GEORGE MILLS FOR THE
MURDER OF HIS NEICE.
He is Bound Over to Court -A
Pitiful Scene In the
Court Room.
George Mills, charged with themur-
dvi of his niece, Miss Iana Wimberly,
near Apex, was giveu a preliminary
hearing before justice Roberts this
morning at 11 o'clock and bound over
to conrt without th i privilege of bail.
Mr. and Mrs. Wimberly, the parents
of the murdered girl, and her two
brothers and her sister were all pres
ent in the court room. .
.When the case was ealled and Mills
was brought into court, Mrs. Wimber
ly, as soon as she caught sight
of him, became wildly hysterical and
it was found necessary to remove her
from the room. As she was carried
out her frantic cries and lamentations
filled the conrt room.
Herbert N orris, Ksq., of Apex, and
Col. T. M. Argo represented Mills and
put in the plea "not guilty" for him.
The first witness was Jack Wimber
ly, the father of the victim. His tes
timony embraced the departure of his
daughter from home with George
Mills, on the afternoon of the day the
murder took place and Mills' arrival
at his home between 1 and 2 o'clock
in the morning bringing the news of
the assault ou Miss Wimberly. He
told the account which iGeorge
Mills gave of the murder, just as it
has previously been stated in the Vis
itor, and of the organization of a
party to go iu search of her body. He
also testified that Mills' tracks were in
the old house in which the murder
was committed, stating that he knew
they were his tracks by the peculiar
manner in which the tacks in the heel
of the shoe were arranged. This
statement was strengthened by -Wim
berly testifying that he himself had
put in the tacks.
On cross examination Col. Argo took
the witness in hand and by close
questioning made him admit that his
daughter, at the time of the assault
upon her, was in an extremely deli
cate condition, and that he had seen a
doctor about the case, but on his re
fusal to act had stated that he would
rather follow his daughter to her
grave than have her bring disgrace
upon his family.
On cross examination Wimberly said
that the reason he waited so long be
fore going to his daughter's assistance
was because he was afraid to go be
fore getting together a party.
The second witness was J. E. Coun
cil, who lives near Apex and went with
the party to the old Vaughn house,
where Miss Wimberly was found.
The most important part of his testi
mony was an account of a conversation
with Mills about the murder in which
Mills tried to explain the blood on his
clothes and said that he feared that
people would accuse him of the mur
der.
On cross examination by Col. Argo
the witness testified that in one part
of the old house there was what seem
ed to be a pillow or head rest made of
grass and vines which had evidently
been used as a sleeping place by some
one. This gives some . color to the
story of Mills. This witness
also identified the dogwood cudgel
which is supposed to -have been the
weapon with which Miss Wimberly
was killed. 1 -
. Severafmora witnesses were exam
ined, and called by the state, the most
important of whom was Dr. Cotten, of
Morrisville, who attended the mur
dered girl and made the post mortem
examination. His testimony was of
the greatest importance.
The trousers which Mills had on
the day of the murder were exhibited
in court and identified by witnesses,
At the close of the testimony justice
Roberts bound Mills over to the .Sep
tember term of court, without the
privilege of bail. The witnesses were
all bound over in the sum or $du, eacn
The trial on the whole, waa highly
sensational in its character and it is
aid that other parties are soon to' be
arrested, charged with complicity in
the crime.

Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley

tion now being heard at Greensboro
before judge Simonton, circuit judge
of the United States, for the removal
of John Gill, of Baltimore, who was
appointed receiver of the C. F. & V
V. in February last. Unfitness, in
competency and extravagance of man
agement are alleged and especially
that while president of the trustees of
the second mortgage of the company,
and therefore owing a duty to the

he accepted the receivership at the in
stance and in the interest of the first
mortgage bondholders and is seeking
to promote their interest to the detri
ment of the second mortgage bond
holders. -

Of maple boughs so green,

The Reason why Cooke Should
Not he Nominat ed.
Coorespondence: . In our excellent
norning journal the above title heads
n article that is particularly evasive,
ut has much relish just the same,
although he who "writ it" is only Bear
Creek.
Chatham the county of populismis
ical theories (D. V.) has a perfect
ight to advocate Cooke for somebody
to beat as she (the county) has a right
to take all she can get in shape of
orfice and make no returns; but us
people who do 'sometimes sulk prefer
ttf take ourn straight. Play pig and
pup is played out. We hardly want
a man for congress who has stood like
a stonewall these many years with in
cidental integrity of the sterling kind
attached. Seeking an orlice, even
though he be the Dennis Kearney of
the legal profession, the third portion
may well feel pleased at the prospect
of a composite fan tan candidate for
congress, but we want something
straight on some subject and so say
all the settlement of Beaver Da in.
