WIMBERLY ON TRIAL
GEORGE
MILLS ITT
STAND-
ON THE
His Testimony was Sensational
and Damaging.
Today in the superior court the
trial of "Jack" Winiberly fr Lis life
egan. I is probably the most re
volting and disgusting trial that has
ever been heard in Wake county. It
is even more horrible than the Mills
case, the trial that was thought to be
i sensational aud heart-rending a
one as possible. Lung before 10
o'clock, the when that court opened,
the room was packed with a swaying,
curious crowd of people, drawn there
by that strange force, (call it morbid
curiosity if you like) that almost in
resistibly, brings the average man to
the court room when a fellow man
is passing through an ordeal of life
and death. Wiinberly was nervous,
very nervous. He spoke alternately
to Mr. Busbee and to Mr. Purnell; his
foot beat a. ceasless tattoo on
the flour; be bit his nails, his lips
twitched; his single eye rolled and
was watery. The witnesses were call
ed and the great trial began. F. H.
Busbee, Esq., a'dT. R. Purnell, Esq.,
represented Wiuiberly and solicitor
Pou the state.
George Mills, the loathsome vis-
ged murderer, who seems scarcely
human, was the first witness for the
tate. He said that his name was
Jeorge Madison Mills; that he was
guilty of the murder of his niece. He
xtated his testimony by sayiug that be
wanted to be given time to think. He
said that he killed Iana on Wednesday
night and that he bad a conversation
vith Wiuiberly on the Monday before.
He said Mills came in ''blowing and
puffing" and said his "gal was spiled;"
Mrs. Wiinberly was present. Wiin
berly said that bis daughter said that
George Mills and h-r two brothers
ruined her; the girls came to the bouse
from the cotton field and be asked
them if Iana Wiuiberly had accused
him of ruining her. This she deuied
aud said that the thing had been done
'right here in the family." Wiuiberly
then commenced abusing her and said
-that be would, if in her place kill him
self; that he would rather see her
dead and buried than to bring such
disgrace on the family.
Mills said he staid in Wimberly's
house Tuesday night. When he awoke
Wimberly was goner. When be re-
urned be told Mills that he had been
to Dr. Robinson's to get medicine to
produce an abortion, but that Dr.
Robinson would not let him have it.
Mrs. Wimberly was present at the
time. Wimberly said be had rather
see bis daughter buried than for the
scandal to come out. He then went
on to describe a conversation he bad
with Wimberly and his wife. Wim
berly said: "I am going to get rid of
this thinur or bury her." I want you
to help us burry this scandal, ''he said,
I won't do it." "You have got
to" said Wimberly, and his wife then
persuaded. him telling bow god they
had been to him. Jack Wimberly told
him to go to Mr. Burt Batchelor's for
laudanum. He finally told him to
take Iana to the Vaughn house and
there tell her that Julia Atwater
would come and perform an abortion.
He then told her that if be came back
leaving Iana alive a worse thing would
come on him.
He did not go to Batchelors's until
Wednesday morning as it rained Tues
day night. When Wiinberly came
bark from the doctor's be told bim
that he had put a stick in tho bouse
with which to kill Iana. He was told
by Wimberly to give Iana the lauda
num, put her to sleep and then kill
hir with the stick. When he returned
witb the laudanum Wimberly repeated
his directions as to where be was to
get the stick and how to kill the girl.
Wednesday night, after supper, he
said Wimberly sent the children out
of the house and told him to go out
and wait for Iana. "Don't bring her
back, alive." He went out and waited.
Iana came along and thfjjwent to the
Vaughn house. He -sat down in the
door and gave Iana the lauda
num to drink saying that Julia
would soon come. Shelrank the lan
dan urn and got sleepy. She went In,
saying that she was going to lay down
Ha went and threw the bottle of lau
dannm in tbe well and returned.
He found Iaua asUep. He tben
felt for the stick aud bit the girl on
tbe bead; she raised op and eaaght
hold of the stick; be jerked her over
to the door and struck
her several
more blows,
He waited around think'
ing she was dead, and weut back
about 11 o'clock. When he reached
Wimberly's house he told tbe whole
family be bad killed Iana. Wiralwrly
said, "Now, what shall we do?" He
searched Mills for blood marks and
made bis daughter wash off tbe blood
stains.
They all then commenced talking
over plans to get Mills out of the mur
der. They then said that tbey must
tell that be and Iana started to John
Jinks' after a leopard plant and that,
gcing to the Vaughan house, some
one inside bad killed ber. They then
Bent the boys off to get the neigbWs.
The next day Wimberly said, "George
is not guilty." When Iana was brougt
to the house Wimberly said to him,
"She is not dead, why dWn't you kill
her as I told you?"
Wimberly at no time after the as
sault; said that his daughter was in a
delicate condition.
This concended the direct testimony .
Mills told a remarkably straight tale.
On cross examination the witness ad
mitted that Wimberly testified as to
the peculiar arrangement of tacks in
his shoes at the first magistrate's trial.
He said that he and Jack Wimberly
both swore to lies. He admitted that
he had told another false story to
deputy sheriff Walters when the latter
had taken him from jail to prevent
lynching Right here the witness un
dertook to address the jury. He told
Walters that Julian A twater killed
the girl, lie said that he had told n
true story before the grand jury. He
said that Wimberly left bis concocted
prime and he did also. In answer to
a question he said that he first heard
of lana's condition frcm Savannah, at
the SDrinc. where she was washing. It
.vas on Monday when Wimberly spoke
f it. When Iana came to the house
he asked Iana if she accused him of
ruining her; she deemed it and Wim
berly called her a lie three times and
cursed her. He admitted that be
told Batchelor that he was not goiog
back to Wimberly's but was going to
his own house. He said that Jack
Wimberly told bim to say he waB not
going back to his house.
UNDER THE MOTOR.
Milly
Richardson, Colored,
Killed By a Car.
This morning the firstfatal accident
that has occurred on the Raleigh street
car line took place. Such accidents
are almost unavoidable and it is of
redit to the company that one has
not-occurred before now.
The accident today happened on
the corner of Hillsboro aad Harring
ton streets. The victim was Milly
Richardson, an old negro woman 75
years old. Soon after the cars begun
running motorman Lash Jones, who
was running a car coming down Hills
boro street saw some yards in front of
him an old colored woman walking
slowly towards the track. He rang
his gong but tbe old woman still walk
ed on. When he was probably in 10
feet of her, the old woman to bis hor
ror, stepped directly on the track.
The motorman shouted out, rang his
gong and reversed the motor. The
old woman simply turned curiously
and faced tbe car; the next instance it
was upon ber. She was struck, knock
ed down and caught under the motor
beneath the car. For 18 feet prob
ably she was dragged and when she
was extricated she was dead.
Tbe old woman, who formerly be
longed to Mr. Albert Johnson was on
her way there this morning to assist
the cook in getting breakfast. She was
on account of her very old age, al
most entirely deaf and nearly blind.
An eyewitness of the accident says
that the motorman or conductor. Mr.
Strauifhan, who was running, could
not possibly be to blame, as he heard
the motorman call out to her and saw
him reverse his car.
The accident, while it is to be( de
plored, was simply one of those un
fortunate occurrences which it is im
possible to prevent. The Raleigh
street oar officials are the most careful
in the eountry. The remarkable im
munity from accidents whioh has pre
vailed in the past speaks volumes for
their watchful efficiency.

Mills, the murderer, if he wished the
supreme court to consider him an
idiot, showed very poor judgment in
informing on and testifying agaius'
wimberly, his alleged partner in
crime. His testimony today showed
that be is anything but an idiot.

PERRYG(JILTY
Of Murder In the Second Degree,
This morning the jury in the Perry
murder case brought in their verdict
"Guilty of murder in the second de
gree," said foremen Jenkins, aud th
Perry trial was over. The verdict
a popular one, not many people think
ing that Perry should hang. - He has
not yet been sentenced as the Wimber
ly trial was then on the" docket.
The penalty will, in all probability,
be about 30 years imprisonment in tbe
penitentiary.
As the the jury came in Perry look
ed at them steadily and when tbe ver
dict was announced a look of relief
passed over his face. Perry can con
gratulate himself on escaping tbe
gallows. The testimony brought out
was very damaging. Mr. Purnell, bis
counsel, has been much complimented
for the aLle manner in which he con
ducted his difense. ,
