Kinston, N. C Sept, 9th The pre.
li ninary examination of W. D. Wright
arrested on the charge of implication in'
the lynching of the negro Moore at New
Bern, August 27th, waa heard here by
Judge E. B. Jones, last nights. The
trial had beeaappomted. for Saturday
morning at 9 o'clock but by consent of
Wright and tha State and for the' con
venience the case waa taken up Friday
night. The witnesses were examined
and the Judge reserved judgment . until
Saturday morning. . . , .
Wright claims Richmond as his home,
and has been doing some work in New
Bern as a mill wright and went to Kin-
ston Tuesday morning after the lynch
ing. Arriving at Kins ton, f he immedi
ately tanked up and went to talking
through his hat, - maybe, .but ' thereby
bangs tale. -
, .Wright waa arrested upon the affida
vita of several persona witta whom he
Conversed in Kinston, one, the chief of
police. ; - , fc ;
A bench warrant was issued' and the
case waa called: to Snow Hilt where
Judge E. B. Jonei waa. holding court
Wright denied ever making any state
ment about the occurrence, saying, if
he did, he -did sot remember it, and the
case was continued until Saturday,
which waa changed to Friday night,: as
heretofore stated, the Judge acting as
a -trial magistrate. , , -- (
.The firet witness put upon the stand
waa Mr. J. .W. Biddle, sheriff of Craven
county, whose testimony as taken by
the court follows: . ", ? ' ,
, Sheriff Biddle, being sworn said:
Am sheriff of Craven county, .' I had
committed' to my custody one' John
Moore' in Craven county, Next day
(Aug. 26th) a trial of Moor was held
before Justice W. R. Barrington in the
court house at -New; Bern, -1 At 'trial
Moore was committed to jail b default
of bail .Sunday morning about. 10
o'clock, Moore was taken from jail by a
mob and carried to Neuse river bridge
and shot and hanged. : I was near the
jail on sidewalk going towards' jail and
was stopped by. three men who pre
sented pistols stopping me, I -waa Pen
about forty-five feet from jafl. I did
not know any one of the men who he'd
me up. -They had .handkerchiefs tied
across their faces. I naked them what
they were doingT Tbey made no reply
I said "men yon have eome here to
lynch that negro, you ought to be
ashamed -of yourselves, - that woman
will not die. They asked me for keys.
I told them I had no keys. 1 I then
handed them the court house keya.
They said they did not want' them and
handed them back. ' Then someone
said Williams, the jailer,' had the keys.
They pressed on him and he threw up
his hands. I started - towards him and
then men pointed pistols at my breast.
I said, take pistols from tny bit aat
Kan said, he would not kill me, thought
too much of me. Crowd ruahed in iaiL
then came out with negro. The mayor
got the body back. Dr. Jones, the
coroner, said 14 or 15 shots wet fired
into the body. The men that held me
up, I never saw before, forty or fifty
men in crowd.
The following evidence furnished by
chief of police J. M. Howland, who on
cross examination said that the man
Wright was very drunk, is given aa
taken down by the court;
He had known Wright since Toea-
day night Week. Wright met him on
street about 11 o'clock at nlghtSuid he
waa from the "red light district Said
he had come from New Bern a few
n?hta ago, showed piece of rope and
said that did the work (rofirring to

and said to his honor that the State had
failed completely to show anything to
connect the respondent with the lynch
ing. That everything in evidence sim

testimony to prove an alibi, "v. . -

Directors Accept Propoiltlea From Hew
. Ciatracter to Take apthe Railroad Work
At a meeting of the directors of the
Pamlico, Oriental, and Western Rail
road Company; held in this city, yester
day, a proposition was presented to
them by ColJ WJ B. Rodman, represent
ing the - Virginia and Carolina Coast
Railroad Company, which after due de
liberation was"; accepted by the direc
tors of the P. 0, & W.
The proposition briefly stated is, that
the Virginia and Carolina Coast people
will take off the hands of the present
contractor of the P. 0. & W., Mr.
Jvmea A Bryan, all existing work and
contract in force or pending forth
completion of the road already built,
and to construct the proposed exten
sions to Oriental and -Goose Creek Is
land.
. The directors felt that while the road
was prospering and going ahead under
thtf present contractor, Mr Bryan, yet
that tK.inu..:.U Vv. . .-
tion through Col. Rodman, was one
which would more quickly Construct the
road, ' as it is a company of railroad
people, possessing ample means, and
prepared to push to completion at once
both tha main line and extensions of
the r v W, and this means many ad
vantages to the people and section
through which the .road is to be built.
and also will bring more business to
this city. -
; The vote to accept, was : unanimous
on the part of the director who felt
convinced that their action means many
advantages, and is for the best interest
of those who are in any way connected
with this railroad property
