The attendance at court has been very large and the crowd, to take it as a whole, has been very orderly: liut little whiskey has been drunk.

It covered all Uie duties of the Jury, and was very instructive to our people. IJ. A. D.i vis, of Solo, as in town. this week trcsh from tne Atlanta imposition.

There has been some excitement over the matter, but is thought to be A dozen or more drunken men rode the streets last, night and swoie if Eller was convicted of minder in the first degree, they, would rescue him. A strong guard has been stationed at the jail since he was brought from Winston eaily last week.

The evidence against Eller was circumstantial but of such a nature no fair-minded juror 'would be at a loss to give a verdict as was given. Calvin Eller and ltov La tham both lived near Clifton post office, about a mile fionr each Roy was 18, tlie son of the late Sheriff La tham, and lived with his step fa her, Joseph Dougherty. Roy bad loaned Carl Est ridge a pistol, and Eller got the pistol-; Estridge, falsly claiming that Latham had told him to. -Latham sent Esti -idge to, Eller for the pistol.

The body was more closely exam ined and on being dragged from the river was recogniz ed as Roy Latham.

Eller had gone home night before after and began work nex.tday, buton hearing of the excitement left home without going to the river. Suspicion rested on Eller, and men went in searrh for hi in. Deputy Shff. Stikes overtook him on Helton, a-bout eleven miles from home- Near the spot where the spot where the body vv a found was a large club with blood and hair on it.
