Calvi Craps and Lav/sou Mills, of near Gi] bert, came along in a two-liorse wa? on, anJ Sheriff Corley, the newspaps man and Lever got aboard, and cam on to Lexington. Lever was calm and had but littl to say. He stated that a negr "root" doctor by the name of Ler Judge was the cause of it all; that h owed Judge some money and th doctor told him if he didn't pay hin he would cause him (Lever) to com mit an assault upon a white woman. At the trial this morning four wit nesses were sworn for the State?th pretty victim, her husband, and R W. M. Eleazer and Constable L. L Roof. The womar. testified as to th attack.
