Alleged Slayer* of Harter Not Tried at
thi* Term of Court.
Hampton, Oct. 30.—The fall term of
court of general sessions convened
here Monday morning, October 27, with
Judge George W. Gage presiding.
The case that has attracted most at
tention, generally, at the present term
is that of J. F. Walker and Ben Walker,
charged with the murder of J. B. Har
ter, chief of police of Ailendale, at
Lena, on Sunday afternoon, August 31.
Very soon after a true bill was returned,
counsel for the defendants made a mo
tion for a continuance of the case,
which motion was overruled, and the
case set for trial Thursday morning.
On Thursday morning again counsel
made a motion for a continuance upon
the grounds that a very material wit- |
ness was absent, and could not he had i
at this term, and because defendants j
could not get a fair and impartial trial ,
at this term of court on account of the
fact that public sentiment is unduly
strong against them by reason of news
papers having published the State's
side of the case and not the defendants’
The court overruled this motion. Then
cyunsel moved to quash the jury venire,
which motion, after hearing n ad aq
affidavit of George Warren and an e\
ammation of the clerk of court by Mr
Gunter, grant'-d by the court

President Wilson Sends Ultima turn to
Mexican Capital.
Mexico City, Nov. 3.—President Hu
erta has been told he must resign the
presidency of Mexico without loss of
time and that he must not leave as his
successor Gen. Aureliano Blanqdet, his
minister of war, or any other member
of his official family or of the unofficial
coterie whom he might be expected to
control. This ultimatum from Wash
ington was conveyed to President Hu
erta through his private secretary, Sen-
or Rabago, by Nelson O'Shaughnessy,
the American charge d’ affaires, acting
under instructions from the state de
partment.
Senor Rabago late Sunday presented
the meomrandum to his chief but up to
this evening President Huerta had re
turned no answer, and as far as could
be learned had guarded its contents
from almost all his official and intimate
counsellors.
Muat Ckooaw Couraw.
Those who learned of the Washington
note regard Gen. Huerta’s position as
one in which he would be forced togire
one or two answers—point blank re
fusal to comply with the demand, pos
sibly going so far ss to hand the diplo
matic representative his passports, or
the official elimination of himself.
Those most Intimate with the presi-
I drnt inaiat that the latter course will
not hv* taken for many reasons, chief
among which is that such action would
Im- tantamount to tubmipion to the re-
bri* i iff i< ulI Mexico no longer tain
doubt that the Washington administra
tion favor* the conatituttonaiist cat
and it convinced that this is the
adopted by lYrwftdent Wuaon sad
