(iOVAX LAST RECKMRKR.
All the Testimony Taken in the
Case?Jury Finds Him Guilty of
Manslaughter ?(hit Only About
Forty Minutes.
The general sessions court for this
county convened last Monday morning.
Judge Gary presiding, and all the officers
of the court at their posts. The judge
delivered a tine charge to the grand jury,
and they at once entered upon the discharge
of their duties. They were given
some bills and retired to their room.
The lirst case called was that of Dan T.
Gunnels, for the killing of Willie Grimes,
in which a true bill had been rendered at
the last term of court. The defense an
( nounced that they were not ready for
trial, but hoped to he prepared Tuesday
I morning. The ease was then set for
J Tuesdaj'.
Then the solicitor announced that the
ease of the State against W. K. Johnson
for the killing of Wm.T. Bellinger would
be postponed until the December term of
court?that he would not give the bill of
indictment to the grand jury at this term.
Col. Robert Aldrich, for the defense, opposed
a postponement and asked for a
trial, on account of the embarrassing position
in which his client is now placed.
The judge, however, ruled that the State
could not be forced, as the defendant was
out on bail, and the case went over till
December.
The grand jury then brought in a true
bill against Win. Irons, charged with
adultery, and it was discharged till Tuesf
day morning.
Then the case against Irons was tried,
j He was found guilty, and sentenced to
| pay a tine of f UK) or serve six months on
I the chain gang.
Court then adjourned till Tuesday
f morning.
I The grand jury finished their work
Monday, and soon after court convened

I for. ,
The county offices we found to be in
fair condition.
At the last term of the court an expert

foreman were appointed to make a thorough
examination of the books and accouuts'in
the several offices, and to report
their findings to the grand jury, to be
embodied in their presentment at this
term of court, but finding that more time
was necessary to make this examination
thorough, the matter was deferred to the
; next term of the court.
We report that the roads in the county
are kept in fair condition under the pres!
ent management.
In conclusion, we express our thanks to

Jno. W. Okum, Foreman,
the gunxels case.
The Gunnels case was then called, and
the work of empannelliug a jury was begun.
Each juror was put on his voir
dire, and there were several who were
objected to by the defense and the prosecution.
The panel was exhausted, and
twelve more jurors drawn. The case finally
proceeded with the following twelve
men in the 1k>x, who were charged with
the life of Dan T. Gunnels, charged with
the murder of WillieG. Grimes: S. W.
Johnson, foreman; S. W. Sandifer, Fred
Summers, R. E. Steedley, Daniel Rartzog,
L. A. Bikle, B. W. Gates, J. J. Goodwin,
D. F. Hooton,Jno. F. Folk, E.G. Havs,
W. W. Patrick.
Dr. N. F. Kirk land was the first witness,
and testified as to the nature of the
wounds on deceased, which was practically
the same testimony he gave at the
coroner's inquest. That the skull was
broken in one place, and that either one
of three wounds on the head would have
produced death.
J. H. Lancaster testified that he saw deceased
when he came to town on horseback.
He asked Grimes to let him try
bis horse, and Grimes did so; he rode
t \ 1_ 1
about twenty steps, ana came oacs. ami
told Grimes that he thought he was
drunk; that he had one stirrup about
eighteen inches longer than the other.
Grimes asked him to take a drink, but he
declined, and Grimes told him he was a
d? fool, and about that time Gunnels arrested
him and pushed him on the ground,
and hit him with the club very lightly
about four times, not enough to hurt him.
Grimes asked Gunnels what he hit him
with that stick for, and took out his knife
and whittled a stick. Gunnels said he
didn't strike him with a stick, and if he
did he did it only in the scuttle. He then
rode up in Rogers' lot, but came out in a
minute, and Gunnels took the horse by
the bridle aud led it about fifty yards, ana
Gunnels all at once struck iiiin on the
head with a stick, and knocked him off
the horse. When he fell to the ground
he struck him 0 or 8 times, aud then
turned and walked off, but came back
quickly and hit him 5 or 0 times more.
He met Gunnels and asked him w hat in
the world he meant, and he said that deceased
had threatened his life. Deceased
| was lying on his back when he got to
him, and was bloody. He attempted to
turn him on his side, as he seemed to be
strangling, but he turned over on his back
again. He and Lain carried him into
Hartzog's store. He searched him, and
found a pocket kuife and two little sticks
and 80 cents in money. The knife was
closed. His face was badly cut and
bruised. On cross-examination he stated
he was about 150 yards away; could not
hear what was said.
C. C. Fishburnetestified he saw Grimes
when he came out of Rodgers's lot; that
Gunnels told a colored boy to take and
lead the horse off, as it had stopped, but
the boy did not, aud Gunnels started to
lead it off. Grimes took a bottle of whiskey
out and handed it to him, and he
(Gunnels) shook it and handed it back.
He was about 50 yards away. Gunnels
hit him as he was falling, and hit him
when he was on the ground a number of
times. He then walked off about 10
steps. Grimes tried to raise his head,
and Gunnels turned around, came back
OrisKiy, ami mi nun again i??i ? uiiu->.
Goran Kennedy testified that he saw
Grimes no into ltodgers' irate and come
out in a minute or two, and the horse was
going towards the north, and Gunnels
led his horse off, ami turned around to
talk, and I heard someone scream, turned
and saw Gunnels standing over him, hitting
him with the cluh. Grimes was on
the ground, and he hit him 4 or 5 times,
walked off ahout 20 steps, came back fast j
and hit him 4 or 5 times more. Did not'
see Grimes doing anything; was simply I
lying on his back. When he got to
where he lay he saw a whiskey t>ottle on
the ground, but that is all he saw.
\\. A. Hays, Jr., testified lie was in
front of his father's store; saw Grimes go
in the gate, come out ami go in the direction
of Kennedy's. He didn't guide
the horse. Gunnels asked a little colored
bov to lead his horse, and the boy said he
didn't care to bother with it. Gunnels
led the horse off al?out 20 steps. Grimes
gave him a bottle of whiskey, and he
shook it and gave it back, and then Gunnels
knocked him in the head, knocking
him off his horse, and hit him 5 or 6 times
while he was on the ground. He walked
off in my direction 10 or 15 steps, and
Grimes slightly raised his head and shoulders,
anil Gunnels walked back and hit
him 4 or 5 times. He was about 00 yards
1 from them. Grimes was struggling for
breath when he got there.
J. A. Lain testified the first he knew of
the actual difficulty he heard screaming,
and rail up the street and saw Gunnels
strike Grimes 4 or 5 times and walk off;
he met him and asked him what he did it
for, and Gunnels said Grimes told him he
was going to kil! him, and that his life
was as sweet to him as Grimes's was to
him.
Walter Jeter testified that he saw (Tunnels
hit Grimes two licks and he fell, and
Gunnels struck him several licks and
walked off and then came back and
struck him two licks more and I then
turned my back and walked off. Was
about 40 yards from them. Did not see
anything in Grimes's hand when he was
on the horse or on the ground.
L. J. Hartzog testilied that he was
about 2(X> yards away at the blacksmith
shop; the first he saw Grimes was on the
ground and did not differ from the others
as to the number of blows struck. He
got some cloth to put under his face to
keep the sand off his face, and afterwards
took him in his store. He was
I iiri^unt ulii'ii rimes was searched: he
I l"?-?
had only a knife widt h was closed, two
little sticks and three HI cent pieces.
A. A. Johnson testitied he saw them
together on the street and thought Gunnels
was arresting Grimes; some one
asked him to turn him loose; he thought
he could get him off. Mr. Fields asked
Gunnels to turn him loose and he did so
and they came hack and were talking;
Grimes asked Gunnels didn't he strike
him with the stick; Gunnels said 110, hut
Grimes said he did, and they talked
awhile and then Grimes got on his horse
and went up the street, and when I saw
them next Grimes was on the ground;
Gunnels was over him; struck him f> or l?
times. Gunnels walked off and came
back and struck him 4 or 5 blows.
-A. J. Fail testitied that Grimes was in
front of his shop, had a bottle of whiskey
and said, "less have a drink" and cursed 1
j some; Gunnels told him he must put up
his w hiskey and keep quiet, that he was
marshal, and Grimes said he didn't give
a damn for the marshal; then Gunnels
arrested him; they got in a tussle and fell
down; my little bov who was there was
crying and I carried him in; when I went
back they had turned him loose and they
were all in front of my shop, Grimes hail
his knife in his hand whittling a stick;
he went in my yard and called me and
said he wanted a drink and I said take a
drink and go home; Mr. Kennedy asked
him to go to his house until he got all
right. The next I saw Grimes was on
flip around and Gunnels hit him several |
times.
K. F. Weeks testified to most of the
facts as stated by the other witnesses, and '
stated that he'and Mr. Lancaster met
Gunnels and Lancaster and asked him
why he did it, he said he told him he was
going to come back next day and kill i
him and he believed he was going to do ;
it^&ud that he killed him in self-defence ]
and was his only chance. He did all he i
could to avoid hitting him; he had led his
horse off; told him he was going home. <
get his brother, come back and kill him; :
said he believed Grimes was going to do <
it, and he killed him in self-defence. I
J. I). Templetou testified that he was <
about 250 yards from them; saw Gunnels <
strike- Grimes; knocked him from his i
horse; he hit him 8 or 10 licks, walked off
about ten steps and came back and struck 1
him again about 4 times. i
Eugene Eaves testified that he saw
Grimes on his horse; seemed to be drunk; <
his attention was called to the store, but '
he heard screaming and looked up and i
saw Grimes falling to the ground; Gun- i
nels hit lnm with a stick 7 times and
went off and turned back and hit him
several times more; Gunnels come to his
store and asked him if he was scared, he
said no, that he had not bothered any- j
one. I heard Gunnels say to some two J
or three in front of Mr. Lain's store that j
some of the boys around there would
have to be killed before they could keep ]
order in town. !
J. S. Fields testified that he was intendant;
was in his store; heard cursing; j
went to where Gunnels had arrested
Grimes; told Gunnels to release him,
which he did; we all went back up street; 1
Grimes had a large knife in one hand, a !
small chip in the other, didn't make any
threat or attempt to cut anybody, but
seemed like he wanted to get behind I
Gunnels, who secerned to notice it, be- '
cause he kept his face to Grimes all the j
time. Afterwards heard screaming;
looked up street; saw Grimes on the
ground and Gunnels walking towards
me; met him and asked him why he hit
Grimes; he said Grimes had tried to kill j
him, and he wanted to save himself, j
Grimes had been arrested once there be- .
fore; when sober Grimes' reputation was ;
good, when drinking he was rough and ]
rowdy; had known Gunnels for 30 years; <
he and the community at large thought ]
very highly of him. Had known of <
Grimes being in two difficulties before; {
never heard of his carrying a pistol.. :
Harry Johnson said Grimes passed him (
on the road; told him to come on, he was j
going to raise hell at Govan. Grimes
got to town ahead of me; when I got
there Gunnels was leading his horse off;
Grimes put one hand on the horse's
mane, the other on his hip pocket; Gun- ?
nels struck him 2 licks before he fell off; *
he then hit him a lick and walked off; t
Grimes raised to bis knees, his hand on {
his hip pocket; when Gunnels saw that 1
he came back and hit him 8 or 3 licks.
J. R. Sellers met Grimes ou the road, '
he gave us a drink, opening the bottle 1
with his knife; said he was going to *
Govan and raise hell; called attention to
the knife and said if Dan Gunnels inter- J
fered With him he was going to kill him; 1
Gunnels is his mother's brother; did not
tell Gunnels about the threat.
Jesse Wilkinson testified that he was
in the buggy with Sellers when they met
Grimes; he corroborated Sellers in every .
particular; Gunnels is his third cousin. 1
James Laird met Grimes in Olar about
12 o'clock; Grimes wanted him to go to
Govan with him; was going to raise hell, <
and if Dan Gunnels bothered him he in- j
tended to kill him. i
W. H. Connelly testified that he saw
Grimes in Olar that day; heard him tell
Fred Gunnels he was going to raise hell
in Govan; Grimes was drunk; Gunnels 1
wanted to take care of him till he was 1
all right; Grimes wouldn't do it; Grimes'
reputation was bad when drinking. He *
had been marshal ai Olar; never had any
trouble with Grimes, although he came
there several times drinking; saw him <
several times with a pistol; the people ]
seemed to regard Grimes as dangerous, <
as he had l>een warned al>out him while .
marshal; don't know whether he usually
carried a pistol or not.
O. J. C. Lain had been marshal at
Govan; had seen Grimes draw a pistol on :
a man while drinking; this was in 1897; !
was rowdy and fussy when drinking.
\V. II. Owens testified he was marshal '
at Govan in 1898; when Grimes came in
drunk he was fussy; when he came in
sober he was all right; he came to my
house once and said if I or any other
man ever put him in the guard house he
would kill whoever did it; did not remember
repeating this to Gunnels. . ,
W. H. Laird met Grimes in Olar that
day; Grimes said was going to raise the
devil in Govan; he had been taking in
Govan every Christmas, and was going
there that day, and if Gunnels bothered
him he would* stick a knife in him; I did
not tell this to Gunnels.
I). H. Rice and Dr. N. F. Kirkland testified
that Gunnels' reputation was good.
P. A. Carroll testified that Gunnels'
reputation was good; that Grimes had a
i ? l ?u-l.uii Orinlriiitr hilt Imd
nan nmu
never heard of him using any weapous.
W. B. Chitty stated that Gunnels bore
a good reputation; Grimes was thought
meddlesome when drinking, but did not
know of him harming anyone. 0. F.
Hi/.er and I*. H. Starr said Gunnels had
a good reputation. 0. B. Lain said
Grimes had a bad reputation; had not
heard of his hurting anybody. Mr. Free
had known Gunnels since he was a boy;
his reputation was good; Grimes' reputation
was good except when drinking,
then he was fussy and rowdy; had seen
him have a pistol in the street several
times; Grimes had tried to have a difficulty
with him one time.
Daniel T. Gunnels, the defendant, testified
that Grimes came to Govan between
2 and 8 o'clock; was on his horse; came
to where Lancaster, Fail and I were on
the street; asked us to drink; told him to
put up the whiskey and stop cursing so
loud, as I was marshal. He said, "God
damn the marshalI arrested him; he
started off with me; we got about 20
steps; lis stopped, ;tiul told me to turn
him loose; pulled out a knife; I told him
not to cut me, and pushed him off with
the stick 3 or 4 times; Fields said turn
him loose; I did so; 1 eame back to shop
and leaned against a wagon ; Grimescame
up and said: "Didn't you hit me with
the club? 1 said, "No, just pushed you
back." lie pulled out his knife and
whittled a little stick; he said: "Goddamn
you, you had better getaway from here."
1 thought he was going to cut me. and
walked off; he got on his horse and went
up the street; shortly afterwards I went
up also; I saw him go into the lot and
come out; I asked a negro boy to lead the
horse off; he said he was afraid; I took
hold of the horse ami went about 3ft steps
in direction of his home; he pulled out a
tiask of whiskey; asked me to drink; 1
said I was on duty; he said: "God damn
you, you've got to;" the bottle fell down;
1 picked it up and gave it to him; he said:
"You think you're going to live till alter
Christinas." I said 1 hoped so. He said
he didn't think I would; "you arrested me
awhile ago, and I'm going to kill you for
it." 1 looked up and saw him throw his
hand to his hip pocket; I hit him, and he
fell off the horse; he raised up and said:
"God damn you, I'll get you yet;" I went
back and hit him again ; don't remember
hitting him over three or four times; I
was excited; I was on the left side of the
horse, and couldn't grab his hand; knyw
if he ever got the pistol he would shoot
me; heard him say to my brother one
night, just after he had a light with Matthews,
that he was going to carry a pistol
after that; I felt sure he had a pistol in his
pocket when I struck him; when I looked
back I saw his hand at his hip pocket; at
the time I struck him I saw no knife or
pistol; did not search him when I arrested
him the first time; it was not customary;
did not hit him anymore just after I
knocked him oil' the horse; didn't hit him
again until he raised up, and I went back;
that is, as well as I remember.
A. M. Eaves, Geo. Hanberry, S. S. Ray,
R. L. Hightower and II. K. Faust all testified
that Grimes bore a good reputation,
although some of them had heard of his
being rowdy when drinking.

retired, and after being out about forty
minutes returned a verdict of manslaughter,
with a recommendation to
mercy. The trial had taken all day, and
