The negroes were arrested two I weeks ago, charged with having been I implicated ?in Mr. Lee's disappear-1 ?ce and it was presumed that they I mid be arraigned on a charge of I murder. However, following the ha-1 bcus corpuB proceedings brought by I the Qrm of Green & Ear le, attorneys! for the defendants. Judge Wilson said! yesterday momir.;; that he co?!d ?"f?r no reason why the negroes should bel hole, since there was no evidence to | connect them with th? cbbo. and ro marked that if they were later wanted | the sheriff could get them. It scorns that the negroes have been htld on very insufficient evi dence, according to general opinion. The only "?ossible way In which any Suspicion could appoint to them was the fact that Mr. Lee was said to have been seen about one mile where the negroes live $n? buggy tracks and spots of blood were found in the, neighborhood.
