When the court reconvened at 3
o’clock Wednesday afternoon it took
up the case of the State vs. McCombs
and Murray, charged with the mur
der of Smith Inman, all white, in the
’ower part of the county about two
months ago. It being the most impor

tracted the largest attendance and
evinced the most interest of any case
yet tried. Solicitor Henry and Mr.
V. E. DePass, of the Union bar, ap
peared for the State, and Butler &
Osborne for the defense. The court
was occupied on this case all the
afternoon and little progress was
made, only witnesses being examined.

at the usual hour and resumed the
taking of testimony in the McCombs

for dinner.
After dinner the argument in the
case was begun by Mr. DePass for
the State, who was followed by Mr.
Osborne and Mr. Butler for the de
fense. Mr. Henry closed for the
State. Judge Gage, then in a clear
and concise manner, charged the
jury fully, explaining the different
phases of homicide and the law bear
ing on each one of them. Then the
case was given to to the jury, which
retired to its room. A verdict of man
slaughter was rendered as to Mc
