Son of Alleged Slayer of John Gore Held as Accomplice. The coroner’s jury by its verdict implicated Logan Mize, the son of Munro Mize, in the killing of John Gore, and Logan is now in jail with his father. The evidence taken at the inquest was very damaging to Munro Mize, his son Logan and others testi- fvirg to threats which Mize made against Gore some weeks ago. The evidence disclosed that the party, af ter staying a while at the house of H. C. Reynolds, adjourned to a pasture, where they made a fire and there John Fowler, Gore. Logan Mize and Munro Mize became involved in a difficulty, Munro Mize pulling his pistol, placing it against Gore’s head, with the state ment that he would blow out his brains. John Fowler knocked up the nistol. Thev then separated, Fowler and Loean Mize going to Fowler’s house and Gore and Munro Mize going off together. Fowler said that in a few minutes after they arrived at his bouse they heard three pistol shots and that Logan Mize said: “Pa has killed John Gore, and have I not been telling you for six weeks that pa was croing to kill him?” and that Logan further said: “I will bet $100 that he has shot his d—d heart out.” Fowler further said that Munro Mize then came up # with his pistol in his hand and said: “I have killed him, and if anybody here does not like it I will kill them." Gore had an open knife in his hand when they reached his body, and a small stone in his pocket. People here who know Munro Mize find it hard to realize that he shows a disposition to kill any one, as he has always been very quiet and inoffen sive. The verdict of the jury was “that John Gore came to his death from a nistol shot at the hands of Munro Mize, and that Loean Mize was impli cated in the killing.’' Mr. A.
