l The T rial of Ed Purvis.
;. A recent issue of the Fayetteville,
N. Gazette contained a ref
port of the trial of Edga Purvis,
who killed Mr. M J Blackwell some
Weeks ago. As Mr. Blackwell had
many relatives and friends in this
.contkfy we reproduce the article
from the Gazette.
> -At 7.80 o'clock this morning the
* . Jury in the trial of Edgar Purvis,'
r for the killing of M J Blackwell,
tbS Atlantic Coast Line flagman, on
the qight of August 15, brought in
a verdict of murder in the first de
gree, without any reeomniendationsr
The trial of this cafce com*
menced yesferday morning in the
Superior Court of Harnett county
; at Lillington, before Judge (>. H.
; v, Allen. Solicitor Pou and Mr GM
Rose were the attorneys l ?r the
prosecution, and Mr. \Y E Murchison
and Mr. Clifford appeared for
the defendant by the appointment
?Anrt. the nrisoner having
engaged no counsel. By 11 o'clock I
the Jury *w?8 chosen and both sides
announced their satisfaction with
the twelve men.
The prosecution's evidence was
almost identical with that already
publlshed in the Observer, with
several new aftd damaging witnesses.
Of the latter, two men, Ed
t'romartie and Jim W right confined
ifc prison here with Purvis, testified
to statements made to them by
in which he confessed the I
shootiug. a number of the crew of
W; the train on which the murder wasl
committed testified that they rec-l
agnized Purvis as being the man
vtho had the altercation with the
iltgman by his voice. They swore I
*" that they had heard him speak sevtfapes
since his arrest.
..^Tbe fatal bullet was produced
by Dr. China and proved to be of
the same calibre as those used in
l^irvis' pistol, producen by deputy
&& - ahwif AIIpl I
T I- *?d Loms'x, the eye-witness of t he
fepmier was the star witness for
<he prosecution, and described tin>
Shooting and flight of himself nod
Purvis in detail. The State introduced
testimony to show that Purvis
had ample time to meditate on
the killing and that it was virtually
ail assassination. Of the great
number of witnesses the State introduced
the defence was not able
toehike the testimony of the most
evidence was convincing
and conclusive. The defence put
no witnesses on the stand, and the
defendant did not testifiy on his
own behalf.
'The speeches by the attorneys
on both sides were brief, but aide,
* but could hardly have had much
effeetoneway or the other on the!
t juty, (which is said to have been
a very intelllgeut one,) as the evidence
was everwhelminglv against
the prisoner. The Judge's charge
was mainly taken up with explaining
the difference between murder
in the first drgree, murder in the
| second degree and manslaughter,
L and what would constitute each, it
wasaboutsundown when he finish-1
- ed and the Jury retirad.
"When the verdict was announc
?ed by the foreman the morning
t the prisoner showed little emotion
v and seemed prepared for the severe
^ genalty.
The crime for which Purvis is |
, now under sentence of death wasl
the coldblooded anu unprovoked!
killing of Mr. M J Black well, of!
Fdjwtoo, 8 C, a flagman on* the
Atlantic Coast Line railroad, on-the
niorpingof August 15 near Dunn,
ffr-'ln Harnett county. The flight and
capture are of too recent occu rrence
& to need recital of the details."

It needs no experienced eye to
determine that he was distinctly
rural. Alter watching me season
iing my meat with a judicious

the better of his bashfulness.
'Stranger, is that their stuff good
to put on meat ?"
'Yes, indeed, if you like seasoning."

With reckless liberality, he took
the small Dottle and shoo* out a
quanitv upon his plate. Ii? cut
off a large mouthful of meat, rolled
it about in the red liquid until
thoroughly saturated, popped ii
into his mouth and bolted it.
What followed mav be safely left
to the imagination. When at last
the power of speech returned to
him he turned to me. There was
more of sorrow than anger in hi>
mind ; and there was compassion
in the tone in which he said :
''Stranger, when ver time comes
an' yer gits ter hell, yer'll think
yer've struck a snowbank."

A practical woman remarked
the other day that the interesting
things in a newspaper to her are i
the advertising column?. "And
lpng ago," said she, "I quit buying
of those who do not advertise.
It always seems to me that the
merchant who advertises invites
me to trade with him, while the
one who does not advertise iin. j
press me with the idea that he15
doesn't care enough for my trade :
and is too, singv to ask me for it.
