GUILFORD SUPERIOR COURT.
Regular Terra Occupied Wholly Wlih
Minor Cases—Special Term Began
Monday.
Judge Moore adjourned the regular
ttiin of Supeiior court Saturday after-noon
upon the conclusion of the case
in which \V. P. Daniel was the de-fendant.
Daniel is the young man
Who was recently charged with the
larceny of some freight from the Sou th-em
tle|Hit. He showed to the satisfac-tion
of the jury that he bad an under-standing
w lib some of the railroad offi-cials
as lo the removal of perishable
freight, and the jury promptly return-ed
a verdict of not guilty.
The entire week was taken up with
cases of a minor character, in the main.
Fully three-fourths of them could have
been disposed of in magistrates' courts,
had such a thing been possible under
the law, without detriment to the peace
and dignity of the state or a sacrifice of
any right on the part of the defendants.
How loug this state of affairs is to con-tinue
is a matter for the taxpayers to
decide. Unless there is a united pre-test
our court dockets will continue to
be burdened with entries charging
simple assault, minor affrays, petit
larceny, carrying concealed weapons,
retailing aud the like, any and all of
which, except in aggravated cases,
should be passed upon by a county
official clothed with proper jurisdiction.
The right of appeal would always lie
vouchsafed and defendant, while jus-tice
would be administered iu a dtcid-edly
more economic manner. The
Superior court judges themselves would
welcome a change in the existing order
of things, as it would enable them to
give more of their time to the consid-eration
of weightier matters. Guil-foid's
representatives in tlie next legis-lature
could not devote their eueigies
to a better cause than securing judi-cious
amendments to the law relating
to certain classes of crime.
Before tbegrand jury was discharged
Satutdny Its report was read by the
court and liled with the clerk. The
report is appended in full.
Immediately after adjournment
Judge Moore heard arguments iu the
habeas corpus proceedings brought by
S. F. Hut bins to secure control ol his
two children, who wire recently taken
from their mother by order of the court
ant1 placed in the care of the mother's
patents, Mr. and Mis. A. Coble, of
Randolph county. After a number of
i affidavits had been lead and lint bins
had testified in the matter Judge
! Moore announced that he was satisfied
neither parent was lit to bring up their
children and they were permanently
placed in the custody of their grand-parents.
Hutchins by bis own affida-vit
alleged that Mr. Coble was unlit to
rear the children, being a man in poor
circumstances with an invalid wife, of
violent temper, not on speaking terms
With his son who lived only a few
hundred yards away from him, owning
no laud of consequence and having
been charged with illegally selling
whiskey. At the conclusion Judge
Moore stated that he did not attach
any importance to an affidavit sworn
to by Hutchins, besides he had affida-vits
from many Influential citizens of
Coble's neighborhood testifying to his
good character and his ample means
for providing for the children.
During the week Dr. J. It. Matthews
appeared before the ,'lerk of the court
and renewed his bond iu the sum of
16,000 for hie appearance at the Decem-ber
term, pending the decision of the
Supreme court in his case.
Under sentence of the court for the
periods indicated the following prison-ers
were conveyed to the convict camps
and workhouse Monday morning:

larcenv two vears; Viola fjmtf. tai«s*>y,

robbery, twelve months.
All of the male prisoners sent to the
workhouse are hoys, with one excep-tion,
a cripple. Dock Brower, sent up
for highway robbery, is less than leu
years old. He held up a small white
boy on the street aud robbed him of a
few ceuts.
Henry Fulton, a white boy given
two years for forgery, will serve his
term in the Virginia sute reformatory,
when his expenses will be paid by his
father. All of the Josses sustained by
reason of the boy's misdeeds were
made good by the father.
Sl'KCIAI. TKK.M.
Judge IJ. F. Loug, of Statesville,
presides over the special term of one
week which opened Monday morning.
A lew unimportant cases curried over
from the regular term were disposed of
at the morning session. Pleas. Thomas
was given eighteen mouths for larceny
and Frank Williams twelve months
for forgery. Florence Hanks, colored,
charged with keeping a bawdy house,
slipped out of court before her case was
called and it was necessary to order a
continuance and capias.
A special venire of oue hundred,
j from which to select a jury in the
i Beachman murder c»se, was ordered
| returnable the following morning at
110 o'clock. Most of Monday afternoon
j was taken up with the case against
| John f. Strong, charged with obtain-ing
tooney under false pretense from
C. L. Joues. The defense introduced
no testimony, claiming that the pro-secitioii
had failed to make out a case,
but the jury readily agreed on a verdict
of guilty. It is presumed that when
'sentence is passed an appeal will be
taken.
Yesterday morning Frank Bohanou.
the self-confessed slayer of foreman K
I'.. Beachman, who was killed at Hill
! top On July 31, and Kiser and Oscar
i ( intcblield, father and BOO, accessories
before the fact, were placed on trial for
their lives. Solicitor Brooks is assisted
in the prosecution by Mr. G. S. Fergu
[son, Jr. Bohanou is represented by
Mi G. S Kradshaw, and the Crutch
fie '.-• iy Col. J. A. Barringer aud Mr.
\V. J Sherrod. The following were
chosen for jurymen in the case after
more than half the special venire was
exhausted: A. E. Fryar, B. F. Bare-foot,
D. M. Halladay, J. W. Lomau.
VV. B. Porbis, J. F. Han tier, E. P
Hufflnes, Claude Smith, John A. Gil
mer, C. F. Coe, J. s. Greesoo and E
J. Stafford.
At the afternoon session live ini]«ir-
I taut witnesses for the state gave then
testimony in the case, W. H. Hutch-ins,
a railroad hrakemau who saw the
tragedy from the top of a passing train:
W. F. Ausley. a telegraph operator
w ho was working at Hilltop the day ot
the murder; Dr. J. K. Foscue, who at-tended
the wounded man, conveying
him to a High Point hospital; Deputy
Sherifl Weatherly. who assisted in the
arrest of the murderers,and Mrs. Gray,
at whose house Beachman boarded.
Several others gave brief corroborative
testimony.
The testimony throughout corres-ponds
with the first published reports
of the tragedy. Bobanon bad been
discharged from the double tracking
force by Beachman and ordered away.
Killing up ou whiskey aud arming
himself he hunted up Beachman and
shot bim down iu a cold-blooded man-ner.
He then said and still insists the
( tutchlields urged him to commit the
murder, plying him with whiskey aud
aiding him in securing the weapons he
bad at the time.
It is probable that all of today's ses-sion
of the court will be consumed in
the taking of testimony. Several other
capital cases remain on the docket rot
the week, and it is a matter of specula-tion
as to how many of them can be
heard at this term

To His Honor, Fred Moore, Judge pre-siding
at the September term of Guil-ford
Superior court:
We the grand jury for this term of
the Superior court beg leave to make
the following report:
We have investigated all bills sent to
us by the solicitor aud made proper
disposition of same. We visited the
county home aud county work bouse
and hereby submit our report as fol-lows:
At the county home we find that
there are 3- inmates; 8 white males, 18
w bile females, 9 colored males and T
colored females. All of these from
their appearance, except one, are well
cared for, and those with whom we
talked said they had plenty to eat. The
oue excepted is a negro man, who was
under confinement in a cell, and the
keeper informed us that his mental
condition was such that counnemeut
was absolutely necessary. The condi-tion
of his cell, ou account of the foul
odors emauating therefrom, we could
not make a thorough inspection of.
As to tne county work bouse we have
to report that we found 14 inmates: 1
