J. Shaffer, a former resident of tho county,
,as nrrnlgnm ns tho perpetrator of tho
horrible deed. A man nnmorl Jnhnnnn.aml
James Kline and Essio Kltno, aro also ac
cused of tho murder. On motion It was
directed thnt each should bo tried separate
ly. Luther J. Shaffer was tho first chosen
for trial. A chain of circumstantial cvl
dence was brought to bear upon the caso.
It was so well woven that not a link seemed
to be missing, and the stcarn hand of tho
law was slowly entlonlnj about tbccrlminal.
After the evidence was all In tho attorneys
for Shaffer offered to prove by certain wit
nesses what shoes Shaffer wore, tho loca
tion of a gun, 4c. Tho Commonwealth
stated that theso wero Irrelevant and tho
judgo so decided. Hence no witnesses
were called in defense. After the argu
ments of the attorneys and tho charge of
Judgo Mayer, tho Jury, being out about
one hour, brought In a verdict of guilty.
The trial was in progress during tho entire
week and occasioned considerable of ex.
cilcmcnt; Iho Court House being crowded,
Tho crime for which Henffer Is to be
hantrrd was committed Hntnnlav. Anmut
0, 1887. The victims were Joslah Colby
and Nora Colby. They lived In a remote
place in 1 Union countv. About sir o'clock
Saturday evening, August 0, Mrs. Colby
wa seen washing some white
clothe s at a run near tho house;
Monday Mr. and Mrs. Colby wcro found
both dead and decomposeu, lying along
tho run. Mrs. Colby had all tho cIoIIiIol-
torn from her. In tho house was a child
nbout four and a half years old and a baby
which had evidently been left to starve.
The testimony of tho witnesses for tho
Commonwealth revealed tho most fiendish
crime ever committed. Thero seems to
have been no doubt thst the guilty party Is
secured and that justice will bo avenged.
A motion for a new trial was heard Mon.
clay, December 12, but Jndgo Mayer re-
luscd it and then pronounced the death
sentence. Tho other thrco who aro held
for trial will be given a hearing some tlmo
In January, when It is expected that some
revelations will be made.

Mr. It. B. Hamlin, one of the best known
insurance men in North Carolina, writes
from Winston, as follows: "Eversinco I
was soren years of age I havo had what
the doctors call hip disease, and which I
call white swelling. My hip was drawn
out of place. There was a swelling at the
knee-joint, where ther is a profuse run
ning, which has been thero for years. Of
ceurse this has greatly depleted my ays
tern, together with surgical operation on
tho Ug bone. I tried every known blood
purifier to build up ray system, but none
did me good until I took B. S. B. I use it
every spring. It always bulld me up,
giriug me appetite and digestion, and ena
bles me to stand tho longr. trying, ener
vating, hot summer days. To me there is
no such medicine for pyrifying the blood
and building up the wasted system as
B. B. S. On using it I soou became strong
of body and easy of mind. My color
changed from a pale, worn look to a
healthy, robust complexion "
Mr. O. N. Frizicl, of Farmersville,
Texas, writes: "About August 1st, 1BG5,
an eruption appeared on my arms and
legs, which pained roe much and seemed
to affect my physical condition generally.
On thi advice of a physician at this place,
