A protracted meeting was in progress at this time and place. There had been some words passed it seems, before the services began, in which several young fellows were involved. It was after the service was ended that the trouble again arose on the church yard. George Tatum was stabbed one time near the heart by Laurine Sledge, the former dying some twenty minutes later. Sledge surrendered to the bailiff of that beat and the same night was carried to the Chambers county jail in LaFayette, where he is confined. John Garrett and Walter Pool were also taken in charge as having more or less guilty knowledge of the affair. The funeral of the deceased young man was held at the Methodist church at Abanda on Thursday afternoon. One of the largest congregations ever assembled there on any occasion was present, the house being overflowed. The services were in charge of Rev. O.R. Burns, assisted by Rev. J.E. Riddle. The interment was made in the Tatum cemetery near Milltown. George Tatum was the son of Mr. P.B. Tatum, one of the leading citizens of his section. He was nineteen years of age and is said by those who knew him to have been a fine young man who gave promise of a useful future. The young man who is charged with the killing is said to be not yet twenty-one years of age. He is the second son of Mr. and Mrs. John S. Sledge who reside one mile south of town. This is one of the best known and most respected families of this community. They and their friends unite in deploring this melancholy tragedy, which has involved so many good and innocent people in trouble. ---- PRELIMINARY TRIAL TUESDAY In the Case of Laurine Sledge; Two Young Men Held The preliminary trial of Laurine Sledge, charged with the killing of George Tatum, was held in LaFayette on Tuesday morning. The court room was crowded, al lthe seats being taken and many standing through the two hours consumed in the trial. County Judge C.E. Fuller presided. Circuit Solicitor Moon and County Solicitor Carter were aided in handling the prosecution by Mr. J.A. Hines of LaFayette and Mr. C.H. Vann of Roanoke. Mr. R.J. Hooton of this city appeared in behalf of the defendant. Many people were present from Roanoke, Abanda and other points. The state put up a number of witnesses, whose evidences was very damaging to the defendant. Only three witnesses were called by the defense. Two of these, John Garrett and Walter Pool, were being held under suspicion, but at the conclusion of the trial the state announced that not sufficient evidence had been adducted to warrant their being held, hence the case against each one was nol prossed. The last witness called was Leslie Sledge, a cousin of the defendant. He identifed the knife said to have been used in the killing and stated that it was his, but that it has been passed to the defendant some weeks before in an exchange of clothing. At the conclusion of his testimony the state asked that a bench warrant be issued and that he be held as an accomplice. The court issued the warrant and fixed the bond at $1000. No effort was made to make bond, but instead a writ of habeas corpus will be applied for and the case will be heard in a few days, probably on Friday. Laurine Sledge was remanded to jail without bail to await the action of the grand jury, which convenes the first week in September. ---- REMAINS OF W.B.

The trial of Windom was one of the hardest fought murder trials ever conducted here and large crowds were attracted to the court house each day. The plea of the defendant was self defense and the evidence presented by the prosecution and defense was entirely different, as to the details of the murder of Mr. Black, which was preceded by a difficulty between Windom and I.E., Jap and Hoyt Black, sons of the dead planter, who was shot by Windom when he came up to the scene. Windom stated on the stand that the elder Black struck him with a heavy stick and that he shot to defend himself from further attack. An appeal will probably be taken in the case at an early date.
