September 30, 1901 A large crowd of lawyers and citizens went to Statenville, in Echols county, this morning to attend court there. Judge W. N. Spence, of the Flint circuit is presiding and a busy session is expected. The most important case will will be the arraignment of the two Mobleys and Harrell, the three white men charged with the assasination of Captain Adams, near Fargo, several weeks ago. The grand jury will take up the case at once and the trial will be at this term of court if the grand jury returns a bill against the parties. As was wired The Journal some time ago, Harrell made a partial confession and implicated the other men. All three of them have money and friends, and the case promises to be hard fought on both sides.
