Preliminary Examination

On yesterday Justices Collens and Sherrill were engaged in the trial of James 
Segraves, Jr., charges with the murder of Bob Brown. Our readers will remember 
the notice of a stabbing which occurred last November on the place of Mr. W.J. 
Bridges near Creswell. The evidence disclosed the fact that Segraves stabbed 
Brown about [?] times with a knife and that Brown died in May from the effects 
of the wound. The defense admitted the stabbing but claimed justification. The 
court decided that the case needed further investigation and remanded Segraves 
to jail to await the action of the grand jury.
