Pate Set Free.
Last Monday, Charles Pate was brought here by Sheriff Bannon and lodged in jail. He was charged with the murder of Wm. Thomas at the rock quarry above town on the morning of July 31 1905.
The examining trial was held here Thursday before Squire John Kelly and as there could be no evidence produced against him, he was set free. It seemed that there was no one who knew anything definitely about the matter, although Wm. Thomas met his death at that place at the above stated time and there was trouble between the two parties and it had been stated that Pate kicked Thomas in the stomach which caused his death. Pate had been dodging the officers since that time and was picked up by Sheriff Bannon in Grayson County and brought here Monday.
Mrs. Charles Pate whose examining trial was held here August 4, as an accessory to crime and who was held over till circuit court and had been in jail since her trial, was released under a $150 bond and the family returned to their home Thursday evening.- Hawesville Plaindealer.

shows. Would love to learn more about this?
