The case came up before Judge Lucas Wednesday, when the colored girl testified that Edna drew the gun, and it was discharged acci- dentally, the bullet striking Millie ; that Edna was so excited that she accidentally discharged the weapon again. In the warrant which she swore out for the arrest of Edna, she stated that the first shot was fired at her, and that the next shot was accidental. It looks like the thing had been fixed up, and probably “hush money” used. The matter should receive the attention of the grand jury.
