And the law that makes it to the contrary is a huge farce. Another point that may be raised in connection with the bailing of those who killed Jones, that it was setting aside the action of the grand jury which had already found a true bill for murder against them. . We also observe that Judge Shaw, who is now holding court in Wilson, decides that five of the prisoners must be tried for murder in the first degree.
