David Credle Put Upon the Stand and [Special to Reflector. ‘David Credle, one of the persons i im-. plicuted, was put upon the stand ata quarter to 12 o'clock yesterday. He said: Tam 25° years old, was born i in | Hyde county, can’tread or write. Have been living i in this county about four years and in Aurora about one year. Have known the defendants all this time... I was the-tirst one arrested and William Brantly.. with me was appre- hended at Thompson’s store. The Bells were arrested the next morning. I was carried to Thompson’s hall and guarded all night. Next morning I told the Sheriff . I wanted to see J. W. Flowers. Told Flowers who...was con- nected with the murder, Flowers did! not make any threats. or promises. .Af- ter seeing Flowers I saw M. J, Fowler and W. B. Rodman, they did not make any threats or promises. T have made statements to the State’s counsel here, they made no promises or threats, I went before the grand jury, refused to testify the first time. My brother told |; me not to say - anything until he saw me} again. By making this statement or | confession IT don’t know what will be, the consequences. _ “Was ‘working with J. M. Flowers when ‘murder was com— mitted. Brantley was the first one to mention the ‘killing of. Bonner to me, He came to the woods where I was working. I went in the woods to get a pole and Brantly followed. Brantley said ‘Dave, ain’t you tired working in it this world when you can do better?| | Brantly : said ‘I can do better, my leg| has been. broken and I can hardly walk, Can't work ‘much now and I know « a couple of parties where we can get some ~,,| money and there are , two others. onn-, | nected with me in this and we want the fourth man. “I asked who the other| “| two were, ‘he would not say, He did not say who they were that had money, said the other two with him would pot be susp idioned, they stood high, ‘Brant- ley uid ‘Credle, you will suit us, we want you.’ Brantley said they were to rob and take anything they eould get hold of. He said ‘do you mind killing a man? I said yes, sir, 1 don’t wunt to kill any one. Brantley said we have got three. pistols, you just take us we | Anock down, I then cut polea and went it tae 0 ss back. Brantley. says you come to my. house, the other parties, will be there, Brantley made the proposition Thurs- day week before Bonner was killed.

Uriah ’ ‘said we want Uriah then said we have broken, open lars that evening. Brantley said Uriah was going to lay a pipe on window fac- ing, this was to be a sign for them to break open thé store and get the money [from the drawer. W. A. Thompson went off that night. Brantley went to gee if pipe. was there but didn’t | find it, They : afterwards broke open store and unhinged money drawer and found few dollars. They said they had broken open Hudnell’s ‘store, went in side window. We all got on our. knees and Uriah rind the paper which stated, ‘as well as 11 remember, that we should cling to brothers, ‘The obligation. was to secre- thing hands on it.
