Bail Agreed Upon In Jeff Palmer
Case
~~~~~

     The case of the negro Jeff Palmer, charged with assault to murder Savas Xydias, was called before Judge Frazier on examining trial. The defendant waived examination, however, and his bond was agreed upon at one thousand dollars between the attorney for the state and the defendant. The bond was made and Jeff released from jail.
     In the matter of the examining trial ill the case of Chatman Palmer, the same was postponed until Monday April 11th to await the result of the wound. The postponement was asked by the state's attorney who said that it was the hope of the state that Savas Xydias would be able to appear in court and testify by that time.
     The charge of assault to murder against Matt Slater was dismissed and a charge of assaul and battery filed against him.
