CHARGED WITH MURDER.
.Constable R. H. Barch Placsd Under
5lcoo Bond as the Result of the
Bob Carter Inquest.
The inquest on the death of
Bob Carter who was shot to
death in the rear of the county-
jail Sunday night was held be-
hind closed doors in Justice W.
R. Ewing's office Tuesday. As a
result of the enquiry Justice Ew-
ing rendered a verdict that the
deceased came to his death from
gun shot wounds received at the
hands of R. H. Burch.
Sheriff Teague filed an affida-
vit against Constable Burch
charging him with murder. The
defendant waived an examining
trial and gave bond in the sum
of 81000 for his appearance be-
fore the grand jury with the fol-
lowing securities: F. Haubelt
W. E. Dwyer W: A. Wood D.
C. Giddings Jr. Ed. Amsler
Joe Geick.
The following lawyers have
volunteered 'to conduct the de-
fence : Searcy & Garrett Rog-
ers & Herbst Campbell & Pen
nington W. C. Henderson and J.
M. Mathis.
Only two witnesses were ex
amined at the inquest with the
following testimony:
R. S. Farmer being sworn
testified as follows : "My name
is R. S. Farmer; I live in Bren-
ham Texas. Jim Rankin tele-
x phoned to me at my home Sun-
day night and told me that Jim
Burch had been killed. I came
up town and was told who did
the killing. They said Bob Car-
ter was the man who did the kill-
ing. I went on up to his house
and found out that he had been
there. His brother Simon Car-
ter told me that he was going to
make him surrender to me. Si-
mon Carter started off to look for
him and told me if he found him
he would let me know. He sent
me word that he had found him
and I went and got him. I took
him up behind me on my horse
and started to take him to the
back door of the jail. My" inten-
tion was to avoid being seen as I
was afraid some person would
try to do the prisoner harm. I
rode up in about 20 steps of the
gate back of the jail and saw a
man there sitting on his horse.
This man got down off his horse
and started towards me. I
pulled my pistol and told him to
halt. I asked who it was and he
replied it was Dick Robertson.
He said 'Have you got him?' I
said 'Got who?' and he said Bob
Carter and I said yes.- As soon
as I saw who it was I lowered my
gum Mr. Robertson had his
gun nhis hands and he also
lowered his. Mr. Robertson said
"Get down." By that time Mr.
Robertson was close enough to
touch me. Bob .Carter up to this
time was holding on to me with
both hands and while Mr. Rob-
ertson and I were talking I felt
him turn me loose. I looked
around and he had slipped off
and ran about 15 or 20 feet and
Bob Burch shot .him. He shot
him twice with a shot gun. Mr
Robertson had a Winchester. I
saw no one there when the gun
ffred but Bob Burch and Dick
Robertson. I saw no one else
shoot but Burch. I guess there
were 15 or 20 shots fired at least
i am nor deputy snenrx. ji was
only one of a number of citizens
trying to catch Bob Carter. J
understand that i$ob Carter was
the party who killed Bob
Burch's brother Jim Burch.
I think Alex Simon and W. H.
Lockhart were the first persons I
met after the shooting and were
the first persons I saw after the
persons I have already named. I
have stated all 1 know about the
killing of Bob Carter. Bob
Burch is a brother to Jim Burch
and Dick Robertson is a brother-in-law
to Jim Burch.
Abe Guyton being sworn tes-
tified as follows: My name is
Abe Guyton. I live in Bren-
1 ham Texas. I know Bob Car-
ter. He is dead. I saw his dead
body yesterday (Monday) morn-
ing. I saw Where one ball had
entered his head near the let
ear one in the back of. his head
and one wound under his right
arm and looked like it had been
made with buck shot. ' This is all
