The little boy, Eddie Card, who killed his father, Cass Card, in this city several weeks ago by striking him in the forehead with a rock, and who was indicted for manslaughter, had his trial Saturday. The jury after being out a short time brought in a verdict of not guilty. The case against Louisa Sampson as access- ory was nolle prossed. Judge Box- ley prosecuted and W. O. Jackson defended. The plea was made that the boy threw the rock in defense of his mother. So far as public sen- timent was concerned it was decid- edly in favor of boy. Cass Card bore the reputation of not being a very reputable citizen, and of being very quarrelsome and abusive toward his family and the facts bear out the statement that the boy was as good as the father and the father was no better than the son, and so long as parents raise their children ard tutored his they may expect no better treatment. However, whether Eddie was guilty or not guilty of the charge, society demands that such cases shall receive the fullest investigation from the prosecuting attorney, and in failing to do his duty on behalf of the state Judge Boxley would be 'Now is-Your Chance!
