Mr. ADAMS, who was implicated in the murder of Josiah COX at Blount’s Creek, Beaufort county about two years ago, was lodged in Beaufort county jail a few days ago, having been captured by a Mississippi sheriff and transported 950 miles.

It will be remembered that FRAISER, who did the shooting, was lynched by a masked mob.  NEWTON was tried as accessory and sentenced to hard labor in State prison for seven years and ADAMS now awaits his trial upon the charge of murder.

Mr. ADAMS is represented by Mess. REDMAN, SMITH, and ALEXANDER, while Solicitor BLOUNT and Mess. SIMMONS and WARREN represent the State.
