HALLETSVILLE KILLING.

—

Examining Trial Has Been Set for Today.

(Houston Post Special.)

Halletsville, Texas, October, 26. — Messrs. R. R. McDade, Jim Lipscomb, J. D. Harvey and R. E. Hanney arrived here from Hempstead this morning.  The first is the father of R. R. McDade, Jr., who killed C. V. Floyd here yesterday; the others are his friends.

The term of district court ends by limitation Saturday, so the grand jury will not be reconvened.  Justice of the Peace S. J. Townsend will tomorrow (Thursday) hold an examining trial.

The remains of Floyd were buried in the city cemetery this afternoon.  Dr. Gregory, his brother-in-law, came here from Corpus Christi to attend the funeral.
