HATTIESBURG.
A Negro Boy Convicted of Murder.
HATTIESBURG, Miss., May 10. --[Special.]--
Willis Kelley, a negro boy, who killed J. C. Hodges last August at Eastabuchie, was today found guilty of murder at Ellisville before the circuit court. The impression of spectators who heard the trial was that the jury would not convict. They were out only a few moments.
