An0thee CONVICTION.
On the 2lst Of September, 1873. Franz
Davidson, of WarrensburG. shot and killed
William Haeserty At picnic. Davidsor
made 4 diahonorable proposition to Hag
xertys wife. Ma Haggerty told her hue
band. Haggerty then went TO Davidsou
and asked him to take it back. D.vidsoa
refused. Hagserty told Davidson il be did
not take il back he would mash his head
Davidson shot and killed him. He pleaded
self-defence. The jury brought in . verdict
of guilty Of murder in the first degree, a
charged in the indictment.
Davidson was ably defended BY Me~rs.
Logan and Crutch6eld. In fact, the plea
that those gentlemen made for Davidson'a
life was worthy . better CASE.
The State vss represented BY w. H.
Brinker. prosecuting attorney, assisted BY
Major Henry Neal. These gentlemen plead
for lav and order in johnson county. and
from the verdict Of the jury, they are sub
stansially supported BY the best people Of
the county.
1t is getting odious in Missouri to shoot
on the slightest provocation. Jur;es and
courts begin 70 realize that crime must be
punished by death on the scaffold Tor
the vindication Of Law and the safety Of the
people.
