FOR HIS LIFE.
Levi n. Billings Trial For the Murder Of
Francis ID. Lightall.

| Francis ID. Lishtall.
| The case of the People VS.. Levi n Bill.
| ings, charged with the murder of Francis
D. Lightall. on March 1st last, is set fol
trial to-day in Department One of the SUI
perior Court.
The circumstances of the tragedy are
doubtless familiar to most of the readers OF
the RECORD UNION. On the day named,
Billings went to his ranch, Just north of
Jlbboom street, which young Lightall and
his father Luther o. Lightall, occupied as
tenants. TO interview them on business. He
was accompanied by his son. 1t is alleged
that he became violently angry during the
discussion of business differences with his
tenants, and that, picking up a club, he
knocked the young man down with it, and
then pulled a pistol and shot him dead.
Billings then came to the Sheriffs office
and gave himself up.
The bone of contention Between the two
parties was the attempt on the part of Bill
lings to get his tenants to give up their
lease of the ranch. He had finally agreed
Several days prior to the killing) to paw
the Lightalls SIPS if they would resign
their lease and move away. To this they
had agreed. The money was not forth
coming. however, and the refusal of the
Lightalls to leave the ranch before pay
ment of the sum agreed upon led to the
fatal quarrel described above.
At the Coroner's inquest the only wit
nesses examined were the father of the de-
ceased and the County Physician. DIR. G. A.
White, the latter of whom had made an
autopsy on the body.
The statements of this case made in the
foregoing as to the circumstances of the
killing, are based upon the testimony of
Luther O. Lightall before the Coroner's
jury, at the inquest which was held on the
evening of the day of the killing.
After elaboration of less than ten min
utes, the jury returned a verdict to the eff
feet that deceased came to his death from a
pistol-ball wound in the left breast, inflicted
by pistol in the hands of one L. N. Bill
lings.
In the prosecution of this case District
Attorney Bruner will be assisted by w. A.
Anderson, and the defense will be in the
hands of Grove L. johnson.
