KING WILL HANG.
POstOn's Murderer to Be Executed at
Memphis Aug. -.
Exciting Scene in the Court ROOm-Beliet
That the Sentence Will be Com
muted.

JACKSON, Tenn, July The Su-
preme Court of the State met i'll adj
iOurned session here to-day to render
opinions in number OF cases, the
most important being the famous
murder case of H. Clay King, who
killed David POstOn on the streets of
Memphis March 10, last year.
Poston was leading counsel for Mrs.
Gideon Pillow in a sensational suit
between her and King, in which their
social relations were involved. King
claimed that his wife's honor had
been alluded to in such manner i'll
a cro=s-bill "a to necessitate retrac-
ton or POston's life. The case was
heard about four weeks ago and
taken under advisement,C Chief Justice
Turney being i'll at that tim
Opinions were delivered in other
cases and then Judge LurtOn read
the opinion of the court in the King
| trial, affirming the opinion of the
! lower court. Judge SnOdgrass dis
scented in an able opinion concerning
the misconduct of the jury, holding
that the Onus of proof was on the
State and the case should be reversed.
! The opinion covers siXty-One pages
of legal cap and takes up all the OBJ
| iectiOns, claiming error in the lower
courts and on which the defense re-
| lied for reversal
! Justice LurtOn read the sentence
that II. Clay King be delivered to the
| Sheriff of Shelby County and con-
fined until Aug. L, when he is to be
hanged, within legal hours, by the
neck till dead.
/ Col. King became greatly agitated
when sentenced was passed and asked
to be allowed to speak. Judge Lur-
ton himself wept when he had finish
ed The sentence. King in husky,
choking voice again asked TO be
heard, when the Chief Justice said If
| it WAS in regard to the case he could
not hear him. He was carried out of
| the rcom accompanied by his wife
and son-in-law. Mrs. King bore the
trying ordeal bravely. King said
after reaching the Jail that he could
meet death bravely if he had to go to
! the scaffold. Tne defense have no
line OF policy mapped out as yet for
! further action. 1t is believed, how
ever, that King will not hang, par
don or Communication being hoped for.

THE silver question Is question
The Republican party is committed
against it, when along comes Re-
publican Senate and passes free
coinage bill. Now it is before Demo
cratic House and they, evidently, are
puzzled what to do with it. The peO-
pie who sent them there expect them
to comply With their pledges. 1t is
unfortunate that the bill shO I'D be
precipitated upon the country just at
this particular time, but the only
consistent course to pursue is tc
pass the bill and leave it to the Lord to
defend the right.

III. CLAY KING.

The blow has fallen. The decision
is made. H. Clay King, says the
Supreme Court of the State of Ten
nessee, is to hang. There has never
been in the history of Tennessee
State noted for its eventful history,
It's fiery blood and it's lido or die"
people-a criminal case the equal of
this in all its phases and bearings-in
the shocking events which led up to it
and now in the tragic scenes which
end it.
H. Clay King was what the world
would call bright, brainy. Ola fiery,
impetuOus temper, quick, bold and
yet cool, he was natural leader OF
men, a brave and daring soldier,
successful lawyer and a deep thinker.
possessing a splendid analytical
mind. His "King's Digest" of the
Tennessee laws will live to attest the
truth of the latter assertion.
Kings fall is unquestionably due to
three reasons: His own innate i'm
purity of heart; whisky; and the
wiles of a wicked woman. This
woman we will dimiss from our dis
cussion by saying that, as fine
widow of good and brave man, she
tempts the charity of our pen. But
that before the eyes of God and OF
man in her wretched and willy inn
purity, she may continue to live her
miserable life, she may continue to
pass for what she is not, she may
continue to talk of justice and her
rights, but the finger of universal
scorn, the contempt of all good men
and women will follow her to the end
of her wretched life. AS moral par
ticeps criminis of H. Clay King, she
is equally as guilty of the crime he
committed as she was in the immoral
life she led with him. But no excuse
nor palliation may be offered for the
chief criminal of this most deplOrable
tragedy. While a feeling of pity
comes over us, it is not enough to
warrant our speaking the truthful
lessons to be drawn from this, the
most prominent of which is that the
man or the woman who shocks an 1
b enumbs the still small voice # their
moral nature, who pollutes and be-
daubs the sacred robe of "spotless
reputation" who despoils the sacred
relationship of home and lays them
in the dust and under the heel of the
reveler and the debauchee, will come
to that end so sternly implied in the
words of that book which has never
lied; "They that do not live in right
eousness shall perish from the
earth"
How has he fallen? The dashing
Colonel; the brilliant lawyer; 1.-THE
man of destiny"-like the common
murderer, like the brutal beastly Grim
inal-a wrecked and ruined man

Supreme Court: May the Lord have
mercy on your soulw

The blood Of the murdered work

1t is but an earnest of the general
carnage that will follow if that party

WE learn to-day from reliable
source that an Alliance sub-uniOn
meeting was held in the 2lst district
last night and that about twenty of
its members bid a formal farewell to
the old Democratic party, and de-
cIared their allegiance to the Peoples
party. The HERALD will undertake
in the next few days to give the
names of these gentlemen. When
we intimated less than year ago
that it was possible for them to betray
the Democratic Iarty, they grew
very, very mad and resentful. While
we regret the separation they have
brought about between themselves
and Democratic principles, we think
their present attitude the honorable
and manly one. So far as its effect
upon the Democratic party is con-
cerned, these Third party brothers
will strengthen us. They can be of
less hurt to rs as open enemies than
they have been as secret foes. The
party is simply being purged, and
will come out of the fight next No
vember stronger, purer and better
than before. These gentlemen We're
very strong for Buchanan, and illus
trate the character of his support !;
from which Democrats who think
will deduce a very strong argument
why Mr.. Buchanan should not be
made Governor any more.

What will be the end of it all, if in

an army of things to assault the clt'-

such scenes forbode no good for

If the present state of affairs con-

luton. Under the sway OF the
Republican party the rich grow richer

gotten by such conditions, shall be
generally prevalent throughout our
country! The way to avert the inn
