der's doom.
Colonel II. Clay King, the assassin OF
Lawyer David II. Poston, his long time
aSsoCia at the bar and friend in pri-
vate life, is or was, prior to the troubles
which have fallen upon him, a kind,
genial, but sharp and nervous acting
gentleman; the type OF a Kentucky
man Of education and position, who was
able to point 10 a brilliant record as
soldier and a grand reputation as law
yer and juriSt. He was born in Ken
lucky in 1881, but has resided and pTac-
ticed law in Memphis for the past thir-
ty years, accommodating considerable
property by his work as an advocate
aud having the premier practice in the
city. But it was not merely as Il brill
liant pieader that Colonel King won his
way TO the leading position in the State
Bar Association, but by his reputation
as the author of Kings Digest Of Ten
neSsee Laws" a standard work which
has not only been accepted as final in
it's authority in scores Of cases OF great
interest, but which was quoted and used
against him in his own trials.
Colonel King won his reputation as a
soldier and his rank in the service by
sheer pluck, determination and Capaci-
ty in the Confederate army. He not
only fought well and sacrificed much for
tho cause, but raised regiment
of Kentuckians which served in Gener-
al Ryan's brigade, and won their honors
as brave and well disciplined addition
10 the strength OF the army.
When the war was over Colonel Clay
King commenced his practice as a law
yer and removed to Memphis, where he
was already well known and respected.
Professional business poured in upon
him, and the care and skill with which
he got up his cases, and the briliancy
and dash with which he argued than,
soon won him a reputation throughout
the State, and made his services much
sought after, and, at the same time, in
creased his income aud multiplied his
wealth.
Generous and free-handed, Colonel
King liked to live well and enjoy the
prosperity assured by his talents, and
he entered largely into social life, but it
was not until Mrs. Pillow had crossed
his path and became a blight upon his
reputation that he developed dssipated
tastes and sought relief from his trouble
in strong drink.

On the other hand, Mrs. Pillow
claimed that if she had become posses
sed of Colonel Kings Arkansas proper
ty, it was only equitable and proper that
she should do so, seeing that she had
loaned him the money, $4,000, with
which he had purchased 1t, and that she
had, in other ways, assisted him and
made him her debtor to as large or even
larger amount than would be covered
by the property which he had decided to
her.
This put Colonel King upon his de-
Tense. II it was true as charged by Mrs.
Pillow, that the property had been
passed over to her In satisfaction OF Just
and legal claims, which she had for pc
cuniary help given TO him In bis times
of need, it knocked the bottom out oil
his charge that she bad wheedled him
out of his estate as old Cleopatra wheel
led Marc Antony by undue influence
and wicked wiles. Indeed, 1t rather
made him appear as blackmaller upon
a woman's shame, and an migrate to one
who had helped as well as loved him,
and it was to vindicate each other oy
mutual recrimination that they went
into court and asked the Equity Judges
to give them clean bills OF health.
On MAY II, 1880, Colonel King opened
the ball by fling bill In chancery
against Mrs. Pillow and her two chill
dren to recover the decided lands, In
which the facts before stated we're put
forth and the allegation made that Mrs.
Pillow was living upon and In posses
sion of the Arkansas property impaop-
erly obtained from Colonel King, and
now In litigation. In answer 10 this
Widow Pillow pleaded the $4,000 loan
and that the property has been decided
10 her in settlement Of that claim. Still
further. she claimed that her character
had been impeached and her reputation
injured by Colonel Kings charges and
insinuations, and she asked for SlO,O
damages against him on that score.
interviewer into these cross bills and
their counter replies were serious per-
sonal allegations discreditable alike to
each party to the suit and redolent OF
scandals and disclosures for eensori-
Gus world. The case was sensation
In its every aspect and the disclosures
made were as shocking as they were
unexpected, neither side sparing the
other in its efforts to blacken it. Final
Iy, the Court gave verdict in favor of
Col. King as to the title and ownership
of the land, and against Mrs. Pillow In
her suit for damages, thus practically
establishing Kings claim that be had
been vietimized by an adventures and
heeeed by woman in whom ne had
confded.
1t was as the leading counsel for Mrs
Pillow that David II. Poston aroused an
insane vindictiveness ip Colonel Kings
bosom, which drove him into becoming
! a murderer. Poston had been so mer-
eiless upon King in his conduct Of the
case that Il was feared that al outbreak
would occur in court. but his counsel
managed to keep him in bounds, and

David Fl. Poston was Tennesseean
by birth, instinct and education, and
was proud of his native town. Memphis,
where had grown up, studied law and
won an honorable position at the Bar.
For years he had been the personal
friend and professional associate Of the
man who shot him down, and they had
fought together on the same side or OPP
posed each other in scores OF cases in
which they had been retained as associ-
ates or opposing counsel. His speciality
was cases involving complicated titles,
real estate and land transfers, and in
this class of work he had won high
name for shrewdness and clever man
aQement. And his war record as Con-
federate soldier, was the equal OF Col.
Kings, he having been severely wound
ed the battle Of Perryville, in 1852.
After the war was over and he had
recovered from the effects Of his wound,
Poston went back to Memphis and hung
out his single as lawyer, soon build
Ing up 3 good practice, to which he
gave an attention and skill which soon
placed him on the way to fortune. In
ls6s he was married to Miss Mary
Reeves, who died after the birth OF her
fourth child. The children are still
living, and Poston found second moth
er for them, who now survives him and
mourns bis loss.
This woman is the central figure and

the case ended without the bioodshed
which many persons. knowing Kings
| fiery nature, feared would happen.
During the trial Poston drew from Mrs.
Pillow an admission that, while living
with her, King had declared that he
had been told by negro certain things
about his, Kings wife, which were OF
such a scandalous nature that he pro-
posed making them the grounds OF an
application for divorce from her, and
that should he obtain this divorce he
would marry the witness.
This evidence, needlessly brought
out to insult pure woman and SEEM
ingly only for the purpose OF permitting
Mrs. Pillow to get cruel fling at her,
ranked IN Colonel Kings bosom as
nothing else had done. His returning
manhood and his revived sense OF
shame, as a husband and father, made
him keenly sensitive TO the insult which
had been put upon his wife. II he had
deserted her as a husband he had again
begun TO honor her as woman, ana
any slur upon her good name stung
him to the quick.
For this be held Poston personally
responsible, and between May, 1889, and
March, 1891, he brooded over II day
and night, continually nursing his
wrath and nerying himself to have re-
venge upon the man who had dragged
his wife's name into court, time after
time threatening to ''get Psston" or, In
other words, to kill him.
1t was the morning of March 10, 1891,
when the deed was done. Mr.. Poston
was walking along the street In the very
heart OF the city, where everybody
knew him. He had just lifted his hat
to lady when King, wild-eyed with
rage and maddened with drink, sprang
out upon the sidewalk. Poston held
out his hand to his old friend but IL was
dashed aside, and King, placing the
mIzzle Of heavy revolver against Pos
TONS body. pulled the trigger and sent
a bullet clear through his victim. 1t
was q cowaIdly shot, and as deadly as
cowardly. PoSsaR staggered but few
PAGES, and fell into thu arms of friend.
He was carried home, anu lied on the
second day after receiving his wound.
After KiLg had fred the fatal shothe
made no effort TO escape, but gave him.
self up TO the authorities. The excite
ment around the scene OF the tragedy
was Intense, and threats of lynching be-
came so ominous that the wretched
prisoner begged to be permitted to re-
tain his revolver for self-defense until
he reached the shelter OF the jail, and
this privilege was accorded him.
Two days afterward Poston died, IL
was only through the efforts OF Poston's
family and nearest friends that King
was not lynched at the time OF the
murder. King was placed upon trial In
the Criminal Court at Memphis, June l.
The trial lasted uutil July 3, when a
verdict of murder in the first degree
was returned and King was sentenced
to be hanged November 6. The case
was appealed through all its processes
and a new trial sought, but in April
last the Supreme Court refused the APP
pication and held that the conviction
was good. On July the death SEN
tence was repassed by Judge Lurton at
Jackson, and King was remanded to
Jail to await execution on August IL.
