Francis bottom last February, WAS al
lowed to come INTO court Tuesday
morning and confess to the murder,
for which he will receive sentence of
seven years in the pententiary. All
agree that this is IA very light punish
ment for Adams, as the CRIME was a
very cold-blooded affair, though super
induced by drink, an account of which
appeared in TIE TINES.
After shooting Laney, Adams round
ed up the men in camp and would let
no one assist his dying victim, who
fingered several hours before death re-
lieved him of his sufferings. Adams
then fled to the country, first visiting
his old home in West Tennessee from
