NEGRO WHIPPED DEATH
Tom Watson's Client Gets Off
Easy

Washington, Ga, May 13.-The court
house of this county was packed with
spectators today from every county in
the state to hear brilliant ex-Candidate
Thos E. Watson in the defense of Bob
Cannon on a charge of murder. Some
weeks ago Cannon was charged with
whipping to death a negro convict named
Frank McCrary. 1t transpired that Nc
Crazy had been subject to fits, and by his
inability to work had so enraged the
guard that he dashed him numerically.
The negro did not have a whole patch
of skin on his back and shortly afterwards
died.
When the facts became known it re-
quired hard work on the part of cool
heads to prevent the lynching of Cannon.
He was indicted and at the trial today
found guilty of voluntary manslaughter
and sentenced to one year in the peni-
tertiary, or to pay fine of $500. 1t is
believed that had not Watson put up 50
eloquent a defense the sentence would
have been very severe. Feeling is high
here over what is thought to be an in
adequate sentence, and the threatened
tragedy of a few weeks ago may yet be
enacted. Watson is observing every pre-
caution to protect his client.

breaches in Dr. Kittridge s Church
New York, May 13-The Rev. DR..
John r. Paxton, former pastor of the
West Presbyterian church in Forty
second street, preached last night at the
Madison Ave. Reformed church by in
vitation of DR.. Abbott E. Kittridge and
many of his former parishiOners. Dr.
Paxton has been spending the past win
ter with his daughter at Washington,
occasionally preaching at the New YOrk
Avenue Presbyterian church and lee
turing under the auspices of the Sons of
the Revolution.
DR.. Paxton seems to have quite re-
covered from his recent illness, which
had enforced a vacation of considerable
duration from his pulpit duties. He
spoke last night very vigorously and ell
Oquently, his delivery being marked by
the magnetism which formerly attract
ed to him so many listeners during his
pastOrate in New York.
THE man." he said, 'whO can talk
by word or pen is greater than the
greatest in deeds. There are those who
rub the wet sponge over all the nliracu-
lOuS in Christ's history. The deeds of
our Lord they refuse to give credence
to- but before the talking Christ Oar
win and all infidelS uncover and call
him the greatest and wisest of men.
Greece and all the world produced
but one Homer. Young LOchinVar came
out from the west. He made but one
speech to five thousand men in Chicago.
He poised the silver lance and struck
the crown of gold and pOlIed six mil
lions of votes at the election"
