latter cut his throat with pocket

Ed Cliborne, who was shot ~ ice 10y
Tom Bellamy ia 1889 One shot
took effect in the shoulder aud the
other in the leg and CliborDe IS still
lame from the injury received.
Everybody remembers the double
killing in September 1898. Officers
Robt. West and VIM. b. Davis settled
a dispute with their pistols and both
were killed. Davis had been reported
for some violation of the rules and he
accused West of preferring the charge
He hunted West up and they met al
the l.. Il N. depot and Davis called
West around behind the depot to
have talk. The uext thing the by
ISLANDERS knew, desperate hand 10
hand conflict was in progress between
two dead game and equally well
armed men. Davis had the Slight
advantage, firing the first shot which
went through Vests heart, but even
as he fell West gave his antagonist a
death wound. Davis fired again but
the shot went wild. West died in
two minutes Davis lived two OF
three weeks but never had any chance
TO recover and suffered greatly before
he died.
The killing Of Henry Layne makes
the sixth death among the city peace
officers within thirty years. Still
there are brave men who are glad tc
get positions on the force and there
are many applicants for every vacancy
that occurs.

CnarlIe wheeler.s view

The New York Journal is interview.
ing the members of the Congress on
the currency and tariff question
Congressman Chas. X. Wheeler's
views accompanied by his picture, APP
peared one day last week as follows.
CHARLES X. WHEELER, Democrat,
1entucky.-I doubt if the present
tariff law will produce sufficient rev.
enue, but it can be easily amended
at the regular session of the Fifty.
fifth Congress so as to do so.
| believe in free trade pure and
simple, but recognizing the fact that
the Government must have revenue
to pay its legitimate expenses, as IA
necessary evil, | would support any
purely revenue tariff, but am opposed
to one single cent of protection for
projections sake.
presume that the members of the
Fifty fifth Congress representing
purely agricultural districts, like my
self, will give more attention to d
rectifcation of our vicious currency
system than they will to tinkering
with the tariff From actual obser-
walton and immediate contact with
the farming classes of the country,
am convinced that unless something
is done. and done quickly, we will
become nation of bankrupts, with a
coterie OF millionaires controlling the
Government.

THE DEAD OFFICER.

Policeman Henry II. Layne was
about 33 years of age. His widowed
mother lives at Fairview where Henry
was born and lived until about 1890.
He was an only son and of four sis
tiers only one-Mrs. Petrie, of Fair.
view-suTvives him to comfort the be,
reayed mother. Before coming TO
town Mr. Layne was the Democratic
committeeman in his precinct and
was young man liked by everybody
who knew him. Soon after coming
to this city he was elected apolice-
man and had filled that trying posi-
ton for more that six years. He was
as brave as lion and absolute
ly fearless in the discharge
Of his official duty. Rather impulsiye
at first, he soon gave the lawbreakers
to understand that he was bad man
to trihe with and he was universally
feared. OF late he had overcome
much of his hot.headeduess and was
cool and deliberate in all he did.
This accounted for the friendly way
in which he chose to reason with the
man who so cruelty slew him. The
universal verdict Of the public will be
that he was one of the hest officers
the city ever had.
Personally he was splendid spec
linen of physical strength and vigor.
lie always had pleasant word for
everybody and few young men in
the city hail warmer friends or more
of them, than Henry Layne
Officer Layne's body was taken TO
Fairview Sunday and the intermeDt
took place yesterday at 10 o'clock at
the Fairview cemetery. Among the
city officials who attended the funeral
were Mayor Dabney, Council
man Holland Chief Fritz and
Policemen Cravens, Lander, Smith
and Norman. Messrs. Sam Walker
Robt. Burrus, L. @. Cravens and
other friends of the dead man also
went.

rataIlsiss on rhe Force,

Within the memory Of many citi-
zens now living, there have been six
Hopkinsville policemen killed while
on duty and several others badly
( hurt.
Soon after the close of the war,
about 1865 or 1867, the first of these
tragedies occurred. Paul Fuller, while
on duty, was shot and killed by Jim
Parker, on Main street near Ninth.
A year or two later, about 1868,
Polio sman Davis Dunnivan was shot
and killed in street encounter by
Joe Williams and Bud Wilcox.
An Irish shoe dealer named Me
Garlic about 1869 shot and killed a
polieaman named Piercey, who came
here from Nashville, Tenn.
About the year 1873 desperate
fight occurred between Milton Young,

Layne was removed to Kitchen's I'M
def.akiug establishment and the cor
ouer summoned a jury to inquire into
the death Of Merritt by ten o'clock.
e. ID. Rawls, Max Raubold, Ned
Turner, Jas. Alensworth, Jr., e. H.
Brown and Andrew Payne, composed
the jury in the Merritt inquest and
the following verdict was returned:
eve the jury summoned by Cor
oner Allensworth TO look into the
cause Of the death of Walter Merritt,
killed March 10, '97, about $40 p. M,
find from the evidence that he came
to bis death, from the effects OF a
pistol shot wound, (the ball passing
through the apex Of the hearth in the
hands OF officers j. NJ. Cravens or JAS.
Norman. We further find that The
killing was in self defense, while in
the discharge of their duty, and there
fore exonerate them from all blame"
The verdict exonerated Officers era
vehs and Moorman from all blame,
holding the killing to have boon
iustifiable from every standpoint.
The following jury was impaneled
in the case of officer Layne, their yer.
dict being as here given-Andrew Bell,

"We the jury summoned by the

March l3 '97 about $40 p. M, find
from the evidence that he came to his
death from the effects of pistol shot
wound in the inner angle Of the orbit
of the left eye, in the hands Of Walter
Merritt"
Merritt's body was removed to the
home of his father, W. III. Merritt, on
the Greenville road near the old fair
grounds.
Merritt's remains. were inferred at
Hopewell cemetery Sunday afternoon
at o'clock. He was the only son Of
w. III. Merritt and was about rs or 30
years Of age and unmarried.
It is not known which officer killed
Merritt. John Feland, who saw il
all from the barbershop, says he is
certain Moorman's bullet did the
work as he took deliberate aim and
was as cool as a cucumber.
Coroner Allensworth on the other
hand says he believes from the evil
dence taken that Cravens killed Mer-
rift, as he was slightly in front of
Norman and had two chances to
Moorman's one, The last shot, prob
ably Cravens' second shot, he thinks
did the killing.
There was a general and unceremo-
NOUS exodus from the barbershop by
way of the back door when the bull
let's began to fly. John Mcpherson
was in chair and threw himself on
the floor. Lee Ellis lost no time in
vacating, as did all the BARRIERS. John
Feland alone remained in front to see
the finish of the fight.

EDITOR KENTUoKIAN:-
Dear Sir: The following communi
cation addressed to the Republican
County Committee was handed to its
chairman, w. I. Fowler, the 25th OF
last month. No action has been taken.
Mr.. Fowler himself says nothing
can now be done, but that we will
have to stand it, no difference if there
was a wrong done u.s."
| asked "The Hopkinsville Banner
to publish this paper BUT ITS editor
REFUSED. We believe the people, ano
particularly the Republican voters Of
Christian county, should understand
this matter, even should they have to
be reached through Democratic
press. Very Respectfully,

To the Republican Executive Com
mite of Christian County, Through
w. T. Fowler, Chairman:
GENTLEMEN
Seeking the nomination of the
Republican party AS its candidate for
office of Superintendent of Common
Schools at the ensuing election to be
held in November, l was induced to
submit my claims therefor to the Pri-
mary election held on Saturday the
Goth inst, held by the party to elect
suitable candidates for the various
county offices at said general election
This, was induced to do. for the
following reason: 1t was the method
selected by your committe to ascer
tain the free, fair untrammeled choice
of the people for said purpose.
With every assurance that said pri
mary would be honestly and fairly
conducted, to have zone otherwise
would have been an act of disloyalty
on my part to my party.
In the desire of harmony no true
Republican would refuse to abide by
any fair means of arriving at the real
choice of his party nor would he ac-
cept any decision with regard thereto
that was dishonesty secured.
Had the pledges of the committee
been redeemed should have no oc-
casion to further trouble you; but
methods were adopted and purposes
carried out by the agents appointed
to hold said primaries that were sub
yersive of the sentiments of the Re
publican voters of Christian county
and the result of which falsifies every
pledge Of honesty made by your
committee.
have already in convention as
sembled at the court house at Hop
kinsville on the % inst. specially
pointed out to you things of which
you should have taken cognizance.
The committee saw fit to ignore the
said charges. Whether too cowardly
to do the right, or whether by silence
it was meant to indorse the illegal
and dishonest and dirty work accom-
plished at the primary and thus turn
the party over to the Ring of would
be bosses that. has sought for years to
stife public sentiment, leave for an.
umpire indeed and ffair-minded public
to Judge.
The MISUNDERSTANDING referred TO
were SO boldly done and SO patsnt to
every beholder that il given an oTppor
tuliity can easily furnish proof that
will oyerwhelm the perpetrators WITH
shame asked this in the convention,
I again ask it Of your Committee. |
Hopkinsville Kentuckian. [volume] (Hopkinsville, Ky.) 1889-1918, 1897-03-16

demand that you produce the Primary
Polls and from their own pages these
charges will stand proven, and from
those pages my demands will be vim
Dictated.
If you still refuse to look at the
dirty work when pointed out on your
own books, where shall | turn for
relief?
| demand that you at once take
steps to have this matter fairly and
honestly investigated. If you do not,
|, as Republican, shall take steps to
set this matter right before the Re-
publicans of Christian county.
Very Respectfully,
WILLIAM Robinson.
