1t is stated by Senator Martins friends,
anent the mention Of his name in con-
nection with the Presidency four years
hence, that even If not considered I'M
wise the DISTINGUISHED Virginian would
not permit the use OF his name. The
same is said for Senator Daniel in like
connection. Washington statesmen OF
prominence however. are seriously con-

and Huntsville had q leader OF her ''4''
in those days as che has OF her "4OO''
today. This young lady was Miss Kate
Benton. All the citizens knew her as
"beautiful Katie" and but one man
ever criticised her beauty. That man
was Davis aud this trifling offense
led to q murder that landed him in
prl. on, and gave origin to the Texas
peoiteptiary.
Davis had q studio in Huntsville
and Miss Benton vas one of his best
customers. The modern styles Of
photography we're unknown in those
days and even the old tin types were
not In use. At best a very poor picture
could be taken on metal with kind of
stain. Davis made one of these for
Miss Benton and he never made An.
other. Miss Benton didn's think the
picture was pretty and told him so.
Davis was annoyed and seeing that no
explanation would satisfy her remark
ed that no man could make a pretty
picture of her.
She was insulUed and left the studio
In rage. Her pride wounded to the
core, she went to- her brother
and told him of the outrage" With
rifle in hand young Benton started out
TO svenge the sisters wrongs. Davis was
evidently expecting him, however, and
when Benton entered the door Davis
shot him down.
The court declared Davis guilty Of
murder and sentenced him to twenty
years in prison. just the year before
the state legislature designated Hunts
Vile as the site Of the state peniten-
tiary, and Davis was locked in as coon
as the prison was completed.
