Reedy Vance Convicted.

A jury at Perryville returned verdict against Reedy Vance for the killing of a Chinaman at Little Rock of murder in the first degree, the penalty being death. On June f last Vance entered restaurant run by the Chinaman and ordered a bowl of soup. After eating the soup Vance walked out of the place without pay ing the nickel. The Chinaman fol- lowed him to the sidewalk demand ing pay, when Vance pulled pistol and shot him down. A change of venue was taken to Perry county, the defendant claiming that he could not get a fair trial in Pulaski county. The state proved that Vance shot the Chinaman without provocation. The defense set up the plea of self defense and insanity, the only evl- dence of justification being that of Vance himself Several witnesses testified to peculiarities of the ac- cused, and dispositions were read showing that his father was of un- sound mind in the latter years of his life and that an uncle had died in an asylum. A physician, an expert on insanity, testified that he had exam ined Vance shortly after the killing, and found him to be of sound mind. Vance was known to be bad man when drinking, having killed two men in Little Rock, besides engag- ing in numerous difficulties. He also served on the county farm for the illegal sale of liquor, but was pardoned on condition that he never again engage in the whisky business. He is a native of Mississippi, and Is highly connected. The case will be appealed to the supreme court, and should the verdict be approved, an effort will be made to have his sen tence commuted to life imprison- | ment.
