TENNESSEE STATE NEWS.
George Davis Goes to the Pen.

George T. Davis, the former Hardin
county moonshiner, will have to serve
at least ten years in the penitentiary.
Last year he was sentenced to ten
years Imprisonment and to pay a fine
of $4,000 by the United States Court
as party to a conspiracy to kill
United States Deputy Marshal Garner.
The case was appealed to the Circuit
court of Appeals at Cincinnati, affirm
ed, reheard and affirmed again. Clerk
Clough of the court at Memphis, has
secured the mandate of the upper
court which is the final act save pro-
nouncing the sentence.
George Davis was probably second in
rank to Gus Thomas in the operation
of various wildcat stills near where
the Tennessee, Mississippi and Alaba-
ma State lines join, but both lived in
Tennessee, using the other two States
as a refuge from official pursuit
When ]. w. Brown was United
States marshal he organized a posse
to break up the gang. Thomas was
arrested but when Davis was called
upon to surrender he opened fire, kill
ing Deputy Garner and wounding
Marshal Brown. He was convicted in
1900 and given a sentence of ten
years Imprisonment and ordered to
pay a fine of $4,000. Davis is now
out on bond and will be sentenced
finally at the next term of the court at
Jackson.
