Congressman Richardson, and made her
debut in Washington society last winter
under the chaperonage of Mrs. John H.

JASPER
Jury Failed to Agree In BarrentIne
Casa Young Lawyers Success.


Jasper, September O.-(Special.)-Th
jury in the case of Connie Barrentine,
charged with the murder of Town Mar
shall Bennie Camak of Cordova on the
nth of last August, was discharged in
the circuit court here today having
failed to reach an agreement after being
out four days and nights.
Barrentine shot and killed Town Mar
shall Camak of Cordova while in Cordova
on an alleged drunken spree, and public
sentiment was very strong against him.
The law firms of Coleman & Bankhead,
Davis g. Ray and Leith & Sherer were
employed by the relatives of Camak to
assist Solicitors McCollom and Ferguson
In the prosecution, while Ernest Lacy, a
recent graduate of the law department
of the State university, was appointed by
Judge Coleman to represent the defen-
dant Mr.. Lacy's able defense of the pris-
oper is. generally agreed to be the cause
of the jury failing to find verdict. No
young lawyer ever handled a case more
ably than did Mr.. Lacy, and he has won
for himself an everlasting name In this
section, and has succeeded in somewhat
changing the tide Of public sentiment
that was so strong against Barrentine. 1t
rs now predicted that at the next trial the
defendant will stand a better cnance for
his life.
The republicans of Walker county held
a convention here today and nominated
John B. Shields of Jasper and the Rev.
8. r. Crumpton Of Cordova for repre-
sentatives in the next general assembly
The convention was purely a lilly
white" affair. A resolution looking to the
organization of a republican club IN
each precinct in the county was adopted.
