attorneys general, and within ths
next thirty-six hours he author
lied the correspondent of th(
Commercial Appeal to say thai
he would not be a candidate.
1t was said in the same connec-
ton that Davis would support
Humphries for attorney-general
in 1904.
Later developments have set
the politicians to talking, and it
is said now that the governor will
give whatever strength he may
have to Bourland. 1t is surmised
that he regards Washington
county, the home of Mr., Hum
phries, as strictly Berry territory,
and will not waste any effort On
candidates from that locality.
Mr.. HUMPHREYS will probably
make some inquiry concerning
Bourland's candidacy and will
possibly ge given an evasive
answer. The fact remains that
Bourland has been selected by
5he powers that be for the place
)r he would not have made the
announcement he did before
eaving this city. - Arkansas

mitting his guilt there was abso-
lutely no defense for them to
make and he was sentenced to
hang on the date stated above.
The statute on murder, Mr..
Rogers says, states that a plea of
guilty may be entered but jury
must declare it's degree, and fur
ther, that no provision for plea
of guilty for any crime except
murder is mentioned, but section
2229, among. ..other things, says:
"And in all cases Of Judgment on
confession the court shall assess
and declare the punishment and
render judgment accordingly"
Gov. Davis announces that he
will lay the matter before the
supreme court, but Mr.. Rogers
says he does not understand how
this can be brought about except
by an appeal.
This instance is probably the |
first in the criminal annals of the
state where plea of guilty has
been entered in a rape case.

POLITICS ABOUT THE CAPITOL.

Just prior to the opening Of the
last state campaign Hon. Hadder
Humphries came to this city and
announced that he would be a
candidate for Encouragement to
succeed General Murphy, who
was then serving his first term.
It was generally understood
that he had received considerable
encouragement from the friends
Of Gov. Davis and from the gov
ernor himself.
The latter was understood to be
displeased with General Murphy
because the latter was not in har-
mony with some Of his views on
matters where the state adminis-
tration was concerned, Murphy
having acted on his own judg-
ment, and showing conclusively
that he only recognized the peo-
pie as having the right to dictate
to him.
When it became rumored that
Humpbries was to take the stump
against Murphy the latter was
urged to run for governor against
Davis, and it is known that he
had the matter under serious
consideration.
In truth we believe that il
Humphries had made the race
against Murphy the latter would
have entered the race for gov
ernor, and as Murphy is gener-
ally conceded to be one of the
strongest men in the state on the
stump, it was not unlikely that
interesting times were in store TO-
the people.
But strange thing happened
in . day,
On the first day Of September
Mr., Humphries, in an interview
in the Democrat, an
himself a candidate for

A LEGAL QUESTION.
Gov. Davis and a Prosecuting Attorney
Have Different Views.

Can a man hang on the plea OF
guilty in rape case?
This is a much -mooted question
between Gov. Jeff Davis on one
side and Prosecuting Attorney
Robert L. Rogers of the Fifteenth
judicial district on the other. The
executive takes the ground that
where the plea of guilty is enter
ed in a rape case, capital punish
ment cannot be assessed the same
as in murder cases of the first de-
gree. On the other hand Mr..
Rogers says there is absolutely
nothing in the statute which pre-
vents the death sentence.
Over this question Mr.. Rogers
is in the city to present his side
Of the case to Gov. Davis. The
latter, however, says he will refer
the matter to the supreme court
and will not interfere unless that
body refuses to act. He want
them to act on the legality Of the
conviction, and Attorney Gener-
al Murphy will not be consulted
in the premises whatever.
The case in question is that of
Hall Malone, a negro who entered
a plea of guilty at Van Buren, on
20 for an ofiense COM
mitted September 5, His crime
was a most dastardly one, the
victim being a 1e-year-old mar
ried woman Of feeble mind, and
the feeling in Crawford county
ran high against the negro. Mr..
Rogers states that mobs were
formed in Van Buren, and it was
only through the effective spirit
ing away of Malone that lynching
was prevented. A special term
Of the court was called to try the
negro, at which Mr.. Rogers in
sisted that a jury be empaneled
or the case, but was convinced
hat it wasnot necessary by Judge
Jeptha H. Evans. Malone ad-
nitted his guilt and was sentenced |
o hang November 7. When
Jov. Davis learned the facts in
he case he sent for a complete
in the case, and after
eviewing it announced the stand
le would take, basing such action
N common law.
"The citizens of Crawford coun-
y are highly incensed," said Mr..
Rogers to q Democrat represent
tive, "and have no hesitancy
4 saying that Malone will be
lobbed if he is not hanged ac-
ording to law"
The crime for which Malone
as sentenced was assault on
