recorded volume, although the paper
was published about twenty years in
the eighteenth century, before regular
files Of the paper were kept. The

learn that it has made decided progress
in its business department during recent
years. For many years, in the early
history of the State, it was the official

animated. The Norfolk steamer Wash
ington on her way up this morning ran
into a snow squat when she entered the
river. A three-masted schooner loaded
with lumber arrived up at an early
hour this morning and anchored oil this

Story of the Crime.

It was 2:3O o'clock on the morning of October F, 1909, when o'Brien and Whit ney entered the home of A. B. Chinn, wealthy merchant and ex-Confederate SOL dierL and demanded that the old gentle man produce his money. Their voices awakened Mrs. Chinn, who screamed. Asa Chinn had returned from dance only a short time before and had not fallen asleep. He made his way to the door of his parents room, but one of the burglars saw him and they began shoot ing. Asa Chinn also opened fire. The elder Chinn had raised up and was sit- ting on the side of his bed. He was shot through the body. The boys then ran from the room, over the form of Asa Chinn, who had also been shot. and was lying on the floor using his revolver as best he could. Whitney was wounded In the left knee. The elder Chinn. mortally wounded, attempted to assist his son in the battle in the hallway and got up out of bed and went to the door, where he dropped dead.
 The boys were captured few days later near here but owing to the runOrs of .fynching were removed to Louisville for safekeeping. O'Brien was IS years old and his home was in Memphis, Tenn. Earl Whitney, one year his senior, has relatives in Nashville.
