Colonel H. Clay King died few
days ago in the Tennessee state peni-
tentiary, where, since August II, 1899,
he had been serving a life sentence for
the murder of Attorney David H. Pos.
ton. on Main street, in Memphis.
The murder grew out Of litigation
against King by Poston for Mrs. Gid
con J. Pillow. wife of, the famous con-
federate officer and after whom Fort
Pillow was named. Both King and
Poston were widely known, the former
being the author Of Kings Digest Of
the Laws Of Tennessee"
Up to the final trial and sentencing
of King, factional feeling ran high, and
on the night the convicted man was
taken from Memphis to Nashville, Pos
toms friends chartered special train
and endeavored to overtake King, with
the avowpd purpose Of lynching him.
Kings wife and daughters were at
his bedside when the end came.
