FOR LIFE.
William Sampson Must Spend
the Remainder of His
Life in Prison.

eve the jury find the defendant
guilty of murder, and fix his punish
ment at confinement In the State pen
itentiary for life."
These were the words that broke
the silence In a crowded court room
Tuesday, and sealed the fate OF Will
liam Sampson, the expectant and
anxious prisoner, who on last Christ
mas eve at country dance shot to
death old man Geo. Cox. The con.
v;cted man was perfectly calm, and
showed no signs OF excitement when
the jury's verdict was returned. The
crime for which Sampson must serve
the remainder ofhis natural lite in the
State prison Is the most da stardly
murder of an inoffensive old man.
The proof heard on the trial of the
case was to the effect that quite a
number OF young people, including
Sampson, had assem- bled at the home
Of Tom Kennedy, a son.in-law OF
Cox, on Christmas eve, and engaged
in dancing. Sampson, as well as
several others, imbibed freely OF red
liquor, and Sampson seems to have
become intoxicated to such an extent
that none of the ladies would dance
with him. This greatly angered
him, and he determined to break up
the entertainment. He demanded
that the proceedings stop at once, bat
the young folks disregarded him and
continued their merriment. Samp-
son left the room, but returned In a
few moments with a pistol, and with
an oath he said he was going to break
up the dance right now; at the same
time he drew the pistol and shot Cox
through the neck. killing him almost
instantly. Sampson claimed that
the gun was accidentally discharged,
and that he had no intention Of hurt
ing anyone, but the proof was over.
whelming, and it Is reported that ten
OF the jurors favored the death pen
atty.
A stay or suspension of judgment
has been granted, pending a hearing
of the case In the Court OF Appeals.

ANOTHER HOMICIDE,
George Reddish Meets Death
at the Hands of his
Step Son.
Double Darrell Shotgun the
Weapon used With Dead

The serenity OF the usually quite
neighborhood of Horton was disturb
ei late Monday afternoon when Luth-
er Galley a thirteen year old boy dis
charged the contents Of loaded shot

ing him instantly.
Reddish has had long and varied
career OF which many people OF the
county are more or less familiar.
Several years ago he married sec
opd wife, the mother of Galley, since
which time each OF them have sued
the other suit a number OF times for
divorce, the last having been be-
gan by the deceased and Is yet In the
courts. Mrs. Reddish owned a small
farm one which she lived and George
had planted on the farm few acres OF
corn, but afterwards abandoned 1t and
declared his intention to see that Mrs.
Reddish or her son Luther had moth
ing to do with 1t. So Monday even
Ing George went over to the field and
found the woman at work replanting
the corn. He promptly presented his
weapons, a pistol and an ak, and de-
manded that she leaves the field,
which she did, and George followed her
toward the mouse. On the way from
the field the boy. Luther, came on
the scene and at sight of him, Reddish
became greatly enraged and swore
that he would kill him. With a
horse pistol In one hand and double
bladed ak In the other, he chased the
the boy to the house where the boy
procured a gun leveled 1t on him and
demanded him to advance no further
Reddish continued to advance and the
boy fired the full contents of the gun
into his face, from which he died al
most Instantly
An inquest was held Tuesday and
the Gally boy brought to Hartford

hearing the evidence declined to In

been established to the satisfaction Of
the jury. Same was reported to the
court, and the boy OF tender years was
discharged.

CHEATS THE GALLONS.
Verona Flener Ends His Exist
ence in the Morgan
town Jail.

Verona Flener, who was confined
in the Morgantown jail under a
death sentence, and whose day of ex-
ecution was nearly at hand, ended
his existence Wednesday night by
hanging himself to a projecting iron
bar In his cell.
Everything had been removed from
the cell except cot on which .Flener
slept and 1t was from this that he
procured the fiber that bound his
neck to the projecting spar aud chok-
ed him to death. He escaped the
gallows but two days, for he would
have been executed to day In compli-
ance with the courts decree If he had
not taken his own lie In advance.
The crime for which he was SEN
fenced to legal execution on the gal
lows was the murder OF his wife last
July. He attempted to commit SUI
icide at the time, but was prevented
from doing so by his son. After tri-
al and conviction he became very
restless, and at times refused to take
any food, and protested his determin.
alton to starve to death, but this pro-
cess proved to slow, and more effect.

A PREACHER
Murders His Son Because He
Would Not Return
Home.
Rev. W. W. Armour is Now in
the Mclean County
Jail.


w. Armour, of Sacramento. was
brought here this morning and placed
in Jail to answer the charge OF muir
der, his victim being his son, Marvin
Armour, the crime having been COM
mitted yesterday evening about o
o'clock
Marvin Armour was seventeen
years old and had been subjected to
harsh and overbearing treatment by
his father for some time. Three
weeks ago he left home and went to
work for Eaves Barrett, farmer
about three miles from Sacramento.
The father served notice that he
would collect the sons wages, after
the boy had refused to return home.
This was satisfactory to the boy who
said he would work TOR nothing rath-
er than return home. Friday Armour
announced his intention OF bringing
his boy home by force II necessary
and late In the afternoon left town In
his buggy.
When he reached Mr.. Barrett's
place the boy had quit work and was
attending to chores about the barn.
His father told him ne had come for
him and when he replied that he
would not go Armour then picked up
the pole of wagon brake and struck
the boy over the head with 1t. The
boy fell to the ground and at the
same time called for help. The faith.
er silenced his cries with another
blow over the head, after which he
picked up the unconscious form and
dumped 1t In the front OF the buggy,
tying it down with the linen lap robe.
Mr.. Barrett was not present when the
assault took place though he was In
sight. He saw that the boy was bad
IL hurt and asked his father to take
him to the house, but he refused to
do so and drove of.
As soon as he could do so Mr.. Bar
rett saddled a horse and followed
Armour, reaching Sacramento about
the same time with him. He swore
out warrant 70. Armour on the
charge OF assault and battery. Ar
Robertson and Morehead were sum-
moned to attend the boy, but as soon
as they saw him, announced that
they would not be able to do anything
for him, anG he died between II and
IL o'clock.
Armour was kept under guard dur
Ing the whole night, and this morn
ing at O'Clock he was brought here
and placed In jail. At 8 O'Clock he
was brought out and taken before the
county Judge. The warrant for as
ssult and battery had been recalled
and another charging murder was
substituted.
Armour came from Illinois about
ten years ago, and has lived at Sac
ramento about four years. He Is a
Northern Methodist preacher, but has
never exercised his ministry except
as local preacher. Two years ago
he offered to join the Cumberland
Presbyterian church on condition
that that body would license him to
preach. This was refused and he re-
NAMED In his former connection.
Armour said that he did not intend
to kill the boy when he struck him,
but that he went after him determin.
ed to take him home, let 1t cost what
1t would. He said that he was re ady
to pay the penalty OF the crime, and
talked like he would make no de-
tense.
