Grand Jury Protests Against Governo

Requisltion.
Grand Jury Protests Against Governo
sTRAWs ON TIE COLOR LINE

The following from the Newport In
dependent throws considerable light
on the Lee King case;
Governor Davis has brought down
upon his head the Indignation of the
good people OF Boone county.
Several days ago he issued his war
rant of arrest for Wes Hudson,
Harrison young man. Bill Baker and
Clyde Elliott. upon the requisition Of
the governor of Missouri fer alleged
connection with the killing of a bar
tender, Henry Barehman cn December
%, at the State Line saloon, Just across
the line in TaneE county, Missouri,
near Omaha, Boone county. None Of
them have been apprehended. At the
same time he denied q warrant Of ar
rest fer Lee King, who had been ar
rested and was in Jail at his home at
Harrison awaiting requisition rom
Missouri When Governor Davis re-
ceived the -seqnfsition from Governor
Docllery Of Missouri he endorsed it
as follows.
"RequisItioH granted for al except
King, who is under Indictment in
Boone county for a felony and who will
be extradited as soon as Arkansas au-
thorities are through With him.
"JEFF DAVIS. Governor"
The statement by Governor Davis
that King is under Indictment in Baone
county is without foundation, as Cir
cult Clerk B. T. McAIahon says there
is no charge pending against him in
Boone county.
The Boone county grand jury pre-
pared the following protest:
Harrison, Ark, Jan. IS, 1904.
"Whereas, Lee King. a citizen of
this, Boone, county, Arkansas, is charg-
ed with the crime Of murder in the first
degree in our neighboring county of
Taney, in cur neighboring state of
Missouri.
"Whereas, 1t has cone 20 eur knowl-
edge that the governor of Missouri mas
made a requisiti2N upon the governor
of Arkansas for the surrender OF said
King to the authorities Of the said
state fer trial upon the said charge.
"Whereas. We are informed that
Governor Davis has. refused to honor
said requisition of the governor OF
Missouri and has ordered the release
of said King, who was in the custody
of officers Of this county.
"Now, therefore, we. members OF
the grand jury now in session for the
coed county of Boone. hereby respect
fully protest against said action OF
Governor Davis and as citizens, low
ing the good name of our county and
state, express our sense Of shame and
humiliation on account of said action
ca the part Of Governor Davis.

Judge Woods life has been passed in
respect for the law, and he has never
felt himself wiser than the law. His
record warrants me In saving that as
governor he would respect the rights
OF every one in Arkansas, as fixed by
law, whether running a saloon or con-

ed Rev. w. D. Buckner. who led in an
eloquent prayer. Hon. S, NJ. Taylor

retary.
In accepting the gayel Mr.. Taylor
said the meeting was called for god
government, and for the vindication Of
the great commonwealth of Arkansas.
He was glad SO many men were assem-
bled and he believed the time had
come when jefferson county should
take her place amzng,t those who were
rising up to overthrow the demagogue
and his misrll.e. And there We're 9th
ers, not voters, who We're vitality in
terested in the meeting. The wives
and daughters were interested in the
faiir 4a&ae of Arkansas. He hoped the

choose for herself a man whose fair
name was without blemish and one III
whose character the state might feel
justly proud.
TIE temporary officers We're mace
permanent. The reporters of the city
papers were elected assistant secre-
taries.
The chairman was authorized to ap-
point ten gentlemen to act as an exec
ullN9 COnlnllllee.
CHANCELLOR. Elliott then read a letter
from Judge A. B. Grace saying he
could not be with the club in person
but was thoroughly in sympathy with
the meeting.
1t was lnen Announced that there
were over zoe members = the club al
rea3y and those who We're present and
had not had the chance to sign the
.embership rolls were invited to come
forward to the clerks desk and sign.
Fully fifty men took advantage of the
opportunity. AS eacn new member ct
the club signed, he was greeted with
cheers
Many Wood buttons We're also dis
tributed, each member of the club be-
ing requested to wear one.
In introducing the name of Carroll
D. Wood as Jefferson county's choice
for governor. Mr. Taylor said that
some years agc. he had the honor Of
pla icing Carroll D. " ood in nomination
for associate justice of the supreme
coaIt and for nearly eight years Judge
Wood had been in the fmelight OF
