TRIAL OF PERRY is
SECOND OF WEEK,
Charged With Killing David
Kennedy.
SELF DEFENSE WAS ALLEGED
BY Defendant, Luke Perry, IN the Trial
Case Is Entered Upon Tuesday and
Consumed Entire Day-Other Case
Against Him.

Luke Perry, a we'll known young
farmer of Sumter, living in the FIT
teenth district, faced jury in superior
court Tuesday morning upon an indict-
ment charging murder, growing out of
the killing of Dave Kennedy, a neigh
Dor, some time in July.
The defendant does not deny the
killing, but alleges that the shot was
fired in self-defense.
Full details of the homicide were
published in the Times. Recorder at
the time, when Mr.. Perry, upon the
preliminary trial before Judge Grip,
was discharged from custody
The grand jury, however, after q
more thorough investigation of the
homicide returned an indictment for
murder, and this case was on trial. An
other bill was returned against Perry
for alleged attack upon Mrs. Kennedy
while in delicate condition.
The murder charge was first entered
upon Tuesday morning
The jury was made up of Messrs r.
R. Arlington, Jesse G.. Aycock, w W.
DAYS., r A. Crutchfield, j. FL. Phil
lips, J. NJ Martin, T. @ Airline, T. f.
r ,bbins, E. NJ, Dear, G, IT. Hill, J
G. Nicholson and W. W. Collins.
Mr.. Perry, with his wife, occupied
seats in the centre of the courtroom
with his attorneys, Williams & Har-
per and BlaIock & Cobb Solicitors
Hudson and Fort represented the side
of the state.
From the evidence it appears that
Kennedy, incensed at language alleged
to have been used to his wife by Perry,
went armed to find the defendant and
confront him with the charge. He met
Perry as the latter was returning home
from his work
Perry was accompanied by his broth
er and one or two others He was in
his shirtsleeves.
After one or two remarks to Arthur
Perry regarding buggy it is alleged
that Kennedy addressed Luke Perry,
who stoutly denied the charges OF
misconduct made. Kennedy, so the
witnesses testified, then drew his pis-
toll and snapped it at Perry.
Perry, who had previously been
warned that Kennedy had made threats
and was seeking him then drew his
pistol and fired at Kennedy.
This, in substance, was the evidence
adduced at the preliminary trial, and
was largely substantiated by the de-
PENDANTS witnesses yesterday. Six OF
eight witnesses testified for the state.
which closed it's case at noon, when the
defense had it's inning.
The alleged dying declaration oi
Kennedy, as made to one of the state e
witnesses, was listened to with Interest
by spectators.
The argument of counsel consumed
the greater part of the afternoon SIS
sion and it was near O'Clock ere the
case went to the jury. Shortly after 6
o'clock verdict of acquittal was found.
and thus this case of much interest
came to finish.
The Wright murder case will proba.
bly, be taken up today.

1T is MORE GOOD LUCK THAN
GOOD MANAGEMENT THAT
DOZENS ARE NOT NOW
AFFLICTED WITH THE
MALADY.

A great deal of uneasiness is being
felt on account of the cases of small
pox that have appeared at different
times within the summer just past.
1t is we'll known fact that this con-
tagion is considered winter disease
and is not hard to control during the
summer months. 1t is talked that
the cases so far have been looked af-
ter in a careless manner, TO say the
least. At the present time Arthur Nc
Cormick is afflicted with the malady.
He lives on Monroe street near Jack
son, and for several days after the
case had developed people were al
lowed to go along within few feet
1t is the general opinion that when
winter comes the disease will become
epidemic unless greater care is taken.
1t is said that man living in the old
candy factory at the corner of Jack
son street and Cherry avenue, think
ing he had fever, went to his former
home in Barbour county and later de-
veloped a case of smallpox.
Something must be done and will
be done. Judge John W. Mason and
a number of other citizens of the city
and county put forth the idea of erect
ing a retention hospital for persons
afflicted with conta Sious diseases. The
county will bear part of the expense
The Fairmont West Virginian. (Fairmont, W. Va.) 1904-1914, 1904-09-14
There is DANGER OF
A SMALLPOX EPIDEMIC

and the city part. Committees have
been appointed and have had several
meetings. DR.. c. o. Henry represents
the county; Drs. Hall and Howard the
city, and Drs. Mcdonald, Hill and
Sands the Marion County Medical AS
sociation. The last meeting of the
committees was held last week. The
intention is to find a suitable location
and erect a building to be paid for by
popular subscription and make it a
desirabl place to be instead of a place
to@be dreaded like the present pest
house. A man who is immune to
smallpox and most of our other con
tagions will be hired to stay there and
take care Of the patients. At present
no one seems to be willing to be
taken to the pest house but when
there is decent and respectable
house to live in there will be no
trouble in obtaining the consent of
the persons afflicted.
The promoters of the scheme are de-
termined to make it go and it will
surely be great blessing to the city
and county. It will take money but
the people can be depended upon to
give their support to such com
mendable undertaking. The person
who has never been placed under
quarantine does not know how to ap-
preciate what an excellent thing this
will be but those who have been shut
away from the outside world for weeks
know the real significance of the un-
dertaking. Every one should consider
it his duty to help the enterprise along
for no one is assured that he will not
be the first to be benefited by it.
