Col. Robert Parrish Dead

The community OF Lexington
was greatly shocked by the an
nouncement Thursday morning
that Col. Robert L. Parrish had
passed away the night previous,
having been operated upon for
appendicitis at the G. d o. Hos
pital at Clifton Forge.
Col Parrish was q distin guished
lawyer and an influential citizen
of the western portion of Virginin.
His commanding position as at
torney for many corporations,
among which was the Chesapeake
d Ohio railroad, often brought him
to Lexington in contrOverred rail
road matters, and he will be pleas
antly remembered here Ms Il most
clever, genial and courtly gentle
man, and feel that his death is n
distinct loss.
Col. Parrish lived in CovingtOn,
where he owned one OF the most
palatial residences in the western
portion of Virginia. For 20 years
he filled the office Of common
wealth attorney Of Allegheny
county, and for a long series OF
years had been a member of the
Boz I'd ofVisitors of the University
of Virginia. He was a native of
Caroline county, 55 years of age,
served in the Confederate army,
and rose to the rank of colonel for
gallantry before the tragedy was
over.
Gel. Parrish's wife was Miss
Margaret Carr of Front Royal, Va.
and preceded her distinguished
husband to the grave by about two
wears from the same dreaded dis
ease. Two sons survive, Robert
L. Parrish, Jr., of Covington, Va,
and DR.. Percy Parrish of Low
Moor, Va. The first-named of
these young men was Colone!
Parrish's law partner, and at the
time of the unexpected death was
accompanying Judge Letcher in
his visit to the Yellowstone Ma
tional Park. 1t was with difficulty
that he could be reach, d, but vas
found within the past day or two
at Denver and was present today
at the funeral services. Cclonel
Parrish's remains were intrrrrd at
Covington this evening at 81
O'Clock.

Hon. HI. st. G. Tucker Addressed
Indiana Bar Association


Hon. H. st. G. Tucker Addressed
Indiana Bar Association
The Hon. II. St. George TucNe
was the principal speaker Mt the
meeting of the Indiana BarAssocia-
ton held at Fort Wayne. Ind, last
week. The Fort Wayne News OF
Thursday said of Mr.. fuckers al
dress:
"The convention chief Grafton
was delivered by the Hon. Harry
St. George Tucker of Lexington
Virginia. Mr.. Tucker is a tall,
broad shouldered, handsome man
of perhaps forty-fivs or fifty, and
is erect in stature. looking every
inch the high-bred gentleman and
thinker. The subject matter was
of high oratorical order. The
theme was 'Cival Liberty in the
United States and the Principal
Countries of the World.
"The address was frequently In
terrupted by applause and when
the orator had concluded. there
was a spontaneous fash of hand
:lapping which clearly showed the
high tension of pleasure to when
the speaker had brought his con
stantly delighted audience. A vote
of thanks was rendered him with
unanimous vigor."
Editorially the News said: "The
address yesterday of Mr.. Harry
St. George Tucker was superb In
thought and magnificent in treat
ment. These are words that to
many who did not hear the
grafton may seem extravaganza. 1t
will not strike many of those who
were present as an over statement
Mr.. Tucker discussed rather trite
subject with a purity and force
of literary style, together with a
wealth of information which was
impressed upon the highly intel
lectual audience. The address rang
with the same true Americanism
which one can imagine made
Patrick Henry's ringing apostro-
phe to civil liberty fire the heart
of his compatriots in Virginia,
from which State Mr.. Tucker halls.
The State Bar Association is to be
thanked as we'll as congratulated
upon bringing SO eloquent and
scholarly production within reach
of its members and of the bar of
Fort Wayne. To the high art of
litarary masterpiece, it added the
personal magnetism of charm OF
voice and personal appearance.
The people of Fort Wayne, fortu-
nate enough to have heard the
speaker. will remember the con-
vention, not by what it does rela-
tive to tie forms and organization
of courts. but by Its address by
Mr.. Tucker"

of New Workers have been doing Lon

Charles A. Stadler of New York City.
In company with General Edmund
Hayes and Mrs. Hayes they visited the
houses of Parliament a few days ago.
over which they were shown by Aus
ten Chamberlain, the Chancellor of the
Exchkquer. They afterward dined with
that gentleman and several of his po-
litical friends at one of the fashionable
West End hotels. Messrs. Chase and
Stadler are taking an intelligent inter-
est in the operations of the London
County Council and they have just in
spected the area which that body has
cleared for the great new thoroughfare
from Holborn to the Strand. They will
be in London for a month and then go
north to see the Scottish Highlands.

that II granted a months time he
might be able to prove to the court that
the defendant was innocent. If the de-
fendant were resentenced to be hanged,
Ferral said that he would apply to the
Governor to have the sentence COM
muted to Imprisonment for life and
when the time came to prove fully the
defendants innocence the Governor
would be asked to grant him a free
pardon.
The Judge declined to continue the
matter for month, but said he had
no objection to a continuance of two
weeks.
