DAVIS LIE IS NAILED.
Grandfather OfRfaimed Child Says Gov. Davis Has Per-
 verted the Facts.


 phine at all except at the time of the injury, and when he died he died from a congestive chill. l deem 1t but fair to you for me to tell you that Governor Davis is very unfair to Judge Wood and the court in his statement of this case. The parents of Ester Warren and myself are all satisfied that the decision of the case by the supreme court was made fairly and honestly and according to the law and the evidence, and we could ask no more than that. 1 have known Carroll Wood all his life; I knew him when he was a boy, struggling for an education, and I know him to be good man. He was born in this (Ashley) county, and is a good friend of mine and I of his. 1 know he would have decided the case for us, if his conscience would have permitted; but he is too pure and honest a man to give a decision as a judge of the supreme court of our state merely on account of friendship.
 am supporting him in this race, and I think it would be very unfair for anyone to vote against him on account of his decision of this case. I consider it very un- fair for Governor Davis to resort to this method to try to preju- dice the minds of the people when he knows the case was de- cided according to the law and evidence by a good honest judge.
 Yours very sincerely,

Governor Seeks to Influence Your Passions and Prejudices by Per-

 I have read what Governor Davis says about this case in his speech, and I know he has per- verted the facts merely to try to influence your passions and pre- judices.
 Governor Davis says that the child had his left leg cut off at the knee. The truth is the child did not have it's leg cut off at all. He says the child lived two and a half years in the awful condi- ton described by him, and had to be kept under the influence of morphine, intimating that the child did not recover from the accident. The truth is the child s wounds healed up in few weeks, and he child got perfectly well, so far as physical pain was con- cerned, and did not have to be kept under the influence of mor-

Saturday morning between 10:30 and II o'clock William Orr, an old and respected resident of Alicia, was fatally shot by Edgar O'Neal, a prominent Lawrence county farmer. Death was not instantaneous, Orr surviving un- til 4 o'clock Sunday morning.
 The coroner of Lawrence coun- ty, Dr. McCarroll of Walnut RidEe, was summoned and an in fqagst held, the jury returning a verdict that the deceased, Vim. Orr, came to his death by a gum shot wound at the hands of Ed gar O'Neal.
 The testimony introduced was in many points conflicting and the fact that no one was near enough to overhear the words of dispute which preceded the shoot ing adds further complications. The story of the affair as gisted from the coroner's examination seems to have been as follows:
 O'Neal, who lives in Alicia and is a large land owner, had not been on good terms with Orr, a retired merchant of that town. The ennnity is of old standing. When Orr entered the postofflce Saturday morning he went out
Newport daily independent., 1904-03-21

with O'Neal and they became en- gagged in dispute on the porch of that building. They then started on and had gone ten or fifteen steps when Orr either grabbed the lapel of O'Neal's coat or struck him. The testi- mony of witnesses differs on this important point.
 O'Neal pulled a gun and shot Orr. There was testimony to show that the former placed the gun in his pocket while in the postoffice and kept his hand upon the weapon during the dispute. But this, too, is contradicted.
 Attorney s. D. Campbell and M. M. Stuckey were summoned Saturday afternoon to Alicia to act as counsel for O'Neal, who was committed by the coroner to Sheriff J. K. Mccall without bond. O'Neal was brought to Newport Monday accompanied by his attorneys to appear before Judge Fulkerson, and there de- termine the question of bail.
 William Orr was "A years of age, while O'Neal is about 45. The latter is probably six feet tall, fair complicated and well appearing man. He married the niece of the man he killed and the dispute was over family trouble.
 BAIL FIXED AT $5,000.
 Judge Fulkerson reached here from Batesville on the local, and after examing the testimony be- fore the coroner's jury, fixed lO'Neal's bond at $5,000.
