Paducah, KY, February 21.-
All day coal wagons have been
busy hauling coal by special per-

famine developed in Paducah the
latter part of the week because
the railroads could not handle
the coal consigned into Paducah,
and, as a result, Saturday night
found all dealers without coal
and hundreds of orders ahead,
with people actually, in many
instances, suffering. Today some

From Webster County for the Witherspoon
Trial. Which Began at Ten O'clock
Monday Morning.

The trial of Elmer Witherspoon
who is charged with killing Jesse
Burton at this place last July,
began at jacksonville Monday.

given the case in the trial of Mr..

TWENTY
ONE YEARS
Was the Verdict in the Case of the
Commonwealth Against J.
b. Indie.
HOW THE JURY STOOD.

The jury in the case Of the
Commonwealth against j. b.
Indie, who has been on trial at
jacksonville for several days
charged with completely in
the killing of Jesse Burton at q
picnic here on July 4th last,
brought in verdict Monday
morning and found the prisoner
guilty, fixing his punishment at
q years in the penitentiary.
This trial has been attended by
large number Of people with
intense interest. The courthouse
was not large enough TO contain
them and great many were un-
able to find standing room. The
majority of the people who heard
all of the testimony we're of the
opinion that the verdict would
be for manslaughter, while some
predicted Il life sentence, others
hung jury. But from the fact
that Indie was an officer and on
account of no previous malice it
was not thought that verdict
for degree greater than volun-
tary manslaughter could he
brought.
Speeches were made III the fol-
lowing order: j. w. Lockett.
Jr., Ruby Laffoon, Q. j. Waddill,
Jno. W. Lockett, ST., and Jno.
l.. Grayot. The speaking began
Friday morning and was conclud-
ed Saturday afternoon at3 o'clock
after which the jury retired for
deliberation. 1t is reported that
the jury on first poll stood nine
for life sentence, two for 81
years and one For five years and
that they stood that way until
Monday morning, when upon re-
considering the matter the ver-
dict of 81 years was agreed upon.
In conversation with an Earl
ington man Tuesday Indie said:
ST will not ask for new trial,
but will 60 to the penitentlary

there will be a contest in the convention
Thursday at Wilkesboro over the seating
OF the delegates The Wilkes county con-
vCntion comes off Monday and the ru-
ncrs are that bloodshed is feared. In
the memory of the Oldest inhabitant of
Wilkes there has never been such a con-
test as is being waged there. The air
is red with oaths, and the chances favor
Blackburn. Blackburn himself has been
on the ground this week conducting his
campaign in the corner counties. Messen-
GerG have been going from his Office in
W;lkesboro every hour to his friends in
Ashe and Watauga where the ground will
be holly contested.
II the midst of the fight Mr.. Linney
is sorely bereaved by the loss OF his ex-
cellent wife and his forces have been
transferred to Price, Marshall and Nc
Neill in the several counties for the pres
ent. The fact that horses are being traded
in the middle of the stream IS an eVi-
dence of weakness on the part of the
enemies of Blackburn, yet it is impossi-
Bile at this time to tell what will be the
outcome of the convention. One of the
strongest features of the contest is that
the Democrats of the district all believe
that Blackburn is the easiest man to
beat, yet they are so anxious to see him
hunilated that they want to see him Sc
verely beaten in Wilkesboro Thursday.
The situation in nutshell is that Linney
is the choice of the rank and file of the
Republicans of the district, but the pie
brigade, who are the convention goers
are for Blackburn.
