A DRAMATIC SCENE.
Reverend Murderer Offers a
Fervent Pray err In Court.
The Case of the Mclean County
Preacher is Called at
Calhoun.

Calhoun, KY, Sept. 23.-The case
of the w. w. Armer, charged with
the murder of his son, Marvin, last
May, one of the most noted cases
ever recorded in this section, will
be called 10 the Calhoun circuit
court today. The trial was set for
yesterday, but the defense was not
ready and begged for an extension
of time, and the court named today,
when it is said, all parties will be
ready to enter trial. Heretofore it
was generally conceded by the peo-
pie that death sentence awaited
him, but since the heartrendlng
scenes that were witnessed in the
court room Wednesday, when the
prisoner was brought in it is doubt
full if he is convicted, as a great
deal of public sentiment has been
raised in the prisoner favor.
The family of the Rev Armer
was in the court room when he was
led to the bar of justice. He kissed
and cried over his wife aud child
rem aud Rugged his little babe, who
had been born since his imprison
ment, and which he had never seen,
to his bosom. With tears falling
fast he pressed the little body tohis
face and then knelt and prayed for
forgiveness of his own sins. for the
court and for the people. 1t is said
there was not one il the ilouse that
was not moved by this action, and
the court room was full of anxious
people. AZ the conclusion of the
prayer Armer returned to Jail to
today for trial. His family
will be near him all during the
trial, and his brother is present,
and says be will do all he can for
bis release, but asks nothing but
justice at the end of the law.
After this prayer had been offered
Commemorative Attorney Ringo
stated that there would be 20
chance to convict him, as he could
not ask the jury to hang him under
the circumstances IN view of what
will almost certainly be the proof.
1t is a most remarkable case, and
is being watched with interest by
people from far and near. The
Rev. Armer has been preaching
the gospel for many years, but it is
said the murder of his son was in
cold blood.
