Death Sentence for. First
PaAir- of Pembroke
Negroes.
jury Out Three Hours, After Nine Hours of
Argument Meets With
General Approval
CHAS. FINCH NOW ON TRIAL FOR HIS LIFE.

Atl0:3O o'clock Wednesday the
jury took the case in the trial of
George Holland and Richard
Carney, two of the Pembroke MUIR
derers, and at 100 p. m. the jury
returned a verdict OF death for both
defendants DR.. Jno. p. Bell was
foreman OF the Jury and the decision
was arrived at without any trouble
whatever. The jury organized
without delay and read over the in
structions carefully twice. a vote
was then taken by dividing in the
room and all stepped to the equity y
side Of the room. Then the jurors
decided to 60 to dinner and finish
their work afterwards. When they
met again, one ballot was sufficient
to decide the fate of the two men
and the verdict was soon brought
in. The prisoners received it with
out change of countenance.
The jurors were as follows: DR..
Jno. p. Bell, Thos. ]. Baynham,
Richard Ray, J. F. Boyd, Harvey
Hight, Andy Estes, Amos Robinson,
w. G. Word, Travis McCord, Mon
roe Billiard, ]. J. Bowen, Jno c.
White.
The verdict was received by the
large crowd in the court room with
out any demonstration.
The verdict was confidently ex-
pected and anything short of the
death sentence would have met with
strong popular disapproval. The
men convicted are two of the ring
leaders. Carney is the man who
fixed up the scheme of murder,
when he saw the stranger expose
his roll of money in the saloon. He
is a Tennessee negro, who has lived
in Pembroke about two years. He
is long, ungainly brown negro,
with a short beard over parts of his
face, He has the appearance of be-
ing a hardened criminal.
George Holland is low and very
black. He was raised by the Hol-
land family, or is a descendant OF
Holland slaves who were freed 20
years ago. He confessed that he
cut the victims throat after he had
been dubbed by Frank Nerriweth-
err, but on the stand he repudiated
his sworn confession.
The Speeches.
The argument in the case began
Tuesday morning. County Attor-
ney o. II. Anderson made the first
speech and was followed by Judge
c. H. Bush, also for the prosecution.
Both speeches were able arguments.
covering all the points in the bloody
tragedy. In the afternoon Frank
H. Ford, col, spoke for the defense.
His effort was creditable one, de-
livered in a style that showed him.
to be a speaker of no mean ability.
Judge James Breathltt came next
for the Commonwealth, with a pow
erfHl argument of two hours. Judgel
Breathitt is an orator and he was
at his best and his summing up of
the case and his closing appeal to
the Jury to enforce the law, called
forth the first and only demonstra-
ton of the trial. AS he concluded
there was ripple of applause,
which was quickly suppressed by
the officers of the court with threat
to clear the room.
At three o'clock Robt. N. Lander,
COL, began the closing speech |
for the prisoners in an argument
that reflected great credit upon |
him. With but little in his case
and without the privilege of enter
ing even an appeal for mercy, he
was compelled to rely upon the

fimsy alibi for a defense. Under
the circumstances he made a strong
presentation of the case and plead
ed with much force for at least a
life sentence for his doomed clients.
Wednesday morning Common
wealth 5 Attorney Smith closed for
the State in the first speech of mis- Of
fetal career. Mr.. Smith has been
county attorney Of Trigg county
and his experience enabled him to
handle the case with the skill of
veteran. He reviewed the testimo-
ny in every detail, eloquently wove
about the defendants The chain of
evidence that left no doubt of their
guilt and closed with an earnest
and powerful appeal that the jurors
might themselves stand the trial of
their manhood and good citizenship
by voting as one man to enforce the
law to its fullest extent. It was a
fine speech and the eloquent COM
monwealth's attorney made a most
favorable impression upon all who
heard him.
Finch Comes Next
The case of Charles Finch and
Ed Moseley was called next, but
Attorney John Feland, who is de-
tending them, changed his plans
and demanded separate trials for
them, and Charles Finch was put
on trial. No jurors were present
and court had to adjourn until this
morning. VIM. Hays was appoint.
ed deputy sheriff and sent to the
country to summons a panel,
The court announced that the
trial of Finch would be the last one
entered into at the special term of
court.
The postPonement of the other six
cases is causing much dissatisfac-
tion. 1t was believed that the en-.
tire gang would be given a speedy
trial and the majesty of the law up
held, swiftly and effectually.
Whether the mob sentiment in the
county can be restrained in the
face of the laws delay, remains to
be seen.
The jury was made up by noon,

Last Clue AS To Murdered rlan's
Indemnity Brings No
Results.

The theory that the victim of the
Pembroke cut-throats was a man
named Russell has proven to be a
mistaken one. The KentuckiaR
has received a letter from sub
scrber at HIckmun, Ky, that &C
counts for Russell's whereabouts
on Dec. 8, nearly month after the
unknown man was murdered at
Pembroke. The letter is given

for Mr. r. c. Hardwick, ] thiI k it
was when be use& to be in Leitch-
