THE MURDER OF POPULAR /. G.

lev Hale. a negro charged with the MUIR
der of Edward G. Almon, young brake
man on the Louisville and Nashville rail-
road, at Oxmoor, several months ago.

being fixed at DEATH
Hale, Eugene Johnson and Andrew Hall
were charged with the murder of Almon
Attorney A. Leo Oberdorfer was appoint
ed by Judge Dan A. Greene to defend
the negroes Mr.. Oberdorfer Immediately
asked for continuance of the case, and
this being denied a motion to have the
case against Hale tried separately was
made, and granted by the court.
All the Jurors had been selected by 2
o'clock The state placed Deputy Sheriff
John c, Burgin ON the stand. He testified
as to the confession of Hale and told
of the arrest. Other witnesses for the
state were Mrs Vincent. a sister Of
the dead man, Officers Murphy and Dish
Groom, and Special Agents Barnes and
Startling of the Louisville and Nash
vile.
The most damaging testimony brought
out against Hale was his confession and
the dying statement of his victim. In
his last words Almon described the man
ner in which he was assaulted and robbed
and identified the pistol shown him by
the officers as the one he had on the
night of the robbery and which was
taken away from him by the negroes.
The case went to the jury at o'clock
and in a few minutes the verdict of
guilty was returned.
According to Almons statement, one
night some months ago. he was sent
by the engineer to flag a train coming
up from behind. When he was within
a short distance of the train, he was
assaulted by two negroes one of whom
struck him over the head with blunt
instrument He fired at one of them
but they quickly wrested the weapon
from his hands and shot him, He was
then relieved of all the valuables on his
person. Hale was wounded by Almon and

MORE WATER SOFTENING
PLANTS TO BE PUT IN

Mr.. Burt, who is direct from Chicago,
had this to say last night of the strike
situation in his home city:
THE strike has petered out. Recent de-
velopments have knocked the bottom out
of it. Charges of lawlessness, supported
as they are by substantial proof, have
greatly discredited the strike leaders in
the eyes of the whole community. 1t
seems that the labor unions can never
he made to understand that resort to vio-
lence. lawlessness and blaekmail do them
only harm instead of good, 1t will take
the unions some time 10 recover from the
evil effects of this strike. The American
people are patient but they have no SYM
pathy with the spirit of lawlessness."
