GREAT OCCASION
Will be Appearance of First
Regiment Band Here.

May Music Festival, Hopkinsville,
KY, at tabernacle, May 26th-27th.
First Regiment Band of Ohio, solo
lists from Cincinnati Symphony Or
chestra singers and musical artists.
Greatest musical treat ever given in
Southern Kentucky. Reduced rates
on all railroads, II fare round trip,
fare for large parties. Don't miss
it. Thirty-five men in this musical
organization. The First Regiment
Band has grown in public favor with
such rapidity that it now ranks as
one of the best bands in this section.
1t has been against the policy of
the leader to have few first class
artists and fill in the second and
and third instruments with mediocre
material. The result of this course
has been gratifying.
This is only the second year that
this band has sought outside engage
ments. For several years they have
been kept at home by the demands
made upon their services in and
around Cincinnati.

Summoned From Christian
In Lawrence Willis Case.

The sheriff Of Trigg county was
here Saturday and summoned We
nire Of seventy-fve men, from which
to select jury to try Lawrence d.
Willis, charged with the murder of
his uncle, Lieut.. w. B. tombstone, at
Canton, on the night Of March /,
1903. The case is set for tomorrow.
Last fall a similar venire was sum-
moned from this county, but the
case was continued.
Last May this case was tried and
the jury failed to agree, the poll
showing seven for conviction and
five for acquittal. At a former trial
Willis was convicted and his punish
ment fixed at confinementin the PEN
itentiary for life. The verdict was
set aside by the court and a new
trial awarded him. On calling the
case for the second trial only two
jurors from the regular panel were
selected. The defense then moved
that a special venire be sum-
moned from Caldwell county from
which to complete the panel. To this
motion the commonwealth attorney
objected, but his objection was over
ruled and the jury ordered sum-
moned. Commonwealth Attorney
Smith offered to file an affidavit and
to enter a motion requesting the
Judge to vacate the bench. The
court refused both.

manner Johnson met the preachers and

In conversation. Since his confinement
In the Jail he has not spoken q half
dozen words with Deputy Sheriff Frayser,
who remains there through the days.
The condemned man has an nntipathy
against all officers. He attributes his con-
vlction to the evidence OF officers who
persisted in interviewing him In Jail, On
the stand he admitted that he told one OF
the officers Il falsehood after his con-
finement. He said that the officers came
to see him regularly and asked about
what kind Of coat he wore, IN order
to get rid OF them afterWard, so Johnson
says, he had been told that this evidence
would be used against him whether he
said SO or not, no told the officers that
he had q dark coat on the day the crime
was committed. and that he gave 1t to
another negro. He told the jury that he
had no black coat
Like a Gagged panther, Austin Johnson
walked to and fro In his cell. He Is

week Joe Langley. a negro charged with
murder, occupied tho cell with Johnson,
Langley was given a trial last week and
sentenced to one year In jail. Since this
time he has been removed from the cell
