Jennings, the victims daughter, Of
the crime. She testified that Dora,
her companion and room mate, had
confessed she herself had murdered
Jennings because the latter had
proved an unnatural father. Ac-
cording TO Miss Roberts evidence,
Dora said she had stolen Jasper's
rifle and shot their father, hiding
the weapon in the brush near at
hand.
Dora jennings trial followed,
but the jury disagreed and a re-
trial is ordered. Meanwhile her
brother Is still under sentence Of
execution.
The defense sought to discredit
Miss Roberts statements, accusing
her of desperate and unscrupul-
Gus attempt 10 save her lover at
the sacricfice of his sisters life.
Many, however, credit the story Of
Doras guilt and public sentiment
demands a thorough probing of the
mysterious crime which threatens
TO disclose even greater sensations.

Ing

Day after tomorrow is the day
of the fight between Kid Parker
and Jack O'Keefe. Both of the
boys are in fine shape and at
weight. The fight will be one Of
the best ever pulled off in Spo-
kane.
The dope on the two men is so
even that either has a right to win.
Although O'Keefe is a slight ia
vorite he has no more call to win
than has Parker.
OKeefe is a long distance fight
err and has an awful punch, one
which if landed means that the
show Is over and the curtain has
dropped. He Is younger and
stronger than Parker. He has
fought Kid Herman, Buddy Ryan,
Jimmie Britt, Willie Lewis, Honey
Melody and others. He fought
draw with Britt and won one fight
from him on a foul.
Parker has been down in the
fighting world for some time, but
in his day was going it with the
topnotchers. His style of fighting
il the slam bang. He is at his man
all the time and never lets up until
he is whipped or the other man is
down and out. From the tap Of
the gong until all is over, Parker
will be boring in. If he can keep
away from O'Keefe's lawmakers
he has good show to win.
Tickets are on sale at the Spo-
kane Amateur Athletic club today.

TROOPS RDERE OFT
Imperative Instructions Given by the
Governor to Preserve the Peace ut
Any Price.
Especial TO The Messerger.)


Raleigh, n. C, August AT |
O'Clock this afternoon Governor Glenn
received a message from Sheriff Julian
asking that 100 troops be sent imme-
diately to Salisbury to assist in main
tanning order. The governor ordered
the companies at Statesville, Charlotte
and Salisbury to report his afternoon
to Sheriff Julian for duty. He talked
with the captains over the telephone
and gave them Imperative instructions.
to do their duty, to use ball cartridges
only and to preserve the peace at any
hazard. The county of Rowan, under
the law has to pay the expense of such
troops which are under the sheriff's
immediate command. If necessary
more troops will be sent to the scene.
Naturally it was desired to send those
nearby on h ground of expense.
Governor Glenn mailed the follow
ing letter to Judge Long this after
noon: The killing of Mr.. Lyerly and
his innocent family was a most horri-
BILE crime, and doubtless aroused the
anger of the people, but the deliberate
and wilful taking of the prisoners from
the Jail last night was likewise a crime
and is a blot upon the fair name of
North Carolina. The amount of dam
age to the state cannot be estimated in
ollar n cents for it shows a lawlcss
spirit amongst certain of our people,
which may deter enterprise and i'm
migration into our midst
The governor then tells of his COR
r~espOndence with the sheriff of Rowan
already referred to, and says TO the
Judge; II was Mortified last night
when called from my bed by you, say
ing the mob was assailing the Jail.
There is no excuse for this lynching.
An upright judge, a fair jury, a Wig
prosecutor, and full evidence
rendered the conviction Of the pris-
oners almost a certainty. Therefore
to take the law into their own hands
was inexcusable in this mob. You
have a grand jury and solicitor with
you, and the court is in session.
Spare neither time or expense in ap-
pretending and bringing these viola
tors of law to justice. If necessary I
Will aid you with the whole power of
the state. MObs must understand that
they cannot perpetrate crime and go
unpublished. I feel that a blot is upon
our state. Help me in every way you
can to remove it by Furnishing the per-
p~etrators.'
