 der of G. o. Sturdivant.
 Columbus, Ga. February, 15.-(Spe- cial. l-The third murder case of the week was taken up in Muscogec superior court this morning when c. o.

 In his statement today Everett said that Sturdivant had threatened his life, and just before the tragedy cursed him, IeaEed over him in a threatening way. and threw his hand behind him as if to draw a deadly weapon. The testimony introduced by both the State and the defense showed that just be- fore the cutting Sturdivant applied a vile epithet to the other.

POpuIar Montgomery Citizen Passed
 Away in Tuscaloosa.
 Lawrence S. Harrison, for many years a popular citizen of Montgomery, died early yesterday morning in Tuscaloosa and his remains were brought to Mont gomery last night for interment The funeral services will take place at 3:30 o'clock this afternoon at St. Peter s Catholic Church.
 For nearly q year Mir. Harrison has been in failing health. November 10 last he suffered a fainting spell in his place of business on Commerce Street and was removed to St. Margaret's Hos pital. He rallied and was able to re- turn to his business for short while but his strength left him again and he was sent back to the hospital. Some time later the physicians pronounced his aiIment incurable and it was found necessary to send him to hospital in Tuscaloosa.
 From time to time he was visited in Tuscaloosa by his relatives and friends who invariably brought the dis couraging information that his death was a matter ot-hut a few months. So it was that his numerous friends were prepared for the end. ,
 When the death of MT. Harrison was communicated to Montgomery yes terday morning in a telegram his
 
 friends, J. H. Cannon and Dudley Cas- tlebcrry left immediately for Tusca- loosa, and accompanied the remains tc Montgomery last night. The body was conveyed from the railway station tt the residence of Mrs. J. H. Cannon, sister of the deceased, at the cornei of Bibb and Lee Streets, where ther' was a perfect stream of sympatheti' visitors until late hour.
 MT Harrison was born in Dalton Ga. March S1st, 1868, and would hav' been 3s years old if he had lived an other month. He was son of Law re ice Harrison, a pioneer Irish citizel | Of Georgia and his wife Bridget Har ' riton The parents have been dea' many years.
 | There were several of the Harrison 1 brothers and they came to Montgomer, 1 more than twenty years ago. Law renee Harrison was a communicant O st. Pcter's Catholic Church. He love his church and it's people and 'e ha' an exalted love and respect for the pas Tor of St. Peters, Rev. Father penni 1 Savage. who had been his eoRfeSso l all of these years.

AS there was no money iuclosed for

II may be said, were not at all alarmed
when they read this threat.
