Judge Mcpherson Holds Mortgage
Given After Insolvency Must Take
Chances.
Special to Times-Republican.
Davenport, Dec. "A mortgage CIV
en- by a firm or individual at time
when it is insolvent does not take pre-
cedence over the claims of other cred
itors, according to an important opin-
ion rendered by Judge Mcpherson in
the federal court. He rules that the
mortgage of the Huttig Manufacturing
Company in the d. Winter bankruptcy
case, is not a preferred claim, but shall
be treated as a common claim. This
affirms the decision of Referee A. NJ
Antrobus, of this city. w. E. Blake,
representing the trustee, NJ Edwards,
argued the case in the district court.
The Huttig Manufacturing Co. held
mortgage against the D. Winter estate
to the amount of $13,391. If this was
allowed as a preferred claim, it would
take more than the assets to satisfy
this claim alone and would leave Moth
ing for the other creditors, who should
nave had $45.000 coming to them. The
best any Of the creditors could expect

was about 25 cents on the dollar, but
that is better than nothing, and they
put up stiff fight against the Huttig
Manufacturing Co. They have secured
two decisions in their favor and un-
less the case is taken up to the court
of appeals, the decision will stand and
the estate can be settled up.
In his decision, Judge Mcpherson de-
clares that the mortgage cannot be
recognized as a preferred claim, as d..
Winter was insolvent at the time the
mortgage was executed and that the
Huttig Manufacturing Co. had reason
to believe that Winter was insolvent,

and Alf Moore, Negro, Pay
Murder Penalty
FORMERS SONS TO HANG FRIDAY
The Case of the Murderers Has Pre-
sented Many Unusual Features, the
Double Crime Resulting From
Family Feud Between Preachers -
Two Children of One Killed.

| RaWlln8S ana All moore, Wlt
latter negro, were hanged here today
| for the murder of Willie and Carrie
! Carter, in July. 1905. Both stepped
| upon the scaffold without tremor
| Rawlings, in his last statement, de
cared that he had told the truth, that
his sons had no connection with the
crime. Moore also declared that he
had told the truth, again insisting that
Milton Rawlings had fired the fata
| shots.
| Valdosta, Ca Dec. 4.--The crime for
| which j. G. Rawlings and All Moore, a
negro, who were hanged today, pre-
sented unusual features. Rawlings
| and w. l.. Carter We're neighbors
twelve miles from here, and both were
| Baptist ministers. Several years age
a dispute arose as to the line between
their respective farms. Litigation and
ed by shot frsm ambush, and had
Rawlings arrested on charge of at
tempted murder a few days later. On
June 13, 1905, night attack was made
on the Carter home. Two Of Carters
children were shot, just outside the
house, and shots were fred without eff
feet at Carter and his wife and an
other daughter. One of the wounded
children informed his parents that Mil
ton and Jesse Rawlings had shot him.
He died next day After shooting the
children. the attacking party attempted
upon and driven off without further
casualties. The coroner's jury found
the crime had been committed by Mil
ton and Jesse Rawlings and Alf Moore.
The Negro Confessed Plot.
The negro confessed, telling of a plot
which had been planned by the elder
Rawlings, for the murder of the en-
tire Carter family. and burning their
home. J. G. Rawlings, elder, took no
gone to Valdosta to avert suspicion.
The trial, which lasted two weeks, re-
suited in a verdict of death for the
elder Rawlings, his sohs Milton and
Jesse, and Moore.
A third son, Leonard Rawlings who
was given a life sentence as an ac-
complice, then began fight for life.
Every legal expedient has been resorted
to causing the day of execution to be
postponed from time to time, as each
successive temporary advantage was
gained by the defense.
Sons to Hang Friday.
The cases of the two Rawlings boys
who are under sentence to be hanged
Friday will come before the board Of
pardons Thursday.
Sentence Of death has been passed
upon Rawlings five times, but there
now seems to be no doubt that the long
legal fight is over.
An effort was made to save the faith
er because he was not actually mem
Der of the party, but he made no plea
for mercy. He said he wanted to be
hanged, and that he would meet the
judge in hell.' He asserted that he
and his boys had been tried by set
of illiterate degenerates."
