MISCELLANEOUS MATTERS On
THE COMMONWEALTH.
TWELVE YEARS IN THE PRISON
The Case Of Haddix Of Custer County
Passed Upon by the Supreme Court
Other Matters Of Interest Here and
There Over the State.

LINCOLN.-W. s. Haddix of Custer
county. convicted of the murder OF Mel
vin Butler. his neishbor, will have to
serve twelve years in the state peni-
tentiary for his crime, as the supreme
court has upheld the lower court
The two men resided on farms
which were divided by the dividing
line between Custer and Sherman
counties and frequent alterations re-
suited over the establishment of a
public highway on the dividing line.
September 10, 1905. Haddix took his
gun and went out in the road as But
Ter was coming home. The two men
met and both began to shoot, with the
result Butler was killed. Haddix was
arrested for murder in the first degree
and the jury found him guilty of MUIR
der in the second degree and SEN
fenced him to the penitentiary for
twelve years. An appeal was taken
to the supreme court on the grounds
that the jury panel had been selected
by the sheriff before he had been or
dered to act by the court and because
some members of the jury were Op-
posed to capital punishment. The
sheriff had selected sixty talesmen
who were in the court room when the
case was called. Only two of the reg
ular panel were left and the judge
ordered q new panel, which the sher-
III selected from among the spectators
in the room, these being the men mott
fled to be present by the sheriff.
