DEATH SENTENCE
Given Fiest, Nashville Doctor, for
Murder.

DR., Herman J. Fiest, who is al
legged to have killed his paramour
Mrs. Rosa Mangrum, in December
1905, has been sentenced to hang
at Nashville, Tenn.
Before the sentence was imposed
the Judge asked Fiest if he had
anything to say why judgment
should not be imposed upon him.
With a nerve that was splendid,
without batting an eye, or finch
ing a muscle, the prisoner calmly
replied, Nothing, except that ]
am innocent"
The sentence was then passed
and Friday, June 81, was the day
fixed for the execution, but as coun-
sci for FIest prayed an appeal, the
execution will be stayed and the
case goes to the Supreme Court.
1t will be remembered that Mrs.
Mangrum's body was fshed from
the river at Cairo, The Commercial

Asked as to whether be though
the canal eventually would be Of

Undoubtedly, in time.n
Mr.. Stevens said he resigned for
purely personal reasons. The re-
port that the canal will never be

PRELIMINARY PULLING
IN g. P. CHURCH MATTER
Chancellor Bullock Intimates That
the Authorities Had No Power
to Effect the Union.

Jackson, Tenn, April Is. Chan
cellor E. l.. Bullock to-day deliver
ed prelimary opinion in the Cum.
berland Presbyterian Church con-
troversy. This opinion is not on
the real merits of the case, but in
wolves the. question of the use Of the
church property. The court ex-
presses the opinion that the consti-
tuted authorities of the Cumber-
land Presbyterian Church were
without the inherent or constitu-
tional power to perfect a union
which would terminate the church
and become operative to surrender
its name, members, faith and con-
stitution, judicatorles and proper
ty. The question being one ofsuch
magnitude. and attended by differ
ences of opinion, it is not deemed a
proper case to make ruling upon
d preliminary hearing, which would
be as to possession of the church
equivalent to final determination.
Until final hearing, the possession
of the church property 'will be al
lowed both parties alternately and
upon equal terms. The attorneys
agreed upon the terms of the use of
the property by the complainants
and defendants.

LOOKED LIKED TROUBLE.
Looked Into Barrel of Big Gun Held
by III. J. Newton.


Quite a. ripple of excitement was
created this morning in Morris &
Bard's store when trouble arose be-
tween Wayne Thomas and H. J..
Newton, OF Chicago, a private de-
tective brought here several weeks
ago to capture bootleggers. When
they met o.day in Morris & Bard's
store a few words passed between
them and one advanced upon the
other, whereupon, it is alleged,
Newton flashed a pistol in Thomas
face and warned him not to touch
him. Thomas cody took in the
situation and retreated to his place
of business and prepared himself
on equal terms with Newton Ca big
gun with calibre that carried
ball like they used out West for tun-
neling mountains). Thomas then
returned to the scene Of hostilities
10 see if Newton was still in the
same frame of mind as when he
left him few minutes previous,
but friends,of the two men prevent
ed them from meeting again. Had
they been allowed to meet, it is very
probable that all bluffs would have
been abandoned and fierce pistol
duel taken place with disastrous re-
suits.
