SENTENCED
FOR MURDER
w. II. Davis, of Wayne County, is
Given Ten Years.

CLIFTON. Tenn, April 9.-Circuit
Court adjourned yesterday at Waynes
boro after session of eight days
The principal case on the docket was
the Davis murder trial. In December
1905, Ben Holt was murdered in the
woods near his home in the south part
of the county. He and w. H. Davis
and the latter's sons had been in a
dispute over some timber. The cir
cumstances pointed very bstrongly to
Davis and mis- sons, and they were
arrested and at the preliminary trial
the old man and his Oldest son were
held to the grand jury and subse-
quently indicted. At the trial. which
has been In progress for three days,
the evidence, while circumstancial,
satisfied the minds of the jurors that
the senior Davis was the murderer
Accordingly he was found guilty and
given a sentence of ten years in the
penitentiary. The son was acquitted.
This session of court has proved
the undoing of the whiskey peddlers
and blind tigers and whiskey drink
ers generally. About fifty true bills
were returned against violators of the
laws, and several convictions
were secured against bootleggers.
Judge Holding and General Garner
are determined to break up the traf-
ic in this county.

from time to time, postponed in the
hope that the status of the island
might be definitely fixed by legisla-

The cigars we're made in the Isle
of Pines of tobacco grown there. and
when they arrived Pearcy refused to
pay duty, on the ground that they
were Of domestic origin. The Collec

appealed to the United States Circuit
Court, where he secured no relief, as
that court sustained a demurrer filed
by the Government and dismissed the
case. He promptly brought the case
to the Supreme Court, by which to-
day the decree OF the lower court was
4ffirmed.
