WAS MURDER SAYS
TENNESSEE JUDGE

GAINESVILLE, Tenn, March IL
Criminal court convened and Judge
Tyler delivered a strong charge to the
grand jury on night riding and the
killing of young Vaughn Bennett,
which took place several days ago In
referring to the killing of young Ben
nett he said:
1.-The circumstances attending the
homicide are unusual, but their
weight and Importance can all be set
sled, in my opinion, by the application
of plain and elementary law. II young
Bennett had been killed while making
an attack under the law the homicide
would have been justifiable both legal
ly and morally on the ground OF self
defense"
II band be riding along the high
way by day or night, making no
threatening demonstrations. and per-
sons from ambush fire upon and kill
one or more of them the killing can
not be justified on the ground of self
defense, but must be deemed murder,
and under the statute such a homicide
would be murder in the first degree.
He charged the jury to make a thor
ough investigation of the affair and
urged that each juror counsel moder-
alton and forbearance among those in
the different localities, and let the law
deal with each and all of the offenses
as they may merit.
