SLAYER OF FRED BURDETTE ON
TRIAL FOR HIS LIFE
TRIAL LASTS FOUR DAYS
State Presents Crushing Case Against
Defendant, Who Is On the Verge
of Collapse.

The trial of Sam Robertson, who
shot and killed J. F. Burdette May 3,
began in district court Monday, Judge
Myers presiding. County Attorney
Baker is prosecuting the case and r.
Lee McCulloch represents the defend
ant.
All day Monday was consumed in
securing jury. Attorney McCulloch
had prepared a typewriter list of
questions, many of them quite
lengthy, and all jurors were subjected
to a minute and searching examina-
ton. The defense peremptorily chal-
1enged seven and the state but four.
Thirty-one of the venire we're exam
ined before the fateful twelve were
chosen.
The Jury.
The following jurors were finally
sworn to try the case: J. L. Rees, P.
F. Boltz, Alfonso Mckay, Isaac Ber-
ryman, E. H. Metcalf, L. w. Over
turf, VIM. Davis, w. H. Thorning,
W. r. Clifford, Grant Mckinney,
Thos. H. Gibbins and J. D. Kerlee.
The members of the jury have not
been allowed to separate, having been
constantly in charge of the bailiffs
when not in the jury box.
The defense first offered a motion
for continuance on account of the
absence of a material witness-the
wife of the defendant. The motion
was overruled by the court.
County Attorney Baker then read
the information and briefly outlined
what the state expected to prove.

l knew man who always paid his
debts, but who beat his wife. Honesty
and gentleness are not always COM
panions. But the cruelty that applies
to the dog seems to be different from
any other sort. When the dog sees
by your countenance or understands
from your voice that he has done
wrong he throws himself completely
on your mercy, and if in his struggles
TO get away he should bite your hand,
the greatest favor you can grant him
is to permit him to lick the wound.
Just look at that dog now. No man
in the hot sun ever thirsted for water
more than he thirsts for a kind word
from you
Il was readin' in a book where an
old man says to a king: You can
shorten all my days, but you can't
grant me one hour of life Over this
dog you've got more power than that,
for with word you can kill his soul
or bring it to life. You may erguy
that dog hasn't got a soul, but when
a man is possessed in a full degree of
the very qualities exhibited daily by
the average dog we speak of the de-
velopment of his soul Dogs fight
over a bone. Men fight over money.
A dog is deceitful in order that he
may be more pleasant in the eyes of
his master.
"A dog is the only thing that glori-
fies his slavery. A boss works for
what he eats. He's always got his
mind on the stable. A dog works to
give pleasure to his master. He is the
only animal that enjoys a joke because
the man does. He studies a man so
close that he is mind reader. When
you get up of a mornin' he knows your
temper the moment he sets eyes on
you. Old man Cartwright out here
declared that his dog knew in a mo-
ment when he had protested religion;
and Cartwright told me, says he: The
dog quit chasin' rabbits on Sunday,
after this. He'd walk about the yard
as solemn as any presidin' elder you
ever saw, but the minute cussed a
COW and lost my religion, one Sunday.
why the dog he jumped over the fence
and started out traclin a rabbit
Well, make friends with your truest
friend there, and go ahead"
The dog was listening. The hunter
turned toward him and smiled The
grateful animal leaped forward with
his eyes beaming, strove to embrace
his master, and then, with new spirit,
sprang over the fence to take up his
neglected work. "Old gentleman" said
the hunter, I'm not as bad fellow as
you think I am"
"Oh, l guess you're all right, but you
are so bent on your own enjoyment
that you don't think enough of others,
and 1 want to say that dogs are
others"

A bird hunter, having become en-
ragged at his dog, seized him by the
collar, snatched up a stick and ad-
rninistered to him an unmerciful beat
ing. On the fence not far away sat
old Linn Jucklin, and he called to the
hunter: by the way, there, when you
get through with that dog, and If you
amt in too big a hurry to go some
where else, I'd like to say something
to you. have an idea that it may do
you good"

much time for you, old man." the hunt
er replied
well, l didn't ask for too much
time. 1t won't take me long to tell you
what 1 think"
The hunter came slowly forward.
and at the same time two of his com
panions, having overheard what had
been said, came out of the corn field
and, speaking pleasantly to the old
man, waited for him to proceed with
their friend. The dog, true to the in
stincts of his generous race, came up
to renew his promises of eternal f.
deity.
What is it you want with me?" the
hunter inquired. CAS- I said before, 1
haven't much time"
"Ah, hah," replied the old man, "but
you've got the time TO quit your bust
ness whatever it may be and to come
over here and to hunt on my land
without ever havin' asked for the per
mission"
Il beg your pardon, sir; I didn't
know this was your land
yes, that's the trouble with such
fellers as you are-you never know.
However, l don't mind your huntin'
on my land, but as long as l pay
taxes on it you shan't beat your dog
on it. Don't be impatient, now, and
listen minute to what I've got to say.

he was a workin' for you, too. Some
times you get so excited that you
shoot too quick, don't you? All, hah,
I'll bet you do. But you lay it to the
keenness of your blood and don't look
on it as crime. But you think that

seem to be unavoidably rude to Caro-
line in my comparisons.
l can hardly even yet realize that
the bishop could so completely forget
the cathedral, the diocese, the Epis-
copal example and his so years. The
remembrance of one or other of them
should have stayed with him, one would
think. But they fed him completely,
1t appears, and before the astonished
eyes of Mrs. Peter Cantear, driving Sc
dately home in her sedately appointed
sleigh, was revealed the amazing sight
OF Caroline and the bishop, coasting
merrily down the icy expanse of hill
on little sled, whose lack of space
caused them to cling to each other in
a manner which showed far more re-
gard for their personal safety than for
the Episcopal dignity.

part of Caroline; to Constantia it is as

crash indeed it ended in, for the
bishop, being more accustomed to
steering guild meetings than small
sleds, made some wrong calculation in
endeavoring to avoid a collision with
Mrs. Peter Cantear's sleigh. He was
forced by the stress of circumstance
to swerve and deviate from that
straightness of path which he was so
insistent in recommending to his ca.

not to be cruel to an animal, but some
times we know a thing so we'll that we
forget it. Some men have passed all
have overlooked all of the little ones
just want to ask you this: What has
that dog got to look forward to except
to please you? In the one of your
voice he finds the color of life-dark
or light. When you frown it is cloudy
weather for him; when you smile it
doesn't make any difference to him
how the rain pours or how the snow
flies. He is ready to go with you. The
night can't be too dark nor the wind
too bitin' When you want to go out
the most cheerful fire would be un-
comfortable for him. Talk about the
influence of man in his fam
lily! Talk about ownership! Why,
you own the dogs body and
he gladly makes you a present of
his soul. The Bible teaches us to for
give, and in this the dog is more re-
ligious than man. You may say that
this comes through fear, but the dog
is not afraid to give his life for you;
and don't want to hurt your feelin's
here on my own land, but I've always
noticed that the Teller that will beat
a dog will cheat a man if he gets a
right good chance"
Look here, old fellow, you may be

And l was goin' to add that the
man that would beat a dog would also

What, and you mean that you have

The companions began to laugh and

lookin' for. By the way, what's your

ing at it,"
Then you guess at it; and did you
ever know one of those close guessers
to guess on the wrong side? It's like
the man that makes a mistake in Civ
in change-usually makes it in his
own favor. This may be honest, you
know-makin' a mistake in your own ia
vor-but it comes out of an underlyin'
principle of selfishness. And, before l
forget it, let me say that I've always
noticed that the Teller that beats a
dog is one likely in a perfectly honest
way to short-change you.
