DR.. F|EST GETS
ANOTHER TRIAL
FORMER TRIAL FAILED TO ES-
ThBLlSH WHERE CRIME
WAS COMMITTED.
A DISSENTING OPINION
By Justice Shields That Lower Court
Should Have Been Affirmed
Says Fiest is
GUILTY.

Nashville, Tenn, March 29-Ths
supreme court, in an opinion delivered
yesterday by Chief Justice w. d
Beard gave Dr, Herman Ficst the al
legged murderer of Mrs Rosa Man
erum, another chance for his life by
reversing the finding Of the Davidson
county criminal court
The case of the state, the supreme
court rules, fails on the point OF
venue, that Is, fails in establishing
that the crime was committed in
Davidson county, and it is ayerred
that the defendant had constitu.
tional right that such fact should be
established. In the language Of
Judge Beard, the court said:
Upon careful examination Of
records, we fell forced to say that we
are unable to find any evidence that
If Mrs. Mangrum was murdered that
the crime was committed in David
son county"
The court in rendering the opinion.
however, defended and comphmented
the charge of Judge w NJ. Hart to he
jury, which had been criticised and ar
raigned rather severely by counsel
for DR.. Flest. Judge Shields deliv-
cred an oral dissenting opinion He
declared emphatically that he be-
i!eYed circumstances clearly proved
the crime was committed in Davidson
county He thought the verdict
should have been affirmed. AS the
judgment of tho court was pronounced
reversing the case, reporter asked
Fieat if he had any statement to
make. He replied
mo, not now"
DR.. Flest was taken back to jail
and the question of what bond will
be required of him will be brought up
later. FNlest was in no wise seemingly
moved by the decision, which was
rendered before a practically empty
court room. The trend of the opinion
was that Fiest was guilty. but the
state had not proved that he alleged
crime had been committed in David
son county.

Sheriff Fitzpatrick is taking precau-

a confession from Steve Adams L.

Adams has since repudiated the con
fession and for this reason it is be
