Jury.

ing Trials.
SAM COLLIE CLEARED.

Benton, KY, June 20.-The jury
in the Burnett Phelps case was dis
missed this afternoon at 2 o'clock,
after having been held together for
twenty-six hours. They reported
that it was impossible to agree. 1t
was ascertained that the jury was
evenly divided, six being for convic-
ton and six for acquittal.
Burnett Phelps is charged with
participating in the raid on Birming-
ham. in March, when John Scruggs,
an old negro, was killed, and his
infant grandchild was so badly shot
it died the next day. Several ne
groes were whipped.
The defense relied on alibF evi-
dence to acquit their client. Both
sides made out strong case. Com
monwealth's Attorney John G. Low
EFT made strong speech, denoun'
cling such lawlessness as night riding
in strong terms. He pleaded with
the jury to do its duty and send
Phelps to the penitentiary. Attor-
neys C. K. Wheeler and W. A. Der.
ry, of Paducah, also put up strong
arguments for their client, Attorney
Wheeler's speech being 'flowery.
William Reeder also spoke for the
commonwealth and Attorney Jack
Fisher for the defendant.
The Phelps case was the first tried
in Marshall county and it is consid-
cred a victory for the defense. The
commemorative attorney is hopeful
though of convicting some of the
men indicted, and he has large
number to work on.
While Attorney Berry was speak.
ing he made remark that was ap'
proved by a large number of the
audience applauding. The common.
wealth's attorney was quick to arise
and asked the court, Judge l wish
you would stop these night riders
from applauding the speaker.
There were some murmurs of disap.
proval at the request, but Judge
Reed promptly informed the audi
ence that repetition would near
Jail sentences for the guilty.
The case of Sam Collie, charged
with the same offense, was finished
at five o'clock this afternoon and
given to the jury. The evidence in
this case was practically the same as
in the Phelps case, Otis Blick being
the most important witness. Col
lies defense is about the same as in
the other case, both defendants pre-
senting strong alibis. A verdict of
not guilty was returned.

Another DECISION BY Court
OF Appeals Destroys
Last Hope.
SMITH LOSES HIS OFFICE
Original Case Will Be Heard
BY Judge Cook To-
morrow,

The Court of Appeals Saturday
handed down decision in the Smith
Renshaw case that in effect removes
all doubts and declares John M.
Renshaw Sheriff, by the operation
of the Statutes" The original case
was to come up yesterday before
Judge Cook on its merits, but was
passed until tomorrow for the ex-
animation of the opinion of 26 type
written pages. The opinion is con-
Cured in by O'Rear, Barker, Lassing
and Carroll, Mum, Settle and
Hobson dissent. 1t passes upon al
most every possible phase of the
case and declares that a vacancy
existed and that Judge Prowse filled
it in lawful manner. If Judge
Cook should hold David Smith Sher-
iff still, the appeal would go before
Judge Barker again and his decision
in twenty days would of course re-
affirm the opinion in the writ of pro-
hibition and injunction cases. No
matter what further steps are taken,
it is not possible for Mr.. Smith to
hold on to the office. The original
case might be appealed, but Rem
shaw would be Sheriff in the inter
i'm. In any event, the decision
makes an election necessary and the
Democrats are already expressing a
determination to nominate candi-
dates for both Sheriff and County
Judge to be voted for in November.
If Mr.. Smith cannot run for Sheriff
he may be a candidate for County
Judge. If Judge Cook decides to
accept the last decision as settling
the entire controversy, he will prob
ably dismiss the case in Circuit
Court and give the Office to Renshaw
at once and a hot campaign would
at once open up.
