LIFE SENTENCE FOR
YOUNG HARGIS

IRVINE. Ky. April 2a.-In the case Of
Beach Hargis. the jury Yesterday after
noon returned a verdict fixing his sentence
az life imprisonment for the murder OF his
father. Judge James Hargis, at Jackson,
Ky.
When tho jury presented is verdict the
defendant showed no signs Of emotion, and
with his mother sat motionless.
The jury had been ont since $50 o'clock
last night. and it was the general opinion
that hung jury would be the result as
was the case in his FIRST trial, which also
was held here.
The murder Of Judge Hargis by his SON
Beach. took place ia the Judges store at
Jackson Breathltt county. on the after
noon Of February G. 1908. Beach had been
drunk for several DAYS and on the after
noon OF the killing said his father had
been mistreatlng him. and that he was
going 10 have revenge.
At the Hargis store he was met by his
father. who asked him what he had heen
doing. II Is not known what Beach an
swered. but the two clinched. and Beach
shot his father four times, firing the shots
through his coat pocket not having had
time TO draw his weapon. which belonged
to the father. having been taken from tho
store.
Judge Hargls, who was known cs the
Highland Chief. died while being carried
from the store to HIS home short dis
tance away.
The Hargis faction was split by the de-
mand OF Judge Margis' friends that Beach
be punished and by the efforts Of his
mother to secure his freedom. He was
placed in jail soon after the shooting, and
a day or two later tried 10 commit suicide
by taking morphine. He was saved, how
ever. by his physician hrother-in-iaw, Or.
W. r. Hogs, going to the jail and using
a stomach pump.

the appointment OF new judges. nor
was he prepared TO say when the new

yesterday. Il is expected that Secretary
Of state Hastings will be appointed
one OF the new judges. II Is known
that he has no desire 20 go upon the

financial sacrifice for him TO accept
a judgeship but there Is strong
probability that he will be named a:
