CARR AND ELLIS
 GO TO THE FARM
Two Men Began Serving Sentence Yesterday Afternoon-May be all Appeal in the Carr Case, But No Bond Has Been Asked for Yet.

Little Rock, Dec. l6.-W. Y Ellis, charged with murdering \. F. Willis, of Indianapolis. and George Carr, charged with murdering Adolph TOpf, were taken to the county farm yes terday afternoon where they began the sentence imposed upon them.
 In the case of Ellis, the doctors recommend light outdoor work, and this was the order of the court. ln the case of Carr, no examination was had, but he is not in good health and it is said he will also be given light work on the outside.
 Carr had made an application for a new trial and this was overru|ed by Judge Lea yesterday afternoon. His attorneys have saved exceptions to several things in the record and have not yet said that the case would not be appealed. If it is appealed it will be some time next week, as Judge Vaughan, attorney for Carr is engaged in the Day murder trial at Rison and will not he here before the end of the week.
 Petitions for the pardon of Ellie have already been circulated and i' is said that the women of his former home at Fayetteville are taking ul the work of securing him pardon and that the lady friends of Mrs. FL lis at Pine Bluff are not only signing the petition, but are asking others to do so.
 Ii the Carr case is not appealed it is likely that an effort will be made to secure a pardon for him, He was very popular officer in Argenta at the time he killed Topf, and has many friends who would like to see him pardoned, He formerly lived in Pine Bluff.

Verdict Is Looked For Be- fore Midnight Tonight
 Testimony In.
THE M ASONIC RING
Played An Important Part in the Testimony Yesterday-The
 Witnesses.

All the evidence has been sumbit- ted in the John Day murder case at Rison and the jury will probably re- turn q verdict before Friday mid night A long session was held last night to complete rebuttal testimony offered by the state and immediate ly after the instructions are given this morning the arguments will be made, probably before the noon hour.
 John Day took the stand in his own behalf yesterday and told practical ly the same story related few days after the tragedy, but on cross ex- animation he admitted that he shot Henry Duncan three times while the latter was trying to free his hand from the arm of his chair, where it caught when he reached for his re- volver. He said he never saw Dun ceeded in pulling it from his pocket. He told of inviting Duncan into his room at Mrs. Thrower boarding house, of their pleasant chat and fin
 ally Duncans statement that Day would never reach Pine Bluff to tell John r. Rutherford of the causes of 'shut-downs at the mI1l, when Day stated that it was his intention to take his subordinate to Pine Bluff q n Q made this statement, he says, Dun cnn @eached for his revolver and ap- .Mse4a profane words to him and said he would kill him then and there. Ac cording to Day, Duncan's hand caught in the arm of the chair and Day reached for his gun and fired five times. A gold Masonic ring found by Day in his room after the tragedy, was introduced by the de ferse. Days attorneys argued that the ring was pulled from Duncan's finger, when he tried to release his hand.
 Many witnesses, introduced by the state in rebuttal testified that Dun can had a habit of pulling the ring on and off his finger. Many charac- acter witnesses from Pine Bluff, all of whom testified to Days good char acter and law-ab1ding disposition were on the stand during the morn ing Many witnesses also testifie
