ter and Miss Edna Hunter, wife and
daughter of the murdered man, was
listened to attentively. Their de.
scription of how Hunter was called
to his door and shot down without
warning had a noticeable effect on
the jurors, who leaned forward ca.
ger to catch every word.
This promises to be one of the
most famous criminal cases ever
tried in Tennessee. All the defend
ants are prominent men of this Sec
ton. Hunter was the victim of a
night rider conspiracy. it is alleged,
being called to his dvor at midnight
and shot to death by masked men.

THE JURY is
COMPLETED
And Trial BeguD---The State
Claims Rinehart Made
Confession.
FIVE MIN ARE ACCUSED,
All the Defendants Are Prom
inent Men of Montgom
cry County.

GAINESVILLE, Tenn, June 29.-Af-
ter three days, during which over
500 persons were examined for COM
potency as jurors, the panel was
completed and the case of the State
against Marcellus Rinehart, Lem
Adkins, James Davis and Jeff and
Will Nicholson, charged with the
murder of Rufe Hunter, was begun
in earnest here to-day.
A sensation was created by the
prosecution in a statement to the
court on the line of procedure. Mr..
Savage said:
I'VE arr. going to show that this
defendant, Marcellus Rinehart. con-
fessed to having killed Rufe Hunter
with the same pistol with which he
killed Alf Fielder"
1t was further stated that it was
proposed to proceed upon the theory
that a conspiracy existed, and that
there was band of night riders in
that section of the county controlled
by Lem Adkins; that he armed and
paid the members and profited by
their work.
1t is believed that startling devei-
.opments will follow the introduction
Y0f evidence, as the court has ruled
as competent all testimony bearing
upon the defendants alleged con-
nection with night rider organiza-
ton, and it is charged by some that
they are members of the band which
has terrorized the dark tobacco Sec
ton of Kentucky and Tennessee. 1t
is alleged that from the evidence it
develops that Hunters death was
brought about by the criticism Of
this band.
Edmund Hunter, a brother, testi-
fed that Hunter said on his DEATH
bed:
Edmund, the night riders have

ing Week.

The whirlwind campaign for edu-
cation which began in Christian
county Monday closed in this city
yesterday afternoon with addresses
by DR.. J. c. Acherson, DR.. Ben Bru-
ner, secretary of state, and Hon.
Hunter Wood, Sr., and Hon. John
Feland. Prof. w. E. Gray, County
Superintendent of school, also made
a brief, but forceful talk.
On account of the very busy sea-
son with the farmers and the hot
weather the audience was not quite
so large as it would have been under
more favorable conditions, bat it
was very appreciative one.
The three principal matters dis
cussed were the uplift in education
meaning better education. not
necessarily higher education; the
establishment of one county high
school and more if possible, and the
county taxation.
On Monday addresses were made al
Dogwood, Crofton and Consolation
and on Tuesday at Casky and Gracey
During the week there will be 20,
600 speeches made in Kentucky b!
forty-seyen special speakers, sixt!

There will be over 5000 speeche

EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE.
Hopkinsville Well Represented and Will Capture the
Presidency.

editors are most pleasantly locate d
and expect TO enjoy every minute Of
the time until Friday noon, when
the meeting will break up.
The Hopkinsvile and jacksonville
party had a % hours run to get here.
Starting Sunday evening they went
to Bowling Green and were turned
back by the news of washout on
the line and the train went back
through Hopkinsville at lao in the
night, was switched on to the &c. at
NortonvilIe and reached Louisville
just in time to catch the 9:45 special
to Irvine, which arrived here about
3 o'clock. 1t was tiresome trip
but the ladies stood the trip well,
but were somewhat pat out to find
that the special carried no baggage
and their trunks were delayed in
Louisville until this morning.
However, they were all made hap
by to get their "glad rags" in time
for the ball to night and nothing is
expected to mar the pleasure Of the
meeting.
II is raining here to-day, but the
rain has cooled the heated atmos-
phere and as there is shelter for all,
nobody is worrying over the weather.
Tom Underwood made big hit
this morning in responding to the
address of welcome, which was made
by a brainy and eloquent young fell
low named Robert Friend, Of thi;
place. The Hopkinsville editor was
witty graceful and at times eloquent
in the delivery of his well prepireC
speech, which concluded with {
poem on Estill Springs that brought
forth much applause. He is to bt
the next President of the Associa
ton and as such he is sure to refec
credit not only upon himself but up
on the "Only town on the map"

monies Berg have been appointed 10 the Finnish
senate by the Governor General of Finland, &C
eording TO advices received here from Helsingfors
These men replace the Senators who in Septem-

not accept reappointment to office because the
contribute 100000 to the defence of the empire

garded an almost fatal blow to Finnish au-
tonomy, as il practically aboishes the Finnish
national administration, placing the entire ma
chinery of state in the hands of the Russian Gov
ernor General and Senate denatonaIized by
Firms who have spent their lives in the govern
