ALL NIGHT RIDER
CASES AT MURRAY
GO TO NEXT TERM
Continued By Agreement of
Parties in Judge Tom Cooks
Court.
Fred Jones Sentenced to Five
Years in Pen.
FOR MURDER OF WILL LEWIS

Murray. KY, April 81. Especially
Fred Jones was sentenced to five
years in the penitentiary by a Jury
in the circuit court this morning.
The commonwealth asked for a
continuance in the night rider cases
because the opinion of the court OF
appeals in the case of Jake Ellis has
not been received. Judge Cook said,
that unless the defense agrees, he
will try the cases as they come. The
defense is preparing for trial. Kelsle
Kirk. the principal defendant, is III
attn pneumonia. The cases were
continued by agreement.
So much time has been consumed
at the present term of circuit court
in trying the murder charge against
Fred Jones. who shot and killed
Will Lewis at baptizing near Hico
last September, that it is possible
none of the cases against alleged
night riders will be heard before
the August term of court.
The Jones murder case was begun
last Thursday and about 200 wit
nesses have been examined, the case
being given to the jury late Tues
day afternoon.
1t was shown from the evidence
that i'll feeling had existed between
the Jones and Lewis boys several
years and there had been several
encounters. On the afternoon of the
killing they met at a baptizing and
while there was some controversy as
to which called the other out of the
crowd and started the difficulty. a
majority of the witnesses testified
that Il was Fred Jones who called
out Henry Lewis, brother OF Win
Lewis who was killed. and a quarrel
ensued VIII Lewis came up and
angry words were passed between
him and Fred Jones and Jones
pulled his pistol and fired three or
four shots. One witness testified
that Victor Jones. a brother of the
man on trial, also fired one shot into
VIII Lewis back.
other witnesses testified that two
shots were fired almost Simultaneous
ly and that volumes of smoke arose
in front of Lewis and behind him.
Victor Jones is under indictment but
a separate trial.
1t was the theory of the defense
that VIII Lewis and his brother
Henry, were advancing on the de-
PENDANT in a threatening manner.

that the shooting was in necessary

had made threats against Jones was
also introduced.
Every point was closely contested

bitterness was evidenced. The de-
