Second Degree Murder for All
Three Men in the Smith
Murder Case in Raleigh
Earl Cotton, the Chief Actor
in the Sensational Affair,
Gets the Limit of the Law.

The sensational murder case against
Earl Cotton, Tim Hoderfield and f..
A. Hopkins, in Raleigh, for the muir
der last November of DR.. f. ". Smith,
a travelling salesman from Rich
mond, Va, came to an end Sunday
morning when the jury, after having
been out all night. returned a verdict
of guilty of murder in the second de-
gree against each of the men. The
following press dispatch which was
published in the Monday papers tells
the story of the final scene in this
celebrated case, and also short story
of the murder charge:
Raleigh, \. C., April AFTER being out
all night the jury in the trial OF three
men for the murder of DR.. E. W. Smith,
of Richmond, Va, this morning brought
in a verdict OF murder in the second de-
gree against Earl Cotton, Tim Holder
field and f. A. Hopkins, otherwise known
as Red" Hopkins. young white men.
With regard to Hopkins the jury recon-
mended mercy. Judge Lyon. OF the su-
perior court, sentenced Cotton to thirty
years in the penitentiary, the full limit,
holding him as the leading spirit in the
murder Holderfield, because he was in
the employ of Cotton, and because OF the
testimony that he was OF good char
acter, was sentenced to only ten years
in the penitentiary. Red Hopkins was
sentenced to two years.
On the morning of November 10, 1908,
the body of Dr. Smith was found at the
edge of a rock quarry, in the Eastern
suburbs of Raleigh. An investigation
developed the fact that on the night OF
November IL he had been seen apparently
drunk in Cottons cafe Evidence pro-
duced by the state showed that DR..
Smith had been drugged to death with
chloroform for the purpose OF obtaining
his watch, ring and diamond pin, later
traced to Cotton; that Hopkins furnished
the chloroform; that Cotton admins
tered an overdose which caused the vic
TINS death, and that Holderfeld took
the body in a hack to the rock quarry.
The states witnesses were Ed. Chavis,
a negro hack driver. and Richard Will
liams, a negro cook in the employ OF
Cotton. Hopkins was a stranger, who
landed here some time ago. Holderfield
was a cotton mill employee and Cotton
is the son of prominent Raleigh physi-
clan.
Public opinion seems to be that the
sentences are by no means excessive.
We often wonder how any person can be

STRIKES us that Raleigh Jury did
not do its duty when it faild to send
some body to the electric chair in the
Smith murder trial. But a 30 years
sentence to the penitentiary for Earl
Cotton the chief criminal of the gang,
and a man whose father is worthy
and honored citizen for whom much
sympathy is felt, is not altogether a
miscarriage of justice. As showing
what the trial Judge thought of the
matter he gave Cotton the full penal
ty of the law for murderi in the second
degree.
To SAVE our life we cannot figure
it out any other way than that
Police Commissioner Bingham, of
New York City. is a colossal liar
Those "holier than thou fellows
who are offered 100000 bride in

position $1,OO0,0O0 the year for
doing nothing but keeping "hands
OFF, are to be taken with Il grain of
allowance. Let Police Commissioner
Bingham give facts and figures, call
names, times and places, under oath
with notary public's seal and sig
nature and his declarations will be
entitled to more consideration. And
yet We are not one of those who sub
scribe to the belief that every man
has his price"

With a largely increased force
of miners at work on the Ban
ner, the resumption of active
operations on the Silver City
and other nearby properties,
and with the mammoth under
taking OF Mr.. Scoville and asso-
ciates on Boulder Creek, the flu
ture Of Silver City certainly has
a bright outlook, and we predict
that the year 1910 will witness
the greatest mining activity in
the history of the camp since
early days.

Idle thought are idle moments
worse than wasted, and one who
procrastinates with the fine SEN
sibilities that God has given him
to use wisely is not only his
own worst enemy intellectually
and morally, but also OF man
kind in general. Let your
thoughts and actions trend, no
matter how humble they may
be, as far as lies in your power
to the enlightenment and better
ment, socially and otherwise, OF
the condition OF your friends,
neighbors and the world in
general. Cast a ray Of sunshine
with a happy smile into the
hearts of others and God will
bless you for it.

be generated to amply provide

gress at Billings, Montana, Octo-

the Ebert county fair recently
and saw samples of some OF the
crops raised in that region.

A. G. Cornforth, one Of the di-

fine grasses and grains. He told
Prof. Olin that he had never seen
better crops than we're being
harvested this year throughout
the county. His exhibit as dis
played at the Ebert fair will be
included in the Colorado exhibit
atBillings.
N. B. Alderman of Ebert, Col

Other farmers in that vicinity
harvested % to 30 bushels Of
wheat.
Around Limon, Colorado, the
wheat averaged 80 to 40 bush

DAMPHOOL LAWS.

Brother Bates. OF the Farlld
Herald, in his last issue gives the
following comment on the laws
passed by therecent legislatures,
and shows how wise ~ and con-
sistent they are.
"In Montana the other day a
man was fined 5000 for playing
a social game Of solo OF
course, if he played game like
some of our acquaintance he
should have been hanged, but
that is not the point; if he had
played pinochle the law would
not have been violated.
According to the Sunday Rest
law in Idaho you can play base
ball, but if you sing Jesus Low
er Of My SOUP in an opera house
you viii bearrested; you can buy
all the ice cream, coca-cola, ci
gars, ETC., that you want, but ii
you buy a loaf Of bread you will
be pinched; you can buy a beef
steak at a restaurant, but not
at a meat market; you may
catch the big fish, but you must
not have them photographed;
you may buy a distillery or a
brewery, but you can't buy a
drink; if you steal. a ride on a
train you will be vagged and get
80 days, but ii you steal the
railroad or Carey Act project
you will be a hero and vote the
republican ticket.
And some good citizens often
wonder why the people are losing
respect for the laws, and are drift
ing into socialism and anarchy.
Still, when we contemplate
Brady and some OF the "bulwarks
OF the nation as exemplified by
the late, but not lamented, mem
bers of the Idaho legislature, w
feel to congratulate ourselves, i
might have been worse"
