Marshall SWOre tnat he QlQ not know
Iany West Tennessee Land Company,
and had never heard of either Taylor or
Rankin He said that while Garrett
Johnson was talking to Col. Taylor and
began to get rough he stepped up and
said Don't harm these men. They
are nice, honorable gentlemen, and you
ought not to harm them. Let them go
home" One of the Nightriders struck
him two or three times in the side with
a gun and forced him to desst.
Witness swore that he offered his own
life in exchange for the lives of Rankin
and Taylor He said he begged two
or three times, and pointing at Col.
Taylor, who was seated in the court
room near him, he exclaimed dramatic
ally: If that gentleman knew the cir
cumstances as | do, he would embrace
me in his arms"
! He said he begged Colonel Taylor to
promise the band anything to get out of
their hands.
Marshall declared that he knows moth
ing of the West Tennessee Land Com
pany, nor who owns Reelfoot Lake;
that he is not interested in the lake;
said that he had never had any talk
with McMurtrie, and that Immediately
after the killing some soldiers came to
his house and invited him to visit Gov.
Patterson at Camp Memo, and that
when he got there they would not let
him go away again.
On cross-examination, Marshall ad-
mitted that he has telephone in his
house; that he had ample time to in
form the sheriff of the meeting of the
Nightriders in the hollow the night he
was sworn in, but was afraid. He did
not know who was sheriff He went to
the meetings armed and masked. He
said that Fred Pinion and Frank Fehr-
niger usually notified him of the meet
ings, and became somewhat confused
as to which notified him the night
Thurman was whipped. He admitted
carrying a pistol to the meeting, but
didn t know who he was carrying it for, |
and finally said he carried it just be-
cause he wanted to.
The Marshall Nightrider trial was re-
sumed Tuesday morning with the de-
fendant on the stand. Marshall was
more composed, the nervousness which
his action day before hav-
ing almost entirely disappeared. The
is attempting to show that
the confession of Ben McMurtrie who,
ON the stand Monday, acknowledged
he purjured himself in the first trial,
when he testified to Marshall's where
abouts on the night of the murder,
would have been an alibi, and that wit
lesses had been summoned for that
The witness was closely questioned
llong this line, but he denied any {
whatever of what McMurtrie
testifying
Later he was asked the question point
-
'lank: When he had decided not to
rove an alibi, " and answered he did j
ot know. He denied that he had ever
nought of turning States evidence or
snt any friends to see Gov. Patterson :
bout giving him pardon if he would
0 so. Further eross-examination de- q
eloped nothing new, and with a smile :
satisfaction Marshall left the stand =

VIM. Pettus.
Yours very truly,
c. i. RIDINGs.

| ~ AA4' = SVVUDs
VIM. Pettus, an honored and aged
citizen of this city, died at his residence
on Home street Sunday morning at 10
O'Clock, Jan. "a, 1909
Mr.. Pettus was a little more than S4
years of age and was physically and
mentally active up to few days of his
death. The immediate cause was heart
failure, superinduced by Indigestion
and accompanying functional decline,
Death occurred while Mr. Pettus was
sitting in chair talking to DR.. ID. M.
Pearce, and members of the family were
present as the soul of the good man
passed out. He died without a strug-
gle, and so ends the temporal existence
OF a life full of years and usefulness.
Mr.. Pettus was man of strong char
acter, blended with a warm and kind
" nature. His philosophy was broad
and sound. The moral elements in him
prevailed, yet he was not an extremist.
He was honorable in every way and
good man whose virtues are among the
greatest of bequests to the living His
home he loved and guarded carefully
and prayerfully, and his memory will
be revered long after the pain of sepa-
ration is forgotten. Following is a BIZ
ographical sketch by friend:
William Pettus was born June 16,
1924, in South Carolina, near the North
Carolina line, of English parentage. In
1929 he came with his father and moth
er from Charlotte, n c., near the place
of his birth, to Huntingdon, Tenn, and
a year later moved to Gibson County
near Yorkyille, where he was reared to
He was first married to Miss
NJ A. Mcdaniel Dec. 10, 1870. His
wife having lived but a short while, on
IAN. |, 1879, he was married to Miss
A. E. Mcdaniel who, with two daugh-
ers, Mrs. EdnaRufin and Miss Pearl
survive hifn. lie moved to the vicinity
# Union City just before the Civil War
N md has lived N G City since 1884.
