WEEDS MAN AS He ENTERS
PRISON FOR LONG TERM

LEXINGTON. KY, May 2S.-Cupid
yesterday defied the forbidding sternness
of prison walls and silent guards TO join
the hearts of Ross Forbes and Miss Clara
VeHters a few hours before the former
departed from the Pikeville jail for
Frankfort to serve a long term in the
penitentiary for manslaughter.
Forbes, accompanied by number of
deputies, was taken into the court room,
where the bride awaited him, and the
marriage ceremony was performed. AS he
was led away by the officers she chung
to his neck, whispering good-by and re-
peating that sne would eagerly but pa
tiently aawit his return to her.
Forbes is a man of prominent connec-
ton, being a nephew of Judge Forbes, OF
the Pike judicial district. His defense
was that the killing was prompted by
the insult of a woman by his victim. but
the fact that. the man was shot in the
back as he ran overcame the chivalry
of the jury and Forbes was convicted of
murder in the second degree.
