NOR THERN'S SENTENCE
IS LIFE IMPRISONMENT

Knoxville, Nov. 25.-The supreme
court today commuted to life i'm mprison-
ment the death sentence of Robt. N orth-
ern for the killing of Wesley Presnell.
Northern was found guilty by the
Washington county court, the jury re-
turning verdict of first degree murder
with mitigating circumstances. Judge
Dana Harman disregarded the latter
recommendation and sentenced North
ern to hang.
Justice Lansden said the court could
find no mitigating circumstances, but
the fact that the jury had done so, the
supreme court would modify the judges
sentence.
The killing occurred the latter part
of July. The men were going home
together After chatting with a rela-
tive of Presnell they entered a wood
land. Nothing was then heard of Pres
nell for two weeks, when his body was
found.
Northern was arrested and admitted
he shot Presnell, but claimed self-de-
fense. He could never give satisfac.
tory reason for not entering this claim
at the time the crime was committed.

NO POLITICS IN
APPOINTMENT

Nashville, Nov. 27.-That the ap-
pointment of w. G. Large, of Sewer
county, as deputy warden at the main
prison, was strongly recommended by
DR.. Massey, candidate for congress
against Sam Sells, is the answer which
Prison Commissioner Beasley makes
to the charge of his political enemies
that the appointment was of special
political significance. 1t had been
charged that Mr.. Large was member
of the congressional committee that Or
dered a convention for the purpose of
selecting a successor to Congressman
Sells in the First district and that his
appointment as deputy warden was in
the nature of reward for his having
voted for primary.
Mr.. Beasley's statement follows: 81
notice in a morning Nashville paper
the statement that w. &. Large was
appointed deputy warden OH account
of his vote in favor of primary cleo
tion the recent congressional committee
meeting in the First district. In reply
to this, it is only necessary for me to
state that Mr.. Large is man of such
recognized integrity and is so free from
political factionalism that both the
friends and opponents of Congressman
Sells endorsed him, in fact, Dr. Massey,
the competitor of Mr.. Sells, endorsed
him very strongly"

THE NEWPORT
POSTMASTERSHIP
TO Be TEST OF INFLUENCE
The Resignation of o. L. Hicks
Has Created Great Deal of In
terest IN Cooke County.

Newport, Nov. 27.-The resignation
of .. L. Hicks as treasurer of the Sol
diers' Home, at Johnson City, has Gre
ated great deal of interest in this
county. The main point of interest is
the avowed intention of Mr.. Hicks TO
"come to Newport to be appointed
postmaster.
Such announcement was made from
johnson City, when Mr.. Hicks sent in
his resignation, which WAS published
widely throughout the state Up to
the present time, no denial has been
given, SO it is reasonable to suppose
that Mr.. Hicks has entered ihe contest
as an applicant for the postotfice. The
fight, heretofore, has been between g.
w. Gardner, an original Sells man,
and Representative f. w. Parrott, a
lukewarm friend of Sells, but an ardent
supporter and personal friend of Gov.
Hooper.
The friends of Gardner insist that he
should have the appointment because
he was staunch friend of Congress.
man Sells when he was comparatively
unknown and when very few promi-
nent republicans would dare raise their
voices against Brownlow rule. In this
entire county, which is overwhelming
ly republican, only two leading repub-
licans stood by Sells in his first cam
paign. Those two were John Meas,
ex-shenff of the county, and George
Gardner.
Meas is boosting Gardner for the Of
flee, and is doing valiant work for Sells
in his present fight.
Gardner is indorsed by nearly all the
patrons of the office, and is very popu-
lar with the people of the county, ire
spective of politics.
Parrott's friends urge his appoint
ment because, as fusionist in the leg
isIature, he helped to rout the whisky
forces by taking a vacation in Alabama
during the fierce fight when the liquor
people seemed to be in the majority.
Both Gov. Hooper and Congressman
Sells were in sympathy with the runa.
way Legislature, and this fact in addi-
tion to the warm personal friendship
that has always existed between Gov.
Hooper and Representative Parrott, is
urged as reason for his appointment.
Parrott's claims, however, are cons d.
erably discounted in the minds of the
Sanders crowd by the fact that he was

AS TO WHAT HE SAID
TO REPUBLICAN
EXECUTIVE COM M|TTEE
Unprotected Primary, Biggest of
Political Frauds-Convention
Lesser of the Two Evils.

Hon. A. A. Taylor, has prepared a
statement of what he said at the recent
meeting of the republican executive
committee meeting at Bulls Gap. In
full it follows:
81 was invited by the executive COM
mittee to appear before it at its meet
ing at Bulls Gap and give my opinion
as the the best method of nominating
candidate for congress. In expressing
my opinion took the ground that the
committee had to take choice of one of
two evils-as both the convention and
primary, the only two methods in
vogue, had of late years developed into
crying evils. favored the convention
method as the least of the two evils and
proceeded to give my reasons. I have
been criticised so fiercely and misquot-
ed so persistently, both in and out of
the state, that | have determined 10
give out a signed statement showing
exactly what was said by me on the
occasion referred to, and the connec.
tion in which it was said.
'In support of my position, among
other things I said: "The shocking
statement was made to me this morn
ing by gentleman of responsibility
that 35 per cent of the voters would sell
their votes in primary. l was amaz-
ed and shocked at this statement but,

Gus instances showing the unblushing

MR.. CAPLES HIGH IN
COUNCILS OF C. & o.

In connection with a story to the eff,
feet that the reports that President
Stevens will resign from the Chesa-
peake and Ohio, the Richmond Even
ing Journal comments upon NJ. j. Ca
pies, who recently went to the g. & o.,
and who is well and favorably known
here. The Journal says:
at is probable that railroad gossip
recently has been increased by the ad-
vent of M. J. Caples in Richmond. Mr..
Caples, who has the title of fourth vice
president of the Chesapeake and Ohio,
undoubtedly is an interesting figure.
"To use the words of one on the in
side, Mr.. Caples is 10 be the "under-
study" of President Stevens. He began
his work in this city November l, and
will have complete charge of operation.
Although comparatively young man
Mr. Caples has not yet advanced far
in the forties-he is veteran in the
matter of railroad experience. For a
long time he was associated with the
Norfolk and Western, and more re-
Gently he has been vice-president and
general manager of the Carolina
Clinchfield railroad.
ain a way Mr. Caples is find of
President Stevens. The latter met him
on several occasions and was so inn
pressed that some weeks ago he invited
him to New York. There very peril
nent question was sprung on him.
p "Mr. Caples was asked point blank
if he would like to be fourth president
of the Chesapeake and Ohio in charge
of operations. Without any coquettIng
he said yes.
"And there and then the deal was
closed.
"The Carolina Clinchfield people
did what they could to hold Mr.. Caples,
but all in vain. He knew the offer
coming to him, was rattling good one
and SO he decided to come to Richmond.
"Mr. Caples' association with Mr..
Stevens will be most intimate, and as
he is tremendous worker he will re.
lieve the president of great deal of
work. He is thoroughly well rounded
in railroad matters and it is hardly go.
ing too far to predict that some day he
may be railroad president himself.
In fact, it is frankly admitted that
there is possibility of his being the
and Ohio president some
day.
"Mr. Caples, by the way, is an Irish
man by birth, will do the work former
Iy done by the late Chas. +. Doyle. 1t
is pretty generally conceded that mag.
niticent opportunities are before him
and that he has the ability to seize
them.
"The Chesapeake and Ohio directors,
in addition to knowing that through |
the selection of Mr.. Caples they have
relieved Mr.. Stevens of an immense
burden of work, will feel more comfort
able in having so competent an under
study in the office of the president.

low "machine," and was not a sup
porter of Sells in his first race.
Mr.. Hicks was not friend of Sells
during his first race, although his
friends claim he did vote for him
when it was seen he was winner. He
has been a protege of Gov. Hooper since
he was small boy, and owes numer
GUS political favors to the governor.
His appointment us treasurer of the
Soldiers Home was direcly due to
Hooper.
The belief prevails here that If MIR.
Hicks is appointed postmaster here it
will be altogether a Hooper appoint
ment, as he is not Endorsed by either
the patrons of the office or Congressman
Sells. A few weeks ago the report was
circulated that Hicks would become
candidate because of charges having
been preferred against him as treasurer
of the Soldiers Home. This report he
vehemently denied, and it appears his
candidacy is simply the result of his
being temporarily out of job. Gov.
Hooper, some time ago. assured his
Cooke county friends that he wouldn't
have anything TO say in this appoint
ment. The belief is that if the appoint
ment is left to Congressman Sells the
office will go to Gardner, and if Hooper
makes it his protege, Hicks, will get
the job.
Should the governor land Hicks for
the office he will lose the support of
great many friends who were his active
during his gubernatorial
