TRENTON, eb. 6.-John Sears,the

death for the murder of the Rev. and
Mrs. Amzi L. Armstrong, at their

to what will become of his body than
as to the infection of the penalty.
In his cell today he expressed the
wish that the authorities would give
him a military funeral. Informed
that this would not be done, and that
the State would inter his body, the
prisoner asked If SIS would provide
him with decent burial He once

bears a remarkable affection for the
commander of the company and has
asked that his watch chain be given

BROTHERS-IN-LAW
In FATAL DUEL
TOM q. NORMAN SLAIN IN EAST
CHATTANOOGA BY DR..
SHERMAN.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Feb. g.
Tom B. Norman, of thi scity, was
shot and almost instantly killed in
East Chattanooga about 1870 o'clock
yesterday afternoon by DR.. ]. W.
Sherman, his brother-in-law.
The affair created a tremendous
sensation, especially in the suburb In
which they live. Various rumors are
given as the cause for the tragedy,
one being that Norman had mistreat-
ed his wife, his assailant's SISTER,
while another was to the effect that
the men had quarreled over the d.
vision of the estate of the father of
Sherman and the dead mans wife.
The shooting occurred in the pres
ence of Sherman's chauffeur, in Nor
mans store in East Chattanooga, the
dead man, unarmed, being struck by
three of the five bullets aimed at him.
He died thirty minutes later, and in
dying statement asserted that he
was shot without justification. Sher-
man was arrested while on the way
to jail to surrender himself, and was
released under $4,000 bond signed
by City Judge Martin Fleming, but
was rearrested without bond last
night upon recommendation OF the
coronor's jury, which returned a YER
dict of murder in the first degree.
The chauffeur was also arrested as
an accessory.
