 ing in Many Years.

Prosecut- ing Attorney T. Havis Nixon, now serving his first term as district at torney of the Eleventh judicial dis trict, scored his first capital punish ment victory yesterday afternoon it, the Jefferson circuit court, when a jury, after nine minutes deliberation returned verdict of murder in the first degree against Blackburn for the murder of Mary Gordon. The death penalty for first degree murder has not been overruled in the his tory of such palpable crime and when Circuit Judge A. B. Grace pas ses sentence on Blackburn in three days the aentence will undoubtedly be hanging hy the neck until dead.

The old negroes grandchild lived some distance away on the road. The aged couple left at once for their children's home.
