Howard Sayers, now to be tried for
helping Davis murder Charley
Moore, aud also TO rob the bank

of cattle, the robbing of the express
train at Ficklnger station, eight
miles south of here, and not far

he secured $500, some six years
ago.
The murder Of Charley Moore
near Mammoth Spring in February
last, for which Davis Is to be tried
at Salem next Tuesday, is regarded
as the minor offense of Davis, for
Moore was a desperate who had to
his credit the killing of five men,
aud who always boasted that he set.
tied his differences out of court at
the end Of his navy-six. 1t was for
one of these acts that DAVIS way
laid Moore and shot him, the first
time unsuccessfully, but three
months afterwards successfully.
Davis was met IN the road one day
by Moore, who had lost a COW, aud
suspecting Davis upon general prin.
clples of having stolen the COW, he
drew bis revolver aud made him put
up the money. For this act DAVIS
enlisted the help Of Howard Sayers
aud Ben Jones aud a butcher by
the name of Smith, who is indicted
as an accessory, and among the lot
they succeeded IN numbering
Moore.
This act is the only one Of which
the state has real convincing eyi.

fused either a charge of venue or

The two faetions-one composed
OF Davis, Sayers aud tue two Bur.
row boys, aud the other one of DR..
Jones and his son, Ben-became
disIrustful Of each other when DIR.
Jones insisted upon being the Gus
lodian Of the loot until such a time
as the public became reoonuiled 10
the act and they should divide it.
Ihls did not meet the approval Of
the Davis faction, so without ap.
Prlsing any Of the gang of their
move the Burrows gave the bank
officials the tip; but the day before,
Davis had taken one Of the bank
officials into his confidence aud let
out their plans. After finding out
that the Burrows had also tipped
oil the proposed robbery, Davis
then planned with the Burrows TO
manipulate the RAID so as TO get
both Jones and his son, Ben, killed.
The latter was to be killed by the
officers Of the law in the bank, aud
Doc Jones was TO he shot by How.
ard Sayers, who was stationed out
OF view close to Jones, while Lee
Burrow was helping with the horses
on the roadside out Of town. When
Sayers heard the shots in town and
knew Ben Jones was shot, instead
OF shooting Jones he turned upon
Lee Burrow aud shot him twice.
The public has until the last few
! days believed that Jones shot Bur
row, and Burrow so testified before
the grand jury, but Sayers went
before the same jury and swore that
he shot Burrow himself and Jones
had no hand IN il. Sayers and
Jones now have joined hands to get
Davis either into the penItentiary
for life or get his neck broken for
the murder of Moore, and TO that
end have gwen the state all the aid
they eau by going before the grand
jury and making a clean breast Of
the gangs operations for the past
five years. Once Davis is behind
the bars, Jones and Sayers will
plead for mercy, and the former
get a light sentence, while the latter
will probably be satisfied with ten
or fifteen years. Davis Nemesis
is Mrs. Jersey Jones, wife of Doc
Jones and mother Of the boy, Ben,
that was killed. She was present
at many OF the midnight plots oil
the gang, and even the most drastic
crossexamination fails TO shake her
resentful and convincing evidence
that carries down to punishment
also Howard Sayers now a strong
ally Of her husband. Accredited TO
Davis is the murder of old man

llowship, and as an expression of the
esteem, confidence and goodwill felt
by them toward the retiring president:
Resolved that in the resignation

scientious public servant, to the stu
dent body of true friend and helper,
to the faculty of one whose unselfish-
ness and generous consideration of
others made his daily task an inspira-
ton to good works and high ideals.
