Promises of speedy trial and the
indictment for murder in the first
degree BY a special grand jury. and
the secret removal OF the prisoner
last night. saved Willis Richardson
of Milburn, Carlisle county. KY,
small town 20 miles from Cairo,
from being the victim or mob from
his home town, where he shot and
killed John Violet, Saturday night.
The sheriff took Richardson from
the jail at Bardwell, Ky, the county
scat. to Wickliffe. the county seat
Of Ballard county.
Richardson shot Violet down In
cold blood. according to adyices
from Milbnrn. 1t Is said that Violet
left Pryor Sanford's store about 6
O'Clock and met Richardson. The
men bumped together and Richard
son began cursing Violet and accns-t,
sed him Of Intentionally jostling him

WV Violet Apologies. h
Violet backed away and apologize
I'd to Richardson, assuring him that
the blow was unintentional. This
incensed Richardson and he drew d
revolver Violet ran toward the
store and Richarson fred twice. The
second shot took effect and Violet
dropped dead as he stepped into the
store. He managed to gasp, 'He
shot me-"
Richardson was Immediately ar
rested by the town marshal and the
sheriff notified. The sheriff, who was
In Bardwell, eight miles away. OBJ
tanned an automobile and got Rich
ardson away from an angry crowd of
Milburn citizens.
Lynching Talked.
AT Milburn, that night, the men
began talking of lynching Richard
son and mob of about fifty gath
cred and were preparing to go to
Bardweli, when better counsel pre-
vailed. The excitement grew over
Sunday, and last night it was plan
ned to gather larger mob and get
Richardson.
The county officials heard Of the
proposed mob, when a Milburn citi-
zen called the County Judge and said
that the citizens want speedy trial
and, II there is any delay. they in
tend taking the matter out OF the
hands of the law. The sheriff went
to Paducah yesterday afternoon,
but the other officials, hastily called
the grand jury together and drew up
the indictment.
Dead Man a Farmer.
Violet, the dead man, is a farmer
living about a mile outside of Mil
burn. He was known as peace
able man and avoided trouble with
anyone. Richardson is young man
and. 1t is said, had threatened to
XIII someone before the night was
over.
When arrested Richardson began
acting insane. At the Bardwell Jail
he constantly talked and acted like
an insane person.
The decision to remove Richard
son to Wickliffe came when a Mil
burn physician called at the Bard
well jail and told the iailor that the
mob was preparing to come after
Richardson. The removal was made
secretly and in such way that not
even the citizens of Bardwell knew
the prisoner had been taken away.
Late last night Richardson was
removed from Wickliffe to Paducah,
thus putting all chance OF lynch
ing out of the way. II was said at
Wickliffe that mob had been form
ed and was headed for that city.

Belgrade-The Turkish fortress of
Monastir surrendered to the Servian
troops. Fifty thousand soldiers and
three generals laid down their arms.
The possession of the heights CON-
manding Monastir by Servian troops
under Crown Prince Alexander rem
dered the fortress untcnable.
Fethi Pasha, former Turkish minis
ter to Belgrade, was one of the first to
hand over his sword. At the beginning
of the war he made the remark:
1--WE will soon invite our friends 20
dinner in Belgrade"
Monastir has been surrounded by
Servian troops for several days, while
Greek troops coming from the south
had cut off the Turkish line of retreat
to Ochrida. Saturday the Servian
troops throughout the day and night
succeeded in capturing two important
heights commanding the city. Then
they advanced through the morasses
upon the inner fortification, which sur
rendered.
Monastir was the headquarters of
the Sixth Turkish army corps, COM
manded by Fethi Pasha, but many
other Turkish troops fleeing from sur
rounding towns which had been cap
tured by the Servians concentrated
there. Djavid Pasha, commander OF
the Seventh Turkish army corps, went
there with many of his soldiers after
the fall of Uskup to the Servians.
1t was thought that the Turkish
troops would be able to stand lengthy
siege in Monastir, but 1t is evident that
the army was totally disorganized and
lacked provisions. Many of the sol
diers were reservists only recently
callod to the colors.
Monastir occupied capital position
for defense. 1t Is the center of the
entire district and has population of
$4,000, composed of Servians, Bulgar-
ians, Albanians, Armenians and Turks.
The Christians number about half of
the inhabitants.
London. - -Constantinople reported
that the great battle at the left center
of the Chatalja lines continues and
vision attacked Bulgarian column
and routed it, capturing number Of
guns.
There is not word from the Turk
ish capital about the capture by the
Servians of Monastir, with Zekki Pa
Rha, commander-in-chief; Fethi Pasha,
a. one time minister to Belgrade;
Djavid Pasha, and other important Of
ficers, prisoners Of the Servians. who
have taken forty-seven guns and large
stores Of ammunition.
This surrender wipes out the last
Turkish fighting force in Macedonia.
The Servians and Greeks are now free
to Join the battle line Of the Bulgar-
ians before Chatalja. The fighting at
Monastir lasted two days.

WITNESSES TESTIFY
John L. Sherman Acquitted

Lester F. Bennet's bicycle and selling
the wheel at Del Ray, Va.
Sherman was arrested by Policeman
e. s. Wood, OF the Fifth precinct, and
was brought to court today. The de-
fendant said to the court There
wasn't a chance that I'd give away
whisky to boys or to anyone else on
Tuesday. 1 wanted all the whisky i
could get and l couldn't get enough
that day"
A sergeant from the Marine Corps and
several privates testified in Sherman's
behalf The sergeant said that he or
dered Sherman out of bar room five
squares away from the place where
Williams said the liquor was given, at
1920 o'clock, the time that Williams
claimed he got the whisky from Sher-
man.
The sergeant said Sherman obeyed
hi mand left the saloon without taking
Marine Barracks. Recalled to the wit
ness stand by Judge Pugh the Williams
boy admitted that he had no right to
accuse Sherman.
