|. HARROD FACES
MURDER CHARGE
KILLED ALBERT M'DANIFL
PLAINTIFFS IN STRICKLAND
CASE TAKE NON-SUIT-MC-
GINTY ACQUITTED.


The trial of Laney Harrod on
charge of murder in the second de-
gree for killing Albert Mcdaniel,
which was taken up in the Faulkner
circuit court at the opening of the
session this morning, is in progress
as the Log Cabin Democrat goes to
press and will probably not go to the
jury before Thursday morning. Har-
rods alleged crime was committed al
most exactly one year ago, July Is,
1911.
According to the evidence develop
ed, Harrod and Mcdaniel, while off
in the woods about four miles north
of Beryl, in company with Grover
Harrod, a cousin to both parties,
quarrelled, and Mcdaniel, who is al
legged to have been drinking, attempt
ed to force Harrod to dance by draw
ing a pistol on him. Harrod then
raised shotgun and fired the con-
tents of both barrels into the body of
Mcdaniel, who died instantly. Har-
rod is being represented by J. H.
Harrod of Little Rock and the de-
PENDANTS brother, j. @. A. Harrod
of Oklahoma City. George w. Clark
is being assisted in the prosecution
by R. w. Robins
The jury in the case of the state
against Frank McGinty, charged
with carnal abuse, after balloting
throughout the morning reported to
the court at noon that an agreement
was impossible. Judge Hutton, how
ever, advised them to retire and en-
deavor again to reach verdict, and
about 2 o'clock this afternoon the
jury reported verdict of not guilty.
Late yesterday afternoon Judge
Hutton granted change of venue in
the case of G. r. Strickland ct al VS..
M. Strickland, Jr., and sent the case
to the northern district of Prairie
county for trial. The defendant in
troduced considerable testimony to
prove his contention that fair trial
could not be obtained in this county,
one witness testify:ng that articles in
the Log Cabin Democrat about the
case had prejudiced the people
against Strickland. This morning
the plaintiffs took non-suit, the case
being dismissed without prejudice. 1t
is understood another action will be
brought later by the same parties.
Other proceedings since yesterday
noon follow:
Smith Dempsey, admir-, VS.. Ry.;
dismissed at cost of plaintiff.

Attachments were issued yesterday
afternoon for Matte Britton and
Will Talent, charging them with
contempt of court for failing to ap
pear as witnesses in the case Of the
state against Frank McGinty.
The grand jury filed its first re-
port this morning, returning three
indictments, one for felony and two
for misdemeanor charges. None of
