three years. 1t is further stated that
he had told her only recently that il
he saw her with any other man that
three shots will do the work" This
could not be verified by the young
lady. According to her statement
she had told him that she could not
regard him as lover and that there
could never be anything between
them but friendship. She said that
he did not appear angered at this and
made no threats to her. but maintain
Cd his friendly attitude toward her
and the family. He was at the home
on Sunday night, and also on FRIDAY
night. just the night before the trag-
edy.. On neither occasion did he do
or say anything to cause her to sus-
pect that he contemplated any harm
to her.
It has developed, however, that he
lad been heard by others to make
threats, and had manifested his dis
pleasure over the attentions Of young
men toward the girl on numerous oc-
casions. Everything indicates that
he had thoroughly made up his mind
that he would make three shots do
the work" He followed the couple
into the Dixie Theatre and took a
seat Immediately in their rear. When
they started home, going into Martin
& Golfers for bottle of medicine,
Hanoway was seen watching them
through the window. They went into
Eharber's store at Ninth and Main
and there he was seen again. A lit
tie further south the couple heard
footsteps as if the party wanted to
pass but when they bore to one side
and no one passed and she looked to
see why she discovered that it was

The police were on the square and
heard the shots and screams and
went at once to the scene, arriving

wounded and dying men were remov-

to do but to lend their aid in reliev-

Miss Bessie Hurt, whose failure to
return the affections Of Hanoway was
the cause of the murder and suicide,
lis considered very attractive young
woman, is the daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs Ira Hurt, and with her father
is employed at the pencil factory.
Her wounds are not considered seri-

less some unlocked for complications
develop that she will recover rapidly.
Rufus Hunt, the victim of Hano-

of seven sons, all of whom were en-

lion against any duly enacted law o.
the sovereign state. as is now being
done in Tennessee. The State Of
Ohio has such a law as the one un
der discussion. and Gov. Harmon has
madeconservative and effective use
OF it within the last two years. AS
II now recall. several other states
have laws which reserve to the state
the right and power to protest its
own enactments from the contenaptu
GUS notification of unfaithful city
officials. The State Of Alabama has
a very strong statute, under which
the Governor may and does remove
|derelict officials.
There is but little danger that
any Governor would abuse this pow-
er.
Control Of the Police.
Fifth-It has been proposed in one
bill already introduced In the Gener-
al Assembly that the Governor be
given control of the police and fire
departments of the cities. This is a
more generous bestowal of power
than any Governor would want or
than reason would dictate. No Gov.
ernor or other state official should be
authorized by the Legislature TO
have any control or supervision of
the purely local affairs of city.
There is no more reason why the
Governor should have control of the
IRE department of city than there
Is for his control Of street paving or
the water system. These matters
are altogether local in their nature.
but the criminal lawns Of the State
of Tennessee are not local.

In the prosecution of violations OF
the four-mile law This proposition
is not novel, as said officials already
have the authority to employ special
counsel In specific cases, The pro
posed law would merely enable them
to make this employment for gen.
eral line Of cases in a particular
court instead of for one special case.
This law would be helpful to such
local Attorney General as might ap.
pear to be In need of either moral or
legal support. It would not only
give direct assistance in the prosecu.
ton of cases, but would enable the
public to know the inside facts as to
the enforcement Of this law. This
feature would exert strong infu
ence upon public sentiment.
Eighth--A general jury commission
law of statewide application should
be enacted. 1t would prevent the
shameful packing Of travis and
grand juries that is now practiced in
certain counties. The public welfare
demands that no criminal judge.
elected by the elements of lawless-
ness, should have the unhampered
power to pack and dominate the
uries of his court. Such state of
affairs Is a disgrace to civilization, a
travesty on justice and the swift
fererunner of fearful public for NOR.
alization.
Good Name Of Tennessee.
The suggestions herein made are
not partisan. They are made in the
interest Of the good name and we'll
being of Tennessee. If any of them
are not wise they are well intended.
II members Of the Legislature have
better plans to offer to preserve the
sanctity of the law and prevent the
pollution Of the public morals, I will
gladly adopt and advocate them.
There Is a class of dull-minded
dumb brutes In human form who
coarsely accuse every advocate of
law enforcement Of hypocrisy
want them to know that an over
whelming majority of the best people
IN this state away from the dirt and
vice and Crime of the city sluns-
stand for sobriety, hate the open cal
Don and the gambling hell, honor the
law, demand its enforcement, love
their homes and their state and fear
God, the Author of all law.
This General Assembly now has an
opportunity to accomplish a great
work for Tennessee, and with this
opportunity there goes tremendous
responsibility to this and future gen.
erations. Respectfully submitted.
