Howard Savers Freed BY Jury.

Salem, April 25.- Howard
Savers, 25 years old, was this af-
ternoon acquitted by a jury in
the Fulton circuit court on the
charge of completely in the muir
der of Charles Moore, the Yer
dict closing one of the most SEN
sational trials in the history of
the county.
One of the members Of an al
legged gang of murderers, the
chances for young Sayers, the
community thought, were poor,
and when Lifus Davis, serving
time for his part in the killing of
Moore, was returned from the
state penitentiary to testify III
| the case, it was the belief that
Saytrs would be found guilty and
givnH a term. The verdict Of
the jury greatly surprised the
community, as well as the at
torneys for the prosecution, who
based their case on an alleged
confession by Savers, and the
testimony of Davis.
To the court Davis told a vivid
story of crime. He related at
length how he, Doc Jones, an
other alleged gangster and Say
ers met at the Jones home and
planned the murder. He said
Doc Jones provided the guns and
shells with which to do the kill
ing, and that he Davis) and
Savers drew straws to see who
would ''pot shot" Moore. Davis
concluded the narrative by say
ing, II drew the straw that sent
Moore to his death and me to
the pen."
The alleged gang to which
Savers and Davis are alleged to
have belonged has terrorized
this section of the country for
wears. Numerous deaths have
been laid to their door and Davis
and "Doc" Jones are now serv-
ing terms in the penitentiary.
The body Of Savers mother Was
found in a cistern on her farm
about one year ago. Through
his mothers death the young
man fell heir to her estate. The
mystery of this crime has never
been cleared.

BANK OF HELENA
CLOSES IT'S DOORS
Assets Are Said to Be Nearly a
Million Dollars Above
Liabilities.

Helena, April 25.-The Bank
of Helena, the oldest and sup
posedly one of the strongest
banks in eastern Arkansas, with
a capital and surplus of half a
million dollars, closed it's doors
this morning after the Board of
Directors had adopted resolu-
ton to liquidate the affairs Of
the bank. The assets are said
to be nearly a million dollars
more than the liabilities. E. C.
Horner, president of the bank,
assures the depositors of pay
ment, dollar for dollar.
The cause of the closing of its
doors as far as could be ascer-
tanned is outstanding paper
which could not be realized on.
It was stated that while there
is more than sufficient amount
of collateral outstanding to meet
the banks obligations, an effort
to get renewals from Eastern
banks recently was unsuccess-
full. This, it is said, was brought
about from a general tightness
in the money market, failures i
Memphis and the high water sit
uation here. The other banks
of this city came forward and,
it is said, offered Mr.. Horner
and the directors a half million
dollars. This offer was declin-
ed. Mr.. Horner declared that he
would not involve the entire
community in this difficulty
The closing of the Benz # j
ena was one of the greatest sur
prises that ever occurred here
in financial circles. The bank
was headed by men who have the
absolute confidence of the people.
No other business concerns are
involved. w. R. Satterfeld, al
torney, left this afternoon for
Wynne to ask chancellor Rob-
ertson to appoint a receiver to
wind up the affairs of the bank.
