SPENCER CASE
COMES BACK
Supreme Court Upholds
Court of Civil Appeals as
to Insurance Case.
MUST HAVE new TRIAL
Court of Civil Appeals Held That
Trial Judge Erred in Taking
Case Whereby Hester Spencer
Was Suing for $1,000 Insur-
ance From Volunteer State
Life Insurance Company

The Supreme court of Tennes-
see on Saturday handed down a
decision affirming the decision of
the Court of Civil Appeals, which
sent the Spencer-Volunteer State
Life insurance case back to the
circuit court for new trial.
Thus this case continues lax in
the courts, and the facts sensation
al Jas they were recalled. The
case grew out of the murder of
Andy Slagle by Spencer and when
Spencer's body was found in a
rain barrel at Jonesboro, two days
later it was announced that he
committed suicide. This was well
come announcement for the insur-
ance company which carried a
thousand dollars insurance on
Spencer's life which became void
according to suicide clause.
However the widow who had
two little boys left on her hands
was not satisfied with the verdict
OF the coroner's jury which stated
that her husband had committed
suicide, so she made an effort to
collect the insurance. The case
has been in court every since. In
the trial before circuit court at
torney for Mrs. Spencer resisted
the proof Of suicide, the burdin of
proof being on the insurance COM
pany to show that he had commit
ted suicide, but the presiding
judge, Judge Coleman of Morris
town took the case away from the
jury and directed that a verdict
be rendered in favor of the insur-
ance company. The widow then
carried the case to the court of
Civil Appeals and here it was de-
cided that the Judge had erred in
taking the case from the jury and
a new trial ordered. The insur-
ance company carriedit to the Su-
preme court and here a verdict
was on Saturday redered affirm
ing the decision of the Court of
Civil Appeals.

We don't want Cooke county citi-
zens of that sort in this county,
not at least until soft-drink stands
are closed UP. They had made it
up in Packs stand to kill McBee
and that is what they did," he de-
clared emphatically.
In conclusion Gen. Mynatt cab
ed on the justices Of the peace to
send the men to Jail without bond.
He declared that the character of
the men and the character of the
place in which he alleged to kill
McBee showed that they would
and did murder the victim of Mon
day nights tragedy, he said.
The trial of Pack was not with
out its pathetic side, his wife and
five small boys being by his side
all through the trial. AT the time
the youngest, a babe in arms, would
cry and Pack would endeavor to
quiet it, while at other times he
nursed one of his small boys
tenderly.
Gen. R. L. Gates and Gen. j. R.
Penland, attorneys for the de-
Tense, endeavored to secure the
dismissal of John Pack and Charles
Pack, brothers of the principal in
the case, concentrating mcuh Of
their argument on them. They
sought to show that they hac
nothing to do with the case, but
happened to be spectators on the
night of the tragedy.
Gen. Penland, in summing UP
his arguments for the defense, de-
clared that a conspiracy had been
connected among a number Of
rowdies on the night of the killing
to get rid of Ben Pack" McBee,
the victim of the Monday night
broil, he declared to have been
cock of the walk" stating that
he was hunting for trouble. He
said that he imagined he had a
motive to get rid of Pack, that he
was intoxicated" He said that
he went up the street following
the Pack boys in order to pick a
quarrel with Ben Pack.
