 The fact shat Odus Davidson had been confined in jail here ever since he was first arrested, save the time he was on trial, made his case of more than passing interest to the people of Berryville. Many of the citizens of the town and community frequently visited him at the Jail; his attorneys had been here in numerous consultations with him and his father and mother and other members of the family con tinued to visit him to within week of his execution. His fate was almost the sole topic from Saturday afternoon, when the news came that his attorneys had practically given up all hope, til the telephone message came at H. 30 a. m Monday that he had been swung into eternity. The arrival of the sheriff of Boone county with heavily armed posse of deputies on Saturday evenings train signihed that the strong arm of the law was about to execute the decree of the court. An immense crowd surged about the jail Sunday morning long before the car riage drove up to convey the prisnoer to the depot. Newspaper men from several cities were here with pencil and kodak. With Deputy Sheriff Cad Snow in the lead, an armed deputy on either side and a posse in the rear, the huge outside jail door swung open and Davidson walked out with quick step and manacled wrists and, unas- sisted, stepped into the carriage and took his seat, while the curious throng peered at his white face and reddened eyes. A rush was then made to the depot by the onlookers and every van tage ground sought in order to get last glimpse of the man who had been charged, tried and convicted of the murder of Miss Ella Barham near her home in Boone county on the 22nd day of last November, crime that in all of its details was the most brutal and revolting in the annals of the states history. While all had Q ray of sympathy in a general way for the condemned man, yet net a parting word was spoken, a flower offered, or q tear shed, so thoroughly convinced were they that he was guilty. He was clean shaven and dressed in pair of blue trousers, with belt; spotlessly white shirt and soft collar and the same gray, yet well brushed and carefully crimped crown, hat that he wore when he was first arrested, the hat that he should have tipped to the beautiful Miss Ella Barham on that Hateful day instead of taking her life and dismem- bering her body. Dr. " A. Harvey was chosen to be one of the attending physicians at the execution and he went to Harrison to assist in making the announcement that the fiat of the law had been carried out and that the demands of justice had been met
