BYRkETT DIED
 NATURAL DEATH State Chemist Finds No Trace of Poison In Viscera of
 Minturn Man.
Special to Independent.

opeclal to Independent.
 Little Rock, Dec. 12.-Dr. Vim. F. Mangledorf, state che mist, has rendered report to J. C. Land, coroner of Lawrence county, at Walnut Ridge, that no trace of poison was found in the stomach of Ora C. Byrkett. The chemist worked for 9 num- Der of days on the stomach, but every test came up an absolute blank, so the death of young Byrkett must have been from natural causes. Byrkett died Suddenly while sleeping in a chair, and on a table nearby was a partially empty whiskey bot tie. It was thought that Byr- kett had been posioned.
 The first test showed a large quantity of formaldehyde in the stomach and Dr. Mangledorf wrote back to secure further in- formation, being informed that this was the embalming fluid which was placed in the stom- ach. % sw # a&4ssA Al.ss.
 Byrkett was the second hus- band of Faire Belle Hill Shirey Byrkett. The tragic death of A. w. Shirey, the Minturn re- cluse who left the bulk of his fortune to the Odd Fellows, was a sensation a few vars ago, and the identity of the assassin has never been revealed. The young wife was separated from Shirey at the time of his death, but not divorced. After the settle ment with the young widow was made by the Odd Fellows, she married Byrkett, and was ap- parently happy with him. Mrs. Byrkett was away from home on a visit at the time of her hus- bands death.

Convict Gets The Advantage.

Special to Independent.
 Little Rock, Dec. l2-Undel
 a ruling by Attorney General
 w. L. Moose, sentences imposed
 upon a man convicted of more than one crime run conculrently,
 unless the judgment of the court
 specifically provides that the.y
 shall run consecutiVely. The O.
 pinion was given to Penitentiary Commissioner J V. Ferguson,
 in the case of one Lee Davis, as ! follows:
 Prom the papers enclosed find that Lee Davis was convict jed and sentenced in four cases on the 18th day of November in the Crawford county court. Two of the cases were for bur- glary and two for grand larceny. The statutes provide that the courts in such cases shall pro- vide that the punishment in one case shall not cOmence un- til after the termination of 1t in the others. The commitment does not show that the punish ment in one case is to begin af- ter the expiration of the punish ment in the others. So far as the commitment shows, the sen- tences will run concurrently, be- cause they do not specify that they are not to do so, In a case of ex parte Brady, 70 Ark, 376, the supreme court held that where the circuit court did not direct that the imprisonment of one case should commence aftef the termination of it in the oth- CT, the imprisonment in all the cases might run concurrently, so that the prisoner would be en- titled to his discharge on the expiration of the longest term adiudged against him.
 "So, unless you receive some official showing that these pun ishments should not run con- currently, it will be your duty 1 to discharge the prisoner on the expiration of the longest term of imprisonment awarded
 him."
 Under this ruling, Divis will
 be released at the expiration of tthree years instead of eight |years.

TEEN HOURS
 LEGAL LIMIT
For All Classes Of Working Men Says Moose Upon Complaint
 of Mill Men.
Special to Independent.

Special to Independent.
 Little Rock, Dec. 12.-The fol- lowing important letter has just been addressed by Attorney General Moose to Labor Con- missioner Clary, in response to query: -~s ''1 Sly >',"~
 "Your letter of this date with reference to Act 49, passed in 1905, regulating the hours of labor in saw and blaming mills, has been received. You state that some of the sawmills of the state have adopted a cus- tom of compelling their en- ployes to work ten hours and a half five days in the week and seven and a half hours on Sat urday, which, on the average, makes ten hours a day for six days. You ask whether this is lawful under the provision of the act aforesaid.
 q do not think it is,
 ''Section l of the Act provides that ten hours shall constitute ia legal days work for all class les of working men and laborers engaged in the operation ano Iconstruction of saw and plan. ling mills in this state. If ter hours is a legal days work, ter and a half is not legal. You will observe, too, that the ac1 provides for a days work an6 not a weeks work. If it is law
 full to work ten and a half hours
 the first five days of the week lit is lawful to work flftee1
 hours a day for the first foul
 days of the week, and then com pei the laborers to do nothing
 for the remainder of the week "You will also notice that il : Section 3 of the act, It IS pro } vided that each days violation
 of this Act or any part thereo
 shall be considered a separat F offense. The Act provides tha
 nothing therein shall preven 1 the employer or employe iron , contracting for a less number o . hours for legal days 'wofl
 than is mentioned in Section ] but it does not provide that the' r. may contract for a greater mum l Der of hours, so it is my oplnlol
 that when the company opera'
 inc the sawmill requires II : employes to work more tha.
 ten hours in any one day, it VI s plates not only the latter ou : the spirit of the act"
