MUHLENBERG Is TO BE
DRY-COURT'S DECISION

Greenville. Ky, July 16.-Muh-
lenberg county will be dry, accord
ing to an opinion given by Judge
W.P. Sandidge in the contested cleo
ton case in the Circuit Court here.
This case was submitted for trial
at the April term. The opinion Of
the court was handed down to-day.
Muhlenberg county went dry by
large majority at the election held
for that purpose, and was contest
ed by the "wets" on the idea that
Judge Rice acted fraudulently in or
dering the election after the petit
tions calling for ii had been filed
on Saturday and the election order
ed on the following Monday. with
out giving the "wets" time to Sc
cure further evidence.
In his opinion Judge Sandidge
says: THE county court heard all
of the evidence that was then Of
fered by the parties. 1t is true that
the Judge refused to continue the
case TO another day, in order to give
the parties opposing the election an
opportunity to secure further evil
dence. The granting of continu-
ance for this purpose was IA matter
purely within the discretion of the
county Judge. Such action on his
part would not invalidate the cleo
tion unless he acted fraudulently. l
do not think the evidence would
justify me In concluding that his
conduct was improper or that his
acts We're wrongful and fraudu-
lent"
An appeal will be taken by tho
"wets" and will probably stand for
trial in the Court of Appeals at the
January. 1914. term.

then came on with Mr.. Black"
His arrest came as complete
surprise, both to himself. members
of his family and the neighbors.
Allen said that he intended to
endeavor to obtain pardon, but
doesn't know how successful he
may be. He feels, he said, that
many members of the family, de-
scendants of the man he killed, will
indorse his plea for pardon. Some
of them, however, still hold the
grudge against him, he thinks. If
the worst comes. he will serve his
term with fortitude, however.
Allen would not discuss the kill
ing much. He fears that if he gives
out interviews concerning il that ne
may arouse further feeling concern
ing himself. He insists, however,
that he killed Tucker in self-defense
and that he did not get fair trial
He charged that his conviction was
the result of perjured testimony.
Sheriff Black, the arresting Off
GER, spent last night at the Willard
Hotel. To reporter for the Her.
aid he gave the meager facts in his

could not give the details of the
shooting.

the convict was comparatively easy.
Sheriff Black indicated that the
man might have been arrested years
before. had relatives of the family
taken the initiative sooner.
Sheriff Black remarked that per-
haps it was for the best after all
that Allen fed from justice as he
did. Feeling in those days ran high
in Casey county. Both families had
many friends and feud might have
resulted which would have extend
ed itself even to this generation.
Aliens absence for more than a
quarter of century. even though
the ends of justice were defeated,
