Sturdevant Claims Self Defense

Upon a charge of numbering Henry
Story, a negro, Lee Sturdevant. col
ored. was arrested Friday ievening
about 80 O'Clock at the Louisville
and Nashville depot and lodged in jail
by Patrolman Fred Link.
2 Sturdevant has been fugitive from
justice for several months. After the
shooting of Story he made his escape,
eluding the officers and made his way
to Tennessee, where he has since been.
He claims he came to this city with
view of sgiving himself up to the
officers and stand trial.
The negro was employed at the camp
of d. B. Lacy & Son. near this city,
and on the night of October 26 went
to the construction camp of HOugh &
Spradling, near this city, where The
was. engaged in crap game with
number of other negroes. Following
an argument it is said by eye-witnesses
to the affair that Story tblew out the
lamp in the house where the negroes
were engaged in the game and began
shooting. Two shots were fired at
Sturdevant, when he drewthis revolver
and returned the fire. One shot took
effect in Story'.s head. inf1ictine a
mortal wound. He was removed to a
Lexington hospital, where with a bul
letEin his brain he fingered for several
days before he died.
When taken into custody the negro
acknowledged his identity and said he
! had come from Tennessee to surrender
to the authorities here. For about fif-
teen years he had been employed by
the firm of Lacy & Son, and was
always regarded as peaceable negro,
and one of their. .most valuable Iaborers
! He claims he acted in self defense.
| Story is said 10 have been a desper-
ate character and bore a bad reputa-
tion. He had been wounded eight
times previous to that time and in
each instance his attending physicians
pronounced. his wounds fatal, but each
time he recovered.
The examining trial of Sturdevant t
will be held in the county court this
afternoon at two o'clock.

Eighteenth Century Portraits in
Little

The extraordinary demand for por-
traiture which marked the England Of
the eighteenth century, a demand over
shadowing all others in the world Of
art at that time, had one effect Of
practical nature. 1t gave the minor
craftsman his chance. The fashion
able public liked TO be portrayed by
genius whenever possible. but Gains
borough and Sir Joshua could not have
filled all Of the available commissions,
even if they had given up dining ana
sleeping. Moreover, the grand por-
trait in oils was not alone in favor.
The water colorist, the pastellist and
the miniaturist were all popular. Thus,
while eighteenth century English por-
traiture is known chiefly through the
paintings Of Reynolds and his circle
and the superb meZzOtints reproduce
ing the works of those masters, some
OF its most charming souvenirs are
also to be found in the byways of the
art. Only recently we have had occa-
sion to touch upon the grace and inter

An American Artist in France
and Venice.

Mr.. George Elmer Browne, who has
a show at the Knoedler Gallery, is an
artist with whose work II Is really IN
spiriting to become acquainted. In the
preface to his catalogue II is stated
that he is pupil of Jules Lefebvre and
Tony Robert Fleury, and the inference
TO be drawn from this bit or bog
raphy is amply borne out by the pct
ures on the walls. They are Salon
pictures. Just such bold. well put to-
cether and workmanlike affairs as one
expects to flow from the conventional
Partisan training. But the Salon pict-
ure. though generally mechanical
piece of work, is not always and OF ne

Mr.. Browne uses both oil and water
color fle takes these mediums INTO
picturesque corners Of France or
Venice. studies either landscape or ar
chitecture and builds up vivid. robust
compositions, full OF the romantic
spirit to be found on historic scenes.
There is a water color here OF an an

would be hard To beat as souvenir

heard Of in modern times in the pos
session of the Marchese Gino Capponi,
but then, early in the last century, it
was attributed not to Botticelli, but to
Andrea del Castagno. When Capponi
died 1t was inherited by the Marchese
FarinoIa, of Florence. Morelli was the
first to ascribe the panel to Botticelli,
and later critics have confirmed his
Judgment. Mr. Brockwell relates that
some fourteen years ago the National
Gallery might have bought it for about
s.. 800. but the trustees neglected their
opportunity, and the price soon there
after went up to $1,000. Time passed
and the vendor asked as much as 500
