and most interesting courts held in a
long time. Judge T. C. Kimbrough Of

case which will attract considerable
attention is that of c. C. Kemp, who
is charged with the killing Of M. A.
Shurden at Sturgis in the early part
of the year. Hons. G. Ode Daniel and
B. F. Bell represent the defendant and
District Attorney H. H. Brooks, Jr.,

Every inch of ground will be stub

diagrams and photographs of the
scene of the tragedy will play an i'm

states theory will be that Shurden
was assassinated by Kemp, who lay in
wait and shot him from ambush, while
the defense claims that the murdered
man brought on the trouble.
Kemp, who was shot by Shurden on
a former occasion, has nearly recov-
