BOWIE ADDRESSES
CROWD AT VERNON

Vernon, February 24.-(Special. is.
j. Bowie addressed large and appre-
ciative audience in the courthouse here
at 1880 o'clock this afternoon in be-
half of the candidacy Of Oscar Under
wood for the Senate. The crowd was
very appreciative and attentive The
audience was anywhere from 1900 ia
1000, and showed very plainly that they
were going to support the man Tor
the United States Senate who was on
the job.
Mr.. Bowie was at his best and
showed conclusively how valuable the
services of Oscar w. Underwood have
been to the people of Alabama and to
the people of the United States. and
how successfully he had climbed from
the bottom round of the ladder to tho
top. He laid bare the record of Hob
son and showed that he was insincere
in his position on prohibition. Nine
tenths of the people here are for I'm
derwood
NJ. T. Ormond attempted to answer
the argument of Mr.. Bowie, but fell
far short, being on a line with the
speech he made in Tuscaloosa q few
days ago. The other candidates for
county offices are getting busy and il
seems like DR.. NJ. r. Seay is leading
for the state senate.

YOUNG MAN KILLED
WHILE ASLEEP IN BED
Lehman Terry, Lawrence
Citizen, Meets Death
Near COurtland

Courtland, February 2f.-(Special.) J
Lehman Terry was shot and instantly
killed at the home of Ed Smith, near
lhls town, yesterday morning and the
coroner's jury returned verdict hold
ing Ed Smith and his sister, Miss Vim
Smith, for the offense
1t seems that Terry was at a party
the night before with Miss Vim Smith.
returning late to the home of Ed Smith,
where he spent the night.
1d Smith testified before the cor
oners jury that soon after day as he
was sitting in his room, ne heard a
gun shot from the room where Terry
was sleeping; that he went into the
room and found his little boy years
of age with gun In his hand and
smith In the bed dead that the boy
had been in the habit of cooking the
gun and swapping it,
The physician who examined the
body of Terry testified that 1t was
impossible for the little 4-year-old boy
TO have fired the shot that ended Ter
ry's life. That wound was inflicted
about the neck and the path of the
load was from the neck toward the
root, and In downward direction; thas
the person firing the gun must have
held 1t considerably above the form of
the sleeping man when 1t was fired, and
that from the height of the boy and
the height of the bed it was a phys
ical impossibility for him to have fired
the shot.
Considerable excitement has been
worked up over the killing as Lehman
Terry belonged to one of the largest
ana most worthy families in the coun-
ty. and on the other hand the Smiths
are all well thought of.
The preliminary examination is set
FOR today before John A. Gilchrist.

1t is the general comment about the
courthouse that the jury is above the
average in the matter of intelligence, and
that a Montgomery jury of average in
telieence is an intelligent jury.
To all appearances this city has taken
holiday on account of the trial While
lady present was the exception, every
body else at least paid his respect, by
looking into the arena. The capitol was
finely represented. The governor a tr,ne
.ate in arriving. took his seat immedi-
ately to the rear of his adviser, r. b.
Evins, and displayed the keenest interest
IN the arguments on demurrers. His
secretaries were present practically
throughout the day. and gossip is that
as long as the trial lasts. the governor OF
some immediate representative of his
will be on hand to watch every point
and every trend.
The majority of other officials of the
state attended the first session of the
trial. Among the witnesses are many
officials, examiners of public accounts,
candidates. bankers, politicians and other
people of wide acquaintance.
