ERWIN POPE CASE FOR
 FIFTH TIME IS BEFORE. THE SUPREME COURT.
Calhoun Negro Sentenced to Hang Five Times for the Murder of Miller
 Near Oxford

l Montgomery July 4-(Specia1)-For the
 fifth time the case of Erwin Pope, negro, is
 before the Supreme court. It was ssub-
 cision will probably be announced be- ], fore July |
 Popes case is considered the most re- markable in the criminal annals of the state. He has been convicted and sen tenced to hang five times for the murder
 of J. B. McClurkin, prominent farmer of Calhoun county, who lived near OK ford. The case has been before the su- preme court and has been reversed four times. Seven different days have been set for-the hanging.
 The killing of McClurkin occurred on the night of April 19, 1909. McClurkin was a miller by trade, and on that night was awakened about midnight by the noise of someone ,robbing his cotton gin. He got up, saddled his mule, and followed the robbers wagon tracks.
 The following morning his body was found horribly mutilated in a cotton patch near the town of Oxford. He had been knocked on the head with heavy club and his skull crushed with a large stone, which was found near the body.
 The principal witness against Pope was a negro named John Body. in front of whose home the killing occurred. Body swore that on the night of the murder he was awakened by screams and blows, and that he heard voice cry out, "Ervln, Ervin.'
 Another star witness for the state was a negro blacksmith named Joe Dodgen, who testified that the mule tracks leadfng to Pope's house had a peculiar mark in one of them, showing two protruding horseshoe nails in the foot of the animal. The following day he found a mule owned by Pope Whose foot bore peculiarftnes similar to the tracks which he had found. Pope was convicted and sentenced to be hanged. and the case was appealed. The case was first affirmed, but was later reversed on an application for a rehear- ing. Since that time reversal has fol- lowed conviction, with the result that the ca se is now before the court for the fifth time.
 Pope is now imprisoned in the Birming- ham county jail.
