May QuaSh Indictment

Russelyille, Nov. 23---It is very
likely that the indictment returned
against George w. Hart, charging
him with murder IN the first degree
in connection with the assassination
Of Silas Church will be quashed as
result Of the acquittal of Jess and
John Lamance, brothers. the Hart
indictment was returned few mo.
ments prior TO the jury's verdict in
the Lamance case. Ii Is said that
the evidence IN both cases is about
the same.
Church was assassinated in a feud
IN the mountains III the northern
part of the county. His wife was
shot four times. The Lamance case
required nearly a week. Hart was
also indicted on a charge of assault
to kill Mrs. Church, and this in.
dictment probably will be prosecut,
ed. Evidence against Hart was no,
made public until the Lamsnce
brothers were placed on trial.

Calls for Assistance

In response to requests for assist
ance from White, Poinsett, Saline,
Cross, Desha, Phillips, Garland,
Miller, Lonoke, MississpI, Arkansas
and Jefferson Counties, Gov. Havs
announced that he is powerless to
send militia TO the scenes OF forest
fires now raging IN nearly every
section of the state. Because of the
depleted condition Of the state treas,
ury, together with the fact that q
appropriation was made at the last
session Of the State Legislature for
the National Guard, the governor
was compelled TO deny the requests
for assistance.
Reports received today indicate
that in some sections an almost
