SLAYER OF FREDDIE LAM
PEREZ CONVICTED.

One or the Important cTlAIlHd
cases which was tried by the Dis
trict Court this week was that OF
the State versus one, Willie De
hon, negro man about twenty
two years Of age who on the
night of February 18th, 1912,
stabbed to death on Madison
Street young Fred Lamperez, a
son of Mr.. Edgar Lamperez. The
crime at the time created consid-
cradle excitement. The negro
Immediately made his escape and
Up to the time Of his arrest it was
feared Sheriff Henderson would
never be able to trace his where
abouts, hayin. apparently no clue
as to the real culprit. The pc
culiar features of the negro, who
had heavy eyebrows, something
that is unusual with the black
race was the only thing that the
Sheriff had to warrant his sus-
picions. 1t was not long how
ever, before Mr.. Henderson
missed from this vicinity boy
that had at different times worked
on his own plantation and this.
together with evasive answers
made by his father as to his
whereabouts, convinced the off,
,er that he was on the right
track. On two occasions he made
trips into the State Of Texas
looking for the accused and in
fact had arrested negro by the
same name, thinking it was the
right one, but in that was disap-
pointed. Getting clue that the
boy was in Allen Parish. Mr..
Henderson visited one of the
large swamping camps and found
the negro's name on the pay rolls
as an employee. Upon his arrest
the accused was told that he was
arrested for killing q negro at Pa
toutville to see what he would
say. The boy very boldly re-
marked 81 never did kill a ne
gro. You want me for the Lam

to know Of the Sheriff what kind
of clothing the two white wit
nesses said the negro wore the
night Of the crime, as he had left !
New Iberia with a large white
hat. The night the murder was
committed he wore q black cap
which Mr.. Henderson knew and
which he left at home before
making his departure. The ac-
cused was ably represented by
Mr.. L. T. Dulany who made an
excellent plea endeavoring to
prove an alibi, but his witnesses

that but little weight
was given them. There is No

The Ballot Box In The State.

Under the above head the Louis
Vile Evening Post. which is support
ing Mr.. Stanley for Governor. gives
vent to its nmost feelings indicating
that Stanley was nominated by bal
lot box stuffing. on bribery, carrying
out the contention of Rev. Palmer
in his speech before the Louisville
Conference at Hartford recently:
Before the grand jury in Clark,
and before the grand jury inf Madf-
son Judge Benton Questioned 'the
election methods prevalent in that
district and called special attention
to the recent Democratic Primary.
There are certain facts bearing up
on this primary that need attention
and in the course of time will have
TO be explained.
For instance, at the Democratic
primary. Saturday, August 7, in
Clark county McDermott received
2l9 votes. Stanley received i.026
votes. McChesney received l,2i6
The Hartford republican. (Hartford, Ky.) 18??-1926, 1915-10-22
votes. or a total of 2.4s1 votes.

votes, or a total Of 2,461 votes.
AT the regular election in 1914
Mr.. Bcckham, the Democratic nomi-
nee for the senate, received but L.
S23 votes. In other words, the vote
at the Democratic primary in 1916
exceeded the total Democratic vote
cast for Beckham by 600.
Either there was a stuffing of the
ballot boxes at the recent Demo-
cratic primary or there was system
attic treachery at the last general
election.
AT the Democratic primary Au-
gust Z, 1915, in the county of Madi-
son, McDermott received 17S votes.
Stanley received 1873 votes, Nc
Chesney received 1000 votes. or to
tai of 2,S62 votes.
AT the regular election in Novem-
Der. 1914, for the Senate. the Demo-
cratic nominee, Mr.. Beckham. re-
ceived but 1,45S votes. or 400 votes
less than were cast at the recent
Democratic primary.
The attention OF the courts was
again called to elections in Scott
county At the recent primary i'm
that county McDermott received IA
votes, Stanley 1852 votes, McChes-
ney 1856 votes, or a total of ease
votes. y year ago at the Senatorial
election the Democrats cast but p
1871 votes
An examination OF the total vote
for the state shows that in eighty
counies out of the 120 the vote at
the Democratic primary OF 1915 eX-
ceeded the vote cast for Mr. Beck
ham last November.

ADVERTISING RELIGION

While the early announcements or

ment intimated that il was to be &C
companied by vigorous campaign OF
advertising in newspapers and mag
azines, not so much has been heard
recently Of this feature on which such
emphasis was laid.
No doubt the plan has not been
abandoned, but its execution is being
delayed until arrangements for a sys-
tematic scheme OF publicity can be
perfected.
Everybody now believes that adver-

why. then, may it not be equally as

greater the merit OF the advertised

Fair Association Organized

AT a meeting last evening of some
OF the leading business men of the
town and vicinity an organization was
effected to be known as the Preston
County Fair association and prelimi-
nary arrangements made to hold a
county fair in Kingwood some time
during the fall.
Although no definite date was decid-
ed upon for holding the big show. It
Will be conducted at time most con-
yenient to the exhibitors throughout
the entire county.
The men behind the movement are
strong enough financially to insure the
success of the undertaking and with
out doubt the fair will be of such a
nature as to warrant it's being made an
annual event There can be no rea-
son why Preston county should not
have a fair of the very best kind in
the state and one that will be of bene-
fit to all the participants and il is
hoped this will so prove.
