JACKSON'S ALABAMA ROUTE.

The Alabama route has no claim
whatever except that the people OF that
section want it. Jackson never travel
ed over that section of the country or
was ever connected with it in any way.
|-Natchez News-Democrat.
To the above the Mobile Register re-
plies: "We do otknow how the News
Democrat happens to be SO ill informed
upon subject it elects to write about.
The facts, as shown in Parton, in Pick
ett, IN Brewer, and in all the works that
tell of General Jackson's going to New
Orleans to repel the British describe
with full particulars his progress
through Alabama. He land his troops
came by way of Montgomery to Mobile
and thence, Nov. %, 1914, departed for
New Orleans, arriving in that city Dec
ember 1. He was there joined bo his
troops under General Coffee who also
marched from Mobile; and by other
troops from Tennessee and Kentucky,
who came down by river. These are
the facts. The Alabama route is the
only route Jackson traversed in march
ing to repel the British at New Orleans.

witnesses having been examined. He
congratulated the jury on their intelli-
gent appearance and aaid he felt certain
they were going to do what was right.
But the stress of his complimentary
remarks was given to the New Orleans
police witnesses and Chief Reynolds,
who has been constant attendant at
the trial. He said there We're no pro-
visions to pay for the getting of these
witnesses here, and it was voluntarily
on their part they had been here and
rendered splendid services.
He said these witnesses and the L. &
N. witnesses were above suspicion.
This was in retort to the insinuation by
counsel for the defendant wherein it
was implied that these witnesses had
given "framed-up testimony" Attor-
ney Ford said there was sufficient eyi
dence "to sink a man to the depths of
guilt"
EVIDENCE CIRCUMSTANTIAL
District Attorney Ebb ]. Ford told
the jury that Lester was charged by the
state with the murder of Marcy, that
no other charge had been made, that
the commission of crime might be
proved by circumstantial evidence, and
following this declaration he reviewed
the testimony of both the defense and
defendant, dwelling on the character of
witnesses for the defense as unfavor
ably contrasted with that of the state;
that the witnesses for the state would
haye no interest in seeing human life
taken by the state and that their testi-
mony was unimpeachable while that
of the defense was small in number and
by people unknown.
Following this he showed the jury the
blue oyeralls, the hood, the 45-caliber
Colts automatic revolver found near
Lester when arrested, agd the belt and
holster found on Lester when arrested,
into which holster fitted the revolver,
also the bullet taken from Marcey's
body, found on the floor of the coach
after having gone through the victims
body, and which fitted the revolver, in
substantiation of his theory and as
advanced by the witnesses.
His closing argument consumed one
hour and forty-five minutes. Judge
Neville adjourned court, to reconvene
the morning following, when the Jury
returned the verdict guilty, as told
elsewhere in the columns OF the Echo.

who is in charge of the school, feels
gratified at the splendid showing that

the school grounds, put in some new
window panes, scrubbed the school
rooms and decorated the walls with some
very appropriate motto cards."
Mr.. Smith and Miss Sylvester are
doing everything possible to gain the
hearty cooperation OF both parents and
pupils, and they deserve much praise
for the work already carried out.
