REFUSES TO INDICT
SLAYER OF EOkAN
GRAND JURY ALSO IGNORES BILL
CHARGING PISTOL CARRYING
AND EMBLEToN is FREE.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Jan. 20.-R. v.
who killed George Honan,
is free man. The grand jury today
refused to indict him for the homi-
eide and also ignored a bill charg-
ing him with pistol carrying.
Embleton was on a fair road to
freedom Monday, when the coroner's
jury, after hearing the narrative OF
Grace Frazier, exhonorated him.
however, coroner's verdict In this
state carries very little weight either
the one way or the other. Grand jury
action is different matter.
Embleton has been on bond since
the day following the arrest to await
the action Of the grand jury. Honan
was killed at 140 South Third street
on the morning of Jan. IL. He forced
his way into room in which were
Embleton and Grace Frazier. Two
shots from Honan's pistol struck the
woman She Is now at st. Joseph's
hospital, and will probably recover.
Embleton took refuge behind a dress
er from which position he fired ON
Honan, killing him.

tion, being progressive and enter
prising. He kept splendid stock and
his crops were always among the
best of that community. He was a
strong character; intense in his con.
victions, and strong in his likes and
dislikes. He was a most charitable
man and welded a most potent influ-
ence among his neighbors and was
one of the best citizens of his Sec
ton.
A man of deeply religious feeling,
Mr. Horn was almost all of his life a
member of the Cumberland Presbyte.

benefit of her knowledge and train
ing, and will coach them upon their

MAURY COUNTY ROAD

UP TOLL PIKE GATE
RAINEY APPEALS AND GATE ON
PULASKI PIKE Is CLOSED
FOR PRESENT.
CITIZENS PETITION THE BOARD
Coupons viii Be IssOed to Passen-
gers Over Road Until Constitution
aliN Of road Law Of 1918 Is Deeid-
ed in Supreme Court Of the State.

Upon, petition filed by the citi-
zens along the pike, the Maury coun-
ty road commission on Monday after
noon ordered the gate on the Pulaski
pike to be thrown up on account Of
the manifestly bad repair of the road.
Mr.. Rainey, owner of the pike, un-
der the provisions of the new road
law enacted at the first extrasession
'Cf the legislature of 1918, at once
made bond and was allowed to put
down the gate.
At the January term of the coun-
Ity court the road commissioners re-
ported that there were many repairs
that ought to be made upon the road.
n their report Monday afternoon,
they reaffirmed this statement of the
condition of the road and said fur
ther that the whole of it was in bad
shape.
Under the provisions of the law,
Mr. Rainey will still collect toll, but
o each passenger through the gate
will be issued a coupon stating the
mount of the toll, and that this
amount will be refunded in case the
aw is declared unconstitutional.
The constitutionality of the law is
now being attacked in the supreme
court of the state. In the spring of
1914, when the gates on the road were
thrown open, Mr.. Rainey, through his
attorneys, brought suit in the chan
Gerry court, seeking to have the road
aw declared unconstitutional. How,
ever, Judge Bearden upheld its con
stitutionality, and 1t was appealed to
the supreme court, where it is now
awaiting hearing.
! AS stated above, this is the second
ime that this refund clause Of the
law has been brought into operation
The first time it was invoked was q
few weeks ago, when the road com
nissioners held that the Williams
port pike was in bad repair
