SAPP BROTHERS ARE GIVEN
LONG PRISON TERMS BY JURY
e (. Sapp Is Given Forty Years in
Penitentiary While Younger Broth
er May Serve Twenty Years.

Lufkin, Textile jury in the case
OF the State Of Texas vs. h. e. sapp
and Lou Sapp, charged with the muir.
der of Richard Watts In the Big
Thicket of Hardin county in January,
1915, returned verdict of guilty Wed
nesday, assessing the punishment of
the former at forty years in the peni
Tertiary, while the latter was given a
sentence Of twenty years.
The verdict in the Sapp case brings
to close, for the time being at least
a case whose ramifications extend
through nine counties in Southeast
Texas and general interest in which
has been greater than in any murder
trial in years, So many different peo-
pie were concerned in the case in one
way or another that an entire section
was involved
The charge upon which EN- and Lou
Sapp were convicted is the killing Of
Dick Watts, only one of three for
which the Older Sapp is under indict-
ment, the others being the death of
Frank Hazard late in January, 1915,
and the alleged conspiracy to kill Mrs.
Ellen Partain Sapp, the defendants
wife, in November, 1914. Lou Sapp Is
charged jointly with the death Of Ha-
ward, but there is no indictment
against him in the conspiracy case.
E. E. Sapp was married to Mrs.
Ellen Partain of Bay City early in
1914, Mrs. Partain being a widow pos
sessed of considerable property and
81 years of age. Sapp is SO years old
now. On the last day Of hunt near
Romayor in November, 1914, Mrs.
Sapp was killed by the discharge Of a
gun in the hands of Dick Watts. At
the coroner's inquest the only eyewit-
nesses Of the shooting, Dick Watts,
Frank Hazard, Mrs. Taylor and a
Brazos bottom fisherman, Sowell, de.
clared that the shooting was acct
dental.
Dick Watts disappeared in January,
1915. Early In February of the same
year a body uprooted by hogs in the
Big Thicket, was identified by means
Of dental work as that Of Watts.
Search was instituted for Hazard be-
cause Of his frequent association with
Watts, the search finally resulting In
the discovery two weeks later of Ha-
wards body, buried in the Big Thicket
In Hardin County, within few yards
Of the spot at which Watts corpse had
been unearthed.
Rumors of statements which Watts
had made prior to his disappearance
led to the arrest of E. E. sapp and Lou
Sapp, charged with the Joint killing
Of Watts and Hazard. At almost the
same time the grand jury in Liberty
County returned an indictment charg
Ing Sapp with conspiracy with Dick
Watts and Frank Hazard to kill Mrs
Sapp.
The states case was purely circum
stantial, fits strongest links being the
testimony Of witnesses who declared
that Watts had told them En- SapI
had hired him to kill Mrs. Sapp, thus
establishing a motive.
The defense denied the charge in
the indictment absolutely and sought
to establish an alibi.
