afternoon, but most Of them came
in before noon. They began com
ing early this morning and many OF
them were accompanied by their IA
thers, who are begging to have them
left at home until the crops are
made.
The members of the board are do
ing all they possibly can to keep the
farmers at home. but they are held
personally responsible by the gov
ernment and any man excused must
be one who not only merely lives on
a farm. but one who works all the
time and those who actually have
crops growing.

Kyle and assessed the death penalty
by the jury, has filed a motion for a
new trial. There are twenty assign
ments of error set out and in addi-
ton to the formal reasons, he sets
up the fact that T. K. Kearney, one
of the jurors, separated from the
other jurors when going to a toilet,
and that Dee Elliott, another juror,
talked to witness during the trial.
T. X. Kearney was reprimanded at
the time he came into the jury box
minute or two behind the other
Jurors and said there was no person
in the room where he was. Dee
Elliott, while passing through cor
ridor, called to man and told him
to telephone home about his car.
Hodge also assigns as error the
admission of the alleged confession
of Wilson as related by Sheriff Gar
rett and Policeman Chancellor. He
also assigns as error the examina
ton of Mrs. Kyle by the county at
torney. Another assignment of err
ror is that, in his closing argument
to the jury, the county attorney was
to call the defendant "a
