A BODY BURIED
IN LIVERY BARN
Webster County Widow
Murdered and Four Men
Held for Crime.

Clay, a mining town in Webster
county, has murder mystery that
is exciting unusual interest to the
country The body of Mrs. JOY
Sparks, a widow "a years old, was
exhumed from the floor of an unus-
ed livery barn, and four men are
| under arrest charged with the COM
mission, or guilty knowledge of the
crime. They are Jacob Hicks, As,
and his son, Heber Hicks, 90, of
Cynthiana, and two negroes en-
ployed at the barn where the body
was found. The elder Hicks and the
two negroes were rushed to the Hen
derson jail to escape possible mob
violence.
The reports sent out are, that the
elder Hicks was infatuated win the
pretty widow, and the matter in some
way coming to the attention of his
wife, at Cynthiana, she visited him
during the holidays, and begged him
to give up the widow, which he
agreed to do. Later the younger
Hicks, it is alleged, went to Mrs.
Sparks and represented to her that
is father wanted to divorce his moth
er, but needed some money and ask
ed her to undertake to cash two
checks for $500 each. After these
checks were cashed young Hicks
cashed another check with his faith
er's forged name, which was made
good by the parent. The theory of
the murder is that young Hicks was
using his knowledge of the guilty re-
lations existing between his father
and the woman in extorting
money from his father, and when she
refused to further serve his purpose
ne murdered her to avoid danger Of
xposure of his scheme for money get
ting.
The finding of the body came about
through information of one of the
negroes later arrested, who said the
Hicks hired him to dig the
hole in the ground, alleging that he
wanted to bury whisky in it. The
negro stated that Hicks came into
the barn about four o'clock in the
morning. with the supposed bundle
of whisky in a buggy, the morning
AFTER as it developed later. he and
Mrs. Sparks had gone out in a bug
sy about 1890 in the evening. La
ter the negro confessed that young
Hicks acknowledged killing the wo-
man, and said he did it because her
relations with his father was break
ng his mothers heart.

GLOOMY WAR PICTURE
PAINTED BY RUSSELL
Says Germany VIII Have
Army of More Than
100000.

Knoxville, Tenn, Feb. 11-Charles
Edward Russell, member of the
Root Mission to Russia, speaking at
tn East Tennessee War Conference
here said tonight if the reports of a
separate peace by Russia are true
America faced a crisis. There are
1,5O0O, 900 Austro-German prisoners
in Russia, who are in good fighting
condition" he said. These, together
with 147 divisions of German fight
ers will be thrown against the
allies on the Western front. This
will give Germany an army of more
than four millions.
They will outnumber any posi-
BILE force of soldiers that the Allies
can put on the front. Germany will
subjugate Italy and then sweep over
Southern France and drive the re-
naming portions of the Allies
armies into a small northwestern
corner of France and there defeat
them by detachments.
In such an event we can do only
what the Russians did in the war
with Japan, send our troops abroad
only in sufficient numbers to have
them defeated at the point of dis
emharkation. Thus can America be
defeated without even a shot being
fired on American soil"

written or implied obligations OF a
fubjugated nation are OF no worth.
Russia also was a party to this agree
ment, and Russia Is now, In part at
least. iu alliance with the central
European powers. We should make
no mistake about II. n France were
conquered and England crippled. Ger
many could turn TO us, the richest OF
all powers. The least TO be expected
would be a demand for an indemnity
that would cause the world 10 reflect
on the moderation OF Bismarck when
he exacted 81. 900, 000. 900 from France.
We should not give In without a fight,
but we would need all our strength
TO stand off a German navy that, we
may be sure. has greatly increased in
numbers and power since the war
commenced. And the final battle for
human freedom might be fought with
IN hearing OF the people OF our Allan
tic coast.
We repeat that the calamity is al
most beyond belief. We discuss the
possibility simply 70 bring home TO
our readers the fact that the line OF
intrepid men In France and the sail
ors who patrol the Atlantic lanes or
stand on guard In the North sea night
and day are protecting the actual
physical safety OF this country. They
are guarding our liberty. our lives
and our property. and the well-being
OF future generations OF Americans.
The people OF the United States have
been generous and eager In their sup
port OF the war. But they have a
tendency to regard II as something
remote from their own national vel
fare. No good can come from max
Ing them d~ownhearted. but they
should steel their souls with the
knowledge that the war is not merely
for the abstract principle OF making
the world safe for democracy. but for
the pressing and practical necessity
OF making democracy secure In their
own land. For II Is as certain as

whelms the allied armies. this coun-

IN THE BALANCE.

No Thoughtful American who has the
future Of his country az heart can
read the news from France In these
days without q feeling OF the deepest
apprehension. The f~erocity and pow
or Of the German attack seem undim-
iDished after nearly four years OF ter
rible warfare. The tenacious
s9e OF the allied troops and our own
sprinkiing OF American soldiers Is be-
yond all praise. We can only hope
and pray that their endurance viii
withstand the present and future on
slaughta until tho time comes when
they can turn and strike back.
Golfers has expressed the belief
that the ring around Germany will not
part even II the allies are divided. the
french driven beyond Paris. and the
British forced back on the channel
ports. but Il would bo folly TO pre-
tend hat such an event would not be
a disaster OF appalling magnitude. We
DO not believe Il is probable that the
Germans can accomplish ven this
much. or later. But II they
should. the people Of this country must
face the future possibilities without
blinking. They must ask themselves
what would happen. not merely II the
armies OF the allies should be beaten.
but II they should be destroyed or cap
tured, II France should be subiugated
and the British forced to retire to their
island and depend upon their navy for
It's safety.
What would be the position OF the
United Statesq The calamity Is al
most unthinkable. The moral and
material forces behind the allies are
too great. In all human probability. to
be- destroyed. But In such a crisis as
the present one W. must be ready Ia
face any emergency. The allies are
bound together by an agreement not
TO consent to a separate peace. and
we are under moral obligation to
J stand by them TO the end. But the

rest has been working for at least that
long. The cause is more likely TO be
found in the vicious and unjustifabie
denunciations turned loose by small
bore statesmen. Issues are too often
not fought out on their merits. Abuse
and denunciation have too often re-
placed argument Suspicious have
been s~tudiously developed. Glass has
