MIJSTACHE MAY
MEAN 70 YEARS
Man Sentenced to 20 Years
in Prison for Killing Wife
May be Freed by Dispute
Over Hirsute Growth

A Charlie Chaplin mustache will
be the dominant factor in the at
tempt to get Irving Morgan out of
the Missouri state penitentiary,
where he now is serving a twenty
year term for Staying his wife by
throwing her from g. Pullman car
window near Macon, Mo, the night
of June 10, last.
Morgan has just been sentenced
TO the penitentiary for twenty years
in accordance with the verdict of the
Jury at ShelbyVille. The lawyers for
the defendant Immediately gave no
tice of appeal and prepared their
motions for a new trial. The bail
was fixed at $4,000 and Morgan at
once got in touch with his bonds
man, but three hours before the
bond reached Shelbyville the sheriff
was on the way to the penitent1ary
with the defendant.
The first matter to be presented to
the supreme court is that of the
bond which defendant claims to
have been made within reasonable
time.
Disagree About Mustache
cure a reversal is concerned with the
testimony about Morgan's mus
tache Some reliable men who were
on the train, and who testified to
seeing Morgan AFTER the tram pass
ed She1bina, swore he wore a small
muStache the night of the homicide.
One said it was an adOrnment
something like that of Charley
Chaplin or the former German crown
prince"
The negro porter on the car de-
c1arcd positively that Morgan was
Smooth-shaven when he and his
wife got on the train. From this
testimony, the defense says, the jury
was led to believe that Morgan had
premeditated the killing of his wife
and had tried to disguise himself
after the act.
Morgan's lawyers claim that he
wore a small natural mustache the
day in question, and that if another
hearing were granted they could
show the porter's testimony was
false.
Is Anxious About Bail
Morgan is anxious to get out on
bail so he can go to work as an ac-
countant, He thinks he can get a
job in Chicago.
Some who heard the trial think
Morgan got off light in view of his
confession. His plea was emotion
al insanity" that he did not know
what he was doing when he pushed
his wife from the car window of the
speeding train, but it was in evidence
that all his subsequent acts were
carefully directed toward concealing
the crime.
The defendant tried to account for
his brainStorm by saying his wife
was in love with another man. and
that she tainted him over that fact

promised to do all possible to ex-

to speed the department up, but little
success has thus far attended any eff
fort in that direction. All the toma-
toes purchased during the war have

do it in Roanoke, but it is Tazewells

DOUBLE KILLING
WHITAKER RIDGE
1s-Year Old Boy, Henderson
Whitaker, Responsible for the
Death of VIM. Whit and
Ellen Nelson.

News of shooting of a man and
woman, fatally, on Whitakers Ridge,
reached town on Wednesday morn
ing. by young man named Whit
aker. Details are meager. Common
wealth's Attorney Hartman was no
titled of the killing, and that Whit
aker was under arrest and would have
hearing at Cedar Bluff on Thurs
day, yesterday. Commemorative At
torney conducted the trial before
the Magistrate.
The particulars and the result OF
the trial have not reached us at time
of going to press.
1t appears that Whitaker shot and
killed woman named Nelson and
Bill Whit, man. What the trouble
was about was not stated in tn.
phone message. Whitaker Ridge is OH
the north side of the county,, near
the West Va. line, and is known as
the seat of number of moonshine
still houses, which have given the Of
ficers much trouble, and been the
scene of number of tragedies. The
supposition seems reasonable that
moonshine liquor was at the bottom
of the trouble.
