BARN BURNING
Laid TO CHICKS
EATING COTTON

Aaron Booth, colored, a former ten
ant on the farm of Jesse Faust in the
nth district, went to trial in SUPERIOR
court today for arson, it being charg-
ed that he set fire to barn or Mr..
Faust's farm in revenge. Mr.. Faust
was in court to prosecute the case. and
Wallis & Fort were employed by him
TO assist Solicitor FELTON,. Hixon &,
Pace represented the negro.
Mr.. Faust was the first witness, and
his story brought out the states en-
tire case, and incidentally a scandal
in two colored families. It developed
that Aaron and Henry Burton, another
negro, lived side by side. Burton's
chickens ate Mr.. Faust's young cotton
and the latter after repeated efforts to
keep them out of his field, killed a
dozen of them with salty dough balls.
Rurton told Mr. Faust he would have
kept the chickens out, only he had been
told by Booth not to do it. Mr.. Faust
told him he had better not be listen
ing to Booths advice, but to watch his
wife and Booth. Burton apparently
told Booth, for the latter, according to
Mr. Faust, soon thereafter shook his
fist in his face and told him to keen
out of his business. Afterwards Booth
ieft Mr.. Faust's place. Some months
later his barn was burned.
The second witness was Burton's
wife. Risco, who admitted that she and
Tooth had made trip to Chicago after
the trouble, that during their so.
jCurn there Booth told her he would
get even with Mr.. Faust if it took him
the rest of his life; that later she met
lin in Smithville and he told her he
had burned Mr. Faust's barn, asking
her not to tell, as she could either
hurt him or save him; and that if she
would not tell he would carry her way
again" or "let her carry him away"
The defense put up Chas, Israel, for
whom Booth has been working since
he left Mr. Faust's place, to show that
Booth was at home at the hour of the
same day Risco testified to having met
him in Smithville. Mr. Israel pro-
duced his account book, he having ra
toned his negroes that day, to show
that he was positive of the date.
The case was still unfinished 1T the
hour this was written.
Jim Gyles, colored, charged with
having liquor in his possession, was
found guilty yesterday afternoon and
sentenced by Judge Littlejohn to serve

bring down the cost of living. At a re-

we can bring relief
Here are his five "points' in tbs

don was negligent in keeping in good
condition a guard rail at bridge in the
precincts of the town, man being killed
and IN automobile being practically
ruined by reason of going off the road
and through the guard rail. There may

of the great spirit of charity that pre-
