CLAIMS FORTY-NiNE
 CHILDREN ARE HIS
Waiter Pierce, Negro, Given Two Years for Murder Committed Six Years Ago.

Walter Pierce, negro, charged wi,h killing Walter Shavers, negro, neal Tamo, in 1913, was sentenced to two years in the pcnitentiarv last night in Circuit court,
 The case was in court most of the day yesterday, the jury retiring about 5:30. After about two hours, the de clslon was reached.
 A brief history of the case shows ian unusual astuteness on the part of the county officials, who succeeded il experiencing Pierce, and bringing him to trial after six years had elapsed.
 In May, 1913, Walter Pierce, then a boy about l3 years of age stabbed and killed Walter Shavers, following ia quarrel over a girl. The Pierce boy fled, and he was not located until last fall, when R. II. Williams, who was then sheriff, located Pierce at Nun sey, Ind. The county officials at that place refused to give the negro ur because they stated he would not re- cejVe a just trial in the South. Mr. Williams bided his time, and when the negro was inducted into the service he arrested him and had him brought back here for trial
 MT. Williams located Pierce through some telegrams and letters which Pierce, under the name of John Hutchinson, had sent to his fath- CT, Stephen Pierce, asking for money The elder Pierce sent him some money It was found that Walter Pierce oc. cupied rooms at the same address to which the money sent to John Hutchinson was received.
 Question Of Identity.
 A feature of the trial yesterday was the Identification of the accused. The mother of Walter Pierce testified that she was not sure whether the accused was her son or not. She stat ed that he had mashed his foot in press shortly before he went away from home, and that his toes were badly crushed. An examination of the feet of accused failed to show any mashed toes. Stephen Pierce, father of Walter Pierce, stated that he could not say whether the accused was his son o1 not. Eight or nine other witnesses stated that he was Walter Pierce.
 Refused to Plead.
 The attorneys who handled the case o7 Pierce saw there was |; strong case against him, and advised him to plead guilty, since at the time of the killing, he was only l5 years old, and urged him to consent to two years in the pen. The court consent ed, but when brought before the court, Pierce refused to plead guilty and broke down and cried. He stated that he was born in Jamac1a, and could not read English though he could speak and read Spanish. He talked with a decided accent.
 Pierce is a light mulatto in color while his father, Stephen is about the color of an Indian. His mother is coal black
 An amusing incident of the trial was when Stephen Pierce was asked how many children he had.
 "Wcll suh," he said, 'Ise got thu teen by the woman 1 married, but I'se de father of forty-nine in all."
