Capt. George c. Paine opened the ar
gument for the state and Judge Clayton

but Judge Clayton announced at the
close of Capt. Paine's address that he
did not care to argue the case, which,
under the law was procedure OF Missis-
sippi, stopped the argument and sent
the case to the jury without further
ceremony.
Speculation was rife as to what the
outcome would be. but the attorneys for
the prosecution who have been working
On the case all week, felt confident the
defendant would be convicted. He was
charged with the murder of Burley
Miller, the 8-months-old infant baby
that was slain with the rest of the
Miller family on Jan. 15.
The evidence against him was purely
circumstantial, but 1t was so coupled
and connected by his own statements,
threats and conduct that the jury could
hardly escape the logical conclusion that
he was implicated in the killing,
planned it, and assisted in it's dastardly
commission.
Thus in the short space of four and
one-half days, two men have been
tried and convicted in the circuit court
of Lee county for the most heinous
crime that ever shocked the moral sen
