Starkey Preliminary

The preliminary hearing of
Elijah Starkey was had in the
District Court room Tuesday
afternoon for the killing of
Of Thomas Hinnard near Raben-
ton on July u. The hearing was
conducted by Dist. Attorney, II.
b. Hamilton assisted by attorney
w. c. Whatley, with Justice Of
the Peace Ira o. Wetmore in
the chair. Attorneys Barber and
Bonham appeared for the de
Tense.
The state produced several
witnesses but the defense pro-
duced none. One of the witness
es, a Mr.. Guthrie, entered his
testimony in a most dramatic
manner; when asked by the at
torneys to tell of the shooting
as he saw It, he did so in a way
that left no doubts in the minds
Of his hearers as to the certainty
Of everything he said. He des.
cribed the shooting and the posi-.
tions of the different men en-
gagged in the battle in a manner
that would make the ordinary
wild west moving picture artist
hide his head in shame. His
gestures in different shooting
positions and the description OF
Hinnard as to how he fell when
shot, were vivid.
According TO the evidence pro
duced, the killing had grown out
of a sudden quarrel instead Of a
premeditated g. gn of either
Of the participant therefore, it
did not appear that a charge Of
murder in the first degree could
be established and Justice Wet
more admitted Starkey to bail to
the amount of $5, 600. 90 the same
being furnished by Messrs. Harry
GALLAGHER, John Townsend, J..
Crenshaw and Jack Cleghorn.
After being admitted to bail,
Mrs. Starkey, who was present at
the trial joined her husband after
which they were motored up to
White Oaks with Mr.. and Mrs.
Harry GALLAGHER and from thence
to their home near Rabenton,
where he will remain until the
next session of the Grand Jury
when the evidence given in the
above hearing will receive the
consideration of that body. The
other brother is still confined in
a local hospital, his condition be-
ing serious.
