SLAYER OF DOCTOR M'bRYDE SENT UP
 FOR THREE YEARS
M. C. Evans, Former Consta- ble, is Convicted at De-
 Witt Hearing
PERRY MARTIN CASE
 AGAIN IS POSTPONED
Alleged Slayer of Two Men on the White River Gains Continuance Because of Absence of
 Witnesses

Dewitt, Ark, Jan. 8.-In the face of a hard fight, conducted by At torney Bob Rogers of Little Rock and Senator John Moncrief, Prose- cutting Attorney E. W. Brockman obtained a conviction late today in the case of M. c. Evans, former De- Witt constable, accused of killing Dr. Robert McBryde, Dewitt veter- mary, last March. The jury, after spending the greater part of We'd nesday and today in hearing testi- mony and listening to closing argu- ments, late today returned a verdict of manslaughter. Evans will receive a three-year sentence. The jury was out less than an hour.
 Evans killed Dr. McBryde last March following an argument that developed between the two when Ev- ans returned horse to Dr. Me- Byrd's stables, which he had rented. He was indicted for second degree murder. The trial created an unusual interest in this section, because of the prominence of both parties, and the trial was bitterly fought.
 Because of the absence of impor- tant witnesses for the defense the case of Perry Martin, charged with the murder of Ed Kerin and Alfred Robinson on the White river here nearly year ago again was con- tinued. This time the case goes over for the term, the trial date having been set for August 8. Martin is charged with first degree murder Several weeks ago he was denied bail by Circuit Judge w. B. Sorrells. The case was taken up to the su- preme court and Judge Sorrells' rul- ing was upheld.
 Judge Sorrells, Prosecutor Brock man and Sam Levine of Pine Bluff who had been retained to assist in prosecuting the Martin case, left to- day for Pine Bluff. Court will re- sume here on Monday.

Labor Champion Attacks Plan for
 Industrial Court

Topeka, Kan, Jan. s.-Before hall, lobby and gallerys packed to standing room, Frank P. Walsh, la bor champion, criticized the pro- posed industrial relations court law in the Kansas house of representa- tives this morning. Walsh was chos- en by the labor conference in ses- sion here, to sound the first guns in the fight to defeat the bill. The two houses were convened in joint session to hear the labor representa- tives.
 "This bill again marks Kansas as a pioneer state," said Walsh, in opening his address. "It again says to the world that no matter how dangerous the way or uncertain the path, Kansas is not afraid to face the future.
 "We oppose every section and ev- cry utterance of this bill," shouted the speaker, except the purpose hoped to be attained through it's passage. Either thi sis a law favor able to every interest and person in Kansas or it is to be a law in con flict and hostility with Kansas ard spells disaster broader than the boundaries of the state itself"

Attack Armistice
 Morning Due to
 American C. Fl. Q.

Responsibility for the loss of American lives thru attacks ordered on Almistice Day, should be charg- ed to American general headquart- e"s and not to the French, house war Investigating committee was told today by Brig. Gen. John II. Sherburne, a national guard officer if Boston, who commanded the arr tillery of the 26th (New York) di- vision and later the artillery brigade of the 92nd (negro) division.
 "So mortified were my men and tEoec of other American commands near us at the needless attacks of the morning of November II and consequent loss of life that they did not enter into the general celebra- tion of the signing of the armis- tice," General Sherburne said. "It vas freely said at the time that some one had blundered and that there must some day be an investi- ga.ion."
 Asked if the corps and division commanders would not have been justified in disregarding the orders, General Sherburne said that while some officers did refuse to send their men to the attack, the majori- ty "so piteously feared the all-pow- erful triumvirate at Chaumont and the entire general staff gang there that they dared not risk court mar tial by evadng in any particular the attack orders"
 The witness said he did not refer to Generals Pershing, Liggett or Bull lard when he spoke of the general staff triumvirate" at Chaumont. The only officer he named was Brig. Gen. Fox Connor, chief of operations.
 No French or British troops, ex- cept few Canadians, attacked on Armistice Day, General Sherburne declared, adding that both the French and British were mortified at the "reckless disregard" for human life shown by the American com manders.
