FOR TWO FUCITiVES

County Judge w. X. Price has re-
ceived information of reward being
offered by the state through Governor
E. p. Morrow for the apprehension OF
one Buford Monday, colored, charged
with having attacked Mrs. Charles
Sewers, of Valley View, some time
ago. The reward is $3.50.
A reward of 500 is also announced
for the apprehension of ElbeTt
Shanks, also colored, for the murder
of John Hammond, l.. G N. track
foreman. .------.-
Both men escaped after the crimes.
and while there have been reports of
their having been one place and an,
other, no tangible clew has been OBJ,
tanned. Hammond was killed by
Shank5 after the former had taken
charge of some work north of the city
of Richmond. While there were a
number of other men employed on the
track and in the immediate vicinity,
little evidence as to the attack has
ever been found. 1t was reported that
Shanks was in the southern part Of
the state and strict watch was kept
for him, without avail. Similar re-
ports were issued regarding the al
legged whereabouts of Monday, but
were traced without success.

MRS. HAGGARD'S
STATEMENT

In connection with the killing of
Ben Good at Winchester by her huB-
gard sent the Louisville papers the
gard sent the Louisville paper the
following statement:
Gentlemen: Under date of Sat
urday, August 28, your papers car
ried in bold headlines a news state
ment from Winchester, Ky, in which
TIE story was given the public that
one Rodney Haggard, a young attor-
ney of Winchester, had shot and
killed Ben Good, young man who
lived here and belonged to a promi-
hent family. That part of your story
was true, and that was the extent
of it.
al nope that in publishing this, as
you did that, you had no thought of
doing others an injury, but you pub
lished in that same article the state
ment that it was because of jealousy
and over Haggards' separation from
his wife.
The insinuation that this unfor-
tunate affair was caused by some i'm
proper action on my part will not be
permitted to stand against me. I am
the wife of Mr.. Haggard and it is not
in his defense that | write, but in
defense of my own character and the
future of my baby. l know that my
friends resent these insinuationG, and
know them to be untrue, but for the
general public, for those who have
read your front page story of the
tragedy, l wish to make my statz-
ment, and demand that you give it
headlines equally as large, space
equally as prominent, and that there
be no delay in its appearance in the
paper.
''The facts are these. Mr.. Ben
Goode was a schoolmate of my. sis
ter. | knew him only through her,
had seen him a number of times, and
had only a friendly speaking ac-
uuainteance with him. So far as l
haved young man. He was employed
in clothing store on Main street, in
Winchester, and l have been in that
store and, of course, seen him there,
but, in all earnestness, do wish to
state here that never in my life have
l been guilty of thought or conduct
that was improper so far as my re-
Iationship with my husband is con-
cerned.
''Mr. Good never did at any time
in his life make the slightest i'm

to this great work my time and
thought, my heart is in it, because
l confidently believe it is time and la
Dor given for Christianity, humanity
and for betterment of the world.
I, therefore, have no hesitancy in
appealing to all of our citizens to
help us. If your former affiliations
deter you from openly acting with us,
come as did Nicodemus, at night, and
we will reason together over this
great issue.
May the League of Nations now at
work continue to live, shall be my
hope, and that we may soon sit with
will be my prayer during all my work
assigned me by you.

Democratic Campaign Chairman for
Madison County.

TOBACCO MOVEMENT
STARTS HERE SOON
Farmers Ask Good Roads Espec-
tally To Lexington, In Order
To Move Product

Farmers are becoming appre-
hensive concerning the moving of
their tobacco, as a result of the
condition of some of the roads Of
the county, it is reported, the
Lexington pike especially, and
they have been informed that this
extensively used thoroughfare is
to receive additional attention at
the hands of the county road en-
gineer and working force in the
near future.
The pike from Richmond to the
|C1ark county line is one of the
chief entrances to the city and
|egresses therefrom and in the
near future the tobacco will begin
to move and it is for the accom-
mediation of the producers that
County Road Engineer Baxter
|contemplates adding an impetus
to the working force and hurry
ing the improvement work. 1t is
said the county stone crsuher will
soon be doing good work in the
vicinity OF FOXtOWn and beyond
in order to render that part of the
more adaptable for haul
ing Some of the rural residents
claim they go to Lexington from
Richmond by way of Valley View
and Boonesboro, instead of taking
the Lexington road, although the
distance is much greater.
There has been a great amount
of road Improvement work ac-
complished during the first half
of the present year, and it is the
intention to continue the work
until cold weather, and this road
is one that will receive special at
tention. 1t is presumed the to-
bacco sales will be started aboW
the first of December, as usual.

proper or ungentlemanly statement
of any kind to me or ever for mo-
ment acted toward me other than as
u gentleman should be expected to.
No act or word of mine could ever

duct was other than it should have

mitted to testify at any trial in which

Though / cannot have my case
tried in the courts, l can be tried by

Athletics To Be Given
Special Attention Soon

That there will be some early
fall sports at Eastern Normal

grounds are being put in good
condition and by the opening Of

finer grounds to be found. The
summer months have passed
without any activity there but the
fall months promise to make up
for it, since athletics are said to

.SMALLW00D and
LAWSON ACQUITT TED

Bradley Smallwood and Melvin
Fred Fields, near Corbin, who, with
Chester Phelps, against whom there
was a similar charge, have been ac-
quilted at Harrodsburg. Phelps was
found guilty on circumstantial evi-
dence, reports have it, and given a
life term in prison. He denied his
guilt, and in a letter to friend in
Richmond stated that he would go to
prison an innocent man.
The trial of Phelps was held first
and resulted in his being found gull
ty, and is said to have rendered the
hearing of the other two young men
different, in that they could not be
found guilty of the same charge. 1t
is claimed that Phelps had revolver
All denied guilt. There was nothing
more than circumstantiaI evidence
against any of them. The men spent
almost six months in the Madison
county Jail, where they were brought
after their arrest for safe keeping.
They are said to have been model
prisoners, and are reported to have
been sons of well-tO-do parents in the
vicinity where they resided. They
were eX-service men. Phelps said he
knew Fields, the murdered man. The
body of the latter was found in a
creek, it is claimed, after he had been
murdered and robbed.

Here the tax commissioner looked
out o fthe window, turned and, point
ing a finger at his interrogation, con-
tinued: 81 know the farmers have
been busy, but they have time now,
little time at least. They are hold

be some waiting, and something be

be completed by the first of the year,

they will be sorry, but it will avail
them nothing. | Rave ordered them
