CASEY JONES WILL
HANG FOR MURDER
Man Who Shot Hattiesburg Wo.
man to Pay Death Penalty
for Crime July Is.

Following the death of Mrs. Nose
ly on June 10, her slayer was in
dicted, plea for change of venue
denied, and the case tried with ex-
pedition as admirable as it is rare.
From the Hattiesburg record of the
case, we take this:
Casey e. Jones was found guilty
of the murder of Mrs. J. S. Mosely
today by jury in the Circuit Court
shortly after T. Weber Wilson, dis
trict attorney, had made an appeal to
the twelve men to mete out justice
in accordance with the testimony.
Jones was sentenced to be hanged
July IS.
C. B. Adams argument just after
court reopened this afternoon that
his client was not responsible for his
actions proved unavailing. In spite
of the strong appeal he made for an
acquittal, the jury returned with a
verdict of guilty as charged" which
carries the death penalty.
Mrs. Mosely, the wife of Hatties-
burg letter carrier, was shot in her
home on the morning of May 26, dy-
ing several days later in local hos
pital.
Jones was wounded during the at
tack by Mrs. Mosely's husband and
was saved from mob at the hos
pital, where he was being treated, by
a minister, superintendent of the in
stitution.

Mrs. Browns Pupils in Recital.

The recital given at the Hampton
Auditorium Tuesday evening by the
Bude and Brookhaven pupils of Mrs.
o. B. Brown of Bude was one of
the most satisfying musical events of
the year in the opinion of music low
ers attending.
So excellent was the program and
so evident the care and thorough
preparation given their musical stu
dies by the young performers that
critics found it difficult to discrimi-
nate, and had recourse to the ex-
preston, well; of course some were
more talented than Others"
The stage had been tastefully de-
corated for the occasion by Mrs. w.
H. Becker, and made lovely set
ting for the attractive young per-
forpezs.
The Brookhaven pupils who played
were:- Annie Lee Hughes, Hazel
Hendrick, Frances Hughes, Jane
Hurst, Marie Watts, Aileen Ratcliff
and Mamie Penn. From Bude were
Lexine Everett, Marjorie Newman,
Irene Storey, Julia Day Stewart, Nj
ma Matthews, Edward Stewart, Aaron
Myrtis Dodds, Bertha Lee Mullins,
Katie Ruth Wilmington, Homer
Wilmington, Georgia Covington and
Elizabeth Brown.
Liszt's Rhapsodie Hongroise No.
II by Elizabeth Brown, McDowell's
Concert Etude by Homer Whiting
ton, Schubert-Heller's 1.-The Trout"
by Georgia Covington, and Balki-
rew's The Lark" by Mamie Penn
were especially fine numbers by the
more advanced of the students, all
of whom have been heard in our city
before, and whose development since
their appearance here last summer
was notable.
Hazel Hendrick, Jane Hurst, Fran
ces Hughes, Irene Storey and Julia
Day Stewart were among the most
excellent of the younger pupils in
the opinion of some of those attend
ing.
Vocal numbers by Mrs. Hugh v.
Wall and Messrs Hurst and Hollands
added to the pleasure of the pro-
gram.
Our section of Mississippi may we'll
be proud of such musical attainment
as was evident in Tuesday evenings
entertainment and Mrs. Brown is to
be congratulated upon the success a.
chieved.

TAKE EXCURSION TO
VEGETABLE SECTION
The Reception Given and Infor-
nation Gained in Copiah
Cities.

Messrs. G. B. Perkins, Chas. Hig-
don. w. H. Seavey. Harry Mills, w.
M. Turnbough, L. Cohn. e. j. Hurst,
S. B. McNair, Geo. Gulley and /. Alb
rams, members of the Kiwanis Club,
Robert Bowen, reporter, and twenty
four farmers of this vicinity motor
ed to Hazlehurst and Crystal Springs
Thursday, the tour being under the
direction of the president of the XII
wants Club, Mr.. c. B. Perkins.
The first stop was at Hazlehurst,
where merchants and farmers of that
town met the party and gave inter-
esting and helpful information.
The Hazlehurst growers advised
the visitors to embark in trucking
upon small scale and in conjunc-
tion with other farm crops and in
6ustries. They advised the use of
two tons of fertilizer to the acre
which increases production one hun
dfed per cent.
The party then went to Browns
Wells for dinner. Rev. N. F. Jacks
asked blessing, and speeches were
made by Mr.. w. H. Seavey on "Di-
versifcation," by Mr.. ]. w. Herrett,
Chicago, ON Community Spirit" and
by Mr.. Jacks on Cooperation"
At Crystal Springs, another cor
dial reception was the experience Of
the Lincoln delegation and encourag-
ing expressions were heard from the
merchants and growers there.
A Kiwanian states that it was
learned that the truck growers there
were not making a point of bring
ing the product up to quality which
might bear a standard brand, as is
done by many associations of grow
ers in other states, and that Mr.. A.
Lotterhos, of the Crystal Springs frm
said that while he had originated
this idea years ago, it was not used
there. He believed sales could be
made to greater advantage in this
way.
After thorough survey of the
truck industry at Crystal Springs,
the party returned to Hazlehurst,
where the only sorrowful event OF
the day transpired = the defeat of
the Brookhaven baseball team by
Hazlehurst.
1t is the opinion of many in the
party that soil in Lincoln is better
than that they saw on the trip, and
with the acquisition of skill in the
new industry, there should be solid
benefit to the Lincoln farmers and
community generally.
Those who talked to the visitors
were unanimous in their opinion
that marketing must be done thru
an association, and that the associa-
tion is helpful in many other ways.
Courtesies received at all stopping
places were greatly appreciated by
the Kiwanians and their guests.

ONE DEAD, SEVERAL
HURT IN COLLISION
Car Of Dynamite Explodes, Tear
ing Hole in Track in Head
On Smash Up.

New Albany, Miss, June 14.-One
life was lost, several others were in
jured slightly, IA cars of perishable
freight destroyed and hole 20 feet
square torn under the track at $50
o'clock this afternoon when two fast
Frisco trains collided head-on four
miles south of here, exploding car
of dynamite.
Assistant Supt. T. w. Cabeen of
Amery, who rushed to New Albany,
was unable to announce the cause of
the wreck.
The trains, both fast freights, Nos.
1876. southbound, and 1876, north
bound, crashed into each other at
Wallerville. The only life believed
to have been lost was that of Frank
Mais, negro fireman, who is missing
Both engineers and the fireman of
one of the trains saved their lives
by jumping a few seconds before the
trains collided. They suffered slight
injuries.
Both engines were damaged badly
by the collision, but the chief dam
age resulted from fire which follow
ed the dynamite explosion. Before
extra engines could be run out to
withdraw the rear cars of each train
from the wreckage, fire had spread
and IA cars and their contents were
almost totally destroyed.
Railroad telegraph wires for a con-
siderable distance along the track
were destroyed cutting off communi-
cation with railroad officials.
Traffic was entirely cut off for
few hours, after which trains were
detoured via Holly Springs and Tu-
pelo, Miss.
Mr.. Cabeen, who personally direct
ed the wrecking crew at the scene
and superintended the check-up
to ascertain the number of missing
employees, said last night it would re-
quire several days to repair the
damage done to the track.
First reports had it that both the
engineers, Jack Strader, and Mack
Snipes, had been killed.

one run of the game being the re-
suit of an error. Brookhaven also
passed up several opportunities to
score through carelessness on the
bases. Only 5 hits were made off
Mitchell and no two of these came in
the same inning. He also struck out
4.
Edwards was nicked for hits and
was on numerous occasions saved by
support. Edwards struck out 6.
Jack Ryan, of the st. Louis club,
scouting for pitchers, was here by a
previously made date, to observe the
work of the opposing twirlers and
was one of the umpires being assisted
by Welch, of D'Lo.
Darlington for Hazlehurst, and
Cohen for Brookhaven were at the
receiving end during the struggle.
All the spectators-even the sup
porters Of the losing team-were
satisfied with the fine exhibition of
the national sport as it was played
other than the Brookhaven consti-
tuents wished for a reversal of the
score.

WHAT HAZLEHURST DID WAS
A'PLENTY,


What Hazlehurst did to the locals
in the baseball game played at Ha-
zlehurst Thursday was "indescriba-
ble." 1t was "murder"-it was ''fire"
it was everything else that could
add to the agony of rubbing it in"
and showing one aggregation of
ballplayers and the fans accompany
ing them that they were not what
they we're supposed to be. Finally,
in the eighth inning, home run by
Banville, brought in a man on base
and, in addition to making it only
fourteen runs, Hazlehurst came with
in just scratch of making two more
homers before the circuit swat was
hit. They were easy triples, and but
for the latitude of the score at the
time they were made, the runners
would hardly have tried to stretch
them, but each player was undoubt-
edly willing to take a chance and
win the silk shirt offered by a Ha-
zlehurst firm for the first home run
on that diamond.
The game was anything but a
pitchers battle from the Brookhaven
side. Hartzog, for Brookhaven, did
not want to go into the box to start
with, while Wilmington, who was
put in in the third inning, was also
very reluctant, and proved to be off
form due to his pitching here two
days prior when he won his game
against the same players. But the
loss of the game should not be at
tributed wholly to the pitchers, be-
cause numerous errors by the play
ers backing Brookhaven added ma
terially to the big score when the
game was finally finished. That the
game was an unmerciful drubbing
for Brookhaven is shown by the
score. A steady onslaught of tallies
being made in every half inning for
Hazlehurst with one exception, that
being the first half of the third when
Wilmington was put in, the game at
that time being practically lost with
a score of 6 to 0. The two runs
made in the nrst inning should not
have been made and we're not the
fault of Hartzog. An error by Wood
ward on short allowed a man to be
safe on first after two were out. Gull
ley for Hazlehurst went to bat and
followed by an error by Harrison at
third, two men were in before the
last man could be retired. The sec
ond inning started off with three
bagger and none out. Singles and
near out" plays continued without
intermission until four had crossed
the plate for Hazlehurst, the side be-
ing retired by double play. The
sixth inning was also an excruciat-
ing one for Brookhaven. Three men
were on bases and they all Tailed. 1t
is hardly probable that Hazlehurst
will again have an opportunity to
give us such drubbing as that re-
ceived Thursday.

hold and increase this attendance
and that is for the management of
the baseball association to so match
the Brookhaven team-and also keep
up its morale with good ball players
so that each and every game will
be an interesting contest. No one
interested in baseball wants to go
any distance to see a one-sided con-
test, and our city will contiue to be
jammed with guests as it was yes
terday as long as similar baseball ex-
hibitions are staged.
