The Covington leader. (Covington, Tenn.) 18??-current, 1921-03-03

two days after shaw and Kelley es-
capped from the house Of correction
at Detroit.
After the shooting down Of the
Shelby jailer the wild flight Of the
fugitNes, their capture and return
to Memphis, they admitted that they
had planned to rob the wholesale
drug store Of Van Vleet- Mansfield
Company.
IN addition 10 the Frankinmuth.
Mich, bank affair, Shaw is wanted
at Mansfield, Ohio for violation Of
his parole from the state reform in
stitution He was known there as
Albert Smith.
SO far as known here, Kelley's
career Of crime began with the bank
robbery at Frankinmuth. Mich. He
is regarded as the brains Of the
gang, while Hamilton possessed the
nerve. Kelley, according to his own
statement to Memphis police Off
Gals, had prepared a splendid alibi
in event he was arrested for the
Frankinmuth robbery. The town IS
just IL miles from Saginaw. Fol
more than a week Kelley said he
travelled over the intervening road
to familiarize himself with it. On
the day Of the robbery he drove the
car, which bore Canadian numbers
over the Michigan license tags in
order TO make it appear that the
gang came from across the border.
After the holdup IN broad daylight
the gang made dash back to Sag
NAV. After following the regular
route for a distance of several miles
Kelley said he took another road. be-
lie1ing that Saginaw authorities
would have been notified and be on
the wav to Frankinmuth before the
gang had traversed half the dis
tance. He reasoned well, for the
bandits evaded the Saginaw officers
by this ruse.
It took Just Is minutes to cover
the IN miles, said Kelley, and 20
minutes after the robbery the ban
dts divided the swag III a Saginaw
hotel. In order to prepare an abb,
Kelley went Immediately into a
harberdasher's establishment in the
hotel block and made some pur-
chases. TO impress his pres
enee and the time on the minds of
those in the store he borrowed some
money from one Of the men he
knew intimately and then compared
his time with that Of the clerk. He
said he felt sure that his being IN
he store such short time after the
robbery would prove an alibi suf-
ficient to clear him if suspected
In statements made BY Shaw he
practically verified in every particu-
lar Kelley's story In regard to the
details Of the bank robbery.

grees Of murder and manslaughtsF,
voluntary and involuntary. The
case was then given to the Jury.
E. B. Kelley win withdraw his mo-
ton Ter q new trial, to have been
argued before Judge R. B. Baptist
here next Saturday, and counsel for
Shaw viii advise his client to do
likewise.
This announcement was made BY
Abe C0hn on behalf Of Kelley and
A. B. Galloway, counsel for Shaw,
in Memphis Monday afternoon. The
two Memphis attorneys, who ably
defended the men held responsible
for the death of Jailer George
Reeves, feel that it were better for
their clients to let the case close
with the verdict rendered by the
jury at Covington Saturday.
Mr.. Cohn was in communication
with his client Monday. Mr.. Gallo
way said there was little doubt that
he would withdraw the motion for
new trial on behalf Of Shaw, but
would come to Covington and talk
with his client before making a posi-
tive statement to that effect.
There Is every indication that the
two convicted men, fearing the death
chair, are satisfied with a verdict
giving them prison terms Of %
years each. Even had they been
freed of the charge Of conspiring to
take the life of Jailer Reeves they
would have been brought to trial
on four charges Of highway robbery
"a Memphis. In addition to this,
they are wanted in Saginaw, Mich,
for robbery Of the bank at Franklin
muth, in the same county. They
have confessed to taking part in this
lob, and one Of their pals is now
serving life sentence for the
crime, having implicated both Shaw
and Kelley.
The indictments against the BAN
dts returned by the Shelby county
grand jury charge that on the night
Of October n, 1920, about $3.50
o'clock, Shaw, Kelley, Clyde Hamil-
ton and cred" Hatton held ND and
robbed G. O. Manning and M.
Mohr in the formers drug store at
Thomas street and Chelsea avenue.
A third indictment charges that
the four about 80 minutes later on
the same night, held up at the point
Of pistols and robbed Z. A Huntoh,
travelling salesman for the Inger-
soil Watch Company, securing $50 in
money and several watches. Red
Hatton, a Memphis boy, has been
convicted for his part in the crime.
According to the charges in the.
fourth indictment, the gang entered
the drug store Of R. S. Hambleton,
on Madison avenue, near the baseball
park, on the night Of October 30,
and secured $50 and some stamps.
In this holdup Hamilton struck the
druggist on the head with a revolt
yer with such force as to bend the
trigger guard Of the weapon. The
weapon was carried bv Hamilton on
the night the gang was arrested in
a house on Union avenue. Hamilton
answered the doorbell and carried the
pistol under the bathrobe he wore.
The bandits used the same car
during the Memphis robberies they
rode in when when they robbed the
bank near Saginaw. 1t was a Stude-
baker claimed by Hamilton, but
which was stolen from the Cove
Lumber Company at Lansing, Mich.

which he weald not deny Ga the wit
ness stand Why did Ne engage IN
four holdupa IL the city e Memphis,
for which he Is now under indict-
ment and which charge be refused
to deny when he was testifyingF
Talk Of Kelley and Shaw being
afraid Of Hamilton was ridiculous,
said the prosecutor. They were not
afraid Of him at Detroit; they were
not afraid Of him at Flint; they
were not afraid Of him at Saginaw;
they We're not afraid of him when
they met him by agreement in Mem
phis. Why, he asked, If Kelley,
who the defense would have the jury
believe was unsophisticated boy. but
who in realty was murderer at
heart-why didn't the conscious
stricken Boy Scout desert for all
time the desperate and dangerous
Hamilton when SO many opportuni-
iee were Oresented7
The three bandits, the speaker de-
clafed plotted ali Of tie night pre-
ceding the murder Of George Reeves,
the man who had befriended them,
and went into the Jail lobby on the
morning Of November 80 with their
hats and coats on and pistols con-
cealed on their persons, determined
to shoot down the iailer if necessary
and the courage eff Mr.. Reeves
made 1t necessary before they could
regain their liberty
Gen. Bates declared that he be-
lieved the switch in attorneys from
Ralph Davis to Abe Waldaur was
q well conceived plan, because they
knew that Davis was more expert
enced and they could never inveigle
him to meet the three alone in the
consultation room
In closing, Gen. Bates asked that
if sympathy was to weigh in the de-
liberations Of the jury that they do
not pull down the curtain on the
weeping widow Of the victim Of the
conspiracy and the five fatherIess
children, made SO by the treachery
Of the men whom the iaiIer had be-
friended
In defense Of Kelley my. Cohn
did not go into the record very
deeply. He began his address by
stating that he asked only Justice,
not sympathy, but appealed almost
entirely to sentiment and it was
ali eloquent appeal.
Mr.. Galloway, representing Shaw,
declared that he was only fulfilling
duty imposed on him by the first
criminal court Of Shelby county, but
that after making an investigation,
he found that the demand Of the
state for the life Of Shaw was merely
the clamor Of the mob for blood. He
read freely from authorities and
perhaps delved more into the record
Of the evidence than any Of the
others.
Gen. Alternately closed. for the
state, and made mastery appeal
for the upholding Of the law. He
asked the jurors not to be swayed
by maudlin sentiment, but to do
their duty as George Reeves did it.
Gen. Alternately at one point in his
argument was interrupted by an OBJ
lection by Mr.. Galloway, and after
the court had overruled the object
ion the Sixteenth District prosecutor
scored the defense counsel because
Of the interruption.
Judge Baptist delivered a strong
charge, setting forth clearly the de-

they were addressing the jury.
Throughout the entire time the ST.
lenee Il the courtroom was impress

the pleaders and the sobs Of women,
Of whom there were at least a hum
dred present.
Just inside the railing that sep
arates the bar from the seats re-
served for the 0nlookers sat the
father and mother Of Kelley. With
her husbands arms protectingry
about her, Mrs. Kelley wept almost
constantly. At times Mr.. Kelley's
tear-dimmed eyes were hidden be-

sister Of the defendant sat in KEEL
ley's Jap, gazing wonderingly about
The room.
With the defendant Shaw sat his
wife, who went almost constantly
throughout the arguments. Shaw
all the time had one arm around his
wife, and he himself frequently
gave way To tears.
Mrs. Reeves, the widow Of the
murdered iailer, who had been in
attendance throughout the trial, sat
some distance from the others who
were directly or Indirectly involved
in the tragedy She made courag-
eous efforts to control her feelings,

said that their speeches were mas

grim tragedy Of November 30 ia
the Shelby county jail was enacted
by the speakers, but with widely
divergent views and far different
eonslusions.
Gen. Bates opened his agument at

minutes He said that he did not
believe either Kelley or Shaw fired
a shot during the struggle between
Jailer Reeves and Clyde Hamilton,
but they were murderers at heart,
who had conspired to break jail at
all costs, even the killing of Mr..
Reeves Oh anyone else who stood in
their way. Much had been made Of
