THE TRIAL AND EVIDENCE OF
THE CASE


MEMPHIS, Tenn, Nov. 29.-Wil-
liam Truett left the stand with little
chance for an saequittal of the charge
of murder against him for the kill
ing Of George Gilmore on June 20.
He admitted the main contentious of
the state in that the difference be-
tween them arose from a conversa-
ton realtive to the girls who worked
for the Shelby Biscuit factory, and
that later Truett took the pistol from
Patrolman Bruton and returning to
the scene of the verbal clash, renewed
the conversation and at the end of it,
shot Gilmore. However, Truett plac-
ed very different tone on the con-
versation relative to the girls and
claimed that he went back to the
scene with the pistol to ask Gilmore
to apologize and then only shot when
Gilmore made the old reliable thrust
of the right hand to the hip pocket.
Gen. Bates and John T. Shea, his
assistant, are conducting the prose-
cution. They had very brief case.
one of the briefest on record for a
charge of first degree murder. DR..
r. L. Sanders and Miss Daisy Gil
more. sister of the dead man, proved
that he died of pistol shot wounds.
DIR. Sanders told of the location of the
two wounds. One entered the right
shoulder near the neck and ranged
down through the lung. The other
entered the left flank and ranged
nearlv straight through the body.
DR.. Sanders said that either of the
wounds would have been fatal.
The state put on only two material
witnesses, Mrs. Ola Hughes, in whose
lunchstand the row started. and r. c.
Bruton, the officer with whose pistol
Gilmore was slain.
Mrs. Hughes stated that many of
the biscuit factory girls went to her
place, across the street from the fac
tory, for their lunch, and when they
oil had lett, Gilmore remarked to her
that they were a nice looking lot of
girls and asked if there were no old
women working over there. Truett
had resented the remarks of Gilmore
She tried to get him not to take part
in the conversation, reminding him
that Gilmore had addressed the re-
marks to her and not to him. How
ever, Truett had proceeded with the
talk and she, after telling them that
they could not have a row in her
place, left the stand, but returned in
a moment, having gone only eight or
ten feet from it.
She herself formerly worked at the
factory and has girl now working
there. She denied emphatica'ly that
Gilmore's remarks were in any man.
ner derogatory to them or their char
acter. Only herself and the two men
were in the stand at the time. She
knew both Gilmore and Truett, and
seemed to have been on good terms
with both of them.
Truett left the stand going west.
Soon thereafter Gilmore left going
east He had gone but a few feet
when Truett returned. She saw the
first shot and was running from the
scene when she heard the second
shortly thereafter. Gilmore fell in
her yard at No. 72 West Colorado
Avenue.
Knew of No Bad Feeling
Bruton had heard of no unpleasant
ness between the men and was seated
in a restaurant half block west of

In all, about 100000 persons will go South this

with the hotels. There famous places of

The total hotel capacity of these places is 49,

be reckoned at about two weeks. That would

other 10000 find their way to the smaller places

1t is from this great majority, also that the

Visitors to National Parks.

The national parks and monuments last sum
attracted LOSS 400 visitors from all parts of
the United States. Many of these tourists were
from the South. Not@rcarS from practically
every Southern state were largely in evidence.
In 1917 travel to national parks tOtaled 4SS,26S
visitors, which increase of over 100000
visitors for the best previous travel year. In 1913
the year. 451,661 visitors recorded in
the Same national parks. In 1919 two additional
national parks created, and travel for that
year increased to 755,325 visitors 81 per cent

These visitors spent lot of money all along the
route-many millions.
Here's a prediction that is interesting. The
time is not far distant when several of the nation
al parks will be crowded in winter with visitors
enjoying winter sports.
Up TO very recently the general public has re-
garded the national parks in general inacces-
sible and uninhabitable desolatiOns in winter This
idea of the national parks in winter is all wrong
and the public is fast coming to realize that TO
abIe-bodied and red-blooded people they quite

"see America First"

From the viewpoint of the red-blooded man and
woman looking for winter outdoor sport three OF
the national parks likely to be pre-eminent.
These are Yosemite, Mount Rainier and Rocky
Mountain.
Many able-boded and redblooded Americans
do not care TO follow the summer all the year. It
is touch of frost that brings to his full
mental, moral and physical stature. And there
will soon be no finer winter playground in the
world than IN Rocky Mountain. Yosemite and
Mount Rainier National parks.
