Accused Officer Freed.

Hopper testified that he and Stegall found still on the Lacotts place on the night of October IA, and that they lay in wait all night expecting the opera tors of the still to appear. About l o'clock the next day, he said, Capps and Lacotts came to the spot carrying guns, a bucket and some iron pipe. He said the officers stepped out in the open and told the men to hold up their hands but, he said, Capps jumped behind a
 tree and opened fire on Stegall. Hop per then shot Capps, he said, and turn ed his gun upon Lacotts, killing him almost instantly. Stegail said the jamming of his automatic shotgun pre- vented his getting a second shot at Capps. He testified that Lacotts was getting ready to shoot Hopper with his Springfield rifle when he was killed.

as saying that it ia great inconven- fence for them to attend Court, at the County Site. He seems to have forgot ten that the Court House in Hampstead county is away over at Washington. And even when you get to Washington, the Hope people claimed few years ago when they were voting on the ques- ton of removal of the county seat to Hope, that absolutely, there were no accommodations, at Washington, and they could not entertain court
 Further, we wish to say, at the time the ease was heard before the Circuit court. it was shown by citizens living in and around Sutton, that the bridge at Garner creek, was poorly construct ed, and was not of sufficient import ance to the travelling public to justify the expenditure.
 These are facts in the case, and the people can draw their own conclusions.
 Respectfully,

Dying Statement Read.

In dying statement Capps said that he and Lacotts were doing nothing in violation of the law an dthat they were not expecting to seen any officers. He said that his gun was on safety when he saw the officers and that it was still on safety after he was shot down. He denied having fired his gun. He said that Lacotts had set his gun down and was 10 or 1J feet away from it when the officers fired.
 The defense contended that the off cers shot Capps and Lacotts in the hon est belief that they were protecting their own lives. and in the discharge of their duty; and that they walked out in the open and faced the men whom | they believed to be desperate charac- ters, and that they shot from the open after fair warning. Capps maintained l in his dying statement that he did not hear any command to put up his hands Hopper and Stegall had been arrest l ed upon warrants issued upon indict- ments returned by the Grand Jury of Arkansas county charging them with 1 first degree murder The writ of ha beas corpus had been issued in behalf of Hopper and Stegall by United States District Attorney Wooten. Attorneys | for the state conceded that the peti tioners had the right to remove the case to the federal court for trial, provided they should be held for jury trial. The attorneys for the state felt that upon l a final trial the court should submit the question to jury to determine the guilt or innocence of the revenue off cers in shooting Capps and Lacotts.

THE REV. MIR. DELk SUES.

The Rev. James l.. Delk, who was barred from holding evangelistic meet ings at Liberty hall by Mayor Brick house, at the instigation of the Little Rock Ministerial Alliance, yesterday filed suit in the United States District Court against the Arkansas Democrat, one of Little Rocks afternoon newspa- pers. asking s30V00 damages. The Rev. MT. Delk charges that he was damaged by an article in the Democrat telling of the charges made against him by the Ministerial Alliance. The suit was filed in federal court because the Rev MT. Delk is not a resident of Arkansas. He gave his residence as Lincoln Nebraska-GaZette

Capps and Cecil Lacotts of Arkansas county, Judge Jacob trieber yesterday of Arkansas county officers. The at torneys for the state will appeal.

TO THE MUSIC LOVING PUBLIC

Attention is called to the display ad in today's issue, announcing the addi- tional personnel to the Grafonola De partment of the Prescott Hardware company.
 For several years this company has been agent for the well known Colum- bia machines, as we'll as the keeper of various records. But it is the intention of the company now, to broaden its scope of business and encourage q greater interest at home, by adding to the Music Depa rtment the services of Rev. Theo F. Hall, who will become outside solicitor, and his accomplished daughter, Miss Mary, who will have exclusive charge of the record depart ment.
 By this arrangement 1t is hoped to enlarge the interest in music, which is now and has ever been, and always will be, the source of highest and ho- Hest inspiration.
 It was music that cheered our boys to victory on the fields of France; it awakens in our soul the tender mem ories of a mothers love; it bids the trapeze performer undertake his most daring feat-and finally when death conquers in life's last contest, it is mu- sic, whose melody is last heard at the grave.
 Columbia Grafonolos can furnish each home with the songs and harps of all ages.
 Miss Mary Hall will be glad to show you any one of the 2.500 different rec ords in her department at the Prescott Hardware company, and you may make your selections after hearing them played on the Grafonola of any ColuIn- ria model desired.

GOVERNOR VE-
 TOES MEASURE
SUGGESTS ADVISABILITY OF RE- DUCING NUMBER OF CHAN.
 CERY DISTRICTS

Governor McRae made use of tho veto power for the first time yesterday when he returned to the Senate with out his approval bill by Senator Hart je of Faulkner county providing for an official stenographer for the Ninth Chancery District.
 In his veto message the governor said that he did not see the necessity for stenographers in any of the chan cery districts inasmuch as the testi- mony is, or should be, taken by depo- sition
 Also he suggested the advisability of redistricting the state with view to reducing the number of chancery dis tricts and requiring more frequent terms.
 Following receipt of the veto mes sage, Senator Johnston, chairman of the Senate Committee on Apportion- ment, said that he will call a joint Ol tDe JtIlhU anu k1Oust .AU- portionment Committees to be held Tuesday for the purpose of taking up the matter of redistricting both Chan cery and Circuit Court districts. The governor, in his veto message, said: II do not appreciate the neeess- ity for stenographers in any of the chancery districts, inasmuch as the tes- timony is, or should be, taken by depo- sition; but if provided by one, 1t should be prov ded for all. The General As- sembly should, think, fix the cempen- ation to be paid stenographers for talk ing dispositions and if necessary au- thorize the chancellor to appoint com missioners authorized to take such dep ositiOns am also impressed with the fact that we have too many cbancery districts in our state and suggest to you the propriety of redistricting the state, with a view to reducing the num- Der of districts, and requiring more fire quent terms. ."-Gaxette

Speaking OF coolness, electricity has
solved another big problem Of the
modern home in iceless refrigeration.
The same wires which bring electric.
ity to light and heat the home, carry
energy to cool the refrigerator, and
make the principle of cold storage per.
fectly practicable for home use. Just
think what it would mean to know
that the refrigerator would be kept
at the same low temperature all tho
time, more than ten degrees lower
than ice makes 1t, even when the ice
chamber is entirely filed. And all
this is done automatically by the ther.
mostat in the brine tank which occu.
pies the compartment which formerly
held ice. A condensing coil and small
motor installed in some out-of-the-way
place, perhaps in the cellar below the
kitchen, completes the plant, which
revolutionizes ideas of home preserva-
ton of fresh foods. In cleanliness
there is no comparison between it and
the old way of having ice brought into
the house from wagons which are none
too clean after trips through dusty
streets. Dampness from dripping
melting ice Is very conducive to de-
cay, while the crisp dry atmosphere
of the electrical refrigerator preserves
the foods and delicacies in way that
fee cannot approach. For table use,
small cakes Of ice are frozen from
your favorite drinking water in trays
which fit into spaces. in the brine tank.
These, you may be sure are pure and
clean, as the iceman's product cannot
possibly be.
