EDD|NS BEGINS LIFE
Sentence IN state
PRISON TODAY
Slayer Of Ben Schumacher Is Taken to
Frankfort Penltentlary to Begin
Life Behind Bars-NegrO
Also Begins Term.

Sheriff c. e. Galbreath and Deputy
Sheriff Carry M. Devore left this
morning for Frankfort having in
charge Henry Eddins and Jesse Utter
back under sentence to serve terms in
that institution. Utterback goes for a
three year term having been convicted
Of pocket picking at the Germantown
Fair last year, while Eddns goes to
spend the balance of his days In the
institution having been convicted of
willful murder for the Staying Of Ben
Schumacher, night watchman at the
Maysville Cotton Mills.
Eddins' case was one of the most
peculiar murder cases tried in Mason
county in years. At his first arrest in
Lexington, the man confessed that he
slew Schumacher by shooting him
through with shotgun. At that time
he claimed that he had come to Mays
vile to talk peace with Schumacher,
they having had considerable trouble
over the night watchman's wife. He
contended that he was compelled to
shoot the watchman in self defense.
At the trial Of the case Eddins did not
take the stand and therefore could not
plead self-defense but at his sentence
ing he told Judge Newell that he was
compelled to shoot the man.
After all obtainable facts were be-
fore the public, it became the general
opinion of the majority that this was
one Of the most cruel murders in the
history Of the county.
Eddins has been for months resign
ed to take a life sentence and an eff
fort was made three different times
to compromise the case by the taking
of this sentence but there was no COM
promise to be made contended Prose-
cutor Grannis. Eddins is 43 years old
and has two small children, who are
with relatives in Tennessee, his wife
being dead.

tobacco sales today. 1t was probably
the most irregular sale held in NAYS
Vile IN years For time the leaf
seemed to be bringing fairly good
prices, at least up to this years stand
ard, and then all at once the price
would drop and very low prices would
prevail for time.
Tobacco men asked to express their
opinion on today's market stated that
the best way they could express it was
to say that the market was irregular
while they added that there was no
doubt that the price was some under
yesterdays although they modified
this statement by adding that there
was a very poor break of tobacco to-
day.
Block sales were finished at the
Planters and the Home warehouses
and sales were started at the Inde-
pendent. 1t is expected that sales will
be started early tomorrow at the
Growers house.
Discussion by the farmers on the
street overheard by the passersby
plainly showed that there was a diff

dissatisfied while another crowd
would think that the price obtaining
