The Parisian. (Paris, Tenn.) 1907-1962, 1921-03-18

Kelsh as the same man who had
vious occasion. Stewart and his young
friend walked on and soon parted
company, the young man to go home
and Stewart to go to nearby res
taurant to get some pie and milk
before going to his room at Mr.
Wilson'S Just before reaching the
restaurant, Relish drove up to the
curb and got out and again asked
Stewart if he would make the drive
for him, and Stewart again replied
that his car was not fixed and that
even If it were fixed that he would
not go, and asked Relish why he did
not go in the car he had, and Relish
said that the car was not big enough
and that's it did not belong to him.
He then said to Stewart that if he
would go that he would hire or bor-
row car and give him 500; that
he would furnish the car for him
him at the Peabody Hotel in Mem
phis and have all arrangements made.
But Stewart still refused to have any
thing to do with the proposition and
went into the restaurant, and Kelsh
followed him in, and asked a man
whom he had met previously what
kind of a boy Stewart was and ii
he would be likely to go into the
whiskey deal, and he was told that
Stewart was not that kind OF boy
and would not enter any such scheme.
kelsh had some white whiskey and
asked those in the restaurant to have
a drink, but Stewart refused Some
drank and Kelsh again insisted on
Stewart drinking, which he refused.
Finally however, Kelsh succeeded in
getting Stewart to take drink or
so, and Stewart soon began to get
sick and Relish suggested that they
with him and drove him around for
a while, and got him to take another
drink. After time he stopped the
car and left Stewart in 1t, and told
him to wait until he came back
While Stewart was there in the car
Mr. Wilson at whose house he had
been staying and who was on the
police force of Mayfield, came by
and shook Stewart and tried to rouse
him up, having been told by party
at the restaurant that the boy who
had been staying at his house had
been drinking and appeared to be
getting too much and for him to
watch out for him. Mr. Wilson said
that Stewart appeared stupid and
drunk, but said that he would be
on out soon. A while thereafter,
Relish returned and shook Stewart
trying to wake him up, and started
town, and upon getting out there
told Stewart that he had the car
for him to make the trip to- Memphis
in---got him out of the car he was
in and into the other one and started
him out telling him that he would
meet him in Memphis. Stewart has
only a hazy recollection of this, and
in Tact has no recollection of a great
deal OF it, not remembering at all
about seeing anyone in Paris and
talking to them, and has only hazy
remembrance about stopping at his
home and getting his rifle. Up in
the day following his leaving Mayfield
his senses began to clear and down
between Mckenzie and Milan, he be-
gan to wonder what he was doing
with the car and some of the events
of the night before came back to
him. He drove on to the next town
TO see where he was, and upon com
ing to Milan, started back to May
field to see what it was all about,
but after going 25 or 80 miles, night
came on, and he got stuck on a hill
and in looking through the pockets
of the car for a flash light he found
an automatic pistol and being forced
to stay there the entire night alone,
put it in his pocket. After having
been away SO long from Mayfield,
he decided the next morning that
he had probably better go on to
Memphis, turn the car over to Relish
and come home, not Knowing that
the car was stolen. He then retra-
ced his steps to Milan and started to
Memphis, but was stopped by the
officers at Stanton, and then and
there told them that he did not steal
the car, that he did not want requi-
