SENTENCED TO 81 YEARS FOR
SLAYING FOREMAN.

Chattanooga, Tenn, June 9.-AleX
Robertson, who shot ana killed John
Il. Hauk, a foreman, at the plant
of the Chattanooga Sewer Pipe Works
company on May IL, was found guilty
OF murder in the first degree, with
mitigating circumstances and was SEN
fenced to twenty-one years in the
penitentiary. The trial and convic-
ton of Robertson set up new
speed record in the handling of
murder cases in the county. Rob
ertson killed Hauk on May II, was
arrested May 10, was indicted at a
special session CT the grand jury May
l6, and was tried and convicted May
20, only ten days having elapsed
between the commission of the crime
and conviction of the culprit.
From the evidence introduced there
was no doubt that Robertson executed
the murder of his foreman, but
neither was there any doubt that he
had had considerable pTovocation
The states principal witness, VINO
witnessed the killing swore that
Hauk, who has been working at the
plant for only a little more than
week, had evinced a hearty dislike
for Robertson on the second day
after he tool; charge of the gang, and
that he had spent a great deal of
time in cursing and abusing him.
Efforts to prove that Robertson was
a dangerous character were of no
avail, but the defense was able to
show that the deceased was of a
quarrc some nature, and was es-
pecially violent toward Negroes The
prosecution was conducted by Attor-
ney General Chamlee and ". W.
Draper, his assistant, while Robert
son was represented by Nipper and
Bachman and ". A. Scheduled.
Few of the facts regarding the
shooting of Hauk had been learned
until the trial and when the court
COM ened the spectators were expect
ing that hearing would end with the
imposition of the death sentence. or
at least with his life Imprisonment.
This opinion began to wane. how
ever, with the introduction of the
first witnesses who worked with
Robertson under Hauk, the sentiment
of the spectators underwent a change
and at the end of the trial there
were few who believed that the crime
justified the sentence.
The story of the killing was to the
effect that Hauk came to work at
the sewer pipe plant one week and
three days prior to the date of his
death. He Immediately evidenced a
dislike for Robertson and stated in
The Dallas express. [volume] (Dallas, Tex.) 1893-1970, 1921-06-11

the presence OF witnesses, on the
second day of his employ, that he
did not like Robertson looks and
was going TO get rid of him. He
cursed and abused Robertson re-
peatedly, according to witnesses, and
on the day of the killing. made good
his threats by discharging Robertson.
He wrote an order for his time and
sent him to the cashier with it. The
has a rule that when a
man is sent to the Office for his
money his time slip must contain
the notation Discharged This no.
tation was not on the slip and the
cashier sent Robertson back with it.
and. according to Robertson's own
statement, and that of other witness
es, an argument arose over the
amount due, Robertson claiming that
he had worked more hours than
Hauk was crediting him with, and
Hauk contendng that he had given
him all the time he had due. The
outcome of the argument was that
Hauk tore the time slip up and or
dered Robertson off the yard, telling
him that If he wasn't gone in three
minutes he would pick up something
and knock his brains out with it
Robertson left the yard, Hauk fol-
lowing behind him cursing, After he
had left the premises of the company
Robertson went home, procuring his
gun and returner to the plant He
came upon Houk standing near a
bOX-car, and stepping througs the
car threw his gun on the foreman
and demanded his money. The fore
man threw up one hand, and began
backing off with his right hand in
his hip pocket, Saying, wait a min
ute" and had backed away several
feet when Robertson fired bullet
striking Hauk in the side of the
head, Just over the left ear. He fell
forward on his face and died on
the way to the hospital in an am
buiance.

nent among the many factors that should
be mentioned in the educational progress
of the year is the aroused interest in edu-
cation itself, Mrs. Fannie Fern Andrews
of Boston told the National Education as
'sociation here today.
We might almost speak of an educa-
tional renaissance" Mrs Andrews said.
Educational leaders have become
leaders in educational progress they have
forced the public to recognize the impor-
lance of education in a new and different
light; they have established the belief
that education has social, economic and
political value-that the stability of the
country rests on education" Mrs. An
drews added. In the midst of economic
depressions and world upheaval. they
have demanded more money for the
schools. and they have convinced the pub
hc that the greatest financial asset of a
country, regardless of the moral asset
IS an educated people.
"A review of the educational legisla-
ton during the past year is a striking
evidence of this belief. The country can
not afford not to spend money for the
adequate education of all its children.
The determination to give every boy |
and girl a chance. to see that the IL |
100000 rural school children have oppor- |
-unltleS commensurate with the urban |
children Is a leading part of the program |
N this educational revival. and it is the |
educators who are forcing this problem |

AIRY funds for the realization of their |
'lans. They have made their own pro- |
