KELLEY AND SHAW
SENTENCED TO PRISON
Will Be Used As Witnesses Against
Irene Shaw

Covington, Tenn, March 9.-Mo-
tions for new trial having been form
ally withdrawn by their counsel, Abe
Cohn and A. B. Galloway, Edward b.
Kelley and Aida C. Shaw were this
morning sentenced by Judge r. B..
Baptist to serve prison terms of %
years each in the penitentiary at
Nashville.
This was the penalty inflicted by
the trial jury on Feb. 26 upon con-
viction of the charge of having con-
spired with Clyde Hamilton to muir
der Jailer George Reeves of Shelby
county in order to effect their escape.
Hamilton, who did the shooting, was
shot down at Winona, Miss, while re-
sisting arrest, following the flight of
the bandit trio.
In withdrawing motions for new
trials this morning, the attorneys for
the convicted men said that they felt
that their clients had been given the
benefit of every privilege allowed UNI
der the law, and that Kelley and
Shaw approved the action of counsel.
Kelley made a short talk following
imposition of the sentence, in which
he thanked the court and officers for
the treatment received at their hands
since he was brought to Covington,
and expressed appreciation for the
consideration given by the citizens of
Covington. Shaw had nothing to say.
Both of the convicted men are to
appear as witnesses in the case of
the state against Irene Shaw, wife of
Aida Shaw, who is under Indictment
as accessory to murder before the
fact 1t is charged that the woman
struggled into the Jail the two pistols
carried by Hamilton and Shaw, and
this contention was amply borne out
in the evidence against Kelley and
Shaw during their trial. 1t is further
supported by signed confessions of the
two men and the accused woman her.
self.
Irene Shaw's case is set for hearing
here next Tuesday.

little more than half of the carry
over of American cotton, appeared in
the Southern Ruralist of March 1st
'The carry-over from last year
1919-1920, was given to us by the
United States Department of Markets
as being 3,255,218 bales. Adding this
to the estimated crop of 1920, we have
a total supply for the present year OF

probable consumption there will re-

A lot of people are figuring on a
carry-over of nine million bales of
North American cotton, but we have
no figures that warrant that conclu-
sion. There is certainly a. vast diff
ference in our largest figure, 1892
228 and 100000.

A Ford sedan driven by Roy G.
Smith and Il Ford touring car driv-
en- by Rev. George G. Reeves came
into collision Monday forenoon at
11.30 O'Clock at the corner of College
avenue and Columbia road and both
machines being pretty well smashed
as a result of the encounter.
Rev and Mrs. Reeves and their
young son. Junior. were riding up
Colleeg avenue and was about to turn
into Columbia road when they no
tced that Ford sedan was coming
rapidly toward them down College
avenue Mrs. Reeves put ont her
hand but realized that it was too
late to prevent a collision and in a
: moment more, the sedan struck the
touring car squarely on the right for
ward wheel and turned It quarter
way round so that it faced toward
the city: The sedan ploughed by and
tipped over on its right side just in
front of the residence of Col. f. +.
Boothby.
Mr.. Smith, who was driving the
sedan had with him A. d. Sawtelle
and Is. r. NJ. Bates of Oakland. He
told the police that he did not know
that the other car was going to turn
in as he saw no signal and SO WAS
expecting to drive directly by. No
one could be found who saw the acct
dent, although crowd gathered as
soon as the sound Of the crash came.

it. contained broken. The right front
wheel of the Reeves car was smashed
and the left front wheel damaged.
The right mudguard was badly bent
and the windshield cracked. No one
was hurt with the exception of Mr..
Sawtelle who received a minor cut
on the head about an inch in length.
A peculiar incident in connection
with the accident was the fact that
Mrs Reeves young son was sitting
on her left side. When the car was
struck the child bounced from the
seat and was thrown directly across
her lap and was on the point of go
ing out through the side of the car
when she caught him by the legs and
held him in safety. The passengers
in the Smith car being closed in by
the car being on its side. were able
to make their exit through the roof
as the top was so badly smashed as
to make this possible.
Mr.. Smith stated to the police also
that he was not driving over 5 miles
an hour, but Rev. and Mrs. Reeves
say that he was driving much faster.
Rev and Mrs. Reeves have just ar
rived in this city from Michigan. Mr..
