 To Stay at Ozark.
 Pendergrass will be kept in the Ozark jail until his trial unless released on bond. There was no evidence in Ozark Thursday of any possibility of mob violence. The streets were almost deserted for a cold wind swept down out of the mountains and drove ev- cry one to a fire, in the confec- tioneries. drug stores and hotels. the Pendergrass case was still the sole topic of conversation, not only in Ozark. but in nearly every town in Franklin county.

Pend ergrass has accumulated many enemies, partly through his tenn porary appointment as state mine inspector in 1919 during the big coal strike and partially through personal dislike.

State is Preparing Evidence to Be Used in Trial of Willard Psndsrsrass, Altus Lawyer Accused of the Crime.


 The last word of Clay McElroy former county treasurer of Frank lin county, as he lay dying in the street, last Friday summarize the case the state will present a. gainst Willard Pendergrass. AL tus lawyer, in his trial for murd- CT.
 Not once, but 2 or three times in his few minutes of life after the shot that sent a bullet entire ly through his hody from right to left, McElroy cried out, "Oh God, You have broken up my home, ruined my daughter and now you have killed me.
 Pendergrass' defense may be summed up in the statement he is alleged to have made immedi- ately after the shot was fired. when he turned to by-standers and cried, you saw him try to shoot me. didn't you?'
 Two big issues loom up in the case.
 First was McElroy right in his charge that you have ruined my daughter" and second, did Pen- dergrass honestly believe that McElroy was intent on taking his life as the former county treas urer walked out of the Peoples Bank with a shot gun under his arm.
 Friend of Family,
 The state will contend that Pendergrass. for years friend of the McElroy family. famil- far visitor at the home as little Edna Jean. was growing into womanhood is responsible for the misfortune that befell her before her recent 18th birthday. The state will contend further that Pendergrass stood in front of the stairway immediately adjoining the Peoples Bank on the after noon of the tragedy, that he saw McElroy in the bank playing with high school children as they came in to get savings banks that were being given away, that he saw McElroy pick up shot gun he had left there two or three weeks before. and started out the door. on his way to his home: That Pendergrass ran up the stairway a few steps, and from the cover of its walls. fired the shot that ended McElroy's life, as the latter passed by the stair way on the sidewalk, his face turned straight ahead, unaware of any danger.
 The defence will reply on the theory that Pendergrass was not responsible for any of the girls troubles; that when he saw Me Elroy coming out of the bank with 8 shot gun in his hand he believed McElroy intended to kill him, and that it was a question of who shot first.
 The high spots in the testimony will be brought to light under oath within another week. when council for Pendergrass applies to Circuit Judge James Cochran of Paris for a writ of habeas cor pus asking that Pendergrass be released on bond.
 It is now planned to have this hearing at Paris. and witnesses for both state and defense will be taken there for the hearing. Judge Cochrane is now engaged in a trial session at Bonneville, which will be concluded middle of next week. The application will be filed immediately after ward. it was stated by Fender grass attorneys,

Two witnesses, it is understood will be pre- ented by the state who will testify that McElroy told them he had decided to let the affair drop. to avoid further trouble.
 McElroy's possession of the gun will be explained by the state in this way: several weeks be. fore, McElroy had been duck hunting and stopped in the Peo- pies Bank on his return to town. He left the shot gun there. until a more convenient time to take it home.
 On the afternoon of bis death McElroy stood in front of the bank as Judge J. P. Clayton. a prominent attorney and one of the states special counsel in the case, came by on his way to his office, Judge Clayton asked Mir. McElroy to go into his office for a game of rock. but McElroy de- clined. saying he had to go home.
 McE!roy went into the bank. where school children were con- ing for the little savings banks which the bank was giving away. McElroy knew all of them. He was very fond of children. For several minutes he played and talked with the childreo. Then he called for one of the banks for his own young son. picked up his shot gun and started out with the gun under his arm.
 Contradictions Likely.
 Upon this point there vii, be a conflict in the testimony. State witnesses will say that McElroy always shot from the left should.

 The exact theory of the de. fense on this point has not beon made clear. but Jack Carter. one of Pendergrass' counsel said the evidence on this point Twill be different" It will be Fender grass theory that McElroy had the gun in q threatening attitude. ready to shoot him.
 Interest was intense Thursday morning when Pendergrass was brought out of jail for the pre-. liminary hearing the capacity crowd that jammed the court room was disappointed, for noth. ing more interesting happened than the announcement that Pendergrass would waive a hearing and the justice remand. ed him without bond to jail There was nothing else to do Bond cannot be allowed by a justice under Arkansas law in a capital otfense.

Here's Your Hampden

The Daily Register is much in
terested in what the city and
country papers are saying about
the next Democratic candidate
for governor. Many of the Dem
ocratic papers call for a new
deal, they demand a man who
ranks above the average profess
sional politician and candidate; in
fact, one has called for a John
H2mpden, of the Cromwellian
age who shall lead his party anc
his state to bigger and better
things.
Some papers say this is dicta-
tcrial, especially when certain
candidates and prospective can
dates are more or less proscrib-
ed. 1t appears to the Daily Reg
lister, however, that any and
every newspaper has an indis-
putable right to express its frank
opinion of any man who is men
toned or announced for such ex-
allied position. and while some of
such may find much favor in the
eyes of this newspaper, still it
would not object to other journ-
mails expressing their opinions.
That is the right of every man
and every newspaper.
Rut they call for an Hampden;
q man who stands four-square ::
integrity unimpeachable; courage
undenied; wearing the collar of
no man or set Of men; no chronic
office-seeker II or professional
politician. man who has made
good in executive capacities that
may fit him for the greater
sphere Of the Executive Mansion,
and vet withal a man who sees in
the opportunities as governor of
Kentucky, field Of real construC-
tive usefulness, Of sincere will
ingness to serve his state as his
ambition, and not stepping stone
to some future political prefer
ment. These are their specifica-
tions, roughly stated. Many have
endorsed them, but none has
named man to fit them; none
has suggested a candidate who
fills the bill.
The Daily Register knows SUCH
a man. Madison county Democ-
racy offers him to the people of

GEO by many as so crucial in the
