Officers Acquitted.

The suit for damages against Geo.
Coffey, Sheriff of Adair county, S. f.
Coffey, Frank winfrey, deputy sher-
ifs, and Elba Miller, deputy jailer OF
this county, brought by the widow of
Clarence Van Arnsdale, came on for
trial in the Green circuit court last
Tuesday. The amount asked by the
plaintiff was $4,000.
The defendants were represented by
Jones & Garnett, L. C. Winfrey and
W. A. Coffey, of the Columbia bar,
and Judge Hal Graham and Charles
Noggle, Greensburg. The plaintiff
was represented by JEFF Henry and
Boyce Skaggs, of Greensburg.
The case was argured by Judge W..
W. Jones and Judge Hal Graham for
the defendants, Mr.. JEFF Henry and
Boyce Skaggs for the plaintiff.
Quite crowd was present during
the taking Of the testimony, and it
was generally believed by outsiders be-
fore the jury was given the case that
the plaintiff would fail to get judg-
ment. 1t has been reported to this
Office that the jury was not out more
than twenty minutes before it return
ed with a verdict in favor of the de-
fendants.
Friends of the officers here are GER
tainly glad that the case has been set.
tied, and that they have been exon
Grated from blame.
In this day of moonshining, officers
may be called npon to do some very
unpleasant acts, but when they are
called to 60 out and make arrests, If
they are courageous men they will do
their duty. In this case the good peo-
pie of Adair county stood by the off,
GERS as they should.
This raid and what followed should
be a warning to all parties who have
an inclination to disobey the laws of
the government. Lawless men can
not psrsistently violate the laws of
the United States and live. They
may survive for awhile, but sooner or
later they will come to the end of
their course. .....
In the Keltner case no one would
have been killed if the officers had
not been fired upon.
If the moonshineIs had surrendered
when they were told to so do, instead
Of showing fight, Van Arnsdale would
be living to day and Teddy Morrison
would not have been wounded.

They landed just as the rain that fol-
lowed a storm, commenced to fall.

Killed While Attempting Murder.

A remarkable case in which
two women were killed, in Ten
nessee, Just over the Cumberland
County, Kentucky line, has just reach
ed the News. The names Of the parties
could not be gotten, DR., a. B. Simp-
son, who lives in this County, only three
quarters of mile from the Cumber-
land county line, gives out this story,
and Mr.. John Lee Walker, a merchant
of Columbia, who had talk with DR..
Simpson, says there is no doubt as to
its truthfulneSs. Here is the story,
as related:
On the Tennessee side lives a man
who is in fairly good circumstances,
who had a sale of all his stock, house
hold goods and other articles one day
last week, the sale amounting to
about 81, 500 or s2,O 900. 1t was a cash
sale and the money, had not been re-
moved from the house.
About dark a man who travels over
the country, selling preparatory med
icine, reached the house to lodge for
the night, he having frequently stop
ped with the family. He was told
that the house was torn up, that ev-
erything in it but a few things had
been sold that day, and it was impos-
sible for them to comfortably lodge
him. He told them that he could
not get anywhere else and that he
would 60 upstairs and sleep on a pal
let. He was told that if he would be
satisfied to spend the night in that
way, it would be all right with them.
About that time another man rode up
to the house and asked the man, the
head Of the family, to 60 fox hunting.
The man answered that he could not
leave the house under the circum.
stances. The medicine man. not sus-
pecting anything wrong, told him to
60 hunting, that he would be upstairs
and would protect his wife ard daugh-
ter. He went and at a very late hour
the medicine man heard a terrible
commotion below, and also the screams
OF women. He reached for his revolv-
er, and when he got in the lower
room, two black men we're choking
the mans wife and daughter and
cutting them about the floor. He fired
and killed what he supposed two ne
gro men, but upon examination they
proved to be white women blacked,
one of them the wife of the man who
called for his friend to go hunting
and the other one the wife of another
hunter.
The scheme was to kill the mans
wife and daughter and get the cash
money from the sale.

B. A. LaWleSs in Trouble.

The following article is from the
Lexington Herald, sent by the Asso-
ciated Press:
FRANKFORT, KY, Juns 26.-(By
the Associated Press)-B. A. Lawless,
of jamestown, county superintendent
of public instruction for Russell ooun-
ty, has been indicted on a charge of
falsifying the grades of a teacher
seeking certificate, and an indict
ment charging him with illegally en-
ploying another teacher was being
drawn on Saturday when Warren G.
Peytou, state school inspector, left
jamestown, it was announced here
today by George Colvin, state superin-
tendent of public instruction. The
indictment alleging Justification of
the examination grades was returned
last October and is expected to come
to trial soon.
Superintendent Law less is charged
in the Indictment returned last Octo-
Der with having changed the grades Of
Mrs. Lena Hale to make it appear
that she had not been granted a cer-
tificate and thus prevented her from
getting school last winter. Mrs.
Hale, according to Inspector Peyton,
is an experienced. teacher. In May,
1921, she took an examination. She
passed, and the state department., of
education, as the rule, sent the grades
to the county Superintendent in order
that he might notify the teachers.
Mrs Hale was told that she did not
pass and the list of grades was shown
her to prove it, the inspector said.
A week or more later she received a
letter from the state department OF
education containing her certificate.
Acting on the assumption that she
had not passed. she was surprised
when the certificate arrived and wrote
to State Superintendent Colvin ask
ing him why it was that she had re.
ceived a certificate after the county
superintendent had notified her that
she had failed to pass.
Inspector Peyton said that an in
vestigation showed that the figures or
the list sent to the county superin
tendent had been changed after thel
left the Office in Frankfort The mat
ter was laid before the Russell county
grand jury and an indictment was re-
, turned.
Mrs. Hale, according to Inspecto
Peyton, had had some trouble will
the county superintendent over tn,
question of pay for work she hat
done He has since refused to Civ
the teacher a school, the inspecto
said.
In the second case against Superin
tendent Lawless placed before tn
grand jury, Inspector Peyton said, i
is charged that he employed Miss Lu
cy Kimbler to teach a school whel
she had no certificate. The inspecto
said that evidence had been gathere
to the effect that all reports for th
. school were made out in the name Q
Miss B. B. Webb, who had a certif
cate, and that all pay vouchers wei
9 made out in her name. Miss Webb
!, he said, signed the vouchers and wal
rants, and tt @saperintendent CAV
the money to Miss Kimbler.

Plans for raising funds for the
proposed memorial building to be
erected on the campus of the Uni
