DEFENDED BY ATTORNEY GEO.
D. MOORE.

Leroy Williams, a young colored
man, was hung March 3rd at the
West Virginia Penitentiary. He was
sentenced to death in the Intermedi-
ate Court of Kanawha County after
being convicted by jury of rape
on Mrs. Maude Stephens, of
Charleston the wife of a coal
operator of that city. The evidence
showed that the prisoner attacked
the woman in her home, on the
suburb of the city on the 18th of
December. He was arrested about
two hours afterward; special grand
jury called and indicted on the 14th I;
his trial set for the 21st of Deem
Der and Mr.. Geo. d. Moore was
designated by the court 90 represent
the Defendant. The Charleston
papers stated that the case had at
tracted more attention than any
other case in that city for ten years.
The prisoner was kept in the
Huntington jail for safety until the
trial started About one hundred
officers, which included deputy sher-
ifs, city policemen and state police,
were in attendance at the trial to
preserve order. The trial lasted
three days, he being found guilty on
the 23rd of Decenink~
His attorney II the case
reversed by the Eourt on
he ground that the IT, urt should
have granted the change of venue
petitioned for, but the Supreme
Court refused to allow the writ of
error. Governor Morgan was petit
toned by a number of prominent
colored citizens of Charleston to
commute the sentence to life i'm
prisonment, but he said that he
could not do so.
The last words of the prisoner be-
fore he went to the scaffold were to
send thanks OF Mr.. Moore, for his
efforts in his behalf and adding that
as God was His Judge, he was inno-
cent of the crime fro which his life;
was to be forfeited. The man had
been in Charleston about six months,
coming from Pennsylvania. He re-
fused to tell where his home was, or
to communicate with his people.

PRESCOTT WINS AGAIN
Defeats Nashville High, 2S to 13, in
 Close Contest at Nashville.

Nashville, Oct 2O.-Prescott High School defeated the Nashville High school team on the local field this afternoon by score of 2S to 13. There were few fumbles or penalties. The Nashville boys had a decided adyant- age in the first half, battering the Prescott line almost at will, but the advantage in weight of the visitors was too much for the locals, who be- gan to weaken when the second half started.
 With the ball almost on the Prescott line, Nashville attempted a forward pass, which was intercepted by Sage .of Prescott, who got away and raced the entire length of the field for Pres 'cotts last touchdown. The game was fairly clean and there were few suuab- Ibles. No substitutes were used by Nashville, and Prescott used only one This is the first time the local team has been scored against this season.

For the casual visitor never realizes that the published drawings of the planet represent the very most that can be seen at the most exceptional moment.

 ed Seventy=FOur Years

i Malvern, Oct 17.-A native seed corn three generations of one family and kept pure for "A years has been found in Hot Springs county by County Agent Byron w. Butler MT. Butler wrote Prof L. W. Osborn, assistant agrono- mist of the University of Arkansas and secretary of the Arkansas Seed Crow CTS Association of his discovery, and
 Prof. Osborn made trip to Malvern to see the corn. He pronounced it to be as pure seed corn as can be found
 in the state, and he will return to Nal
 vern ill January to select 100 ears of the corn to be planted at the state ex- pertinent farm at Fayetteville next year.
 The seed corn, which is of he white variety, was brought from southwest Missouri in 1S4S by Milton Davis, who bought farm few miles south of
 Malvern. During his lifetime he kept the seed pure His son, J. w. Davis,
 followed his fathers example through 90 years of farming, and now, "A years
 after the seed was brought to Arkansas Jim Davis is planting the same pure seed corn his grandfather planted, and on the same fram. Each generation
 of the Davis family has field selected the seed, and they have found the corr

Cy Adams says: Our tin Lizzie is just like folks. She rattles and knocks and puffs while pulling the grade but you ought to hear her purr when she strikes the level road.
 From the exhibit at the State fair made by Arkansas corn club boys, 1t might be inferred that they can show their daddies something when it comes to raising corn.

---------U-------- TWO KILLED BY TENN. MOB
Father and Son Are Taken From Jail
 and ShCt to Death.

Nashville, Tenn. Oct 20.-Ed Hart ley and his son, George Hartley, re- gently convicted of manslaughter in connection with the killing of Connie Hartley, Ed Hartley's nephew, in Ben- ton county last February, were taken from the jail at Camden at midnight and shot to death in vacant lot 200 yards from the jail.
 News from Camden is that the mob numbering between 25 and 50 men, with faces blacked, appeared at the jail and, overpowering Sheriff E. G.. Flowers, took the Hartleys and, marching them to the vacant lot. rid died them with bullets. The mob is said to have proceeded in an orderly manner. At the time of the killing of Connie Hartley last February, his father, John Hartley, was seriously wounded, being at deaths door for several days.
 Ed and George Hartley were con- 'iS'0" oA 'oiuii,dIy IIIdHSlduSnCef Tn the Benton county circuit court Sep tember P, and made a motion for a new trial. At the time of the trial Gid Hartley, son of Ed Hartley, and Bill Conley, a boy, were acquitted. This was the first case of mob violence was the first case of mob law in Ben ton cOunty's history.
 A coroner's jury which investigated the work of the mob this morning re- turned a verdict that the Hartley's came to their death at the hands of unknown persons. There is nothing to indicate that the participants were other than sympathizers of John Hart ley and his dead son, Connie.
