Women Confess Furnishing Gun
In Bond Murder.
Liza Lott Sister of Convicted Slayer Admits Slipping
Weapon to Man Who Killed Harris; Sisters Corroborae

was not committed. Mrs. Bond
stated that her husband swore he
would not use the gun if he were
given life Imprisonment.
The plot by which gun could be
Struggled in to Bond was hatched
on the return of his family to the
home in Lamar county Thursday
night, July 6. Bond had said, Let
Liza bring it., and Liza declared
that she wanted to take the weapon
to the condemned man, he being her
favorite brother She said she
would like to take her own gun,
but it was not at the house and
could not be secured on short notice
Mrs. Hattie Sledge, the other sis
ter. then went to the home OF a
neighbor about half mile from
the Bond home and got her own gun
the weapon with which Russ Harris
was killed
Early FRIDAY morning Liza Lott
was up preparing. as she said, a
lunch to take with her to jackson.
In the bottom of bag IN which the
mother of Henry Bond had placed
tomatoes to be taken to her son,
Liza put the revolver, wrapped in
paper. She then took a train and
came to this city on her mission.
When Liza with her bag of toma-
toes arrived at the Jail, Russ Harris
was out in the yard. She knocked
on the door and was admitted by
Harry Heveron, who had been act
ing as jailer while Mr.. Harris had
been on long planned fishing trip.
He had returned on Monday.
Henry Bond was on the third
floor ard was out of his cell, as was
custom from time to time, Called
by Heveron, Bond came downstairs
and talked for quite while with his
sister. Liza placed the bag IN the
window and probably gave some
sign to Bond by which he would
know it contained the gun he had re-
quested.
When Liza finished her talk with
Bond she left the Jail and returned
on an afternoon train home where
she told the others concerned in the
plot that she had not been searched
and had succeeded in delivering the
gun.

Profanity Is Most Useless Habit.

There is no more useles habit in

using profane language. 1t benefits
no one in any way and injuries the
one who uses it. And. Mr.. Profane
Swearer. did you eyer stop to think
that of the entire Ten Command
meAts the only one in which God
says, 81 will not hold him gulltless
for its violation is the one against
taking his name IN vain? That it is
a habit that almost any man easily
can quit is shown by the fact that no
self-respecting man will use profani-
~ in the presence OF lady and but
few in the presence OF minister OF
1.-THE gospel. If the swearer can con-
troll himself in the presence of lady
he can also control himself in The
