MIDDLETON's SLAYER
is REFUSED BOND
May Plead "Unwritten Law"-Admits
NE waited Nearly q Year to
Catch Neighbor Alone.

Hazlehurst, Miss, Feb. /. - After
hearing large number of witnesses at
the preliminary trial today of Monroe
Hall charged with the murder of Davis
Middleton January 20, Magistrates A.
W. Russell and H. M. Cooke committed
Hall to Jail without bond to await the
action of the grand jury in May. De-
fense attorneys are expected to sue for
a writ of habeas corpus before Judge
D. M. Miller to obtain Halls release on
bond. The case is said to involve the
'unwritten law"
Hall, it is charged, emptied two
charges of buckshot at Middleton from
double-barrelled shot gun. Testimo-
ny offered today mainly concerned the
characters of Hall and Middleton. There
were no witnesses of the tragedy. Hall
did not testify and no defense witness
es were examined.
John Evans, the constable who
brought Hall to town repeated what
Hall told him Immediately after the
killing. His testimony is substance was
that Hall said he killed Middleton be-
cause Middleton had said insulting
ords to Halls wife in March, 1921,
that he had not killed Middleton before
because he waited to get a. chance to
kill Middleton when they were alone,
as Hall did not want to get any one
else in trouble about the matter. Evans
said that Hall told him he wished he
had shot Middleton in two parts" that
he had told only one person previously
of his intention to kill Middleton and
that person was his brother-in-law, John
F'unehess, who lives near Hall.
The other witnesses to tell of what
Hall told Immediately after the tragedy
was Joe Hester, who lives near each
of the men. He testified that Hall and
Middleton had always been close
friends until about ten months ago;
that Middleton was as good a neighbor
as was to be found in the county, a
leading worker in his church at Smyr-
ma and bore a splendid reputation. He
said that on one occasion when Hall
was sick that Middleton helped to gath
er the crops Of Hall, and helped to build
room for Hall to his house some
years ago. He said that there had
been rumors of the bad feeling between
the men, Hall and Middleton, for a
year and that they did not speak.
He said that Immediately after the
killing of Middleton, Hall came to his
home and told him of having killed
Middleton, and said to him: Middleton
tried to run but I got him."
R. N Miller, prosecuting attorney
tried to show that Hall had waylaid
Middleton by hiding in a clump of
bushes by the side of the road Hester
said that he did find beaten down
place near where the killing occurred
which seemed to show that Hall had
been in hiding there for some time. The
two children of Hall were put, on the
stand and told substantially the same
story as did the first two witnesses.

COOPERATION MEANS SUCCESS.

The organization of the Bankers and
Merchants Fire Insurance Co., brought
about by the full and hearty co-opera-
ton of some of the leading business
men of Jackson and of Mississippi, a.
gain emphasizes the fact that through
cooperation big things can be accom-
plished and accomplished quickly.
Not only will this Company afford
Fire Insurance for the people of Mis-
-sissippi but it will also afford a pro-
fitable investment for money and Gre
ate an organization in Jackson which
will clear from one to Two Millions of
dollars annually through the Banks
there.
The men behind the Bankers and Mer-
chants Fire Insurance Co., are known
far and wide for the success they have
made in life and for their integrity
and ability to do things in big way.
None of these men has ever failed in
any undertaking, but on the other hand
they have achieved success in every en-
terprise in which they have had a part
in the management
President R. E. Remington and
Treasurer ]. M. fairfield have been in
the East during the past week on per-
sonal business, but while there they
will make some inquiry as to the op-
Grafton of big insurance companies.
Vice-President King has been in Chi
cago and at other points arranging re-
insurance facilities. He is well known
in the insurance world and will have
no difficulty in perfecting these ar
rangements.
Hon. H. v. Watkins, counsellor, has
been studying insurance laws and wind
ing up the details of organization, so
that on February 1st, everything was
in ship-shape to begin business.
Secretary Sours has been organizing
his office force. and closing contracts
with the two hundred agents who have
written in, each one wanting to write
the first policy"
The big printing plant of Hederman
Bros, including the Lithographing de-
partment, has been actively grinding
out policies, stationery, blanks and
forms of every kind running into the
hundreds of thousands so that every a.
gent will be supplied with every form
needed.
G. B. Reynolds, who has charge of
the sale of stock, has his office force
organized and now active in the field.
He is having his headquarters fitted up
and put in first class condition, and on
next Thursday will have the full Two
Hundred Thousand Dollars necessary to
start business, and will within few
months round out the Two Million Dol
lars of surplus and capital authorized
in the charter.
Those who are interested in purchas-
ing stock in this Company should keep
in mind the fact that the price of this
stock is bound to increase as soon as
the Company is going concern and
for this reason there is decided ad-
vantage in acting without delay.
Through the proper cooperation on
the part Of the people Of this city and
State the Bankers and Merchants Fire
Insurance Company will be big sue
cess, and prove most profitable invest
ment for all who take stock.-Clarion-

VARDAMAN REPLIES.

Hon. Hubert D. Stephens stated last
evening when asked if he had any re-
ply to make to the open letter which
Miss Belle Kearney addressed to all
candidates to the United States Senate
that he did not arrive in town until
late and would not be prepared to give
out statement until sometime today.
Elk Senator James K. Vardaman is
sued the following letter last evening"
Jackson, Miss, Feb 2, 1922.
Miss Belle Kearney,
Jackson, Miss.
My Dear Miss Kearney:-
Your open letter of the End inst. has
been received.
In the outset will you permit me to
to congratulate you upon your righteous
determination regarding the matter of
expenses Of a senatorial candidate for
office in Mississippi. Money was never
so constituencies, unscrupulous and
greedy as now. However I hardly
think that there is very much danger
in buying an election in Mississippi, as
the white men and women of this state
are known to be unpurchasable But
it is very well to make assurance dou-
from predatory interests that might
come into the state to furnish a candi-
date money with which to make the
campaign. In case said candidate were
elected they would do the bidding of the
interests. 1 think it would be meet and
proper for the legislature to limit ex-
penditures in primary as we'll is in gen.
eral elections to such things as are alb
solutely necessary to permit one to
properly place their claims before the
people.
Personally, have no money and need
no restraint so far as 1 am concerned
but I think as a matter of general
principal the law should be enacted.
am perfectly willing that the legisla-
ture should fix the restrictions and linn
it expenditures, and heartily join you
in your request for the enactment of
such law.
1 would not have the office of Sena-
tor if it involved the improper expendi-
ture of one dollar.
In conclusion, let me say that
think your sense of honor and proprie-
ty is altogether commendable and to
your credit, and want to say further
in this connection that your sense of
fitness of things in this regard is pc
culiar to your sex and shows the wis
dom and prudence Of comforting the
privilege of suffrage upon women.
Approving most heartily the purpose
of your letter, 1 am, with great respect,
Cordially and sincerely,
(Signed) James K. Vardaman.

LIMIT FAVORED BY
MISS KEARNEY
Appeals to other Candidates to Join
in Petition on Expenses-varda-
man Replies.

Jackson, Miss, Feb. miss Belle
Kearney, candidate for the United
States Senate, has addressed the follow
ing letter to her opponents:-s
Z To Messrs. James. K. Vardaman, HUI
bert Stevens and Earl Brewer, candi-
dates and prospective candidates for the
United States Senate:-
Gentlemen This letter is to sug-
gest that the candidates and prospec-
tive candidates for the. United States
Senate unite in petition to the Mis-
sissippi Legislature now in session, to
pass a law fixing a reasonable mini
mum amount whoch candidates for that
great office may spend in the primary
campaign for the senatorial nomination
in the current and other campaigns,
with a drastic provision compelling a
sworn itemized accounting of such ex-
penditures not only by candidates them
selves but all friends of candidates.
The Newberry case, recently passed
upon by the United States Senate, has
quickened the conscience of righteous
citizens throughout the land.
I am sure you will agree with me
that the misuse of money in primary
dIlu OtlST SlSCllOUS Is d gross dSSdulI
upon the citadel of the republic, and
that pure ballot is necessary to pre-
serve the life of the nation.
I have no doubt that the patriotic
Legislature of Mississippi will pass a
bill to curb the Use of slush funds in
Mississippi elections, and I feel sure
a united appeal from the candidates
for the United States Senate will has
ten the consummation which would be
welcomed by the honest manhood and
womanhood Of our dear state.
AS this may become a vital issue in
the campaign for the United States
Senate now beginning, I am giving
copy Of this open letter to the press
which 1 am mailing to each of you. I
sincerely trust that you will cordially
agree with me that this appeal should
be made to the Legislature, and that
may have an early and affirmative re-
ply. Yours very truly,
Belle Kearney.
