Commission that $4,000 had

ment Of that part of Route 80 be
tween Haysi and the Buchanan
County line, distance of more
than twelve miles. The road will
be widened and some of h e
smaller curves eliminated.
No action was taken to extend
the primary highway from Haysi
over secondary Route 610, to the
Kentucky line on Grassy. The
improvements to be made will
contribute indirectly to this OBJ
jective. The lettering of the road
will naturally increase the vol

Calvin Moore Released
Under $4,000 Bond


last Saturday sent the case of
Calvin Moore, charged with the
Staying of Kenneth Mullins, on
to the grand jury. He then set
bond of $4,000. A number Of
Moore's friends and relatives
made it up, and he was released.
A crowd of about 200 listened to
the hearing in the courtroom. APP
pearing as attorney for the de-
PENDANT was S. H. Sutherland,
while Fred B. Greear was in
charge of the prosecution.
The attorney for the Common
wealth presented only enough
testimony to have the case refer
red to the garnd jury. Lee Null
ms, Mrs. Estelle Mullins, mother
of Kenneth; and Curtis Ramey
testified to the general outlines
of the tragedy. In surprise move
the defense called Crit Mullins,
father of the slain youth; Cowan
Stanly, Johnnie Slrss, and Sher-
if Truman Fleming. Attorney
Sutherland repeatedly sought to
etablish the posisions of Ballard
Mullins, uncle of Kenneth; and
Mrs. Calvin Moore at the time
Of the killing.

lished that Crit Mullins and Ell
mer Moore, son of Calvin Moore.
were in fight, that Ballard Null
Inns and Kenneth Mullins came to
ward the scene of action, that
Calvin Moore warned them
against interference, and that he
fired the fatal shot
Lee Mullins stated that he saw
Elmer Moore looking for Crit4
Mullins about ten minutes before
the fight started. Mrs. Estelle Mul
Inns testified that Elmer accosted
Crit and made an attack on him.
Then, she said, she appealed to
Calvin Moore to stop the fight
but he said, "Let them fight it
out" AS Kenneth approached,
Mrs. Mullins said, he picked up
a rock but threw it down at her
command. Mrs. Mullins stated
that there had been no previous
il1-feeling between the families.
Curtis Ramey confirmed the
statements of Mrs. Mullins with
reference to Kenneth. He said
that he saw Calvin Moore level
his pistol and fire. This witness
said that Kenneth had come to a
full halt before the shot was fir
ed.
Ballard Mullins swore that Cal
vim Moore twirled his pistol in
the air and called out, Nobody
had better come up here
Crit Mullins said that Elmer
Moore accused him of telling the
men at the Clinchco mine that
he (Moore) had been run our
of Kentucky"
Sheriff Fleming stated that he
was on his way to investigate the
tragedy when he met Calvin
Moore on his way to deliver hin,
self to the jail.
All witnesses seemed particul-
arly careful as to their evidence,
which was recorded by stenog-
rapher. Moore seemed depressed
and listened, along with his wife,
most attentively.

OF
All
Thingsi
By E. R. B.

History tells us why this is the
Fighting Ninth" District. Dur
ing the last fifty years Democrats
have elected their candidats to
Congress fourteen times. During
the same period, Republican cam
didates have won in eleven races.
Present political set-ups within
the district bear out the name.
The county offices between New
River and Cumberland Gap are
almost equally divided between
the Democrats and Republicans.
1t is one of the paradoxes of
history that a district, now such
hot and everlasting battle-ground,
should once have been almost
solidly Democratic. If you should
dig into the records, you would
find that prior TO 1894 the Demo-
Gratis had things pretty much
their own way in the Great
Southwest" In that year, Gener-
al James A Walker, a Repubn-
can, with Democratic and Re-
adjuster background, upset Judge
Morrison and took the congress
sional seat. In 1896, Walker de-
feated Sam Williams. In 1898,
William F. Rhea, as slick manip
ulator as ever went on the poll
teal track, unseated Walner. He
turned the General back again IN
1900.
Then came the Slemps. Colonel
Campbell Slemp defeated Judge
Rhea by thin majority in 1902.
He beat Joe Wysor, the great Pu-
laski orator and father of Frank
Wysor, in 1904. Robert P. Bruce,
the brilliant criminal lawyer of
Wise, carried the fight to Colonel
Slemp in 1905; but by this time
the Slemp machine" was really
rolling. Colonel Slemp died in the
late autumn of 1907, and his son,
Bascorn, handily won over Colon
Ell Dave Bailey of Bristol, an in
dependent Republican.
M
j. Cloyd Byars, Bristol attor-
ney, made a vain assault against
the Slemp machine" in 1908. In
March, 1910, the Democrats nom
mated Henry c. Stuart, Russell
County cattle king and reputed
millionaire. That was a fight that
old-timers look back to. There Is
story that Slemp was saved on
ly when John c. Mayo, Kentucky
industrialist, loaned him one
hundred thousand dollars in the
waning days of the campaign.
Votes sold at fifty dollars head
in Clintwood, and one good old
man could tell you how they
bought voters as If they were
cattle or sheep at Roaring Fork.
William Mullins could tell you of
votes trading and guns flashing
at Lick Fork ON that election day.
Slemp carried the Ninth District
by a majority of 217.
General Rufus A. Ayers in
1912, R Tate IRVINE in 1914, E.
Lee Trinkle in 1915; Slemp bowl
ed them over. In the war year Of
1918, he was not opposed. Boiling
Handy, young Bristol lawyer, was
the Democratic candidate in 1920.
The Slemp machine" had taken
on some rust and was creaking In
a lot of parts by this time, but
1920 was simply a Republican
year.
