SPIVEY HEARING
OPENED THURSDAY
At Brinkley And Public Inter
est Is Intense In Develop
ments of Sensational Case.
I
_
Brinkley, June 11.—On the eve
of the preliminary hearing of
Robert Spivey and his mother,
Mrs. Lillian Lynch, charged with
j the first-degree murder of
'Robert C. Lynch, Mrs. Lynch's
j husband, from whom she was
estranged, on the night of May
9, near Saulsburg, interest in
the trial here is keen.
| This general interest was whet
ted tongiht by the arrival in
Brinkley of Mrs. Lynch, who,
since her arrest June 4, has been
held in the Monroe county jail
at Clarendon. Spivey will be
brought here early tomorrow
morning.
The preliminary hearing will
begin at 10 o'clock tomorrow
j morning before Justice of the
| Peace R. M. Henderson. No less
than 90 witnesses have been
summoned, and many arrived
here tonight to be in readiness
to testify tomorrow if necessa
ry. Sixty of these witnesses re
side in Woodruff county, where
Lynch formerly lived.
No trial in recent years has
been awaited with such general
interest as has the preliminary
hearing of young Spivey and
Mrs. Lynch, because of the
prominence of all connected with
the death of Robert C. Lynch,
himself a planter known in all
parts of the state.
Rumors that surprises will be
sprung by the prosecution in the
nature of an entirely different
version of the killing than the
< ne already known to the com
munity. has spread an atmos
phere of expectancy in Brinkley.
J. B. Heed, prosecuting attor
ney of Monroe county, will pros
ecute the case for the state, as
sisted by Otis T. Bogle, one of
Brinkley's best known attor
ney.-. who has been employed by
relatives of Lynch. The defend
ants have an array of legal tal
ent to guard their interests.
Robert C. Lynch was killed on
the night of May 9. Spivey and
his mother were exonerated ol
the murder by a coroner’s jury,
when they testified that Lynch
had been shot to death while
climbing through a window of
the Spivey home, armed with a
revolver and dirk.
Yet. a short time after having
been freed of blame by a coro
ner’s jury Spivey and Mrs.
Lynch were arrested June 4,
charged with first degree mur
der. Since that time both have
been confined in the county jail
at Clarendon.
Sii Reward.

year-old light bay filly with star
in forehead and one four-year
old dark bay horse branded “W.
T.” on left shoulder, estrayed

Letter to Mr. P. S. White, New
port. Arkansas.
Dear Sir: The Trustees of
the FairGround, Cobleskill.N.Y.
! were glad to pay 15 cents a gal
lon more for Devoe: and nc
wonder. Two other paint agents
said it would take 150 gallons ot
their paint to cover the build
ings.
Our agent put it at 125 or less.
It took 115.
We saved them 55 gallons of
paint and painting (worth $4 to
$5 a gallon, as the painting costs
two or three times as much as
! the paint) less 15 cents a gallon
on 11 gallons. Say $140.
That’s how to count the cost
of paint. The cost of putting it
on is $5 or $4 a gallon. You see
what that means. Goby Devoe.
Yours truly,
F. W. Devoe & Co.,
New York and Chicago.

The fire department was call
ed out about 10:30 Thursday
morning from an alarm sent in
from the home of. Walter May

promptly but were unable to do
any more than save adjoining

Mrs. Hettie Wilmans and was
valued at $1200, insured for
$925. Mr. and Mrs. Mayberry

whether insurance was carried
on the furnishings or not.

at 11:30, the call coming from
the home of Sam Gist, which is
also on Vine street. The fire
caught from the kitchen flue,
but very little damage was done
except from the water.
