court thought was coming to
them.
Martin was tried a week ago
and the jury brought in a ver
dict of guilty of aggrava ed as
sault, but left the degree of pun
ishment t:> the discretion of the
court. Thursday morning Judge
Fulkerson thought a fine of $100

tin will likely assist in raising a
crop of cotton on “the farm”
this summer.
Kavanaugh was tried before a
jury Wednesday and found guilty
of assault with intent to kill and
'punishment fixed at one year,
i George Pritchard, the third one,
concluded to plead guilty to the
same charge Thursday and he

DISGRACEFUL AFFAIR
AT HOT SPRINGS.
County Jailer and Female Pris

Hot Springs, Feb. 22. — A dis
graceful escapade, in which the

securing a cab and driving with

when the proprietor was com
pelled to send an attendant back
to the jail with the pair in a
helpless state of intoxication.
The woman is also accused and
will be brought before the grand
inrv for nassincr files to Drison

jail delivery yesterday, but not
in freeing Houston Hooker, the
colored murderer of Conductor
Atwood, as reported. Hooker’s
cell was untouched.
