MOTHER AND
SON RECEIVE
Five Year Penitentiary Sentence
For Murder of Robert Lynch
At Cotton Plant.
•Clarendon, May 14.— Mrs.
Lily Lynch and her son, Robert
Spivey, were today found guilty
of second degree murder for
the killing of Mrs. Lynch’s hus
band, Robert Lynch, of Cotton
Plant, Woodruff county. The
jury recommended a sentence of
five years each in the penitenti
ary.
The verdict was announced at
10:30 o’clock this morning.
The attorneys finished their
arguments at 9| o’clock last night
and the case immediately was
given to the jury. Shortly af
terward the jurors sent a re
quest that a portion of the ev
idence be re-read to them. The
request was granted, the jurors
1 UVU MMVJV ---
and listened attentively while |
the court stenographer read
from the record the testimony
of Marvin Keel.
Keel testified that he was at
Mrs. Lynch’s home the night be
fore the murder and that Lynch
was there at the time. Then
Mr- and Mrs. Lynch were living
apart. Lynch was living in
Cotton Plant, while Mrs. Lynch
and her son were living at Sauls
burg, several miles from Cotton
Plant. Husband and wife had
fallen out over property mat
ters and ‘friends supposed that
they were completely estranged.
Mrs. Lynch had filed suit for
divorce.
Keel testified that Lynch em
j braced his wife and that he
heard her scream and command
him to stop.
The jurors made no comment
and returned to their room and
debated until late into the
night. This morning the delib
srations were resumed.
As Mrs- Lynch owns considera
ble property, it is taken for
granted that the case will be ap
pealed to the Arkansas Supreme
Court.
Robert Lynch, wealthy plant
ir and fearless fighter, the hero
of at least two pistol duels, was
shot and killed as he entered the
home of his estranged wife at
Saulsburg on the night of May
9, 1913. Robert Spivey admit
ted that he shot and killed his
step father, but declared that
the killing was in self-defense.
He declared that Mrs. Lynch
was in terror of her husband,
whom she feared would kill her
and that he was convinced that
Lynch had invaded his home
that night with murder in his
heart.
The theory of the prosecution
was that Mrs. Lynch and her
son, fearing that they would lose
large property interests if Mrs.
Lynch secured the divorce for
1 • i. _1_J
WI11CI1 one iiau ---
to kill Lynch.
It was said that Lynch was
madly infatuated with his wife
whom he married 20 days after
he had been divorced by his
first wife to whom he had been
married for more than twenty
years. It was said that he sus
pected that he was the victim of
i plot on the part of his wife
and her son, but that he risked
everything for the sake of the
woman he loved.
LYNCH’S DIARY FOUND.
The prosecution struck a tell
ing blowT when it introduced
Lynch’s diary, found among his
possessions after his death. Th<
diary told of his secret visits
under cover of darkness to th(
home of his wife, who would no1
allow him to come during th<
day, for fear that someone migh
see him and thus endanger he:
divorce prospects.
In this diary Lynch wrote o
his suspicions that there exist
td a conspiracy to bring about
his,death, but he wrote that he
would risk all for the sake of
the woman who exerted a fatal
fascination over him.
To Attack Signatures.
Special to Indepnedent.
Little Rock, May 15.—Addi
tional signatures to the publici
ty bill were Thursday afternoon
filed with Secretary of State
Hodges, and representatives of
the coal operators began copy
ing the signatures on the state
/mining board bill- This bill will
no doubt be attacked in the
courts, for it is claimed that
there are many signatures which
appear with names in the same
handwriting, and nothing to in
dicate the work was done by the
authority of those whose names
were signed. The operators ex
pect to make a search for every
signer, and if illegal signatures
are found, to attack the petition,
and at the same time push crim
inal proceedings against those
who circulated the petitions.
There are a half dozen stenog
raphers at work on the mining
board petition.
It is probable that the bank
ers of the state will take a look
at the bank guaranty bill, and
endeavor to find enough signa
tures that should not be there
to prevent the initiation of the
bill.
