LEE KING GETS
PEN SENTENCE, j
Criminal Whom Gov. Davis Once i
Refused to Give Up and Al
lowed to Escape Con
victed in Missouri.
_
Judge Mitchell and Troy Pace
came in on Wednesday’s train
from Ozark, Mo., says the Boone
Banner, where they had been in
the defense of Lee King.
It will be remembered that
King was charged with murder
in the first degree, growing out
of the killing of Henry Barch
man in Taney county, Missouri,
last December. The case wa^
argued Saturday night and went
to the jury just before midnight
and a verdict of guilty of murder
in the second degree rendered on:
Monday morning, and punish-■
ment fixed at ten years in the
penitentiary.
His attorneys took an appeal
to the supreme court and b^nd
fixed at $2,000 pending appeal.;
King promptly furnished bond
and returned home with his at
torneys. They feel that under j
1 the circumstances they won a
i victory and one that will ulti-1
mately lead to a final acquittal.'
CROOKS FROM FAIR.
! i
! Little Rock, Dec. 14. --A num-7
ber of the crooks and vagrants ;
! who plied their, vocations at St. ;
i Louis during the world’s fair;
headed south when the exposi-;
; tion closed. Most of them who
| stopped in Little Rock were given !
hours to leave the city, and in j
most instances the order was
I obeyed. Some, however, eluded
j the officers, among whom were
the four men recently sentenced !
in police court for having no vis
ible means of support other than
the returns from a small boy’s
begging on the streets.
The leader of the four, A. W.
Weaver, escaped from the guards
at Rob Roy While being taken to
Gracy’s farm in Jefferson county
and has not been captured. Most
of the men who have been given
I “move on” orders were dressed
well, but invariably had their
coat co lars turned up, which
; when turned down revealed ex
tremely soiled linen, showing
that they had arrived by fast
freight or on the Bumper Lim
ited. _
