diet of murder against Sims Law-
horn and Floyd Lawhorn, in
connection with the killing of
S. S. Monk. ag«d 71, yesterday,
was returned by the Coroner's
jury today.
LAWHORN FAMILY HELD
ON CHARGE OF MURDER
Tifton, Ga-, June 14 Mrs. M. I.
Lawhorn, her three sons and daugh
ter were placed in Tift county jail
yesterday at noon following the kill
ing of Mr. Samuel S. Monk by Sims
Lawhorn, about 10 o’clock that morn
ing. Later, Mrs. Lawhorn her daugh
ter and younger son were released on
their own recognizance to appear be
fore the Coroner’s jury when it re
convenes at 9:30 Wednesday morn
ing. The jury was empanneled at the
scene of the murder Tuesday morning
and after viewing the body adjourned
until 3 o’clock in the afternoon. It
met at that hour and after a short
session adjourned until 9:30 Wednes
day morning in order that the
surgeons might have time to probe the
wounds and find the bullets. Floyd
Lawhorn claimed that Mr. Monk
came to the field where he and his
brother Sims were at work, saying
that it was time to settle the difficulty
that they had the previous week, drew
a pistol and fired at Sims and that Sims
returned the fire killing him instantly.
Mr. Monk was shot twice, once in the
right side and once through the tip
of the nose into the brain. The
nature of the wounds led the jury to
believe that two pistols were used,
hence the further investigation- Mr.
Monk’s family insists that he had no
pistol and that he was on his way to
another part of his farm when he
passed along the road by the field
where the Lawhorn’s were at work.
l‘he third son was in another field at
some distance from the scene of the
killing. The Lawhorns came from
Middle Georgia about three years ago.
Mr. Monk came from Taylor county
to Tifton about 20 years ago and for
a time was in the live stock business
here. Later, he has been engaged
in farming, trucking and fruit-grow
ing. The Lawhorns were his tenants.
His wife died in January. He is sur
vived by four sons and four daughters.
JURY IN CURRY CASE
UNABLE TO AGREE
Lyons, Ga„ June 14.—The jury:
trying Lee Curry for the murder of j
Burleigh Phillips which occurred j
more than two years ago "was dead-11
locked at 10 o'clock last night, andj<
Judge R. N. Hardeman ordered them)
to retire for the night and to resume J
deliberation until to-day at 9 o’clock, j
Reports indicated that the jury;>
stood eight to four, the majority i j
favoring a straight verdict of guilty i*
which would mean the death sentence j<
while the miority were in favor cfj#
recommending Curry to the mercy ot '
the court. !
A plea of insanity was entered by j
the defense which took the state com !*
pletely by surprise. Dr. J. K. Hall of!?
Lyons and his brother, Dr. J. L. Hall ■
of Alamo, testified that in their opin
ion Curry was insane, while Dr. G. T.
Gray of Lyons told the jury he be
lieved Curry was of unsound min.! but
that he was of the opinion that he
knew right from wrong.
The evidence introduced was prac
tically the same as that produced at
the two former trials of Curry which
resulted in straight verdicts of tuiltyj
and the imposing of the death sen- j
tence. New trials were granted in •
each case. j
Walter Gray, solicitor general, who'
made the opening argument for ihe <*
prosecution and Attorney O. W. Lank
ford who concluded for the state made .
| pleas for a straight verdict of guilty Ijj
| and asked that the Mosaic law of '
I eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth,
j he applied to the defendant.
| At times Curry showed signs of
| emotion but during the greater part
of the trial which started Monday
morning, he had shown little interest
in the proceedings and when the
prosecuting attorneys were pleading
for his life, he was immovable.
Attorney E. J. Giles who defended
Curry asked that the jury find his
client insane and commit him to the
asylum for the remainder of his life.
There was another large crowd on
hand yesterday but the interest mani
fested has not been as great as at the
previous trials.

DENMARK PLANS NEW
LAWS REGULATING LIFE
INSURANCE COMPANIES
Copenhagen. May 20. - (By
Mail) The Danish Home Secre
tary is about to introduce a bill in the
Rigsdag to the effect that foreign
life insurance companies in future
are to invest the premium reserve of
their Danish policies in Danish cur
rency.
The existing laws require only a
cash deposit of 100,000 kroner
(about $20,000) to transact life
insurance business in Denmark but
there is some apprehension that the
present exchange position may so
develop that those foreign com
panies, having invested heavily in
other currencies.- may be unable to
rhoulder their responsibilities toward
their Danish policyholders. The
Home Secretary thinks it a wise
course to adopt to stipulate that
foreign companies always have
necessary kroner enabling them to
meet the claims of their Danish
policy holders immediately.
It is expected that those foreign
life insurance companies already
represented here, if they do not wish
immediately to arrange for the
necessary deposits, will get ten years
time to bring their deposits up to
the amount of their premium rest
for Danish policies.
If any of the companies are un
willing to meet the requirements of
the new law, the Danish life
surance council can withdraw their
permit to write new insurance here,

ALLEGED TEACHING OF
HERESY IS ATTACKED
Indianapolis, June 14.—Attacks on
the alleged teachings of heresy by
Henry Clay Vedder of the Grosser
Theolgica! Seminary. Philadelphia.
Pa., were made at the meeting of the
fundamentalist group of the North
ern Baptist Church yesterday by Dr.
Frank Goodehild of Brooklyn N. Y.
“An immunity bath from sin,” a
sentence which Dr. Vedder is charged
with having frequently spoken and
written, was the basis of the attack
by Dr. Goodehild. “Had I been the
head of the seminary, I would not
have waited foi* some one from the
outside to make up a row, I would
have started one from the inside,” Dr.
Goodehild asserted. Bringing of the
charge of teaching heresy at the semi-
qV.ry before the convention to-day
would be attempted it was said.
William Jennings Bryan, an elder
in the Presbyterian church, addressing
the convention last night said that
"more than one-half of the prominent
scientists of the United States teaching
biology, psychology, geology and his
tory have discarded belief in a per
sonal God and personal immortality.
This is what the doctrine of evolution
is doing for our children.”
“Darwinism leads to a denial of!
God. The law or the principle so '•
carefully worked out by Darwin is
being given less weight with scien-'
tists.” j

VIRGINIA REPUBLICAN
GETS CONGRESSIONAL SEAT IIarrl8 ° n . Of the seventh Virginia dls-
trict not entitled to the seat, and that
small item but
very important:
The cost of ice in the average family is a very
small fraction of the cost <>t‘ living. An investiga
tion made by l)r. Wm. K. Marsh, of the Bureau of
Municipal Research, Yew York City, showed that
ice is only 74/10,000 .>f the cost of living in an av
erage family.
Without ice, food bill> would double in warm
weather, the spoilage would he so great; and health
would be endangered.
Many people waste both food and ice by using too
little of the latter. Their refrigerator may he too
small, or they may let the ice get too low. That is
false economy. A full ire chamber in a good sized
iced box will save von rnonev.
