DAVIS GUILTY OF
lILUKII HALL
SENTENCED TO LIFE IMPRISON
MENT-WILL ASK FOR NEW
TRIAL AT ONCE.
Soperton, Ga., Feb. 2. —After be
ing out more than sixteen hours, a
jury in the Treutlen superior court
today returned a verdict of guilty in
the case of Dan Davis, farmer, who
was charged with murder in the death
of William Hall, one of his former
tenants.
Judge Graham, on recommenda
tion of the jury for mercy, sentenced
Davis to life impi isotwnent. Attor
neys for Davis are expected to file a
motion for a new* trial at once.
The case was given to the jury at
7 o’clock last night. The court an
nounced that it would not adjourn
before 10 o’clock and in case that no
verdict was reached before that time
the jury would ha> e to he locked up
for the night.
Prior to Judge Eschol Graham’s
charge to the jury, Solicitor General
P>oyer and Reuben Arnold of Atlanta
for the state, and A. S. Bradley of
Swainsboro and George B. Davis of
Dublin argued the case for 10 hours.
The opening arguments were begun
Monday afternoon.
Davis A Prosperous Farmer.
Davis, a prosperous farmer and in
fluential citizen of TrfeUtleii, w'ent on
trial last Wednesday on an indict
ment charging murder on one count
and E. C. Coleman. Wiley J. Smith
and Roy Durden were also indicted
on a charge of murder. They are now
confined in the jail here.
The contention of the state is that
Hall, gi white cropner and formerly
in the employ of Davis, was given
poison which brought about his death
on the night of Sept. 13 last. The
motive for the ciime, it is alleged,
was for the purpose of collecting in
surance on Hall’s life, amounting to
$15,000, and part of which had been
made payable to Davis.
The contention of the defense was
that Hall met death by drowning by
being panned under an automobile
in a small creek after it had crashed
through a bridge spanning the water.
[The car was the property of Coleman
I and was being driven by its owner.
The other occupants of the machine
escaped serious injuries. The cause
of the accident was due to a defec
tive steering wheel, it is claimed.
TRYING TWO HOOKS
ON MURDER CHARGE.
’
Soperton, Ga., Feb. 2.—Dennis and
| Boss Hooks, father and son, »vell
known throughout this section, went
on trial in the Treutlen superior
court, Judge Escnol Graham presid
ing, this morning on the charge of
murdering T. K. Lumley, Sr., and
T. K. Lumley, Jr., at a dipping vat
I near this place las> August.
The crime with which the two
Hooks men are charged startled this
land neighboring counties. It is al
leged that the two Hooks, after hav
! ing mortally cut young Lumley, sat
j upon the father, aged 75 years and
i considered feeble, and hacked him
with knives so badly that he died 12
hours later. Young Lumlev’s death
occurred a short while before that of
his father.
According to eye witnesses, the
Hooks and the I.umleys met at the
vat and the former two called the
younger Lumley aside and a quar
rel over some cattle resulted. At the
time the elder Hooks, it is alleged,
was armed with a heavy stick, and
while the quarrel was in progress he
hit young Lumley over the head with
the stick and then he (Lumley) was
attacked by the younger JJooks with
a knife.
T. K. Lumley. Sr., went to the as
sistance of his son...and he was also
struck over the head by the elder
Hooks, it is alleged, and while lying
on the ground was stabbed so se
verely that his wounds proved fatal
twelve hours later.
