The Miller County Liberal
A‘O. IODO
Being Tried.
Asjwe go to press the trial of R.
E. Fudge for the killing of Chief
Police J. W.-Weott, in December,
is progressing.
Intense interest is Centered in
the trial.
The following gentlemen were
selected as j trots: R L. Davis,
W. -I. Bush, B. J. West, J. . Wade.
W. L. Everette, J. W. Lovering,
Sam Williams. D. B. Davis, T. W.
Williams, Drew Davis Jr.. Charles
Williams, J. A. Kooks.
Judge W. I Geer of this city
and Cols. Glesstier and Collins of
Blakely, the latter a brother-in-law
of the defendant, are representing
R. E. Fudge.
Solicitor B T. Cast -How and
Col. B. B. Bush, of this city, are
the prosecuting attorneys.
Mr W. J. Bush, the second juror
chosen, <s not related to the de
fendant by marriage, as some were
inclined to believe.
Mr. Bush' youngest brother, Mr
Isaac Bush, and Miss Irene Fudge,
a sister of the defendant, wen
martied some years ago. She, ot
course, is a sister in law of Mr. W
J Busti.
The court house is tilled witl
spectators, and scores of ladies ar<
amoug them. Standing i ou, can
hardly be obtained.
LATER: Just before going ti
press the jury rendered a verdict
finding the defendant guilty ol
murder with a recommendation ti
the mercy of the court.
The evidence showed that tin
tragedy was enacted while the de
fendant was intoxicated: and tin
gnat burdens of Buffeting was
chiefly caused by the men furnish
ing the occurred liquor.
« Ed Fudge when sober has tin
respect end esteem of his f'elluv
man. The berts of Colquittans
have never been more deeply
grieved.
Sympathy flows for the widov
•nd her five children: and the ch
feudant, h’s parents, sisters, broth
ers and other relatives claim tin
sincere sympathy of hundreds win
realize the agony which the verdict
carries to them.
Those who heard the evideno
say the jurors rendered a fail
Verdict.
