Sam'l L. Nuchols, Chairman, ajainst Mm nnl sentenced to die. be now stands The Class of '99 a most de- I.nmediately after the motion for lightful and elegant party at the home a new hearing had been overruled the attorneys for the defendants notified the judge that they would appeal to the supreme court of the 8tnte.

The fight made by the attorneys for the defenfie in arguing for a new trial was made against jurors, no now evidence being Introduced or claimed. The charge was that Juror Huskey was related to the deceased, Laura Whaley, and Jurors S. J. Fowler and John II. were charged with expressing opinions bvforo they wete taken on the The state introduced no testimony, but tlio witnesses of lie defense were1 closely by the attorney general and it was found Impossible to get positive statements from them.

The hearing of the motion occupied; almost f.nir hours and alter summing up the evidence of the witnesses intro duced by Stlics a new trial was promptly refused. The judge ordered the prisoners removed to the Knoxviile jail. The fact that botli appealed to tho su preme court, delays any execution until late next fall when the supremo court of the state convenes in this city. As far an can be learned Attorney General Mynatt has won a distinct-Ion in the Whaley case that no attorney has ever had In the history of criminal law.

NEW TRIAL REFUSED. Both Wynne andTlDton Sentenced to be Hanged. 8evierviIIe, April 11. Pleas Wynne land Catlett Tipton were refused a new trial thh afternoon and Judge Nelson pronounced the sentence of death on them, fixing the date as Friday, June 3rd, 1898. The men were evidently prepared for the worst as both heard the sentenced pronounced without a tremor.

Tipton gave in later, however, when he was removed to the jail. Wynne now has two sentences of death hanging over him, one for Now Shelters the McGhees-Father and Son. John B. McGhee and son, Joseph McGhee, who killed Henry Jand Ernest Howard and James Murr, near McGhee's station on the A.K. railroad last Saturday are now confined in the Knox county II.

They surrendered to Sheriff Sloan, of Monroe county. Tho sheriff wus accompanied by Deputies Jesse James, Barr, Cun ningham and Huffstetler, also Bar rett McCroskey, who is one of the attorneys for tho defendants. The story in brief as told by Jos eph McGhee and learned from Howard's friends, Is substahtially as follows: The cause of tho shooting as mentioned in Sunday's Jour nal was correct to the letter. Sat urday morninff, Mrs. Howard, the mother of the boys, sent Ernest and Henry to the homo of their brother, Tom Howard, the son-in-law of Mr.

McGhee, to see whether or not he had succeeded in establishing peace with Mr. McGhee about the reports concerning Miss McGhee and Ern-esi Howard. Tom Howard was on good terms witli "his father-in-law and he succeeded in smoothing over the matter. lie so informed his two brothersSwhen they arrived at his house. Both Henry and Ernest and Mr.

Murr had been drinking during the morning and when they arrived at their brother's house were "feeling their This caused Tom to advise them to re turn home without passing the Mc Ghee residence, but they declared that the road was as much their property as the McGhees and that they intended to pass the house on their return. Both Ernest and Henry carried guns, one a shot gun and the other a Winchester, and Murr was armed with a pistol. As they passed the McGhee residence Joseph was standing in the barn yard and one of the Howard boys called him to come down the. road. Young McGhee Jasked them if It was for peace or for war and he replied that it waster peace.

Young McGhee then replied that he would come If it was for peace, nl-they were three to one. He then went down throngh the front yard and a conversation was commenced which soon ended in the shooting. Tom Howard heard the shooting and came running from his residence a short distance away. He saw his brother fall and turned to retract his steps presumably to get a gun and at that time he was struck by a bullet from the Win chester In the hand of Joseph Mc Ghee. The clothing of both the McGhees was pierced with bullets, but neither received a scratch.

Joseph McGhee, who killed two of the three victims and wounded the third, Is said to be the best shot with a Winchester rifle In Monroe county. For years past he has been considered one the crack marks men of the county and at matches of Mr. David Jones on Wednesday evening 6. Never before in our history did a reception pass off so har moniously and enjoyably. Elaborute preparations had been made for games and music on this occasion.

Mis Phy Smythe's recitations were greatly enjoyed by all. Every member of the Junior Class was full ol glee and merriment, and each one contribuled toward making this occasion one of great pleasure. Every one who has had the privilege of being entertained in the spacious and elegantly furnished parlois of Mr. Jones, can realize something of the superb reception which was enjoyed. Especially was the ice cream, "Junior cakes" and candy in class colors much appreciated and enjoyed, When the clock struck ten it seemed too bad to break such a merry company of Juniors, but we seperated hoping soon to enjoy another evening just as pleasant.
