ADMITS KILLING JIDGE Mysterious Death of Lawler (inured by Overtoil. Huntsvllle, Nov. 24.? The mysterious death of Probate Judge W. T. Law ler that hnl to the suicide of two prom inent men and stirred Madison County until it iMK'aine necessary to station National Oijardsmen here, was cleared up today when David H. Overton, un successful candidate for the Probate Judgeship, admitted the killing. Overton, who fled nefore t lie liody was found weighted down in a river slougn near here, June 17 last, and later was arrested in Tennessee and brought back for trial, described on the witness stand today occurrences leadiug to the act, which h? assorted was done in self-defense. The former clerk of Madison County StTfT^KT thai" 7ie and Judge liVwTer on June 14, took a buggy ride. They be gnn a discussion of their political' dif ferences by which they hoped to "^et together" and prevent their mutual "destruction" by a special grand jury which was investigating )>olltlcal af fairs in the county. Overton said It was Lawler who feared they might be ''destroyed" and who siiggested the .ride. At the Whltesburg bridge near where the. body was found, Overton said. Judge Lawler became angry and attacked him, and he shot to save his own life. He added that the tight was precipitated by his refusal to visit members of .the *i>ecial grand jury that night and urge them to delay th^lr_ report. > Overton denied he bad anything to do with the disposition of Lawler's body, or with thy alleged, naintintr out of blood s|k>! s on the Whltesburg bridge. ~ TTe informed SherlfT Hobert Phillips of the tragedy the night It occurred, he said, and when he saw Phillips the next day the sheriff told him the l>ody "had not been brought to town and that no one could find it." ' Sheriff Phillips killed himself a week after the discovery of Lawler's body, leaving word he could not bear the suspicion he believed was directed at him. The day before Shelby Pleas ants, a_ Huntsvllle attorney^ commit ted suicide. Pleasants, one of the few Republicans in* the county, had taken little part in politics and no suspi cion attached to hlnK ? Overton Pound Guilty. " Huntsvllle, Nov. 28.? "OUllty of murder in the first degree," with a recommendation that the death ]>en alty, hanging, be imposed, was -the verdict of a jury today in the case of David B. Overton, accused of the mur der near here last June of Probate Judge J. T. Lawler, his political op ponent. " The verdict was returned at 11.30 o'clock; this morning, after the jury had deliberated since 0:30 p. m. yes terday. The execution was net for January 12 by Judge IV. M. Miller, nut susr?ension was ordered when counsel for tlie defense filed a Inotion for a new trial. Date for a hearing on the motion has not been fixed. When the verdict was read Overton remained calm; but a perceptible .ex pression of surprise came over hL? face. . He ifa asked by Judge Miller if ho had Anything to say. He was silent perhaps ten seconds. "Nothing, Judge," he replied, "ex cept that I am not gHilty." The words came from his lips in al most a whisper. Judge MUler. then pronounced the sentence, counsel for the deftnse filed their motions for a new trial and Overton was taken to the Madison County Jail, where he will remain until his case finally is disposed of. y Negro Day at Bishoprille.
