MILLIKAN IS EXONERATED.
»*ot Held Responsible for the Killing
of John Brame.
The civil action Instituted by Mrs.
Annie E. Brame against Mr. James
M. Mllllkan, formerly United States
marshal of this district, was taken up
in the United States court Thursday
morning and concluded Friday after-noon,
when the Jury returned a ver-dict
In favor of the defendant. Mrs.
Brame sued Mr. Millikan for $25,000
damages for the alleged unlawful kill-ing
of her husband, John Brame, who
was shot and mortally wounded while
resisting arrest at the hands of Mr.
Millikan and a posse in this city on
the night of October 9, 1907. Brame
was charged with operating a block-ade
distillery a short distance north
of the city and had been evading the
officers for a week or more before
he was shot. The verdict, which
completely vindicates ex-Marshal Mil-likan
and his posse, was expected by
all familiar with the case and meets
with public approval.
After the jury had been empanel-ed,
Mrs. Brame was the first witness
to be examined, but her evidence was
not material to the circumstances at-tending
the shooting of her husband.
She testified that her husband left
her with four small children to sup-port
and that during their married
life of ten or twelve years Brame had
bought and paid for a small farm
worth about $1,000. Mrs. Brame
testified that her husband had form-erly
operated a government distillery.

deposition was to the effect that

Ladies Entertain in Honor, of Rev. |
Melton Clark and Wife.
The ladies of the First Presbyterian
church entertained informally Friday j
night in honor of Rev. and Mrs. Mel-ton
Clark. The reception was held
in the Smith Memorial building, and
during the evening hundreds of the
members of the congregation and
other friends called to greet the pop-ular
pastor and his wife.
The entire building had been beau-tifully
and artistically decorated by
the ladies, the main auditorium being
transformed into a place of beauty
and splendor by the deft hand of the
decorator.
The guests were received in the
Mary McAdoo room by the pastor
and his wife and the elders of the
church and their wives. The decora-tions
here were unusually pretty, the
scheme being carried out artistically
with a profusion of astors, smilax
and scarlet sage.
From the McAdoo room the guests
were ushered Into the Scales room,

serving road sentences for highway
