Sims, Xenia policeman, was ipdicted last Thursday on two counts for .mur­ der in the first degree; The'first count held him for the premeditated and malicious murder of. Sims,. The second was for murder of a policeman, in the discharge of bis duties. Lee Was Arrained 'in court Monday and entered' not guilyt pleas to each count under the indictment. Judge Gowdy has appointed Dawson Smith, Xenia police judge, to defend Lee. It is expected that the trial will be held about , the middle of next month* • The widow of Sims will bfc compen­ sated by .the state under the awards by the state industrial commission j KLAN S iEKS CONTROL XENIA COMMISSION 1 A l-:g fi^kt is looming lit Xenia on selection of members of the city j Commission, there being three places j to fill a t the November election. | Seven candidates loomed up at the closing time for entrance and had all seven remained a primary would have been necessary* Judge H. L. Smith withdrew and this put a kink in the plans for a primary, Accord­ i n g to the Judge by his withdrawal Xenia city will be saved the expense of a primary election and saved at least $1,600, quite a loss to the fel­ lows who count and tally the ballots. As the candidates now stand wa are informed that three are Klaxt members and three independent and the fight promises to be a warm one. For some months it haa beep known, that the Klan Was seeking the scalp of Chief of Police Graham, whose re ligious views are against Klan prin­ ciples. Effort was once made to have him removed but this failed. The City Commission has the ap­ pointing o f the city manager and' it is intimated that S. 0. Hale is to be given the slide once the Klan gets its three members on the city pay roll. •Tho- commission also names the police judge, or in the past haa per­ formed this function until a recent supreme court decision hit this meth­ od of naming court justices in cities' having commission form, .of ■govern ment. As Judge Dawson Smith made an open campaign last fall for Pro bate Judge on ,the anti-Klan platform, “ His" Honor”' must suffer his neck id the event of Klan success. _Boss Marshall, our Senator* the ICleagle of tihe ICounty Kommitfee, is expected, by the Klan followers to delives hfs vote for the Klan nomi­ nees. - . ■ ••*•>*«!.• p* a : schull now located IN SEATTLE, WASH.
