FOR SAFE KEEPING.-- Sheriff Frank Elliott and Deputy Charles M. Randall, of Laurel, placed three prisoners in jail here Sunday for safe keeping. William Stott, who was here before, was one of them. The court of appeals, it will be remembered, gave him a new trial for the murder of John Collins, but his case was not reached at the term just ended. The others are Robert Jackson, who got a life sentence for killing Ed Chestnut, and Alex Tuttle, who was tried for the killing of Speed Williams, but who had a hung jury. Jackson was given a new trial by Judge Clark, because it was afterward ascertained that one of the jurors in the case was a relative of the man he killed. All of the prisoners are white men. [6]---
