People's Party February 2, 1894
The Supreme court, on the 8th instance, confirmed the judgment of Clay circuit 
court which was rendered at the last August term against Archie I. Holmes for 
the killing of Henry Mann. This is a case of considerable notoriety in our 
county, and Holmes has many friends, notwithstanding the judgment of the courts. 
The scenes at the jail last Sunday when Archie's people came to bid him farewell 
were serious touching. His mother is heart-broken and wept most bitterly as did 
all his relatives. The wife, who is unable to visit her husband, is almost 
overcome with grief. Archie will ever have a kind word for Sheriff Munroe and 
Jailor Riddle for their. goo treatment during his confinement in jail. He will 
leave for the penitentiary in a few days, and this should be a lesson to all. 
This matter of killing our fellowman, and how important that we should always 
think Mr. Holmes, under the circumstances, did, it seems, as most any man would 
have done, but the law forbids, and God's truths proclaims against crime.
