Arthur Dee Newman, 30, of Drennon Springs, is being held in the Henry County jail on a charge of murder in connection with the shooting of his father, Willie Newman. He was brought from the jail Monday to the office of County Judge F. C. Vance and asked for an examining trial. The examining trial, however, has been postponed so as to permit the defendant to consult with an attorney.
According to the defendant, who surrendered to County Attorney James Thomas, he shot his father three times with a pistol when his father was in the act of whipping his mother. Death for the elder Newman was reported to have been instantaneous.
According to Judge Vance, an effort was made Monday afternoon to secure the release of the defendant by bail but the actual offer was not made and he did not set any amount. Should he be requested, Judge Vance said he would set bail for Newman.

Rev. Clarence J. Nugent, a widely known and much beloved minister of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, died in Louisville, Tuesday October 5, 1915, The news of his demise was a great shock to his many friends at New Castle where he recently served the church for a period of four years. Having known Rev. Mr. Nugent well for 25 years, we are prepared to say that he was one of the best men we have ever known. Besides being a scholarly gentleman, he was very rich in spirituality. While true to his convictions, he was tolerant of those who differed from him, and exceedingly kind and gentle. During the Civil War he was a brave soldier for the Confederacy but he fought many a battle for principle after the war, and before, that required truer courage that was necessary in the most sanguinary battles in which he ever engaged in actual warfare. It will be remembered that the wife of Rev. Mr. Nugent died in New Castle four years ago. The Courier-Journal contained the following notice:
Death came to the Rev. Dr. Clarence J. Nugent, retired minister of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, at the Deaconess Hospital. He had been ill of nephritis a month and last week was removed to the hospital from the home of his son, C. J. Nugent, divisional Sunday School Secretary for the Methodist Episcopal Church.
He was 72 years old and a native of Alabama. He was a member of the Mississippi Conference before coming to Kentucky, and had held charges at Brooksville, Carrollton, LaGrange and other Kentucky towns. His last service was with a church near Harrods Creek. He resigned from the Kentucky Conference at its session last month. His son and two grandchildren survive. The body will be taken to his old home, at LaGrange, at 1:45 p.m. this afternoon for burial.
