Before court convened Monday

consideration during the session, and
the whole county was alive with an
ticipssion of the hesettlement OF a ques-

which, as it presented itself to the
public mind, was simply this: Wheth

made to arresG me. The men who
followed me were revenue officers;
they followed me about a half mile.
Joe Gibson, colored, sworn, says:
/ live with Mr.. Joseph Chapman,
abous eighteen miles northwest OF
Pickens. On the morning of Goth
instant, while I was in the house,
abont twenty men, riding and armed,
rode up to the house, dismounted and
entered the yard. When they en-
tered was standing in the door of
the house. They asked me where
was Joe Chapman. I said, gone to
Wslhalla, and one of the men said to
me, "you are q id liar" and
punched me in the 81 de with his gun;
another then jerked me ont of the
house, and asked me a second time
where is Jos ChaPman9 told them
he had gone to Walhalla, or at least
had told me 80. They said you are
a id liar, and one of the men
struck me over the head with his
gun and knocked me down. After
getting up they struck me several
times over the head with their fists.
They then made me 90 te an old
house In the woods which had been
used once as still house, but no
still was there now. Tie revenue
officers placed me in the sheck stand"
and poured water on my head for
some time to make me tell where the

put me in headforemost, and kept me
there for some time. When taken

the water was running from my
mouth and nose. After recovering,
they made me dig hole inside of
the house, about waist deep, saying
that whiskey was buried there
When the hole was dug, one man
kicked me in it, and another jumped
on me and choked me. They then
carried me outside of the house, and
threw me in the branch and stamped
on me. When they were putting

me, and, resisting, threw one Of
them off, when another said: "G-d

cross my field, and heard them shoot
twice; then they threw down my
fence and passed upon the ridge and
shot twice more. They were shoot

shot he ran and escaped. They then
returned to my house, and some one
asked Gary what he was shooting at,
and he replied, at Redmond. / told

old) Gary then pushed open my
house door and searched the house
again. No authority for so doing

What tho Prisoners Have to Say

What the Prisoners Have to Say
Some Interesting InsInuatisns.
National Associated Press to the STAR.
NEW YORK, Jan. 2S-A special from
New OrIeans to the Herald says: The
excitement in the Returning Board case
has somewhat abated. Your CORE
spondept yesterday had long inter
view with Anderson, Kelner and
Cassanave, in prison. Tney are still
reticent.
Anderson stated, however, the reason
they had fled to the Custom House was
to gain time, that on the present jury in
the Criminal Court there is not single
oolored man, that the jury was drawn to
convict them, and their only object was
to gain time..
He intiinated pretty bitterly tnat the
2 etfect Of their treatment by the Admin.
| istration might lead to something unex-
peoted, though he refused to say what.
In a conversation with the prison
otti :ials the trio expressed themselves
to the II 'ct That il they are deserted BY
\ those they placed in power they Will
make disclosures exceedingly unpleas-
ant.
| The two colored men are very down.
hearted. They say there Is no hope tor
tnem WIN packed jury ana every one
arrayed against them. Anderson,
though dispirlted at times, has grown
| fierce and bitter. Search has been made
everywhere to-day tor Wells without
effect.
1t lie believed he started for Washing
ton on Saturday, and the Custom House
resistance Was tor tue purpose OF giving
him Tine to reach Washington. That
when there he will 60 to the President
and urge their desperate condition and
show him that unless he does something
they viii be lost. 1t he refuses then q
disclosure Will be made OF the whole
fraud on condition that prosecution be
stopped.
1t is said that intimations have been
had IRON certain leading Democrats
that if the Returning Board will show
Hayes election to have been fraudulent
their prosecution will cense. Certainly
the Returning Board members are il
their last straits, and are rapidly be
coming desperate. Leading Republican,
here say they can see no way in which
; Hayes could help the Board, except b,
the violation OF law, which he dare no
do, and tnat, therefore, the chances 10
his exposure are now near al hand.
