IMpERIoUs CONKLlAe.
A Scene BETWEEN Himself nnd F. Il.
GoWen In q I ourt Room.

TRENTON, N. j., October 27.-During the
examination to-day Of Edward H. Faulk-
ner in the Jersey Central lease case was
an intensely exciting scene in which Ex.
Senator Roscoe Conkling and franklin B.
Gowen, President fthe Reading Railroad,
were the central figures. In the early part
Of the examination Mr.. Conkling was very
irritating 10 the manner towards Mr..
Gowen, and very severe in his language
toward the witness. Judge Dixon was in
the room, and Gowen passionateiy ap-
pealed to him, Gin the name OF the proies-
sion and the law" to protect the witness
from the "violent, brutal and outrageous
abuse Of the counsel on the other side. "
Judge Dixon was called from the room for
a few minutes, and while he was gone the
lawyers glared at one another in silence.
Subsequently as Gowen was beginning q
redirect examination, Conkling, who sat
some distance from Faulkner in coIversa-
tion with another lawyer, said in low
tone, referring to the witness, "That man
is scoundrel." Gowen overheard the re-
mark, and turning quickly to the eleno.
grapher, exclaimed, "Put that down. He
called the witness damned scoundrel."
Conkling cody replied, "No one would
repeat side remark under such circum-
stances except blackguard."
"Then you are the blackguard," shouted
Gowen, angrily.
Conkling sprang to his feet, bis face
flushing angrily, and said :s"I made the
remark to another person, ina low tone Of
voice. No gentleman would repeat such O
thing unlee9 he forgot himself" ~
Gowen stood up, his beardless face work
| ing with passion. The audience became
greatly excited and pressed forward toward
the railing. The lawyers rose to their feet
and bent forward to watch. Beside Conk-
ling was Seward half out OF his chair, a
lock OF long hair hanging over his fore
head, while Secretary Robeson's fiary face
was thrust forward excitedly between the
combatants.
II am perfectly willing" shouted Goweu,
ITO be assailed for protecting deaf gentle.
man, like the witness, from the outrage in
iicted upon him by the counsel. It was
the part Of human nature to do 30. feel
proud TO have done it."
The audience applauded thesound Of his
voice. The words could scarcely be distin.
guished in the confusion. They're going
to fght!" shouted someone, pointing to
the two men glaring into each others faces.
"If this disorder Is repeated the officers
will clear the court room," said Clerk Oil
phant; proceed with the examination.2
It was sometime before quiet was re-
stored, the spectators momentarily expect
ing that the angry scene would result in
blows.

-The Courts Remarks.

-'fhe Courts Remarks.
ATLANTA, GA, October 27.-In the Banks
County Ku.Klux case eight prisoners were
found guilty on every indictment, and will
be sentenced Monday. Judge, Mccoy, in
his charge, was very severe in bis condem.
nation OF so-called Ku-Klux crimee. He
said:
at Is strange that men ehould SO forget
their manhood and so forget their God and
the laws cf their country as to permit
themselves to do such things on the poor
helpless negroes. 1t is q disgrace to human
ity and to society, and say, IS citizen Of
the United States, and as an observer, that
nothing has tended so much to bring this
country into disgrace, nothing has tended
80 much to put the balance tf the United
States against US as this kind Of outrages.
They are mean; they are disgracef1l; they
are horrible; they are things which people
out Of this country can not comprehend or
understand"
The conviction OF the Ku-Klux created a
sensation. The ringleaders are men OF
considerable property, and members OF a
large family In Bank county, named Var
borough. Four Of the family, Jaspor, James,
Ditmus and Neal, were tried and all con.
victed. Lovick Sreetmau, E, II. Green,
Bold Emory and Stacy Landerman were
the others. Jasper Marlborough was the
leader Of the gang. The charge against
them Is that they committed outrages on
the negroes because they voted for Hon.
Emory Speer for Congress.
Speer was defeated and appointed U. S.
District Attorney, so 1t fell TO his lot to
prosecute the Ku.Klux. The charge OF
Judge Mccoy was so liberal for the defense
that aequittal was considered certain.
When the verdict was read convicting the
entire gang, several broke down and sobbed
audibly. The prisoners were handcufed
and taken to jail. Their counsel will use
every effort TO secure new trial. The pen
atty is from one to six years. This is the
first conviction Of Ku-klux in Georgia.
