ELECTION FRAUDS.
The Testimony of Several Witnesses As
Given Before the Committee.

NEW ORLEANS, Feb. l6.
The Senate investigation into the Copiah
county, Miss. outrages was continued today.
A. M. Burnett, chairman Of the independent
executive committee of Copiah county, sub
stantially corroborated the testimony of l..
M. Matthews, given yesterday, that several
colored men had been killed and others shot
and whipped by bands of armed democrats.
After being shot he was advised not to return
to Hazelhurst. He believed If he did he
would be killed. The republican speeches
made during the campaign were not infama-
tory.
Mrs. Matthews. widow of j. p Matthews,
said she and her husband were born and rails
ed in Copah county. Is now living at Oxford,
and will not return to Hazelhurst to live, al
though her husbands property is there. On
the dav before the election an armed mob
passed her house. McCree came back and
presented a resolution stating that the best
interest would be subscribed if her husband
abstained from voting. Matthews replied that
he had as good right to vote as any one, and
intended to exercise that right. Her husband
was kind, generous and charitable, and con-
tributed literally to the churches. No one
ever came to him for aid and went away with
out il. He also spoke kindly of his Deighbors.
She knew of no reason for killing other than
political. The same mob on election day
after her husband had been murdered, came
and stood about the yard, while others had a
band playing. They were firing guns and
seemed to be enjoying themselves.
Miss Mary Matthews, Miss Jennie Mat
thews, j. S. Matthews, children of the late J
P. Matthews, corroborated the testimony of
their mother.
