Special Telegram to The Statesman.
PARIS, Tex, March 5.-The case of
ex-sheriff Crook, and ex-deputy sheriff
Harris, for the murder of sheriff elect
Black, was called this p. IN. and the
complaint against Louis Holman,
charging him with being accessory to
the murder of Black, was dismissed
by the state and Holman put upon
showed knowledge of the plot to kill
Black, Harris telling him that he
could get Middleton to kill
Black. Holman also stated that
he saw Middleton, after his escape
from Jail. After promising Harris
that, he (Holman, who was a deputy
sheriff. would not arrest him, Middle
ton said he would do anything for
Harris, as Harris had been d good
friend to him. After leaving the Jail
room, while walking to where Middle
toms horse was tied, that he might
escape, HOLMAN said: "This a pretty
come off for me TO be walking by the
side of a horse thief and me deputy
sheriff. l had better arrest y0u."
Harris, to this replied: "You had bet.
ter not try it, for if Middleton don't
kill you, I will" Holman said
Middleton was at the Jail on Monday
evening after the killing, when Mid
dleton detailed the killing IF Black.
From the testimony Of Holman, Il ap-
pears that Middleton remained IN the
woods the night of the killing, and
that w. d. Nelson and sevefal others
passed by where he was hid, tracking
his horse, and that he carried his gun
to shoot Nelson, but feared he could
not get away from the others. The
witness further stated that about two
weeks ago, Crooks sent for him to
come In; that he wanted to see him;
that he came in and Crooks and he had
conversation in BFitt's wagon yard
and that Crooks said: "We have got
to do something to stop Middleton
from writing letters" Afterwards,
Crooks, Harris and himself had a
conversation in which they both said
Middleton must be COTTON out of the
way; that he (Holman) could go and do
better than either of them, as they
would be missed, and arouse suspi-
cion. The plan was for Holman to
~ W w eeIlCSO, NduocloJ csuu uCCOy hlU-
dleton away and kill him, or get him
where Harris could kill him; or, if he
could not do that, to give him all the
money he had and tell him to leave.
They furnished him with $11O, for
that purpose. During the evidence
which occupied all the afternoon.
Holman stated that Harris said the
gun used to kill Black with was o. T.
Parsons, and that Crooks got it out
of the saloon. At one time since the
killing Crook STATE to the witness
that he was sorry he was in this trou-
BILE and that he would not have been
mixed up with it if it had not have
been for Harris and his wife. 1t be-
ing late before all of Holman's testi-
mony was given, the cross-examina-
tion was postponed until tomorrow at
o'clock. The interest in the trial
is unabated

Special Telegram to The Statesman.
DALLAS, February 28.-The eXan-
lining trial of Howard Montresser, alias
Frank P. Mcintosh, the hotel keeper
charged with committing rape week
ago to-day, on the person of Emma
Cladp, aged 9 years, was finished this
afternoon, after consuming three full
days. The testimony has been terribly
strong against the prisoner, and of
such character as to be unfit for
publication. Great excitement was
created as the case progressed, and
when the facts developed in court be-
came known, the crowds in the vicin-
ity became so dense in the
streets that the merchants petitioned
that the case be postponed
to the district courthouse, as the GUS
toners could not get to their stores.
The case was accordingly removed,
and the courthouse, which was packed
with people, became depleted. The
prisoners life was considered in such
danger from mob violence that a
strong guard of officers was always
near him and accompanied him from
and to the Jail. On three occasions
rope was taken from the crowd, the
suspicion being aroused that it was of
kindred to the Lynch family. Justice
Schultz this morning remanded Mon
lesser, alias Mcintosh, to Jail without
bail. rhe prisoner is identified as
Frank 2. Mcintosh, who escaped from
the Council Bluffs, Iowa, jail, about
Seevn or eight years ago, releasing
nine prisoners, and for whom. for a
long time. $3.50 reward was offered.
