The Graham Murder Case.

SPRINGFIRLD, Mo, March l8.-Char-
lie Graham stood his second days
eross-examination well, and left the
stand without contradicting himself in
any essential matter. He told in de-
tail the life of the families at Wash
ington, where, on two occasions, he
saw Mrs. Nalloy and Cora Lee in bed
with Graham, each time b fore break
fast, while his mother was preparing
breakfast. The last time both women
came to Graham's bed, in the same
room where witness and Frank Malloy
were in bed. Charlie said Mrs. Malloy
was in bed with Graham at the farm
when she explained TO him, saying
Graham had tainted. When witness
had signed the 0'Neal letter Mrs.
Malloy remarked: "May be you
signed your fathers life away.
May be you saw him kill your
mother" The night after the
body was found Charlie saw Cora Lee
burn letters until he went to sleep.
She was very careful to not let any
get up the chimney. The other girls
helped. Charlie admitted swearing
falsely at the trial of his father for
bigamy. His father told him what to
say.
John Brumley worked at the farm.
He stated that Cora told him before
the arrest TO say that Graham wasn't
home. She said "Those bloodhounds
at Brookline are after him. If they
get him locked up there will be no
chance for his life"
Brumley said he was chopping
near the well after the arrest.
Cora ordered him to cut in another
part OF the pasture, although the
easiest and best chopping was nearthe
we'll. When Mrs. Malloy and the
others went after the O'Neal letter
they drove rapidly. Coming back
they said ii was all right. Cora had
asked Brumley if any one should offer
him money would he tell where Ora
ham was.
Court adjourned, with Brumley on
the stand. The courtroom continues

HELENA, ARK, March lS.-Mr Joel
Higgins, jr., an extensive planter on
Oldtown ridge, below Helena, on the
night Of the 10th inst, had a mule
stolen from his stable. He came TO
the city yesterday and had a warrant
issued against Clay Gray and Nora
Lynch, charging them with grand lar
ceny. An officer went TO arrest them
and soon found Lynch and had started
to Helena with him when Gray was
seen approaching down the road. The
man was halted and told to consider
himself under arrest, which he re-
sponded to by drawing his pistol and
opening fire on the officer, who soon
had his pistol out and engaged in re-
turning the compliment. Gray was
wounded, but made his escape. This
is the third instance, quite recently,
that fugitiyes from justice have been
been fired on and wounded in this To-
cality.
