BEN EVANS STATEMENT

BEN EVANS STATkHENT.
There are letters and letters, and oil
denials do not deny and from what Mr.
Evsns says this is case In point. In the
first place there are several men who were
ready on trial of Beason 10 swear posi-
lively to his presence In Fort Worth on
July l3, and to the sale Of the TsEor In
Fort Worth by Besson on July 10, and
these men knew Beason we'll. His trip
to the Indian Territory could have been
proved beyond question, and the date
that he would have been in Gainesville
coul1 have bse en- fixed beyond the question
of doubt. It can be proved ALSO
lutely that he WAS not working
on q railroad near Dale on july IL by the
best of evidence, the books OF the railroad
contractors. Mr.. Evans said he did not
believe that old Mr.. Alexander had ever
written any such letter. He s7oke Of
him as strsight man, and he would not
believe that he had written; that he hsd
not seen him (Eyans) when they had
been together, not once, but several
times, not only by themselves but with
others. II WAS in old Mr.. Alexander's
presence that he got Mr.. Burris to repeas
part of what he had told him,
and after Burris left he went to
Alexander and urged him to remember
what he had heard, and for JUS
tice sake to say nothing about 1t
II, however, the letter published WAS
written by young Alexander he can
understand 1t, for he never did
see young Alexander. Evans says
there can be no question that Bessou
tried to get up conspiracy to kill old
Mr.. Alexander, and rob him Of the pro-
ceeds of ninety bales ofcottoD, and Evsns
slso says th,t the old gentleman had al
ways watched Bsason closely and knew
his character. 10 regard to the letter Of
July IL. from Gsine sville, the Information
came from Mrs. Burris direct, aud was
so stated, and neither one of the Alexan-
ders knew anything about 1t beyond pos
sibly the delivery OF he letter. In'regsrd
10 the letters received by BPason in
different names Evans got part Of his in
formation from Fate Bsgley. who is with
the AlexaDders, aid probably as clerk
handles more of the mail than the post
master himself. Mr.. Evans closed bv
saying he would not believe that the old
gentleman had written the letter, but
thinks the young man did write it, az d In
that case the statement that he hsd not
met Evans is correct. Mr. Evans has sd
ditioDsl evidence since Beeson's death,
which II is unnecessary to give at this time,
Those who hsve heard Mr.. Evans state
ments know them to beEr the impress OF

LATEST BY TELEGRAPH,


MEMPHIS, Oct. Ia terrible tragedy

he would taks ride. A he approached
the animal James Connolly, . negro,
called out to them to let the mule alone
o tho same time applying epithets.

and Jordan demonstrated against them
going. but they entered the yard. Con.
nelly ran into the house and shut the
door. A second afterwards q shotgun
was thrust through the window and dis.
charged. The contents struck Eastman
in the head. killing him instantly. Smith
ran over to where Eastman was and he
was bending over the dead body when

MORE MYSTERIOUS MURDERS.

Two More London Women Rutchered.
LONDON, Oct. This morning the
whole city was again startled by news
that two murders have been added to the
list Of mysterious crimes that have re.
Gently been committed in White Chapel
At an early hour it was known that an
other woman had been murdered, and
later it was reported that there was an.
other victim. The two victims, as in
former cases, were dissolute women Of
the poor class 80 that the motive Of the
murderer was not robbery is shown by the
fact that no attempt was made to despoil
the bodies. The first murder occurred
in a narrow street at an early hour this
morning. Beneath the windows of a
foreigners Socialist club concert was in
progress and many members of the club
were present but no sound was heard.
The same process had been followed as
in other cases. A club man on entering
the court stumbled over the body which
was lying only two yards from the street.
A stream Of blood was flowing from the
body. The murderer had evidently been
disturbed before he had time to mutilate
the victim The second murder was
committed some hours later. Policemen
tatrol the square every 10 minutes. The
BODY OF the unfortunate had been disem-
boweled, the throat cut aud the nose sew
cred. The heart and lungs had been
thrown aside and the entrails were dis.
closed in gaping wound.
