The coroner's inquest into tho killing
OF Mr.. Thomas G.. Massie was in session
yesterday and will be continued to-day.
The proceedings wero varied by the in
tcrjcc ton Of a writ OF habeas corpus
made by Judge Robertson for tho two
negroes, Redd and Williamson, who
had been arrested on suspicion. Under
this they were released and immedi-
atcly roarrcsted on a warrant ION in
formation" charging them with murder.
Tho hearing for bail was then begun,
but was continued to Monday. Both
prisoners presented alibi testimony
which has boon weakened at two i'm
portant points.
The citizens mass meeting and that
OF tho Real Estate Exchange for
warded materially the raising funds to
secure tho apprehension and conviction
of the murderors, and to otherwise aid
to that end.
Tho funeral OF the murdered gentle
man will take place at st. Johns Epis-
copal Church this afternoon at $50.

WILLIAMSBURG ALrBI.
Was He Lying on His Pallet From ,
O'clock Until 1O2

Tho testimony Of Fannie Morgan,
Nl'llamson's cook, in the bail proceed
lngs, was the backbone OF his alibi.
She swore she could see all over the
snaok house from the cook stove in the
l.; that at about 2 o'clock he complained
OF headache and lay down on a pallet
behind tho counter, where he remained
until 10, under her observation as she
had como forward and taken his place
behind the counter.
A Times reporter visited the place in
company with Sergeant Jones. It is a
dlngy, slovenly-looking, disease-breed-
ing sort OF one-story shanty at the
northwest corner of Nelson street and
salem avenue from the angle formed, by
inc TWO sides OF which sullenly swings
a sign bearing the legend that Il. ii.
Williamson keeps y restaurant and fur
nishcs lunches.
The low ceiling and walls on tho inside
OF the structure are unplas tered and
implanted, and around them cobwebs
and dirt contest place with articles
cooked and sold in the place.
Inc rooms, or rather room, is L-shaped
IN tho western extremity of which is
situated the cook-stove and in the
sout them end is the door leading ont on
Salem avenue.
Parallel with Nelson street runs the
counter. That portion OF tho l. on
which tho counter and it's necessary
iee-way abut is partitioned or with
pieces of boxing, in which is but one
hole through which to look from tho l..
No one but the Morgan woman can
say that Williamson lay on that pallet
from till 10. Tho pallet is invisible,
except from behind the counter. Will
hanson may have boon there or he may
not lie might rs we'll have been shut
up in safe so far as public observation
would bear evidence

TIE DoCKEnEY RESOLUTION.
The Charges Against Senators and Repre-

The Charges Against Senators and Repre-
sentatives to DO Investigated.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-ISpecial]-
The final conclusion with respect to tho
Dockerey resolution providing for an
invcssig alton of tho charges that Repre-
scntatives and Senators wcro interested
in tho silver pool will probably be
reached by tho rules committo soon
after the holidays arc over.
The Speaker has doubts of tho pro-
priety Of Investigating charges that do
not make spe citic and definite allega-
tions, with somewhat of circumstantial
detail, and thought tho rules of
the committee should have moro
OF basis than simple newspaper
publications upon which to order an
investigation on Messrs. l3lount and
McMillen, Democratic members, thought
tho committee would be justified in
ordering an investigation, and McKin-
Icy was also OF tho opinion that an in
vestigation ought to be had. The dccis-
ion to report the resolution to tho House
with favorable recommendation had
almost been reached when tho shipping
bill and other matters came up and de-
layed tho final determination.
