HE ASKS An EARLY TRIAL.
j. Praise Richards Says He Wants the Case
Against Him Settled.

Against Him Settled.
In the Criminal Court this morning ]. Praise
Richards, indicted for purloining papers from
the census Office, appeared before Judge
Bradley and read paper protesting his inno-
cence. asserting that the charge is malicious
and reciting tie hardships he has been pu. to
By resting under the charge. He had, he
stated, passed civil service examination. but
could no. receive an appointment while under
this cloud, and he asked the assignment Of the
case for an early trial
District Attorney Cole stated that Messrs. A.
O. Riddle and II. Z. Davis were marked as the
attorneys in the case, and he had conferred
with them on the subject
Judge Bradley said that when the Indictment
was found it struck him as a trifing matter.
District Attorney Cole said that his attention
was called to the by census officials through
the Department Of Justice. and that the papers
involved were returned Immediately after the
Indictment had been found
The court said it looked as il there was some
motive in the prosecution he could not under
stand. and if, as the defendant states, those
who brought about the prosecution did not
wish the case to go further they should 30
state.
District Attorney Cole said that he would in
quire into the case and dispose of it at the
earliest opportunity-this week if possible.
Mr.. Richards, holding up scrap book in
which numerous newspaper clippings were
pasted, said that he had been published as being
in Jail and held up thief and now desired
yindication.
The court suggested that the census officials
be communicated with and that some DISPOSE
ton be made of the case

LANDLORDS SLAYER.
A "Cheeser" Found on Him-He Swears He
Will Never Hang.

a "Cnee3er" Found on hfm-he Swear9 H<
Will Never Hang.
A day or so ago there was captured on the
person of Samuel Moore, the negro awaiting
trial for the murder Of Henry Jandorf at the
District Jail, what is known among the jail
officials as q ''cheeser." This instrument in
the hands of desperate man, such as Moore
is, is hardly less deadly or dangerous than il
the much-feared razor OF the negro desperado
1t is nothing less than the steel shank which is
found il every well-made shoe. 1t will take an
edge a. keen almost as a razor, and is COM
monty used by the Jail inmates for the same
purpose. Of course its use is strictly forbid
den, and confscation and sometimes punish
ment follows when its possession is detected by
the Jail officials How Moore became pos
sessed Of the one found on him is q mystery to
the authorities, although ii must of necessity
have been supplied by fellow prisoner.
Since the killing of Jandorf Moore has worn
day and night stiff leg irons These irons are
fastened around the ankles and are composed
of two heavy bars opening on a hinge. They
are secured by inserting a bolt In the rivet
holes when the bars are brought together, and
then. by means Of a small anvil and sledge-
hammer beating a head on the bolt. When
thus secured the irons hold the feet of the pris-
oner about eighteen inches apart, locomotion
is rendered slow and laborious. and a release is
only effected by knocking the head of the bolt
of by the use of hammer and steel chiseL
Moore is thus secured to prevent the slightest
chance of repetition OF his crime, for, al
though considered a natural coward by the jail
officials, his disposition is so mean and brutal
that he would not hesitate to repeat murder if
an opportunity was afforded him.
He boasts continually that he will never hang;
that he will kill himself first. While placing
little, if any, confidence in such boasts, the au-
thorities at the jail take unusual precautions to
prevent their fulfllment Yet, despite their
unceasing vigilance, Moore came into the pos
session of the 'cheeser," and this incident, as
well as that of the murder of Jandorf itself, is
q most striking illustration that an increase of
the Jail force is absolute necessity. 1t is ex-
pected that Moore will be tried this week. His
defense will be one of self-defense.

WAR IN ALABAMA.
Choctaw Citizens discriminating the
Slmsites.

Choctaw Citizens DISCRIMINATING the
Slmsites.
MOBILE, Ala, Dec. os.-TSpeciall-
Terrible scenes are being enacted in
Choctaw county. Citizens arc wrought
to such pitch of excitement that a war
OF determination is being waged against
tho Sim sites.
Sincs Christmas two moro of the de-
luded people have been FASTENED to
death at ropes end. A special to the
Register from Shubuta this morning
tells of tho lynching on Saturday night
of John Sims. brother of Bob Sims.
and of Moseley Sims, Bob's nephew.
According to the last report received n
crowd was in full pursuit of negro
who is reported to havo taken part in
tho McAlillcn massacre of Deco mber %.
When caught he will bo strung up.
The most alarming thing about tho
situation is that Neal Sims, q brother
OF Bob, and who rescued Bob from tho
deputy marshal at Bladan Springs, in
Choctaw county, in August last, is still
at large and determined to avenge Bobs
death on the slayers OF his brothers.
Neal is desperate man. lilo firmly be-
lieves that his brother was a prophet
from God and had divine sanction to
Kill the devils agents, namely, tho OIL
GERS of the law
A special dispatch to tho Register saws
that Neal Sims has collected forty of the
Simsites and sent word Sunday that he
intended to assault and burn the village
of Womack Hill before the night of that
day. People are greatly excited, and
all Sunday were massing at Womacll
Hill TO defend tho place.
The enraged people. on Saturday
morning after the lynching of Bob Sims
and his four followers, wrecked Sims
house and burned it to the ground and
then killed every living thing on the
place except the members of tho fam
lily, who escaped to neighbours house,
and who will move as soon as possible
to another State.
The dead bodies of Bob Sims and the
three Savages were taken down Satur.
DAY and thrown over the wall in tho
graveyard. John Savage still hangs
suspended.

down on Jefferson street.
The material was condemned several
days ago and yesterday it was removed
from the street.
Mr. Dunlap informed TIMES re-
porter yesterday that some of the stone
was soft lime stone and that there
was also some slate in it.
Part Of the metal had been rolled and
it was crushed all to pieces. This stone
is being quarried at Big Spring, and is
nothing like the sample that tho con-
tractor submitted. This sample was
taken from the quarry at Blue Ridge,
and is very good stone for macadam
purposes.
The contractor had the good and bad
stone mixed and was proceeding to lay
it, when Mr.: Dunlap called a halt.
