MIR. Lambert Endorsed what Judge Wilson
had said. and he said that there was not the
slightest disrespect used or intended.
Mr.. Albert said that he had understood that
Mr.. Perry did not furnish the paper and there
fore he had no idea of criticising him.
Chairman Norris remarked that witness could
be examined as to what effect the paper had
upon him. As he had before stated the COM
mission had not seen the paper, although they
found it floating around.
Mr.. Perry said he had been careful to have
the paper kept by Capt Roetsh and had given
copies only to those he could trust.
Chairman Norris remarked that he had
noticed them in the hands of counsel and wit
nesses. and 1t was in that sense he had said it
had been floating around.
Mr.. Mckinney said that the term coaching
had been used.
Mr.. Perry said he did not mean it in an Of
fensive sense, but that counsel conferred with
witnesses the same as he had done with his.
In other words. they had coached as he had
coached.
Mr.. McKenney-My witnesses have been 30
thoroughly acquainted with the properties
that found was the one that was coached.
Mr.. Albert announced that he had no further
questions.
Mr.. Saunders was cross-examined by Mr..
John w. Warner as to the tract of the White
heirs on both sides of the creek, north Of the
Don PassOs tract. He had put valuation Of
600 on it, and if he owned it he would pasture
cattle ON q portion Of il, but there was much
where cattle would starve. He would value
the whole at s100, spreading it over all, but
much OF it wasn't worth anything.
Mr.. Lambert followed in cross-examination,
and witness said il the trees were just where
wanted the tract wa. improved, but II the
trees covered tract they damaged it. He had
assigned $500 per acre to the Barton tract and
d, 200 to Mclaughlin and Jones, and he ex-
planned that the latter places were Of some
beauty nearer the city.

LITTLE Rock, Ark, April 2l.-Sar-
all Haxsell, woman Of questionable
character, was murdered last night in
Little Rock by William Williams, a
negro. Some twenty months ago she
came here from Indiana and rented a
small cottage, where the murder was
committed. She claimed that her hlis-
band was in Hubbard, Tex. Soon after
moving into the cottage the negro
formed the woman's acquaintance, and
the citizens OF the community noticed
that he visited her frequently Re
Gently the woman manifested desire
to cut Williams acquaintance and they
quarreled. On one occasion the woman
was heard to say: Eyes, you have
threatened TO kill several times, and If
you should ever do II, every body would
know who Ii was Williams worked
at Fuuston's marble yard, and for sew
cral days has not been seen in the
neighborhood OF Sarah Haxsells home
Last night the woman went out, and on
her return at late hour Is believed to
have been accompanied by Williams.
Nothing il known OF what transpired
between the time the woman retured
and the hour OF midnight Al that
hour, however. persons residing in the
neighborhood heard pistol shot and a
man was seen running from the cottage.
a few minutes later the woman was
found lying on the floor in her front
room dead. A CHASTITY hole entering
the right side Of the neck and severing
the iugNllar vein told part OF the story.
She was dressed AS she WAS when she
went out, and her two little children 8
aud 10 years old were crouching in far
corner of the room, terror stricken.
They were unable 70 throw any light on
the murder as both were asleep when il
was committed. Soon after the discoy-
cry of the murder Williams was AZ
rested He foigned ignorance of the
crime OF which he was charged and de-
MED everything vehemently. He was
locked up in tho county jail TO await an
examination.
