MORPHINE KILLED HIM.
Judge Hou1's Death Blamed on the fhy'
sician Who Attended Him.

Judge Hou1<'s Death Blamed on the Ply
sician Who Attended Him.
KNOXVILLE, Tenn, May 29.-The ssnsa.
tional death Of Judge Houk does not end
the sensations in connection Herewith.
1t is said here now that his death was
caused by dose OF morphine admins
tered by the attendant physician after tho
arsenic had been removed.
The story goes that Judge Houk had
completely recovered from the effects Of
the poison, except that he was weak and
excited
He seemed unable to sleep, and the
question was preached Of giving dose
of morphine. It Is said that the family
physician advised against it, saying that
Judge Houk had heart disease, and that
it would be very dangerous to give him
the powerful drug.
|. The morphine was not given the Judge
then, but later the physician who had
advocated it decided to administer the
drug when the other was gone. This he
did by injection during the night The
Judge went of to sleep, sleep from
which he never woke, as the sequel
shows.
A son of Judge Houk said that his
father would be alive now but for tho
dose of morphine. The physician who
opposed the administration said that
Houk's death is directly attributed to the
morphine.
This may lead to hot debate between
the doctors. None of Houk's family has
said anything about the matter publicly
and the son made the remark to friend
The funeral of Judge Houk took place
shortly after noon, and was attended by
an immense crowd. Congressman Enloe
was here, Senator Harris Of Memphis,
and Cullen of Illinois, and q number Of
other Congressman came, including Crisp
of Georgia. Bishop Joyce conducted the
| funeral exercises.

Asphalt on Main Street /.

The Asphalt Paving company are now
repairing Main street, between First and
Third streets, under authorization by
the council. These blocks were laid,
only few years ago, under the Scherer
contract, which cannot now be enforced,
for reasons heretofore discussed. The
new work and patching is being laid
with Kern county asphalt, and in ap-
pearance presents strong contrast to
the old work, which has gradually
softened and run into the cutters to a
depth in some places of over three
inches. 1t is unfortunate the property
owners could not arrive at some COM
promise with the city by which the
whole street could be repaved under
guarantees from some responsible COM
pany, instead of the unsightly patches
here and there. It would pay to have a
fine, new and uniform pavement in the
better business that follows such an i'm
provement. The property owners from
First to Court have for some time been
considering the policy and profit of low
erlng the present granite blocks and
covering them with an asphalt or
bituminous surface. Owners of prop
erty and tenants both understand and
concede that the roughness and noise
of the granite keeps people away who
drive and sends trade to streets with
smoother pavements. This is the COM
mon experience in other cities.

THE TROY DYE EPISODE.
Some "reminiscences of Notable
Murder Case.


G. A. McElfresh, during call at the
HERALD Office yesterday, in referring to
the Dye killing, spoke of the circum-
stances of the detection and punish
ment of Troy Dye for the murder OF
Tullis at Sacramento some years ago.
Troy Dye, who was no relation to Joe
Dye, took his two confederates to a
point opposite the island upon which
Tullis lived, and took them back to
Sacramento. The detection of the crime
was a fine piece of detective work. The
murderers thought that they had left
no trace of their work, as they went to
the island in new boat, constructed
for the purpose in the basement under
Troy Dyes house, and destroyed the
boat Immediately afterward ; but a
piece of the boat was found, consisting
of new, unpainted plank. One of the
boards had lot OF figures in pencil
upon one side. This piece was taken to
lumber yard, where one of the men
identified the figures as his own, and
remembered selling the plank to Dye.
This was the first clue discovered, and
led to the ultimate conviction of Dye
and Anderson, Lawson, the other ac-
complice, escaping.
