STARTLING STORY
GIGANTIC CONSPIRACY.
Counsel for the Executors Claim THAT the
Defendant, w. r. Smith, Is En-
gagged In y Pretendsd Liti-
cation.

A New York special Of the
18th says: A startling story
was developed to-day in the
United States circuit court in con-
nection with the never ending Stew.
art will case. Ex-Judge Horace
Russell, counsel for Henry Hilton,
made threat last week to nnearth
Gigantic conspiracy" on the part
Of syndicate Of spectators to gain
some Of A. T. Stewards million.
The story OF this conspiracy was
told in q series Of affidavits " hich
we're presented to the court in book
form, and which have for o long time
past, been securely locked up in
Mr.. Russell's desk. The motion
made by ex-Judge Russell AMI Elihn
Root yesterday was in the case of
Sarah Branagh agsinst William p.
Smith, Mrs. Stewards former coach
man. Twas for an order permitting
Charlie. 3. Clinch and Henry Hilton,
as executors OF the will Of the late
Cornelia M. Stewart to intervene in
the action, and requiring them to
be made parties defendant
thereto, giving as rea.
sons therefor that they
are interested on the action, and on
the ground that the action is pro-
NOTED and maintained, not in the in
terest of justice or to establish legal
rights, but by corrupt collision and
conspiracy to defame and libel Henry
Hilton in an action to which he is not
party, with the purpose and object
OF inducing him to buy bis peace
against such defamations and
libels and for the purpose OF casting
an apparent cloud upon the title to
property devised to Cornelia n.
Stewart by her husband in his wilt;
that the defendant, VIM. P. Smith,
is in corruption and conspiracy with
the plaintiffs attorney and counsel.
In other words the counsel for the
executors claim that the defendant,
VIM. p. Smith, is engaged in q pre-
tended litigation and has virtually
sold himself to syndicate which is
back of the claimants and whose
purpose is to get posse ssion Of the
Stewart estate.

LEE MURDER TRIAL.
The Murderer Of Henry Pougs Takes !
Change Of Venue to Faulkner
County.
Lee Does not Deny the Killing bat Claims
II was Caused by Pongs.

The murder trial OF John Lee,
charged with killing Henry Pouge on
Brushy Island last fall, came up In
the circuit court at Little Rock last
Monday morning. A change OF
venue was taken to Faulkner county.
Lee does not deny shooting Pouge.
lie Claims that while at Washington,
Hampstead county, last October, he
found Pouge in jail, and was per-
suaded by Pouge's mother, who was
poor woman, to 60 on her sons
bond for $3.50. He consented with
the understanding that Ponge should
work on his farm. When Pouge was
released on bail he left the country.
Lee said the sheriff said that he
would be compelled to pay the
money. Lee then set out to look for
Pouge, and sent for and received .
warrant for his arrest from the sheriff
OF Hampstead county. Lee alleges
that he knew nothing OF Pouge's
whereabouts until the night OF the
killidg. He says on the fatal night
he hesrd noise coming from his
orchard. Thinking that steers bad
broken down his fence, he secured
his shotgun, loaded it with small
shot, for the purpose OF sprinkling
the cattle, az he termed it, and to
drive them out.
When he passed small cotton
seed house, situated near the or
chard he claims to have heard q
sound like the walking OF man.
He stopped to look into the house.
As he did go the party inside, after
wards known to be Pouge. pulled .
pistol and shot him (Lee) in the
left side, causing q slight flesh
wound, and Pouze then wheeled
around and ran. Lee shot at him
aud claims that he did not know the
shot took effect.
Pouge then turned on him with
pistol in hand. Lee then retreated,
and as he was in the act Of jumping
fence fell. Pouge then gained con-
siderable on him. Lee noticing this
fact, sprang behind shed near by,
and when Pouge came up shot at him,
Pouge shooting about the same in
slant. Lee says he did not know
that he had killed Pouge, and ran and
hid behind tree near by to await
Pouge's actions.
