DYING OF EM04.s Il.

Lille johnson fSf eS IN the
Men phis Sc.
MEMPHIS, Tenn. reb. -4-There was
an odOr OF warm blood perceptible in the
criminal court room today so horrible
were the details of the Ward
Mitchell tragedy as told by va
rious witnesses, among whom was
Lille johnson, who testified in
her own behalf. The story of the
killing was told by other witnesses, and
one of the principals related the history
of the relations of the young ladies.
When Miss johnson told how Alice
Mitchell kissed her own bloody hands,
screaming IL was Freda's blood,
woman tainted and was carried out.
Before Miss johnson took the stand
she tainted in an ante-room while in
consultation with her LAWYERS, and
when She had finished her story and
had undergone a severe cross-eXamina-
ton at the hands of the iron-bearted at
torney general she was almost bodily
carried 10 the seat. Prominent physi-
clans from here were present this morn
ing. and people of all grades were out
In full force. The present issue is Miss
JohnsOn'sa application for bail under, the
writ of habeas corpus. and it is the
opinion Of those that followed the testi-
mOny that she has not many points in
her favor. Miss Johnson's attorneys
made desperate fight to show that
she knew nothing of Alice's inten-
tionS when they parted in the buggy,
but they partially failed to do this.
Jack Williams heard Misses Mitchell
and johnson whispering i'll front of the
custom house; saw Alice follow the
Ward girl: saw Lille johnson follow
her, and then return and drive the
buggy close to the incline and wait for
Alice. He heard a scream, looked down
Ward with knife. She grasped Freda,
and drawing her head back, pulled
the razor across her throat. After cut
ting her in the face the blood Spurted
on Miss Mitchell'S face, hair and hands,
and she rushed up the hill. Williams
saw her wrlnglng the blood from her
right glove. When Miss Mitchell
reached the top she cried: "Lill, have
done her."
This closed the states list of witnesses
and Miss johnson was ordered to testify
almost carried to the stand. having
tainted before she raised her head, and
on her face was look of awful misery.
She knew Alice Mitchell for five wears.
and knew the Ward girls two years.
Joe was her favorite, while Alice was
friendly with Freda. She loved Freda,
and Freda loved her. When the two
girls were separated Alice confded the
story of her love to the witness, and
often wept that she could see Freda no
more. On the day of the murder she
was driving with Miss Mitchell. After
they had gone to the custom house
the Ward girls passed and Alice
said: "Oh, Lii, Freda Ward
winked at me and l am going
to bid her good bye" She followed

Money.

New YORK, Feb. 24.-According to a
statement published this morning, late
Saturday and on into Sunday morn
ing, twenty-six anti-Hill leaders at
Albany were in secret conference
in the private office of Senator Chase.
During the conference the question of
the amount Of money needed was
raised. Ex-Seeretary of the Treasury
Fairchild said that he did not think a
large sum would be required. 1t was
estimated that from $1,000 to $50, 1000
would be a sufficient sum to meet every
: expense. and that amount, was virtually
pledged at this conference.
The intentions now is to elect at
Syracuse in May delegation of repre-
sentative Democrats who. upon arrival
at Chicago. will first make a demand on
the national Democratic committee for
recognition. Whether the delegation
will capture the committee or not
is a matter of doubt. Mr..
Grace thinks it is possible; Mr..
Fairchild believes it is certain. With
the backing of the national committee,
the delegation will be in all excellent
condition to appeal to the convention
for recognition. 1t does not expect to
demand that the Hill delegation he
thrown out, but it will ask that both
delegates be seated, each to have half
