Took n Sensational Turn,

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Oct. 6.--In the case of
ID. b. Monroe, on trial in Clinton for the
murder of Militiaman Frank Smith, events
took a sensational turn to-day. Munroe
WAS the leader of the miners who made the
attack upon Camp Anderson in August last
for the purpose of liberating the convicts at
Coal Creek. According to Munros's own
evidence he was the leader of the rio ting
miners. The attempt of the prosecution to
show the existence of an oath-bound organ
lzatlon had failed up to to-day, Munroe
having testified point blank to the contrary.
To-day James Degruchy, a young English
man. testified that there was such a society;
that he himself had been initiated into it;
Monroe was the head of the society and ad-
ministered a horrible oath binding the
members not only to absolute secrecy, but
to kill anyone who revealed the secrets Of
the order. Munroe finched at Debruohy's
fatal testimony.
