Counsel in the bynching Gases Gets
Excited--scnsntionn

Memphis. Tenn. Nov. 21-Today's
proceedings in the murder trial Of
Smith and Richardson, charged with
lynching six negroes, have been Of a
most sensational character. sheriff A.
J. McCarver, the father Of Butch"
McCarver the inhdel witness. was put
on the stand this morning. He was
asked by Gen. Peters, for the state,
how long he had known Of his sons
agnosticism before the latter had told
it ON the stand. Counsel for the de-
Tense objected and wanted 10 know the
purport Of the question, whereupon
Gen. Peters arose. and, addressing the
court. but keenly cycling the sheriff,
who sat In the witness stand. delivered
an arraignment Of that official, the like
Of which was never heard In a court
house In the state before. He accused
Sheriff McCarver of being In sympathy
with the prisoners and OF thwarting
every effort OF the state to secure a
conviction. He accused him of keeping
from the grand jury his sons know

ing of providing the accused every
facility for defense by driving them
over the county and by going to their
homes and placing the prisoners I'm
communication with characters whose
services might be useful on the trial.
He accused the sheriff OF such conduct
In the summoning OF men for jury
services as made II almost impossible
for the state TO secure q fair panel to
try the case. and the lawyer concluded
by charging directly that the sheriff
had used his means to assist the de-
fend1nts in cheating the law and had
connlvel at his sons treachery and
periiy in evadinE his duty as a Wit
moss. The shorlm listened to this ar
raignment specchless and open
mouthed. and skunk out OF the court
room after Il was over.
Counsel then argued the question Of
the admlss1hility ~ Butch" McCarv-
cr's evidence. hnt Judge Cooper decided
70 force him TO testify. on the ground
that he is not sincere In stating he is
an lnGdel Dutch" McCarver was
placed on the stand and the remainder
of the day was consumed by the states
efforts to induce this reluctant witness
TO tell what he knows as he told IL be-
fore the grand jury. McCarvcrs efforts
were directed toward clearing Detec-

whereas. Death has again invaded our sacred
portals and has cut down in its fatal path of
destruction our beloved Brother, James NJ.
White, Past Master of this Lodge.
Therefore, be it resolved, That in the demise
OF Bro. White, Masonry, and especially Humble
Cottage No. 10, have sustained a severe and
irreparable loss, for he was a sincere and zeal
GUS Mason, always ready for duty and willing
to give his services to the craft.
The community lost an upright and valuable
citizen, always striving to do what in his judg-
ment he thought would be for the good Of the
masses. He was true to his friends, kind and
charitable to those who differed with him. His
family is thus deprived of that love and pro-
lection which have always been his foremost
aim. lie was a devoted and indulgent husband
and father, always striving to contribute to
their happiness to the full extent of his abili-
ties.
Be it further resolved, That, we sincerely
moan the untimely death of our beloved Bro
ther and that we mingle our sympathetic tears
with those of the bereaved family whom we
best and does all things well. May He shield
the widow and orphans from harm and want
and comfort them in this their hour OF distress,
and may he inspire them with the wisdom of
will meet in that Celestial Lodge above not
made with hands eternal N heaven, where our
Grand Master presides and where sorrow and
strife are banished.
Be it further resolved, That, in token of res
pect of our deceased brother, the Jewels and
implements of this Lodge be draped in mourn
ing and that the members wear the usual badge
OF mourning for 80 days.
Be 1T further resolved, that these resolutions
be spread on the minutes and a COPY thereof
be sent to the family under the seal of the
Lodge, and that they be published in both of
