Guthrie, o. T.. Dec. IA story of
atrucity, smaelSing Of the usages of
barbara country. comes from David,
small town in the interior OF Indian
territory.
AS stated in these dispatches at the
time A. ]. Blackwell. well known in
the west. was arrested for selling land
and according to the Cherokee laws.
Sentenced to death for high trea-
son.
Blackwell, when the territory first
opened for settlement. founded the
town of David and started a. new sect,
pretending to be a prophet sent OF
God He engendered the ill-will OF
a number of Cherokees. who. it is
now said, Matched up a conspiracy to
put him out of the way. at any rate.
two weeks ago Blackwell was taken
from the midst OF his family by order
of the Cherokee council, and, being
brought to ClaremOnt, was placed in
close confinement. Since then he has
not been allowed to even communicate
with the outside world and has been
fed upon bread and water.
z On Monday, the story goes, Black
well, after being clean shaven and
stripped OF his clothing, was brought
before Chief Ohaha, who was then
sub council, and was asked to confess
Blackwell answered that he had no
confession to make and that he was
the victim of a malicious conspiracy
and asked to be released. Instead he
was carried off bodily to the Needles"
a place of torture adjoining the prison.
where he was subjected 70 treatment
horrible in the extreme.
Ten bucks, dancing around their vic
tim and each welding a steel used for
the purpose, jabbed the naked flesh
of Blackwell. Their terrible cries Of
xxi VI and torture were kept up I'M
til Blackwell, bleeding and faint from
the dozens of punctures in his flesh.
sank to the ground.
In this condition he was taken back
to his former cell and still remains ir
irons hand and foot notwithstanding
the fervent appeals of his relatives and
friends.
What makes the case more compli-
Gated is the fact that Blackwell is q
full Pledged American, and has no
Cherokee blood in him, as has been
stated. His trial has not been set and
what further indignities await him
remains to be seen.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Dec. 7.-Although
the Hayward brothers are in cells
charged with murder in the first degree,
it is frankly admitted by the county
authorities that they have not yet laid
hands on the man who fired the shot
that killed Catherine Cling.
In fact, while they have made great
progress, they are really long ways
away from solving the mystery as to
the identity of the actual murderer.
1t is believed that a warrant is out for
the apprehension of the man, but the
authorities will neither affirm nor deny
that they know who he is From an
inside source, however, it is learned that
they confidently expect his arrest very
shortly.
The alibis of the Hayward brothers
are perfect so far as the time of the
actual murder is concerned.
An important admission made by
Hayward to the authorities while in the
sweat box yesterday, which has just
leaked out, is that Miss Cling was his
mistress. He admitted the liason and
in the next breath denied emphaticaliy
that he desil ed her death. 1t is known,
too, that Hayward was very much
smitten by the young lady whom he

tragedy; that he was in fact engaged to
marry her and the day set.
The authorities believe that this fact
may furnish the additional motive
deemed necessary to explain the crime.
1t has seemed scarcely possible that so
horrible a crime should be instigated
by Hayward for the $4,000 insurance
money which would be obtained, and
which he would have to share with the
others who were in the conspiracy.
Ten thousand would be no incentive
TO a man of Hayward's stamp, who
often had more than that in his pocket
and was known to stake a thousand on
the turn of a card. His approaching
marriage and the necessity OF ending
the hason with Miss Cling may have
furnished further motive.
The Hayward brothers were formally
arraigned in the municipal court this
morning, and the examination was con-
tinued until Thursday.

Mr.. Lacey, who is now president of

In the Canadian banks it was stated
there was power to issue notes at any

TRIAL BY JURY.
An Important Ruling by New Ha-
ven Judge.

New Haven. Conn, Dec. 1.-THE text
OF the Connecticut supreme court
opinion ordering a re-trial of DR.. ]. E..
Lee, after acquittal by jury for muir
der, the first record of the kind in the
state, is given out today. Its main
argument is the point that the old Eng
lish common law was so crude that
judges then wisely held that an accused,
after jury acduittal, could not be put
in jeopardy a second time for the same
offense: but now that the old law has
been relaxed a criminal ought not to
benefit by the former practice and JUS
tice be thwarted by errors of judicial
ruling. The court of five judges was
unanimous in the opinion, which was
written by Judge Hamersley, OF Hart
ford.
