yAILER DENNIS DEATH.
Harvey WeeAnan Meld for the Nurdsr
ct Helena, Ark.


HELENA, Ark. July 28.-This after.
noon, after examining many witnesses
and adjourning from day TO day. the
coroner's jury investigating the cause
Of the death Of Jailer Pat Dennis, who
was called to the door Of the Jail in this
city at midnight on Friday last and shot
down like dog, brought In q verdict
to the effect that he had come to his
death by gunshot wound at the hands
Of Harvey Weedman. Weedman lives
30 miles away from the scene Of the
crime, and was found ct home at Z
o clock the morning following the
crime. He must have ridden from
home to the Jail and back again after
shooting the jailer, making q ride Of n
miles. Weedman came to town on the
morning train on the day following the
murder, and went immediately to the
jail from the depot, whore he was
arrested few hours later. He refused
to look ut the dead man . body, although
invited to do 20. They had been friends,
and the only motive for committing thu
crime, II he really killed him, was 70,
the purpose Of getting the dead man I
job.
The wife of the murdered man believes
Weedman is guilty, and first suggested
that he was the man. Weedman 4
father, mother and sister testified before
the coroner's jury, but they told . fal
different tale from the one told by thu
prisoner. A felt wad thrown from tht
gun with which Dennis was killed ftl
Weedman's gun exactly, and he admits
having been away from home that after
noon with bis gun. but claims that b,
got back home at half past o'clock
There does not seem to be much doubt
Of Weedman 3 guilt, and there has beer
some talk Of lynching. Sheriff Burk.
has taken precautions against any sucl
step. and will hold the jail at al
hazards. Weedman was held for th.
circuit court without bail. The city
and county are still greatly excited, fol
the crime was the most dastardly evel
known here.

NEGnO C0LONIsTs
II Nexice Reported t. bs In . Starvinl
Condition.

WASHINGTON, July A.--Bad news has
been received ct the state department
from the colony Of American negroes
who went into Mexico some time ago
and settled on = tract Of land near the
Tlapualilo.
A telegram was received at the de.
partment this morning from United
States Consul Sparks at Piedras Negras
stating that the negroes are In de-
plorable condition. These emigra nts
were brought from the Southern States
Of the o. s. mostly from Alabama
and the Carolinas, under most alluring
promises, from the emigration agents, of
comfortable homes in Mexico, but from
al accounts that have been received
they have been Ill. treated and suffered
great hardships from the time Of their
arrival in that country.
Consul Sparks says the negroes are
scattered for miles along the railroad
without friends, living on Mesquite
beans and branch water. The consul
says that he can do nothing towards
their relief and he fears trouble because
the negroes are starving.
The railroads offer to make liberal
rates TO take them out of the country.
LATER.-The consul reports that he
has received telegram from DR.. L. b.
Barry ct Torrean, Mexico, dated July
98d, to the effect that 1853 Of the negroes
from the colony were there In desti-
tute condition with fifteen cases Of con.
tagious diseases amongst them. The
Mexican police had prevented them
from entering the town.
A letter ON the subject has also been
received at the state department from
Representative Bankhead, Of Alabama,
inquiring whether the government could
assist in bringing back to their homes
the members Of the colony Of colOred
citizens who are destitute and dissatis-
fed.
The department has tried in every
way to afford relief in this case, but Il
u well nigh powerless, and It is prob
able that II the unfortunate negroes are
to be saved from starvation, private aid
must be extended to them Immediately.
The consul at Piedras Negras has
been instructed to render any assistance
which he can properly extend and "a
report any serious Developments.
Our charge ct the City Of Mexico hae
been informed also Of the state Of affair
as reported by the consul and instructed
to inquire into the treatment Of the
colonists.
The department Of state has no funds
which can be applied to maintaining
destitute Americans other than seamen
in foreign countries or to provide fol
their transportation home and has been
obliged to 30 inform the consul and al
those persons who have made inquiries
concerning these colonists.
