In conclusion the judge says:
"If such acts are to be passed over un-

Lynched.

Bluefeld, W. Va, Jan. 28.-Alexander
Jones, negro Desperate, boarded pas
seuger train at Key Stone last night un-
der the influence of whisky and very

The negro became much incensed when

injured.
Jones was incarcerated at the Elkhorn

ficers and prisoner boarded it without
molestation.
At Hemphill the train was tagged and

was swung to limb and his body riddled
with bullets.

SENSATIONAL TRIAL.
Interesting DevelOpm ents In the Life
Insurance Murder Trial Mt
wichita.

Wichita, Kas., Jan. 2S.-In the trial OF
f. M. Williamson, charged with murder
dering Henry H Leonard to secure the
latter's life insurance, Michael Jordan,
an old soldier, swore that Williamson ap-
preached him last October, a month be-
fore the crime was committed, and sug-
gested that he knew where $500 could
easily be made.
Williamson told him that he knew a
woman who held $4,000 insurance
policy on the life Of Leonard and would
give $500 to the man that would kill him.
The theory of the state has always
been that Williamson consented to a
divorce from his wife that she might
marry Leonard and under an agreement
that they would afterwards kill Leonard
to get the insurance on his life.

the Atlantic L. Pacific and the st. Louil

700 miles of road between Sapulps and

AMENDMENT TO SILVER BOND BILL.
Mr.. Allen, of Nebraska, gave notice of
an amendment to the pending silver
bond bill, depriving the secretary Of the
treasury of the power to issue bonds un-
less the authority was granted by con-
gress.
Mr.. Calls resolution for an investiga-
tion of the arrest of E. V. Debs was taken
up. Mr.. Call demanded immediate ac-
tion, saying that the laborirg interests
of the country desired an inquiry.
Mr.. Hill, of New York, said that Or
dinarily he had great respect for the
laboring people, but he had never heard
that they desired this investigation. If
such an inquiry wes desirable, it should
be by one of the regular committees.
Mr.. Hill offered an amendment direct
gated by the committee on Judiciary.
Mr.. Call dissented. He said that the
amendment was intended to suppress this
inquity. He spoke vigorously upon the
indignities and wrongs against Eugene
v. Deba, because he venture to express
opinions contrary to those entertained
ny the couss.
The senator said that this inquiry was
vital to the preservation of civil liberty
and the lnviolability of the personal
rights of tho individual.
Mr.. Hill said that he would not be put
in the attitude of opposing inquiry. He
paid high tribute to Debs and said that
action would be urged with view to Sc
curing appropriate legislative action.
Mr.. Allen created futter of excitement
by asserting that in his opinion the ex-
press purpose of referring the resolution
to standing committee was to suppress
and kill it. The resolution finally went
over to allow Mr.. Thurston, Republican,
of Nebraska, to address the senate on the
Monroe doctrine. He supported the atand
taken by the president and criticised Mr

has been weakened by the withdrawal
Of ex-Gov. Waite, who was the head Of

members have heretofore announced

but 1t was stated in official circles to-
day that they were inclined to follow
the example Of their leader, and with

are middle Of the road Populists and
the regulars are for Bryan.
The Illinois controversy is confined
to Cook county and is based on grounds
very similar to those Of the Colorado
contest. The regulars, known as the
Taylor delegation, claim they are the
representatives of the real Populists Of
Cook county and that the others are
pretenders and not real Populists The
national committee will pass upon the
prima facie facts in these contests,
seating one delegation or the other in
each case for the temporary organiza,
ton only. When the committee on
