The Killing of Conductor Corn wall by A. J. McManus at
 Jonesboro.

The Sunday Morning GRAPAIc gave an account of the killing of Conduct | or. J.sG. Cornwall, at Jonesboro Saturday morning by eX-train mast CT A. J. MeManus, of the Cotton Belt. The weapon used was a 44-calibre Colts revolver.
 The Gazette of yesterday gives the following additional particulars of the tragedy:
 McManus surrendered to deputy sheriff few minutes later and was committed to jail. He was carried before Justice NJ, A. Adair at II o'clock, The examinating trial was continued until Wednesday morning. Your reporter called on him at the iaiI, but he declined to make state ment. The trouble is the result of alleged intimacy between sMcManus and the dead mans wife. Mrs. Corn wall had recently made visit north and McManus was, away at thesame time. and to the Waterloo, Iowa, Courier reporter, Cornwall, who had followed in the hunt of them, related that they had registered at a hotel as man and wife. A full account o1 their escapade at that place togeth- CT with CornwalPs story of their past intimacy while living ln thls

city was published in the local pa pers at that place and mailed copies sent here. Their conduct was also given publicity in the St. Louis pa pers of last week. On account of the publicity of the affair it is claim cd by MeManus' friends that he re- signed his position and was prepar- ing to leave on the morning train. Cornwa arrived in the city last night and was inquiring around for McManus and threading to prosecute him. The defense will be self-defense on account of Cornwall's threats and at the time of the shooting that he was advancing with a coalpick in his hands.
 Your correspondent hastened to the scene within few minutes after it occurred and found the dead man still lying on the platform in a pool of blood. The pick was lying near him, but the point was sticking onto small pipe, and from one of the most reputable men of the communi- lty who was an eye witness, welearn that the pick was in the same place when Cornwall fell, but that he made an effort like trying to get it after the shooting. The coroner searched the body without finding a weapon or even a penknife on his person. He was in his shirt sleeves at the time.

is if baled cotton sells for u cent

is in sympathy with those people
rs tong rs they will make manly
fight for their rights, but will ne
yer, under no circumstances, ap-
prove or tolerate lawlessness in
any form and under no circum-
stances, and would advise the
planters to be calm, cautious, and
not to be too hasty. Mob law OF
lawIessness is certainly not going
to improve matters, and may cause
them to lose public sympathy
