cocKtxe's ACCOUNT or TEE TRAGEDY HAS
SOME VARIATION

CoGAsMS AcCOUhT Of TEE TRAGEDY HAS
SOME VARIATION
Cooking tells the story Of the tragedy,
substantially - follows, although some
variations Of II have been gwen TO diff.
ferent persons:
II closed up nv store about 10 O'Clock
Thursday evening. and went to bed about
half an hour later. Between II and
O'Clock / heard knocking ut the front
door. got up and drew on my trousers
and proceeded down stairs without stop
ping 10 put on my shoes. As | passed
Miss Miller's door thought that heard
g noise in her room. but went on without
paying any particular attention TO IL.
81 had descended through the hall into
the dining room, and was about to pass
from the dining room into the store, when
two men pounced upon me. They struck
me with something, do not know what,
IL may have been their ists. and then one
took hold of my head and tried 20 wiring
my neck.
81 fell half unconscious and one held me
while the other bound my feet and hands.
Then they raised the trap door in the bar
room. dragged me there, and threw me
down the cellar, head first, closing the door
after me. The fall made me unconscious
and ] neither heard nor knew anything
more until near morning"
ONE VARIATION.
One variation comes In here where be
has stated TO some persons tn whom he has
told his tale that he was struck on the head
while passing from the dining-room into
the store and knew nothing OF having been
bound until after he regained consciousness:
in the cellar sometime afterwards.
"As soon as came TO-" he continued, 81
crawled about the cellar until | found q
piece of broken glass bottle, with which
cut the cords around my wrists. then be
came so weak that could do no more, and
was In that condition when found by Mich
Jones Friday morning"
ANOTHER VARIATION
The variation at this point is that b.
was not unconscious after he had cut Oh,
cords from his wrists, but he could no
reach those about his ankles.

Detective Gauit, of Baltimore, has been
at The scene of the murder and has given
the crime thorough investigation. He
has found strong circumstantial evidence
against the husband A pair of trousers
were found under the pillow of the bed
upon which Mr.. Cooking had been resting
since the murder. They have distinc, blood
marks on the legs and waist band. The
detective also found that while Cockine's
right nostril had bled, all the blood was on
the len side of the shirt front which he
had worn and on the back of the shirt were
several splotches Of blood. The detective
further thinks that there was no forcib,e
entry OF the house from the outside. but
that the crime was committed by someone
who stayed in the house.
The victims we're buried at Durham p
H. Church, Nanjemoy, April 26, 1895. and
the funeral was largely attended.

INJURIES or THE WOMEN.

DR.. Smith made an examination OF the
bodies and he found Mrs Cooking lying on
her right side with a gaping wound on the
left side of the head, which penetrated to
the brain at the temple, and severed the
ear from side TO side. There was another
cut about two inches above, one an inch
and one half farther above that one, and
one near the top Of the head. The last
three wounds, like the first, were made
with the blade of the hatchet. They did
not penetrate the skull.
Mrs. Cooking was lying at the back of
the room, so she could have seen the muir
derer enter II she had been awake. The
room was somewhat disarranged, but show
ed no signs of struggle. Mrs. Cocking's
hands were clenched, however, in such
manner as TO indicate that she might have
made slight effort TO save herself, without
arising from the bed. Her head had slip.
ped off the bolster, and it was partly COW
cred by pillow.
MISS MTLLER's WOUNDS.
Miss Miller lay on her back, her hands
were crossed upon her breast and gold
ring shone upon her finger. On the right
side of the head, above the ear, was cash
one and one-half inches long. which cut
through the scalp and severed an artery.
On the left temple was q wound made by
the back of the Ratchet. Above and TO the
back of the ear was fracture produced in
the same way, which evidently penetrated
tie brain.

until the dining room and the s,oreroom
are reached. There is no blood 10 sneak

New Orleans, April Smother seri-
Gus affair growing out of the registra-
ton troubles, has occurred in St. Land

many others whipped.
The supervisor of registration of St.

quarters in OpelOusas, the negroes be
leved the presence of troops there
would protect them from the regula-
tors or white supremacists, and start
ed in large bodies for that town
A party of one hundred negroes left
Grand Prairie for OpelOusas, but We're
intercepted about half way by a band
of regulators The negroes were warn
ed back by the regulators and told they
would not be allowed to register.
They attempted to pass, when they
We're fired upon and two killed and six
or seven wounded. The others were
given fifty lashes each and returned
home
The affair created a panic among the
OpelOusas negroes and only a few of
them registered A large number of
citizens of OpelOusas have asked that
the militia Is kept there until after the
state election, April Il, but the FOn-
tenoi faction or white supremacists,
