grows sensational. Mrs. Long, the mother,
and Ida Long, the sister of Mrs. Beggs,
testified that District Attorney Gill, Dep

and one Gardner had scared them into
testifying against Beggs at the inquest;
said these parties told them that Beggs
had accused his wife's mother of killing
the child. and if they did not convict him
Mrs. Long would surely be hung. Dickson
was put on the stand to testify in regard
TO the alleged intimidation of witnesses,
but was not allowed to do so. Jesse WEIGH,
who helped Beggs bury the child. testified
that he .(Beggs) wanted to bury it where
nobody would find it. F. Beatty testified
that he was in Beggs' house after the death
of the child, and on uncovering the body
detected strong smell of chloroform.
Mrs. Ollie Welch also noticed a strong
peculiar odor in the room. At o'clock this
