THE LAMBERT nURDER CASE.
Chas. Fry Dismissed and Bud Wei
 hunt Held for the nurder.

As mentioned in last weeks issue of the Star warrent was out for the arrest of certain party whose name could not be given until the arrest was made. The party referred to was c A. Fry. He was arrested last Thurs day and made a statement to the officers that placed the deed upon his father in-law, w. c. Weihunt, father of the boy arrested for counter feiting here a couple ef weeks ago. Accordingly Weihunt was arrested last Friday, and Monday at Holly Springs, six miles east of this city, before Justice Cole of Washita town ship he was bound over until the next term of the circuit court on testimony given by Fry and others. Fry was exonerated.
 The crowd that gathered at Holly Springs was large, and angry mutter- ings were heard which caused the officers as soon as the strong evidence against Weihunt was brought out to hustle him off to the county jail for safe keeping.
 The principal witness in the case was Chas. Fry, he testified that at about 5 o'clock Sunday morning he met his father-in-law in the barn yard coming from Lamberts house, and Weihunt told him he had shot Lam bert with a pistol. There were other mlnor points of evidence connecting him with the deed. The supposition is that, as Weihunt's boy who was ar rested for passing counterfeit money stayed with Lambert the night before he was arrested 9siiid! | iai a made s conf dente of Lambert, the old man made up his mind to get Lambert out of the way so he could not be witness agalnst his boy.
 Weihunt is a man past fifty years old and has formerly stood quite well among his neigh bors. When the eyi- dence was brought out against him at the trial he completely collapsed was  unable to talk distinctly and acted as a man who had a greater burden rest l ing upon him than he could bear. It is believed unless he is watched that he will take his own life before he can be brought to trial It is reported that he has had domestic troubles for many years His wife did not attend the trial and has not been near him since he was arrested
 The peculiar fact in the case is that the man Weihunt depended on to clear him was Fry the man who caused him to be held.
 When Weihunt was arrested Deputy Sheriff Bickle asked him who he want ed for his witnesses, Weihunt replied: ,,Chas. Fry. He was with me all that morning. We slept together and got up together" This was before he knew Fry had been arrested and would have himself to protect.

REPORT OF THE COURT

Text of the Findings of the Maine Board
of Inquiry.
The following is full text of the re-
port of the court of inquiry:
United States steamship Iowa, 1st rate.
Key West, Fla, Monday, March 81,
1898.
After full and mature consideration
of all the testimony before it, the court
finds as follows:
/. That the United States battleship
Maine arrived in the harbor of Havana,
Cupa, on the 26th day of January, 1893,
and was taken to buoy No. 4, in from
five and half TO six fathoms of water,
by the regular government pilot.
The United States consul general at
Havana had notified the authorities at
that place, the previous evening, of
the intended arrival of the Maine.
2. The state of discipline on board
the Maine was excellent and all orders
and regulations in regard to the care
and safety of tho ship were strictly car
ried out
Ali ammunition was slowed away in
accordance with instructions, and
proper care was taken whenever am.
munition was handled
Nothing was slowed in any one of
the magazines or shell rooms which
was not permitted to be slowed there.
Captain Had the Keys.
The magazines and shell rooms were
always locked after having been
opened; and after the. destruction of
the Maine the keys we're found in their
proper place in the captains cabin,
everything having been reported se-
cure that eve at 8 p. m.
The temperatures of the magazines
and shell rooms were taken daily and
reported. The only magazine which
had an undue amount of heat was the
after 10-inch magazine and that did
not explode at the time the Maine was
destroyed The torpedo war heads
were all stored in the after part of the
ship under the ward room and neither
caused nor participated in the destruc-
ton of the Maine.
The gun cotton primers and deton-
aters were stored in the cabin aft and
remote from the scene of the explosion.
The waste was carefully looked after
on board the Maine to obviate danger.
