 BISON, July About midnight last night crowd from Kingslan3 arrived here and called at Sheriff Dykes residence, stating that they had a prisoner whom they wished to confne ia j. T. sl.esilf answered the call and no sooner had be entered the front yard of his home than the crowd, which was a mob, demanded the key to the jail, stat ing that they wanted Good Gray. the murderer of Bob Frederick, the bumper for the Cotton Belt, who was murdered and robbed last April near Moro Tank, a few miles southwest of kingsand,
 In the face Of such overwhelming nunbers the sheriff was forced to yield and surrendered the key.
 The mob then went to the jail, got possession of the body of Good Gray, put him on hand car and spirited him away, going in the di- rection of Kingsland.
 
 This morning his body was found dangling from 3 telegraph pole at the scene of his crime.
 Good Gray was arrested some time ago and confined ia the Jefer- son county jail for safe keeping. His trial at Rison was set for today, and Sunday Sheriff Dykes went up to Pine Bluff after the prisoner and returned with him Sunday afternoon with the above result.

THE INQUIRY TESTIMONY.
Facts Told by Witnesses to Off,
GERS of the Maine Court.
THEY ALL POINT TO SPANISH TREACHERY
Capt. SiGsbee Took Extra Precau-
lions to Guard His Ship from
Rnrm-Consul General Lee
and Others Testify.

WASHINGTON, March 2o.-The immense
mass of testimony taken by the Maine court
OF inquiry was sent TO the senate Mon
Gay. and with the presidents message and
findings OF the court referred to the COM
mittee on foreign relations. The testimony
was taken on is different days, the four
,eenth day, however, beinS devoted TO view
ing the wreck Every witness who was
known to have any information that could
throw light upon the great disaster was
called to give his testimony. The story
of the destruction of the vessel is told, not
graphically. but in a manner which gives
all the obtainable facts. No technical de-
tail is omitted. Every movement and in
cfdent connected with the Maine from the
time she left Key West until the last diver
examined the wreck, slowly sinking in the
mud of Havana harbor, is given. 1t is
story intensely interesting 10 the people.
Those who read 1t could have little doubt
as to whether there was n Internal or ex-
ternaI explosion. Perhaps the most sig
nificant testimony is that showing the bot
.om plates on the port side of the i'll
fatcd Maine to be bent inward and up
ward. a result that hardly could have fol-
lowed anything save an explosion from the
outside A mass of testimony is submitted
showing the care exercised on board the
ship by Capt. SigSbee and his officers, and
the apparent imDossibility of the accident
the heating of the bunkers, spontaneous
combustion or so many other theories were
based.
The testimony of Capt. Sigsbee IS of the
greatest importance and perha pS is of more
general interest than that of any other
man called before the board. With great
care and mnuteness he gives an ac-
count of the management of the ship, how
she was handled. what was done from day
to day on board, how she sailed into Ha-
vana, her anchorage and what he knew
about It, and. in fact, every point upon
which the government and the country de-
sires to be Informed. Nothing in Capt.
Sigsbee's testimony shows that the anchor
age was changed or that il was considered
dangerous by anyone.
Second to the Importance of the testi-
mony of Capt. Sigsbee is that of Ensign
Powelson, who had charge of the divers
and knew from dav to day what these
divers found. This officer was infinitely
Informed as to the construction of the
Maine and everything about her. His
testimony was to a certain extent tech
meal bearing upon the construction of the
ship. her plates, etc, but ii was from these
plates and this technical knowledge that
he was able to declare that the explosion
took place from the outside.
The divers, Morgan, Olsen and Smith, all
contributed important evidence. They

tons with the Spanish authorities, Capt.
Sigsbee stated that with the officials they
were outwardly cordial. The members OF
the autonomistic council of the govern
ment. however, seem TO have brought TO
the attention of the navy department the
fact that he did not visit them, and that
fact brought embarrassment to the gov
eminent at Washington. He took the
ground to the department that IL was I'M
known etiquette to call on the civil mem
berS of the colonial government other
than the governor. Without waiting for
such order Capt. Sigsbee made visit
afterwards. and s he states was pleasant
ly received and his visit promptly returned
by certain members of the council. Later
a party of ladies and gentlemen called and
the president of the council made speech
which Capt Sigsbee could not understand,
but which was interpreted TO him briefly. to
which he replied.

erwards printed in at least two papers in
Havana. but the terms made me favor au-

testified that the plates were bent inward
On the bottom port side and outward on the
starboard side.
The story of the explosion is told by diff
ferent witnesses and adds little to what
Capt. Sigsbee and Comma nder Wainwright
related.
Nothing in the testimony fixes RESPONSE
bility. no conspiracy is apparent. no knowl-
edge of the planting of a mine is shown
Capt. Sigsbee states that som ew'hat bit
ter feeling existed against the American
ship. and Americans generally, and wit
ness whose name is suppressed tells of
overhearing a conversation among Spanish
officers and a citizen indicating a fore
knowledge of the destruction of the Maine
by intention TO blow her up. An official of
fhe American consulate tells of informa
ton received anonymously tending 10 show
that conspiracy existed But nothing is
definitely stated which fixes any RESPONSE
bility upon Spain or her subjects.
Gen. Lee Tesfiiies.
Consul General Fitzhugh Lee appeared
before the court on March s. His teSti-
mony rs!a led to the official formalities pre-
ceding the Names arrival. On January "a
he received a message from the state de-
partment saying that the Maine would be
sent to Havana on a friendly visit to re-
sume the regular status of naval relations
between the two countries. and he WAS
ordered TO make arrangements at the pal
ace for the exchange of official courtesies.
After call at the palace he sent the state
department cipher message saying:
authorities profess TO think the United
States has Interior purpose in sending the
ship. Say it will obstruct autonomy and
produce excitement, and most probably
demonstration. Ask that il not be done
till they can get instructions from Mad

All Regulations Carried Out.
Lieut.. Commander Richard Wainwright

Capt. Sigsbee Testifies.
Capt. Sigsbee, in testifying before the
court of inquiry which convened in the
harbor of Havana Monday. February q,
said that he assumed command of the
Maine on April 10. 1897. and that his ship
arrived in the harbor Of Havana the last

Havana knew of the Names coming, Con-
sul-General Lee having informed the au-
thorities according to official custom. After

TORPEDO DID NOT Explode.
One on the Torpedo Boat -WfnslO,
struck by She'll.

A special to the New York Herald from
Key West, Fla, yesterday says: In look
irg over the wounds of the brave little
Winslow today it was found that a shell
had struck the forward port torpedo, pass
ed through the gun-cotton charge, but not
exploding the missile.
So far as known, this is the first time
torpedo with its final adjustments for fight
ing on has ever been hit by n proJectile.
The result of that impact will unquestion-
ably set at rest all doubts to the effect
of projectiles on gun-cotton torpedoes. The
torpedo is ruined beyond repair.
A box containing sixty charges of one
pounder fixed ammunition was also hit by
q shell, and although the box was set on
fire, the contents were not exploded.
