DENIED BY MISS BROWN.
Stories Told of Her Relations with HedIe,
Are All False,

Are All False,
Carlinville, Ills, March 4.-Miss Ella
Brown and Editor Hedley were the star
witnesses for the defense in the trial
OF Hedley for killing Richards. Miss
Brown disputed the testimony given by
Miss Lizzie kinyon. saying: "Hedley
never kissed me and never had his
arms around my waist" She was a
typewriter in Richards office, and had
done writing for Hedley and others.
Richards proposed to me almost every
week for several MONTHS she con-
tinued, and when / refused to marry
him he was angry and accused Hedley
of being in the way. Richards took me
out every evening and wanted to be af.
fectionate. and when 1 refused he
threatened Hedley's life. Richards told
me that he would blast my character
so that I could not marry any one il I
did not marry him."
Captain Hedley testified as follows:
Il knew John r. Richards. We had
been friends. He wanted me to 60 into
a company to light the town. 1 re-
fused and this displeased him. He
ceased his visits to me. Threats made
were often communicated to me. When
/ met Richards at McPherson's store
door the thought struck me that my
time had come. I saw Richards and
knew he had blood in his eye. and
knowing he hsd been carrying a gun
thought 1 had better prepare myself
for the worst. 1 had all my business
fixed ready to die, for l was expecting
TO have to go when We met and thought
that this was the time"

COLLAPSE OF A DRY-KILH.
Two Men Fatally Hurt. Others Under the
Debris and Others BADLY Wounded.

DeDrSs ana Ounerp BodIy wounded.
Texarkana. Ark, March About 4
o'clock yesterday afternoon a large
steam dry-kiln at the Central Coal and
Coke sawmill tumbled in, seriously
wounding a number Of workmen, two OF
whom will die. Others are believed to
have been killed outright. The cas-,
wall Of the kiln tumbled in and crushed
the contents. making a complete wreck.
Large timbers. sheet iron and lumber
and railroad iron were bent and twisted
into a shapeless mass. After the crash
workmen were at once put to work and
soon liberated ten Of the workmen who
were caught In the debris.
Those who were removed from the
wreck follow: Gus Walton. head
mashed and internal injuries. will die:
Richard Hunting. seriously injured in
ternally. legs and shoulder broken. will
probably die; VIII Slade. foot and leg
badly crushed: j. W. Rabb, badly
bruised: L. b. Williams. left leg broken
and arm hurt; John Henderson, hips
crushed; L. Reeve. chin crushed: Bill
Smith. seriously injured internally, hip
and shoulder broken, will probably die;
]. d. Howard, foreman, hurt in leg and
arms.

under the debris and search is being
made for them. At the first crash an
alarm was turned in to the FIRE depart
ment and the firemen were soon on the
scene and the flames which started i'm
mediately after the building collapsed
were soon extinguished. The property
loss Is small. about $4,000.
