HUMPHREYS LYNCnING CASE
DEFENDANTS NOW BEING GIVEN
HABEAs CORPUS HEARING.
As Much Interest Is Manifested ms
Was shown on the First Trial.
Evidence Bcing Introduced.

Athens, Texas, August a.--Thc haheas
corpus hearing OF the alleged HUMPHREYS
lynchers commenced today. The scene
was very pathetic. as some OF the wives
and daughters of the prisoners met their
husbands and fathers the first time since
the first examination. Most all the pris-
oners had grown boards and the change In
their appearance was wonderful
AT exactly 1880 Judge Lipscomb took
took the chair and Judge j. j. Faulk pre-
scented the case in behalf OF the defense.
The court room was packed and almost as
much interest is shown as at the first
hearing. At S:45, after long wait, the
attorneys appeared and said that they had
reached an agreement that the trying OF
one case should decide all the cases, 1t
was also further agreed that the notes
OF evidence taken at the first hearing
should be read in full and that witnesses
would be introduced only in case of dis
agreement or to make evidence fully.
The first testimony to be read was that
of John Greenhaw's and Judge j. j. Faulk,
who was reading the testimony, read 1t,
All was very quiet and the falling of pin
could have been heard, so intense was the
interest of testimony.
The grand jury convenes here on the
first Monday in September,
The sheriH and deputies, with Captain
Mcdonald of the State Rangers, and
Ranger Odds, have returned from the
Transcedar. where they have been busaly
engaged for several days summoning wit
nesses. They report number of the Wit
nesses sick and some away from home
visiting relatives in other counties.
The officers state that there have been
some further disturbances in the Hum
phries neighborhood in the last few days
A party of seven unknown men went to
the house of Dock Woods who is a SON
in-law of James HUMPHREYS. and made in
quiry as to the whereabouts of the Hum
phries widows.
Horse tracks were found about the house
of Mrs James HUMPHREYS, but as neither
of the widows have stayed at their homes
at night since the examining trial of the
Humphries lynchers nothing further could
be learned of the party or the object of
their visit.
A few nights later some one went to the
house of Dock Woods and shot into his
house.

AS TO PRICE OF PETROLEUM.
HOUSTON REFINERY HAS AIDED
CORsICANA OIL PRODUCERS.
Crude and Charging Texans
More for Refined Oil.

Austin, Texas, August 9.-Much is be-
ing made of the reports of rise in the
price of crude petroleum coming from
Corsicana of late, ag radual Jump from so
to rs cents per barrel having occurred
lately. important as this increase Is, It
Is not near as great as 1t ought to be.
Pennsylvania crude petroleum, which Is
inferior to the Corscana product, is bring
ing $l.2I per barrel, and this price should
be obtained at Corsicana. The Standard
Oil company owns the Corsicana refinery,
however, the only one at present in the
field in this State. hence its ability to
keep down the price of the raw product.
Another significant fact in connection
with this matter is that while the Stand
ar OIL company pays s1.27 per barrel for
crude oil in Pennsylvania 1t sells the re-
fined article at from 6 to s cents a gal
lon there. In Texas. where 1t pays but
rs cents a barrel for a better quality OF
crude oil, it charges from ~ to Is cents a
gallon for the refined article. Thus II
for the raw product in Texas, II charges
twice as much for the refined article as
it does in Pennsylvania. And this will
continue until opposition renneries are
put up in the State. The Inauguration of
the Southwestern Oil companys refinery
at Houston has already caused Corsicana
crude oil to 60 up % cents barrel and
the starting of other refineries at other
points will make II pass the dollar line.
AS matter of fact. Corsicana crude oil
Is now worth $1.30 per barrel, and moth
ing but the Standard Oil companys man
ipulations keeps 1t below that figure
