A HITCH IN THE TRIAL.
One OF the Witnesses in the Lake
City Lynching Case, Who
Turned States Evidence,
Charged With Having Been
Convicted of Larceny.

Charleston, April 1.-THE
Lake City cases was continued IN
the United States Circuit Court
here today. The leading witness
ses examined were Lavonia Baker,
Rosa Baker, Cora Baker and
Lincoln Baker, members of the
family of the postmaster who was
lynched. Each of the witnesses
had been wounded at the time
Baker and his child were killed
by the mob. They described in
detail what they saw and heard
the night of the murder. They
awoke to find their home in flames.
Soon men began shooting intothe
building. Baker and the child
were killed and they, though
wounded, escaped from the house
and hid In the woods. The cross
examination brought out nothing
new.
A legal battle followed an effort
of the government tn put up Early
+. Lee, one of the men who has
turned States evidence. The de-
fence objected on the ground that
the man had been convicted of
larceny. The prosecution for
larceny followed closely upon his
giving testimony for the govern
ment and the claim of the govern.
mont is that it was instituted to
disqualify Lee in this case. Some
of the records Of the court In
which he was convicted cannot be
found. The court adjourned to-
day, pending further argument on
the eligibility of this witness.
The efforts of the district attorney
today was merely to prove the
crime; no attempt was made to
show the connection of the wit
nesses with it.

English and Americans Die
Together in Samoa.
BODIES BEHEADED.
New Fight in Samoa Makes the
Blood of two Nations Tingle
and is Said to have been
lncited by Germans.

Auckland, New Zealand, April
12-Dispatches received here to-
day from Apia, Samoa, dated
April 1st say that party of 1O5
American and British sailors we're
forced to retreat to the beach
after having been caught in am
bush on a German plantation on
that date. The expedition was
led by Lieut.. A. H. Fireman, of
the British third clase cruiser
Taurangs. Lieutenant Freeman
and Lieutenant Lansdale, of the
United States cruiser Philadel>
phia, and Easign j. r. Monahan,
of the United States cruiser Phila-
delphia, were left dead on the
field. Ensign Monahan remained
to assist Lieutenant Lansdale and
was shot in retiring. Two British
and two American sailors were
also killed.
The natives engaged were some
of Mataafa's warriors, about 500
in number. They severed the
heads of the British and .Ameri>
can officers who were killed.
Priests of the French mission
afterwards brought the heads into
Apia.
The manager of the German
plantation has been arrested and
detained on board the Tauranga
on affidavit declaring that he was
seen urging the rebels to fight.
Mataafa's loss was 40 killed and
a number wounded, these being
carried off the field by the rebels
when they retired. In previous
engagement Mataafa lost q killed.
while the Europeans escaped
without injury.
There is constant fighting with
the natives around Apia and the
life of no one on the islands is
safe. The Samoans say Mataafa
had on three occasions resolved
to surrender but that the German
consul, Herr Rose, advised him
not to do SO ard he now says he
will never give in but will fight
to the death.

special to Greenville News.

pPOSioi W NISeuNlllc news.
Charleston, S. c., April 12.-
District Attorney Lathrop put ur
his strongest witness this morning
in the Lake lynching case now
being heard in the United States
circuit court here.
j. P. NEWMAN, by his own ad
mission one of the two men who
set fire to the Lake City post Of.
flee, told the story of the crime
of which Baker and his family
were the victims. Newham is
now employed by the govern
ment in Washington and while he
stated on the stand today that he
could neither read nor write he
displayed more than ordinary in
telligence. He told his hor-
rible story clearly from begin.
ming to end, and though the at.
torneys for the defence made
every possible effort to tsngle
and confuse him, he stuck to the
ertial facts as he had Grst
sisted them in manner which
must have left an impression or
the jurors.
Newham said he had been in
vited to a meeting at Stokes stor,
in Lake City ON the Friday nigh
prior to the lynching. He found
there tie defendants Stokes
Goodwin, Epps, Lee, Whittake
and Singleterry. Stokes said the,
had to kill Baker but the meet
ing was not large enough to ac
then. They agreed to meet Mon
day night and carry out thei
purpose.
Members were assigned to g
out in the country to collect ,
crowd for that night. The part,
met again Monday. He RENE N
bers that Stokes, Goodwin, Lee
Epps, Webster, Ward, Alonzo
Rodgers and Singleterry were
present. They went to the pos
Office. He and Lee were assigne,
to set fire to the house while tn
others remained in front to shoe
Baker when the fire forced hin
out.
Lee started to back out bu
was finally prevailed upon to e
on. They poured oil on a pile O.
shavings and then the same Of
the sides of the house. Lee stucI
match to the place and it blaze,
up. AS the fire clim bed to tn
roof be heard the cries and scream
of the people inside. Then tn
shooting began, and he and LIE
turned and ran. They afterwarc
met the members of the origins
party at a neigh5oring church.
This is, of course but an out
line of the story which NEWMAN
told in the great ordeal. liz it al
but three of the prisoners at tn
bar, Kelly, Clark and E. Rodgers
are directly implicated in the con
spiracy and murder alleged in tn,
indictment.
