HUMPHREYS LYNCHING CASE
WEEKS AND GREESHAw WERE
PUT on THE STAND.
Were subjected to Severe Cross
examination by Counsel for the
Observation-Disclosures Introduced.

Palestine, Texas, December t5-The
taking of evidence in the district court in
the case of Ed Cain. alleged accomplice OF
James HUMPHREYS. was resumed this morn
ing Interest on the part OF the public is
increasing daily and todays proceedings
were listened 10 by large number of
ladies in the audience.
Polk Weeks was placed on the stand
when court opened and put through
most severe ordeal by counsel for de-
fendsnt. they holding him until the noon
hour Witness is suffering from very sore
ewes and it was with some difficulty that
he identified Ed Cain and failed 10 re-
coenize his signature to a statement made
By him before Justice OF the Peace Gar
ret who held the inquest over the BODIES
OF the three HUMPHREYS last May. This
statement conflicts with his testimony
given at the examining trial before Jus
tice AVeritt, had at Athens Henderson
county, last June. His testimony today,
however, is in substance the same as mat
given at Athens.
In reply TO counsel for defendant he
stated that at the inquest he was afraid
of becoming implicated and only when
informed that one of the other defendants
had made a statement did he conclude 10
make clean breast OF the Wnoie matter
throwing himself on the mercy OF the
court He now declares that his evidence
is true in every particular.
/ Arthur Greenhaw, who also has turned
States evidence, was the next witness. In
his testimony he duplicates all the men
under charge. He holds, however that
up TO the very time of the lynching he be-
lieved that the homes OF the Humphries
were to be searched for James Patter-
son and that the three Humphries were
only taken from their homes to prevent
them from giving Patterson warming II
the latter proved to be about. and that
they were to go with the crowd to search
the home of another man.
Counsel for the State, Judge Morris, Win
great feeling exclaimed: Why In the
name of God, when you realized that the
men were to be hung. did you not en-
deavor to prevent it?' Witness made no
reply.
Jim Sullivan OF Athens, j. A. Bell and
Justice of the Peace Garrett followed In
respective order. The nature of te1ti"
mony was to show that a conspiracy ex-
listed aud that certain of the men arrested
were principals to the crime.
Court adjourned until Monday afternoon,
giving attorneys and foreign witnesses an
opportunity to visit their homes.
