agonized cries of widows and the
groans of the motherless and father

Yesterday it was stated that the
death list, based On a con servative es-

is now known that the estimate is en-
tirely too low and that In all probabi

Scofield is one vast morgue with un-
dertakers by ths score, busy at their
sad work. The bodies found near the
entrance are badly crushed and
bruised, as they got the full force Of

REPUDIATES THE STORY
On cross examination by Judge Will
COX Blacker denied the statement at
tributed to him In the Times to the ef-
feet that he had sprung from bed and
fired from a kneeling position. He
said that he had stated that he had
killed the negro Hull and he at first
supposed that he bad.
Policeman ]. R. Scott then took the
stand. Before he began his testimony
Judge Wilcox objected on the ground
thathe had been in the courtroom
during the testimony yesterday after
noon. Mr.. Dean explained that his evi-
dence had no connection with that of
any other witness and the obi lection
was Withdrawn.
Scott testified to having arrested
Corporal Dyson on the night of the
10Th. and also to the finding of the
body of the dead negro, Corporal
Hull.
On cross-examina5ion Judge Wilcox
tried to make Scott admit that he had
attempted to organize posse to at
tack Fort Bliss snd that he had asked
County Attorney Edwards to join him
in it. But the witness denied it.

Capt. Loughborough was then re-
called. He stated be had served In
the United States army twenty-five
years and had been In command ,of his
present company since November
1898. He served In Cuba and was with
the regiment at Ell Caney. The cap.
tain did not know whether the defenc-
ant was there or not but he believed
the records showed that he was.
In answer to questions by Mr.. Stan
ton the captain stated that until
October last he had heard nothiu
against Ripper and supposed his
reputation TO be good but at that time
there were some matters at the post
that showed him that such was not the
case. The captain was about to tell
what these matters were but there was
a simultaneous objection from both at.
cor nays for the defense. Mr.. Dean
called atteottou TO the fact that they
had themselves called it out.
The conrt decided that it would be
for the witness to tell ts,
however, and the captain then stated
that last October an officer came to the
post to arrest two men and Ripper ,Nac-
cording to the report Of Sergeant Davis
and others, was mixed up in what was
presumed to be an attempt to rescue
them. Had he known then what he

fine a dye that would transform a red fox
skin into a Russian sable as far as ap-
pcarance went. All his efforts were nuga-
tory and void, as the LAWYERS say, but he
would not give up the search. One day, less
than two years ago. he was busy over his
dye pots seeking the elusive alchemy He

years ago in October blossoms appeared on
the tree, and our servant girl called our at

the natural surprise of seeing apple bios
some in October, but the girl said it was
sure sign of death to some one of the fam

began to cry. We tried to quiet her by ridi-
culing her silly notion. but she insisted on
the sign being true.

two months my wife died. Then no more
blossoms appeared on the tree for three
years, and one day In October my mother
who had not been well, called my attention
to the tree blossoming again. and she said
it would be her turn next. l called her silly

would insist upon it. Within less than a
month she was dead. Since that time no
blossoms have appeared on the tree in Oc-

sibly there is nothing in it at all. but my
