Sunday morning he suddenly cut DIS

these Gospel quotations:
"Eyery woman that prayeth or

even all one If she were shsven.
"For If the woman be not covered

theory as the cause of the killing, but
say there are two sides to the case, and
that there will be startling develop
ments at the trial. The Cannon famil,
will employ able counsel to assist in tn,

A SQUABBLE ABOUT HUMBERT.


A SQUABBLE ABOUT HUMBERT.
The chamber of deputies reopeued in
Rome yesterday with an immense
lhrong present. The tribunes were
draped with black. The president OF
the chamber, Signor Villa, made a me-
mortal address eulogiz ng the late King
Humbert. He was frequently ap-
plauded.
Signor Saracco, the premier, 1850
cated himself with the words OF Signor
Villa. The latter then proceeded to
read dispatches addressed to him
oy presidents of foreign chambers, az
.er which he announced that sew
eral deputies had made propositions
with the object OF rendering special
honor to the memory OF the late king.
Among these, he said, were proposals
that the chamber should remain draped
10 black for six months, that the bureau
of the presidency should present an ad
dress to King Victor Emanuel aud
Queen Helena and that the memory OF
the dead monarch should be conse-
Grated in an imperishsble monument.
Signor Turati, socialist, 10 the name
of his party, protested against the as
sassination, declaring that everybody
had right to live and that political as
sassination was useless.
This statement caused a sensation,
and when Signor Pantano, in the name
Of the republicans, made similar state
ment, adding that his group associated
Itself with the sorrow of the country,
tne declaration was greeted with cries
of "Ccocodiles !" Signor Pantano re

The uprosr then became deafeniog
and it was impossible to hear the furth-
or words of the Deputies.
When calm had been restored Signor
5aracco spoke in favor of the PROPOSE

adopted unanimously with the excep-

Lynched by Mob.

Gufport, Miss, Dec. 20.--Lewis, the
young negro who last night shot and
killed Marshal w z. Richardson, was
captured this afternoon eight miles from
town. A mob which had followed the
bloodhounds used to track the murderer,
Immediately took Lewis from the officers,
dragged him back to town and hanged him
TO a tree near the scene of his crime.
Lewis father was also captured, but
probably will not be lynched.
Early last evening Marshal Richardson
was eXpostulating with negro who was
demanding the arrest of a white boy for
some trivial affair. A crowd gathered and
Lewis in its midst. Suddenly he drew a
pistol and fired at the marshal killing
him instantly. He escaped from town,
but bloodhounds brought from the county
seat soon ran him down.
The posse is still pursuing the two
Lewis boys and their cousin. The trio
were in the vicinity of Wolf River today
and the capture is regarded as certain.
Intense excitement prevails at Gulfport
and some hot heads are talking of moving
on Mississippi City to take out and lynch
old man Alvin Lewis. AS a result of the
tragedy, the negro church at Gulfport was
burned last night.

of conspiracy to defraud the Government
in connection with former Captain O5erlin
NJ. Carter in improvement work in the
Savannah harbor, to the jurisdiction of

Lawyer Abraham J. Rose, for the de-
fendants, renewed his motion to dismiss
so much testimony and so many points
had been raised that he would sum up the
case chronologically. This he did. giving
& complete history of the proceedings
from the conviction of Carter to the pres
ent time.
The conspiracy charges against the de-
PENDANTS were then taken up by Mr..
Rose. He argued that there was no such
thing known in law as a continuous con-
spiracy as charged in the indictment. 1t
was a principle of law, he said, that when
an agreement had been entered into and
an overt act committed, the crime was
then consummated and the statute of linn
itations began to run He declared that
there was not a charge in the Indictment
that was not barred, under the cOnspir-
acy charged, by the statute of limitations.
Mr.. Rose did not finish his argument
and will continue it tomorrow. He will
be followed for the prosecution by United
States district attorney, Marion Erwin, of

as barracks have been destroyed.
The leaders of the projected autonomy
party have again visited the Philippine

elimination of few minor features. Per
sonally they approve the movement as a
forward step in the direction of the uiti-

Tillman Finds Chandler's Interest in 'Purel!
Democratic Quarrel Extraordinary.
(By the Associated Press.)

Washington. Dec. 2O.-In the open ses-
sion of the Seante today little business
was transacted. spirited debate was
precipitated over the resolution of Mr..
Chandler to discharge the COMMITTEE
on Contingent Expenses from further con-
sideratiOn of the resolution authorizing
an investigation of the Montana Sensa-
torial case. The exchanges between the
advocates and opponents of the resolu-
tion took political turn and resulted in
some lively colloquies. No action upon
the resolution was taken.
The Army Reorganization Bill was re-
ported by the Committee on Military Af-
fairs and Senator Hawley announced that
he would move to take it up tomorrow If
passed it will be sent to a conference
committee of the two houses.
In discussion of the Chandler resolu-
ton. Mr.. Jones (Ark). protested that
the resolution was a rebuke to the com
mittee. Mr.. Chandler said no politics had
entered into the commmittee's considera-
ton of the case. Both Mr.. Clark and
Mr.. Maginnis were Democrats and the
question involved the seating of one Dem
ocrat or another.
If this is purely Democratic quarrel,
suggested Mr.. Tillman Is. c., "then the
Senator's interest in the matter is rather
extraordinary.
Mr.. Chandler retorted that there were
not now enough Democrats in the SEN
