Charleston, W. Va. March 6.|Chief
Mine Inspector j. w. Paul, Governor
Atkinson and others left here tonight
for the scene of the disaster TO make
an investigation. Mr.. Paul stated that
n minefhad been In excellent condi-
ton andsif the explosion was caused
by fire damp, as reported, he was at a
loss to account for its presence. Mine
Inspector Edward Pinckney, of Mont
gomery, was Immediately wired to be-
gin an investigation.
The mine was last inspected on Octo-
Der "a, 1899 when 1t was found TO be
perfectly safe.
At a late our tonight, the most re-
liable estimate obtainable puts the
number of the victims at 125. So far
as could be learned there were thirty
seven dead bodies in the village to-
mine during the day, and there are
also parts of human bodies at different
places, mangled beyond recognition.
Most of the bodies that cannot be
identified or recognized have been plac-
ed in the large blacksmith shop, Civ
ing the shop the appearance of a horri-
BILE morgue.
The general belief is that the expIo-
sion occurred by contact with dust
when the miners entered with their
lights and that it was not due to fire
damp as has been currently reported
oil udy-
Nearly all the men employed in the
mine are white. only about one-fifth
being colored and most of the men
were married and had families in the
little cottages near the tipple Of the
great III
A special train arrived tonight from
Montgomery, filled with reporters
physicians, nurses and others and one
car contained caskets. After the ar
rival Of the train an order was sent
back to Montgomery for fifty caskets.
Another train arrived from Charleston
with physicians. caskets and relief
supplies. Still another train came in
from Hinton. but there is no need of
physicians and nurses, as the victims
are dead. There is great need of I'M
dertakers n expert mine workers.
The work of rescue is being continued
during the night and will be kept up
until the mine is clear.
The latest reports since midnight
are that there were only fifty miners
entombed instead Of 125. Only ten bod
les have been taken out so far, instead
of thirty-seven as previously reported;
but it is believed that all of the forty
still in the mine will never be found
alive.

HARLAN WHlTTAKER'S TRIAL.
Preliminary Investigation on Charge
of the Murder of Goebel.

Frankfort, KY, March ga crowd
which packed the Franklin county cir
cult court room gathered today to at
tend the examining trial of Harlan
Whitaker, the Butler county farm
hand, suspected Of being implicated in
the murder of Goebel. Several promi-
nent ladies were present. The charge
was changed from malicious shooting
TO murder. Whitaker was nervous.
Thirteen witnesses, all summoned by
the commonwealth, were called. The
first witnesses were John A. Miles, A.
Miller, Detective Armstrong, Constable
Davis Harrod and Policeman Thomson.
Wlngate Thompson. "a policeman who
took Whitaker to h Jail, said on the
way the prisoner cried out in his fear:
Don't let them mob me and I'll tell all
/ know about it, but l did not shoot
him."
Whitaker was held without bail for
the April grand jury.
F. w. Bowman, Of Hardin county,
testified that a half hour before the
ASSASSINATION he saw the lind Of
the second floor over the main entrance
to the executive building raised. He
could see only the arm OF the man who
raised the window n saw two men
standing further back. He said that
when Whitaker was arrested he rec
ognized the clothes he had on then and
those worn by the man who raised the
window. He said one of the two
men who was standing back from the
window at the time mentioned said to
the other: Damn it, we ought to
have killed the other two" This re-
mark, he thinks, had reference to the
judges of the court of appeals. The
description of the two men who are al
legged to have held this conversation
tailed with suspects who have been
under surveillance, but who have not
been arrested.
Silas Jones, the Whitley county sus-
pect, testified that he was in the ante
room of the executive office when the
| assassination occurred m from the
| sound he thought the shots were fired
from the office of the secretary of
state.
