having the private papers of the de-
fense. the court gave it back to
Rogers.
Stenographer George A. Campbell
was put on the stand and testified that
Sheriff Porter at the preliminary
hearing, said the horse tracks indicat-
ed the left hind foot had a new shoe.
He read from his notes of George
Gosnell's testimony, showing that the
witness added to what Cramblett said
while on the stand at this trial. The
State brought out that George Gosnell
was asked for the substance of the
talk. but the defense had inquired for
all.
Ex-Coroner Jno. A. Fisher testified
to finding wooden husking peg with
a leather strap on 1t, near where the
assassin's horse was said to be hitch
ed. Some one cut a measurement of
the horse track on stick off of lead
pencil with which he did measuring.
It may have been given to VIM. Chef
fey. The pen point on the pen holder
he found was not broken when he
found 1t, as George Gosnell said the
one was in Cramblett's pocket.
Mrs. 81 CrambIett Testified
to James Noble being there on We'd
nesday after the murder. The next
morning she said the locks of the barn,
corn crib and granary and loft doors
were broken open.
John Cramblett. aged So. father of
the defendant, said Quincy was his
youngest living child and is aged SO.
He remembered the Barkhurst musket
and it was last at his home two weeks
before the murder, when 81 got it.
Quincy helped ST get ready for his sale

ton over the line fence, leading down
to few days before GosneIl's murder.
The jury was allowed to go out while
it was argued The question was
whether in a
Case of Circumstantial Evidence
the declarations or threats of third par
ties who might have committed the crime
would be admitted in trial of the accus-
ed. Attorney Erskine said the defense
proposed to remove the question of doubt
against the accused by introducing this
evidence. They would prove that Rain
bow thought Gosnell back of the dispute
over the line fence. which the township
trustees finally built, and of threats Rain
bow made against Gosnell. They expected
TO follow it up with Rainbow's conduct
the night of the murder and his contra
dictory statements, 1--WE will put up a
stronger case against Rainbow than the
State did against Cramblett," said Attor-
ney Erskine.
Attorney Cook said: IF we are 10 d.
verge and so out on collateral questions
We would never get a case tried. The
proof must be confined to issues between
the parties. He quoted extensively from
authorities against admitting declarations
of threats.
Attorney Erskine read authorities and
one case had similar conditions to this.
He said: 1T would not be safe rule If
the
Defendant Could Not show
that others might have committed the
crime"
Attorney Rogers said. ''Any relevant
testimony going to create doubt in the
minds of the jury is admissible" 1t is
presented to d!sprove defendants guilt"
Attorney Lewis closed the argument
against admitting the evidence against
Rainbow after reading authorities. Each
one of the four attorneys found authori-
ties to fit his views, He closed by say
ing: I'VE are not afraid of the JEFF Rain
bow theory Judge Holl.ngsworth took

BODY OF MURDERED MIN
F|SHED FROM CREEK.
HE WAS FRANK DAVIS AND HIS
BODY HAD BEEN WEIGHTED
DOWN.
ANOTHER SNORT LINE MURDER
PEOPLE OF wETZEL COUNTY IN
DIGNANT OVER OUTRAGEOUS
LAWLESSNESS.


NEW MARTINSVILLE, w. Va,
Nov. yesterday morning Prosecut-
ing Attorney E. J.. Robinson was noti-
fed that a man had been found in the
creek above the Twin Tunnels, at Long
Point, on the short line railroad. A
stone was tied around his neck, and
every eridence pointed to foul play.
The man had been missing since
last pay day, Oct. 20. M. Robinson,
in company with physician from
Gown, went to the scene. The name of
the man found in the creek was Frank
Davis (colored). From being in the
water so long he was almost beyond
recognition. His skull was found to-
have been fractured or crushed in.
Since he has been missing man by
the name of Mitchell Dalton had pre-
sented Davis checks at a saloon for
drink and cash. He was at once sus-
pected of being the murderer and was
placed under arrest. A small strip of
goods Hlled into string was around
the sack that weighted the man down.
This strip was found to have been
torn from a handkerchief found in
the shack where Dalton slept, also in
his bed was found large lead slug
with string fastened to it.
The saloonkeeper who got the checks
from Dalton says that on Saturday
night, after pay day, Dalton with three
other negroes and Davis, left his sa-
loon to go to their shacks (they all
live in two little plank shanties).
The evidence was sufficient to hold
Dalton at the preliminary. hearing
At one time he made his escape from
the constable, but was captured, and
at the time there was some talk OF
lynching him. The constable and pros
iecuting attorney brought him in this
morning. On the way Dalton confess
ed that he knew all about the crime,
and says that he came on to three ne
groes whose names are Peter Jackson,
General Perkins and Alfred Caviner,
who were wading in the water where
the man was found at II o'clock at
might. He asked them what they
were doing, and they told him to
keep still; that they had tapped a
man, and that they would give him
part of the money if he would not
tell. They went to their shacks and
gave him $40. He agreed not to tell,
and they told him that if he would
keep still and follow them they would
have several hundred dollars before
the job was done.
There are now four negroes in Jail
charged with murder and robbery, and
the sheriff had just gone away with
warrants for three more. The white
people, regardless of political affilia-
ations, along the Short Line railroad,
are organizing for the purpose of driv-
ing the negroes out of the county, and
have notified the contractor of their
intention, and it is feared that unless
they leave in few days, there will
be serious trouble by a clash between
the whites and these degraded brutes.

day when Senator Vest was in the or
fce somebody introduced the two. The
youngster, unusued to greatness. was
30 much awed by Mr.. Vest that he
could not find words. The senator
took the young man by the arm.
Come" he said. starting for the ele-
vator, "are you going out?"
The young man was not, so far as
he knew, but the senator's persuasion
and gentleness changed his mind. Let
me see." the big, little man went on,

I met him last year when was max

AS the elevator went down the
youth regained some of his composure.
He managed to answer the sem
ator's question. At the bottom the
two stopped. There the senator, tilt
ing his hat over his eyes and putting
his hands in his pockets. leaned his
roly-poly form against the wall, and
began to ask questions:
Have you been in this town long?
Do you like the newspaper business?
Where did you go to school? Do you
know about your country's history? Do
you expect to become a great man."
In the course of ten minutes the young
man felt that he amounted TO some
thing.
Senator Vest has never been closely
allied to church. writes a Washing
ton correspondent. In Missouri the
senator's great following has not re-
garded him in religious relation; yet,
with all his apparent Indifference the
senator has long been a student OF the
Bible and most tolerant observer OF
religious faith and form in others. Two
years ago, Col. John Carroll. solicitor
for the Burlington railroad system,
while in Washington on business, call
ed on the senator at his home. Mr..
Vest sent word to have Col. Carroll
come up to his room. When the caller
entered he found the senator lying In
an easy chair with Bible on his
knees. He had been reading the
Twenty-third Psalm.
That's a beautiful thing, John" he
said; "and let me tell you-that's a
mighty fine book"
'T'd like to get a picture of you Just

Trnnncd hy His Hate.

A writer in Cassell's Little Folks
>tells an interesting story of a runaway
hippopotamus. In the days when Mr..
A. ID. Bartlett was king of the London
zoo the hippopotamus once managed
to break out OF its house. 1t employed
its freedom very properly to make
call upon Mr.. Bartlett The latter,
however, was not quite pleased to see
his huge charge out of bounds, and
sent for one of the elephant keep
srs to preach peace and sweet
reasonableness to the creature. To
this man the "hippo" had Ian ex-
treme dislike, and when he shorffed to
it it turned round and chased him.
Away flew the keeper at the top of his
speed toward the "hippo's" den, the
big beast in hot pursuit. The keeper
darted through the gate and up the
stairs to the platform over the "hip-
pos" tank. Here he was safe. Mean
while Mr. Bartlett, who had been fol.
lowing the runaways, had securely
fastened the gate, and the 'hippo"
was, of course, again doomed to Ian
guish in prison.

Mr.. Vest was educated at Center

that has graduated forty-four college
professors, twSnty-six congressman,
four United States senator's, seven gov
ernors, two vlce-presidents of the Unit

nine circuit judges.

Miss Sallie Sneed of Kentucky. The

a thought of becoming residents Of the
Mississippi Valley. The numbering We

While the stage passengers were
thus awkwardly waiting. an old negro
approached the young lawyer and ask

planned that he had a son who was
accused of murder. Feeling against
the boy was very strong and the faith

to stop and lend his assistance. Mr..
Vest concluded to allow the stage to
proceed while he undertook the task
of helping the negro and his boy.
When the trial was over the boy was
acquitted. A mob was speedily formed
the young man was taken from the
jail, and in little while he was dead.
Because Of his connection with this
case Vest was not particularly popu-
lar; and for this reason. as much as
