tion of voters In the Territory.
Mr. Tillman argued in favor of the
amendment proposed by him last Saturday
to substitute the suffrage clause of the
South Carolina Constitution for the provi-
sion relating 10 that subject in the pend
ing bill. He declared that the South Caro-
lima provision is much more lenient than
that proposed by the committee, in that it
allows q man to vote who could not read
and write, If he paid taxes on property
worth $500. He twitted the Republicans
with attempting to do that for which they
were blaming the people of South Caro-
lima.
When vote was reached on the amend
ment striking out the property aualitica-
ton, Mr.. Tillman demanded the yeas and
nays. saying that he wished to nut the Re-
publcans on record in the matter 1t re-
suited: Yeas, SO; nays. 1 (Mr. Platt of

4 Plea for Harmony.
Speaker Henderson made vigorous plea
for harmonious action and support of the
bill
II have talked with the President for
two hodrs" he said, with great impress
slveness, land l know that he would con-
slider that the defeat or the failure OF
this bill would be most disastrous thing

This statement was greeted with ap-
plause.

garding his election next fall. His re-
marks were greeted with loud applause.

Were they engaged in that kind of bus
mess that they had to make declara-
tions of innocence. Who's the accuser?
The wicked flee when no man pursu-
eth The language indicate that Billy
Henderson had been engaged in jobs
before. Billy Henderson had been the
friend and tenant of Tony and Dick.
They knew he was accused later but no
mention was made to the prosecutor
about where Henderson was. They
didn't come and say to the authorities:
Gentlemen you're on the wrong track.
This man was at my place that night
They didn't do that. That is what hon
orable men would have done.
Now in comes Tony. He is in the
saloon business over here. 1 want to
say / have no objection to the saloon
business IL it is properly conducted.
1t is made legitimate by the law of the
state. Billy Henderson had q wife and
babies in town that night but he sat on
chair by the stove to keep up the fires.
That's a new kind Of business, but it's
necessary to the alibi. And to make
sure the alibi will be preserved they
lock Billy in the saloon"
Now there's Tony and Bob Shaffer
leave Henderson in the place the night
before and there's Tony and Bob the
first thing in the morning. Doesn'
it appear strange? Gentlemen, this is
an alibi prepared for this occasion. 1t
will not bear the light of truth. Brother
Grant says throw off the testimony
of Simon Becker Why, or course, IL
doesn't corroborate.
"Dick Piero came and looked in that
night. oh, didn't Dick know anything
about this? He wasn't called to the
stand. Was counsel for the accused so
nauseated with the alibi that they
didn't want any more Piero in it? l
don't know. This alibi has no element
of truth in it. If you are to be deceived
by any alibi like that, you would better
tear this court house down or turn II IN
to an alibi factory"
Mr.. Pomerene said in closing that he
and the prosecutor had done their duty,
and he asked the jury to do their duty.
1--WE want such a verdict in this CASE
said Mr.. Pomerene, "aS Will deter others
from doing crimes of this character.
When you have done that, and not until
then, will the people Of Stark county
say to you, Well done, good and faith
full servants of the law"
Mr.. Pomerene was congratulated at
the close of his mastery address. Sew
eral friends and attorneys at the bar
shook his hand and warmly commended
his effort.
"It was a great argument" said
Judge Baldwin as he took the hand OF
the man who, more than any other, Is
responsible for ferreting out the details
of the awful crime for whose perpetra-
tion William Henderson has been on
| trial.
"A very fine argument" supplemented
James ]. Grant, also counsel for the
accused.
That same argument might mean the
death chair to their client, but it's con-
suming force and eloquence wrung from

COLUMBUS LETTER.

Columbus, March 31.-Representativ
J. B. Snyders bill to establish a special
school in the townships of Marlboro,
Stark county, and Randolph, Portage
county, was amended and passed by the
house this afternoon. The amendment
strikes out the clause embracing Ran
dolph, Portage county.
Mr.. ]. w. Taylor, a merchant of New
Baltimore, has been in the city working
in the interest of the bill. He will re-
turn home Friday. Concerning the bill
he talked as follows to your representa-
tive: 1.-THE bill provides for the con-
solidation of three sub-districts in New
Baltimore into one special school dis
trict. The people of Randolph petitioned
us to include that township in the bill
for the special district and we acqui-
esed to this. Meanwhile reports were
circulated that there was an indebted
ness of $1,000 on our schools and when
the residents of Randolph heard this
they concluded they did not want to
consolidate with US. The reports were
untrue. We made it possible for Ran
dolph township to secure school advan-
tages she does not possess, and 1t Is
not our fault that the bill as passed
uoes uol llCiuue tHdl IOWHSHlp III tne
special district.
Mr.. Taylor said that the pupils of
the New Baltimore district were taken
to and from school in covered wagon,
at the expense of the board of education.
This arrangement has been in effect for
three years and has been entirely salts
factory. The attendance has been In
creased so per cent and tardiness Is
almost unknown. In the winter the
wagons are heated by oil stoves
This plan has been in operation in
some of the northern counties of the
state for several years. The New Balti-
more schools are maintained by levy
of four mills.
Representative Pollock's bill requiring
| clerks in all villages OF over 500 popula-
| tion to publish annual reports in news
papers. was reported upon favorably by
the house committee today. Mr.. Pollock

JURY ADMONISHED.
Asked to Stay Away From Places
That Were Subjects OF
Testimony.

Judge McCarty is delivering to the
jury the customary admonition as to
their conduct while not In the jury box,
made a pointed reference that may or
may not have meant something. The
court said that the jurors should not
talk among themselves about the case
nor to any one else, nor permit any one
to talk about 1t in their presence or
hearing. Then he added in what might
have been a significant manner, that
he didn't want any juror to visit any
person who had been in any degree a
party in any controversy, nor to go any
place that has been a subject during the
trial Of the case. He said that this was
imperative and that he did not want
the jury, after an expensive law suit,
to make any blunder about their con-
duct that would make their verdict not
worth the paper on which 1t was writ
ten. Whether the court had anything
specific In mind cannot be known, but
he said he had confidence In the jury
and that he had allowed them to sepa-
rate during the trial because of the
confidence he reposed in them. He
might have. under the statute, kept the
jury together, in the charge of the
sheriff, throughout the whole trial, but
he did not wish to inconvenience then
and relied ON their honor entirely te

Another Tells Juror Lindsay That
The Gseg Means Busi-

Judge McCarty today gave out the
letters that had been sent to jurors in
the Henderson case. He gave them out
with the stipulation that they not be
printed till the case was given. to the
jury, SO earlier editions of the News
Democrat did not carry them. The let
ters were not written by the same per-
son. Both were written with q lead
pencil. They We're mailed at the same
hour, the postmark on each envelope
being Canton, Ohio, March 20, 1900,
$3.50 a. m" The jurors got the letters
when they went home at the noon ad-
journment.
LETTER TO. COCK.
The letter to Juror Charles s. Cock
was written on the back of an envelope.
1t was brief scrawl and read as fol-
lows:
Canton, O., March 29
hereby notify you that If you plugs
find Henderson guilty we will fix you"
This was unsigned and there was
nothing about it anywhere to give 1t a
clue.
LETTER TO LINDSAY.
The letter received by Juror George
G. Lindsay was in the same kind of an
envelope as the other, but the hand
writing was not the same, nor did it ap-
pear that the hand was q disguise of
the one that penciled the epistle to
Juror Cock. 1t was written on a piece
of white letter paper. The letter to
Lindsay read as follows:
Canton Ohio.
/ will let you know that If you want
to save yourself from having something
done you had better try and let that
man Henderson free. We mean busi-
ness"
There was no signature to this letter
and, like the other, there was nothing
to show who had written it.
During his argument in the case
Judge Baldwin referred to these letters
and denounced them as the work of a
contemplate coward. He said the de-
fendant certainly could have had moth
ing to do with 1t.
