LAWRENCE TO JUDGE MOORE
Says He Invited Howard and Powers to
Dinner. but the Judge Was
an Intruder.

Frankfort, KY, Dec. 7-County
Jailer Martin Lawrence, who was
criticised by County Judge j. d.
Moore for having Caleb Powers
and Jim Howard at his residence
for dinner, is out in a salty re-
ply. He admits having the pris-
oners as his guests at his home
for meal, but says that Judge
Moore was an intruder, and not
invited to the house. He defies
the judge, and says that he is
alone responsible to the people.
The jailer's card reads:
81 did invite Caleb Powers and
James Howard to take dinner at my
house, also Mrs. Howard and her
aunt. Judge Moore was not an in
vited guest, but came in during the
meal. He was invited to take din
ner andEaccepted the invitation then
and there. Whether it be in keep
ing with his dignity and official po-
sition to accept ones hospitality and
then abuse it, will let his constitu-
eney and the county bs the Judge. 1
am answerable alone to the people
for my conduct. After men have
been convicted for offenses, in which
politics did not enter, and confined

fort, and without comment. II 1t be

Motion to Make Permanent Re-
straining Order Against the
Unionists in Reinecke
Case.
POSTPONED FRIDAY BY
ABSENCE OF JUDGE yosT
Bob Thomas and Everett Jennings
Offered String Of New
Affidavits.

Louisville, KY. Dec 1.-THE
motion to make permanent the
temporary order restraining j.
ID. Wood, and others from inter
fering with the rights of the
Reinecke Coal company of Web
ster county came up in the fed
eral court yesterday morning.
r. Y.Thomas and Everett Jen-
nings appeared for the union
miners. Helm, Bruce and Helm
appeared for the Reinecke Coal
company.
At the outset Mr.. Thomas Of
fered affidavits on behalf of the
miners to the effect that they
had been unlawfully driven from
their homes, and to the effect
that they had at all times acted
within their legal rights.
Hon. Lige Sebree, of Ovens
boro, was present during the ar
gument. He represents the st.
Bernard Coal Company. This
latter company has also suffered
from the alleged depredations of
the miners, and not getting re-
lief from the State government,
recently incorporated in another
State in order that it, too, might
seek relief in the federal courts.
Mr.. Sebree said yesterday: 81
have not filed any papers in the
case yet. l may do so this af-
ternoon as the cases of the Rein
ecke Coal Company and the ST.
Bernard Coal Company are very
similar. y
While Mr.. Helm Bruce was
looking over the affidavits filed
by the attorneys for the union
miners Judge Evans called at
tention to a letter and an affi-
dayit from Judge w. III. Yost,
one of the attorneys for the min
ers. Judge Yost begged a con-
tinuance on.account of a rising
in his throat. The attorneys
for the plaintiff made no objec-
tion and the case was continued
until Thursday, December II.
In the meanwhile the temporary
injunction will remain In full
force.

Booker T. Washington, the IA

KNIGHT BOYS ARRESTED
House surrounded by Officers Posse in
Early Morning in South Hopkins.
JAILED AT HopKINsWLLE
IN ABSENCE OF BAIL.

Hopkinsville, Ky., Dec. T.
Deputy Sheriff Charles Barnes,
of Christian county, and Deputy
Sheriff Dick Rogers, of Hopkins,
surrounded the house of Ed
Knight, in Hopkins county, with
twenty possemen, at 5 O'Clock
this morning, and captured Bud
and Bert Knight, under indict-
ment on eight counts for kuklux-
ing and malicious shooting and
wounding in connection with the
Empire mining trouble.
Bert Knight is twenty-five
years old and his brother
eighteen. The bail was fixed at
$500 and both were landed in
Jail.
They are accused of being i'm
plicated in the first attacks made
on the miners at Empire. 1t
will be remembered that on Mon
day night, Sept. 30, a party of
non-union miners were fred up
on from ambush as they were
leaving the mines. About thirty
shots were showered about the
men. One of the miners, Tom
Bell, COL, was shot in the leg.
The miners ran and made no eff
fort to resist the attack. Tues
day night the non-union mems
homes were fired into by un-
known men, and the few guards
then employed by the Empire
company returned the shots.
About fifty shots were fired on
each side and the attacking party
AL Burton, one of
the miners, was struck in the
head by bullet. Richard Holt's
hat was shot off, and there were
many narrow escapes from death
by the invaders bullets.
On the following day, wit
nesses appeared before the grand
jury, and as a result Of their tes-
timony, Bert and Bud Knight,
well known young union miners,
were each indicted twice for ma
licious shooting and once for un-
lawful conspiracy to intimidate.
Numerous efforts were made to
arrest the Knights, but failed.
The brothers were chased once
by a party of guards across the
county line, but they

BERRY HOWARD
ARRESTED
Protests His Innocence Of the Charge Of
Completely in the GoebeI
Murder.
NOW IN JAIL AT FRANKFORT

Frankfort, KY, Dec. BERRY
Howard, of Bell county, is now
a prisoner in the Franklin coun-
ty Jail. He was brought here
yesterday by Sheriff Broughton
and deputies and placed in pris-
on. The sheriff was accompan-
led here by Deputies Richard
Slusher, Brentley Smith and
Matt Green, who came armed
with Winchester rifles. The trip
was without incident, though
the sheriff's party heard rumors
all along the route of rescuing
parties of friends of the prisoner.
At only one point, Corbin, Whit
ley county, did any large num-
Der of people congregate at the
railroad station, and no violence
was attempted by these.
Howard was assigned by the
jailer here to quarters on the
third floor of the Jail, in the
same section with Caleb Powers
and Jim Howard, who were in
dicted with him. When seen
Howard was sitting in the cell
of Jim Howard who is his rela-
tive. He said: 81 am not
guilty of any offense against the
laws of the State, and demand a
speedy trial. Ibelieve 1 can Sc
cure fair trial now, and that l
can demonstrate that I had no
hand in the crime. Ihad nothing
against Senator Goebel. l served
with him in the General Assem-
bly, at the session of 1923, and
he was my friend. He assisted
many times in legislation for my
district and section of the State"
Howard has wired friends in
Eastern Kentucky to come here,
and, upon their arrival will en-
gage counsel.
There will not be time at the
January term of the Franklin
Circuit Court to try Berry How
ard. 1t is probable that he will
have hearing upon the question
of bail at the January term.
The case will be docketed at
the approaching term to stand
for trial at the April term, and
barring unforeseen delays, Will
be tried then.
The officers who brought Berry
Howard here say that all they
knew of the rumored bold at
tempt to rescue the prisoner by
backing the train to Middlesboro,
was that the newsboy told them
that two men had drawn a pistol
on the conductor and tried to
compel him to back the train.
Berry Howard does not seem
in the least doubtful of being
cleared of the charges against
him.
The prevailing impression that
Berry Howard is a near relative
of Jim Howard is a false one.
The two men are distantly re-
lated, and both say that they are
only slightly acquainted.
Berry howard is we'll known
here. He served through the
'long term" session of the legis--
lature ten years ago as a Demo-
cratic representative.
There is great deal of gossip
to the effect that Berry Howard
will not be tried at all, but used
as a witness.

shed at NJ, the western termi-
nus of the B., x. & N. railroad,
ready to bear its load of human
freight across the wide, level
prairie to the city of l., one
hundred and fifty miles away.
Engineer Tom McGinnis was In
charge of engine 102, and as he
oiled his engine preparatory to
the start, Conductor Barksdale
said to him:
"Tom, we will be about one
hour and ten minutes late out of
here. Do you think you can make
it up before we get in? / would

any chance.

Tomorrow is Christmas and
also my wedding day. Don't you
fret, the 102 is a cracker jack,
and | am not like a man that
won't run for all she is worth. -
AT IL: 45 No. 81 steamed out
out of the yard, and as soon as
they we're clear of street cross
ings and switches, McGinnis pull
ed her wide open and the old ma
chine was soon making fifty miles
an hour. This was one of the most
important runs on the line and
only made five stops on the run.
In short time the switch lights
at G. were seen blinking in the
darkness and the red eye of the
semaphore signal was brightly
shining over the Office. The en-
gineer blew for the signal. 1t
did not change, and with one
short angry blast the painting
monster was brought to a stand
still. McGinnis climbed down
off of his engine, saying to his
fireman:
"That's the way with these
wooden-headed dispatchers. If
a man starts out late, they will
stop him at every telegraph Of
fee on the road for an order"
They received an order at this
station to run 30 minutes late and
as they were leaving the office
the dispatchers told the operator
to tell them he would probably
have to put out an order at
Rock Springs to get No. go.
there for them, but by the time
the operator caught the drift of
what he wanted the train was
pulling out and the engineer
never got the word.
Rock Springs was a small
way station where passenger
trains were seldom stopped for
orders and then only in cases of
emergency. However, the fol-
lowing order was put out there
for No. 81 and put out at the next
station for freight train No. go,
east bound:
mo. 81, engine 102, and No.
so, engine 607, will meet at Rock
Springs. No. 81 gets this order
at Kock Springs.

afterwards learned had been mp
all the previous day. When he
received the order for 81 he had
been asleep and the dispatcher
had called him for ten minutes
before being able to raise him,
and as soon as he did receive it,
leaned back in his chair with his
feet on the teble and went to
sleep again.
When the laundering express
train dashed into the station a
few moments later and whistled
for the board he woke up with a
start and pulled his signal white.
The engineer answered with two
snort blasts and the train sped on
to destruction through the dark
ness and gloom of the night. Be-
fore the red lights on the rear of
the train had disappeared the
operator discovered the order, but
it was too late now, and there
was no power on earth to avert
the head-end collision. The heavy
freight train was hurrying on at
full speed in order to give the
limited express as little delay as
possible.
They met in a curve one mile
west of Rock Springs. When
McGinnis saw the headlight of
the opposing engine dash round
the curve he was only a short dis
tance away, and, although he re-
versed his engine, put her on sand
and applied the emergency, it was
too late. The iron monsters
crashed together, the mail-ex-
press car and first coach tele-
scoped and sixteen cars of No.
COS train were piled up as high
as the telegraph poles. The
wreckage caught fire and began
to burn tiercely. The shrek Of
escaping steam, the shouts and
calls for help and the groans of
the wounded pinioned under the
burning cars were pitiful and
heart breaking. The engineers
on both trains were instantly
killed and a score of passengers
on 81 were killed and wounded.
The loss to the company-in-
cluding motive power, passenger
equipment and damage suits
amounted to something over one
hundred thousand dollars; chill
dren were made orphans, wives
made widows and lives were lost,
all because telegraph operator
was asleep on duty.
Christmas day, 1897, dawned
bright and clear. Every one in
the thrifty, bustling, western
town of NJ were early astir.
Pedestrians greeted each other
with a happy smile and shouted,
GA Merry Christmas!" as they
passed. The small boy was in
his glory and tossed the mischief
firecracker with equal
impartiality in bucket of cram
berries or a keg of powder.
But the happiest heart in all
this town was that of Susie Win
thrope. This was her wedding
day, and she was to be married
to the handsome Tom McGinnis,
one of the most popular engineers
on the road. An unconscious
blush flushed her fair cheek and
subdued excitement sparkled in
her eyes, as she went gaily about,
putting the last touches on her
bridal dress.
Poor Susie! You will soon
know the worst. The round.house
caller is now standing at your

the sad fate of your lover. And
