HELD FOR TRIAL WITHOUT BAIL
(By Associated Press


OXFORD. MISS, Nov. sN.-Yfill Mathis,
the murderer Of the two Montgomerys,
who gave himself UP last night to the
officers OF the law at dallas. twenty
miles southeast Of this place. was brought
here to-day by a posse. When first ar
rested Mathis confessed to having shot
the two NIontgomerys and gave a detailed
account OF the atrocious deed, which tai
lies with the confession made by the ne
gro, Orlando Lester, Mathis partner in
the crime.
Upon reaching Oxford Mathis volunta-
rily made {; statement before the coro-
ner's jury, which had been investigating
the case since Sunday last. He denied
having done the shooting, and said that
he held the lamp and a pistol While the
negro, Lester, shot the narshals.
Mathis said he regretted having burned
the bodies, but also regretted not killing
other parties who had attempted to arrest
him.
DEFIANT AIR.
Throughout the examination Mathis
maintained a look of unconcern and de-
fance, and answered unhesitatingly all
questions asked of him. AT the conclu-
sion of the examination District Attorney
hoane read a message from Judge Low
rey, Of Batesville, consenting to hold
special term of court and give Mathis a
trial at once. The prisoner was carried
to Jail safely without any attempt being
made by the large crowd assembled to
do him harm.
The coroner's jury declares the two
Montgomerys came TO their death at the
hands of Will Mathis, orlando Lester and
White Ovens The men Will be held in
jail without bail, George Jackson being
held without bond as an accessory to the
crime. Bill Jackson and Mrs Mathis VIII
be held as witnesses until they make suf-
f1cient bond for their appearance at
court.
Although the community has been great
ly wrought UP on account of the crime.
there has been no demonstration made
toward violence.

showed the superiority of the grand
father over the understanding principle.
He declared that if invalid at all the
grandfather clause was invalid on its
face, and If not, no conceivable method
of administration could render itiinValid.
MIR. WYSOR'S QUESTION:. z
Mr.. Wysor: Didn't You. at the first Of
this conventions, introduce a resolution
with nothing but a poll-taX and property
qualifications?
Mr.. Braxton: '.T believe I did.
Mr. Wysor: Now, if your grandfather
clause is declared unconstitutional, you
get your original resolution, don't you?'
This colloquv occasioned an uproar Of
laughter and applause, Mr.. BraNton join
ing heartily III it. He contended that if
a man who was denied registration ar-
peaied to the court, there would be no
question of discretion. but his ancestry
or his qualitica tons could be shown by
clear. direct and positive evidence. There
was no chance Of involving the judiciary
in any opportunity for fraud or favorit-

New Orleans. who was president of the

all efforts to test the constitutionalitr of

and that there was no doubt of its ie
sality. Mr. BraXton had not concluded
at 10 o'clock. and the conference ad-
journed until tonight, at which time he
will continue and probably conclude his
remarkably able and comprehensive
speech. He was asked great many
questions. and replied to all with courtesy
and frankness. The one put by Mr.. Wy

on the other hand have MADE a great fight
against its adoption. and after the COM
mittee had decided by a vote of six to
five weeks ago, to report it favorably, they
succeeded in getting a reconsideration and
another hearing. but the final vote will be
seen to have been unchanged. The resolu-
ton will undoubtedly cause great fight
in the convention, and some OF the ablest
leaders are expected to speak for and
against II. Now that cities have been ex-
enlpte6 the opponents of the resolution in
the county districts will claim that it is
class legislation. 1t is impossible at this
time to forecast the result in the con-
yention.

original utterances at Edinburgh as in

them to have been modified by the let
