has passed a resolution that no
teacher is to be employed in the
Petersburg schools who uses tobac-

1-A singular development Of

@rA singular development OF
the Reeves trial was that the ante
mortem statements Of Gardner and
Cox could not be found anywhere.
Clerk Eckert says he never saw
them, and could not tell where they
we're. J. L.. Brett, who was pres
ecuting attorney when the murders
occurred, testified that he wrote
them Just previous to the deaths Of
the men. They should have been
with the indictments filed, but were
not. Who was interested enough to
dispose Of them? That's the ques-
ton. For the protection Of officers
the Clerk should be provided with a
small safe, to which no n should
have aces outside of the officer
and deputy, to keep such papers in
safety.

DEATH WARRANTS OF
 wINTON AND BEDDING
Papers Signed and Details for Double Execution Are Being Arranged.
 Men Repel Ministers.

Death warrants were signed yesterday morning for Jim Winton and Will Red ding by Clerk !. D. Bradley of the Grim inal Court, and the two men will hang Friday before noon. The warrants were sent to Sheriff Burgin for execution, and he has now completed all the arrange ments for the hanging with the excep- tion of the erection of the gallows, which will take only a short time.
 The first of the two condemned men to die will probably be Bedding, the trap being sprung as near 10:30 o'clock as pos sible so that the double execution may be finished before noon.
 Only a few persons will witness the hanging, the law limiting the number Those present will be the sheriff, his dep- uties, the policemen, doctors, jafler, news paper men and few others who are necessary to aid in arranging the details. There will also be ministers in attend ance to attend the condemned men should either of them decide 10 relent before they pass into eternity. So far neither of them have shown the slightest inclination toward religion, and have refused all the advances of preachers.

COFFMAN SAYS HE SHOT
 METHODIST MINISTER
 TO SAVE HIS OWN LIFE
Testfes That Bradford Sent for Him and That Desperate Struggle Ensued When He Reached the House-CaimS
 Deceased Hit Him With an Iron Shoe Last
M. p. LEWIS,

put him out of the house and hitting him with the last. They got to the front door and he was partially out of it, the only thing remaining On the inside of the door being his right foot and arm. He claims that the deceased closed inc door on his arm and leg. The witness then fired two shots in downward direction. Then he states the minister raised the last to hit him over the head, and he fired the third shot, which penetrated the preachers head.
 He Identifies Bullets.
 Eugene Hawkins at the morning ses- sion identified two bullets as the ones lying near the body when he arrived. The battered one, he said, had blood on 1t when found. He heard but three shots, two first and then one. He did not think the bullets could have teen in the position he found them had they been fired through the door. He was tie last witness for the State.
 James Pool testified that he heard three shots, but that he was about 200 yards from the scene. w. A. Hunt then testified that MT. Bradford had requested | him to tell MT. Coffman to come around to his house. He had done so. and Golf man went immediately to Bradford's s house.
 Marshal Sorrell of Brookside tstified that Coffman> had surrendered to f1m and that he had given him pistol lat the time He could not identify tho pistol handed him in court, but stated tfat the one handed him looked like the one in court. He stated that the pistol when given him by Coffman was loaded all round The one in court was also loaded all round. This evidence was thrown out.
 Carried Bradford's Invitation.
 Several other witnesses were intrpduced during the afternoon, but with the ex- ception of one who testified that De had carried the invitation of Mir. Bradford to MT. Coffman, none of the testimony was important, further than bearing on the places the deceased and accused were on the afternoon of the shooting.
 At o'clock the defense announced that 1t was through with it's testimony, and that it was ready to proceed with the argument. The attorneys for the State had another witness who they wished to put on the stand, but the court ruled that they were through with the prosecu- tion and could not hear from any more Argument in the case will begin this morning at o'clock

BRIZENDINE AND
 VEITCH ACQUITTED
OFFICERS ARE TRIED BY POLICE BOARD FOR BEING OFF BEAT WHILE ON DUTY-PETiTIoN FOR SALARY RAISE feNoRED.

officers Brizendine and Veitch were &C., quilted last night at the meeting of the police commission of the charges made against them of being of their beats more than fifteen minutes, by the unanimous vote of the board. It was shown by the evidence that the men were attending to duty and the entire matter was dismissed. The officers proved they had gone into a hotel in search of a suspicious person.
 Patroifnan Richardson was also to have been tried last night, but owing to sick ness in his family he was absent. The board gave officer Waldrop, who has been sick for nearly three weeks, half pay for the time, this being the ru1c
 Petitions for raise Of salary were made by Officers Penn and Marshall, but the board took no action. The commissioners .stated as the reason for not acting, that at every meeting some one of the officers asked for a raise, and that if they were to raise any they might as well raise all and be done with 1t. It was suggested that it would be better to give Chief Aus tin more men instead of raising the sal aries of those he has.
 Commissioner McCary said the position the police department had assumed to- ward the beggars and fakirs had caused some unfavorable comment and he wish ed to explain that the beggars referred to were those who made 1t a habit of go- ing from one town to another and doing nothing but begging. The fatirs were declared to be public nuisance and that Che ridai,ee was n naod one
 Commissioner McCary also called Chief Austins attention to the fact that there were several men with wagons going around the city taking old pieces of metal from yards, digging up hydrants and buying from little boys all the junk they could find
 He said they were really stealing, and that they should be arrested for it. He gave as an instance call which was paid to his home by one of them. He caught the man walking away from the house with pair of bicycle tires belonging to his sons wheel. The man had a wagon load of just such articles he had st tolen from around the neighborhood.
 Commissioner Parker asked that the law about piling up bricks and other such material on the sidewalks and streets without red light be enforced by the police. Personal experience in running into some of these obstructions was the reason given for the request
