OFFICERS DID NOT HISS
Story of an Alleged Incident at West
Point Denied.


WEST PoINT. N. Y, jan. 16-Wher
the congressional committee met at the
Military academy today, and before any
witnesses were called, Congressmax
Wanger of Pennsylvania addressed the
committeeman. Hereferred to the pub
lished reports of the kissing incident at
the close of the afternoon yesterday.
Mr.. Wanger said that In at least tive
newspapers army officers were charged
with taking part in this kissing. He
desired, however, to express his firm
belief that no expression of disapproba.
tion was made by any army officer pres.
ent at the time. He was pleased to hear
that Colonel Helm, acting superintend,
eut of the academy, had instituted
thorough inquiry regarding the matter.
Mr.. Wanger said the committeeman had
been treated with the utmost courtesy
by all the officers, and he would be sorry
should any erroneous impression become
prevalent throughout the country.
General Dick and all the committee
men concurred with the views of the
Pennsylvania representative, and the
matter was then dropped.
Cadet Birdie o. Mahaffey of Texas
who was a classmate of former Cadet
Booz, was called and sworn.
Judge Smith examined the witnesa,
and after pursuing Mahaffey s testimony
he said that the evidence given by the
witness this morning was in no way
different from the military courts re.

ANERICUS. GA, THURSDAY MORNING, JANUARY II, 1901
ACCIDENT CLAIMED
BY THE DEFENSE
To Have Caused the Death of
Jennie Bosschieter.
COCKTAILS AND ABsINTHE

Alleged to Have Been Drank by the
Unfortunate Girl, Which Threw Her
into a Stupor From Which She
Never Awoke.
PATERSON, n. j., Jan. 16-Interested
crowds today filed the approaches to
the room in which the court of oyer and
terminer is sitting for the trial of the
three alleged murderers of Jennie Boss
chieter, the mill girl.
The state having rested its case last
night, the days proceedings began with
the presentation by council of the case
for the defense. OF the three accused
men, Death most showed the strain
through which they were passing and
detection and extreme nervousness was
depicted on his countenance and move
ments. McAllister, on the other hand,
was comparatively elf-possessed, but
Campbell was evidently troubled and
anxious.
There is possibility of the defense
closing its case today and the trial being
concluded tomorrow with the summing
up and the judges charge.
Michael Dunn, in delivering his ad.
dress in opening the case for the de-
Tense, promised to prove that the death
of Jennie Bosschieter was not caused in
the commission of a criminal assault,
and also that the charge of wilful MUIR
der could not stand against the defend
ants.
Mr.. Dunn proceeded with narrative
of the events preceding the death of
Jennie Bosschieter, the purpose of it be-
ing to show that the meeting of the four
men, McAllster, Campbell, Death and
Kerr, was not prearranged and that the
girl made the first advances that opened
the way for the meeting at Saal's sa-
loon.
In the saloon, according to counsel,
the girl drank freely, taking cocktails
and absinthe. She became drowsy.
Then she was escorted from the saloon
to the hack, McAllister and Death walk
ing on either side of her. She was not
carried. the attorney said.
The narrative Of the counsel proceeded
with the ride in the hack to the place
where the girl died. She had become
unconscious, and the men lifted her
from the hack to the ground, where they
kneeled around her and made efforts
to revive her, rubbing her hands and
face. She was taken with nausea, and
the men used their pocket handkerchiefs
to wipe her face.
The hackman, counsel said, was mis-
taken when he testified that the accused
men assaulted the girl. Despairing of
succeeding in restoring the girl to con-
sciousness. the men put her back in the
hack and drove for aid to the house of
the nearest physician. The death of
Jennie Bossschieter, counsel said, was
accidental; her drink was not drugged
and her person was not violated by the
defendants. The misfortune that befell
her might, counsel said, fall to any other
girl under similar circumstances.

OUR LIVE STOCK
INTERESTS BOOMING
The American Hog a Power
In Europe.
CHEAP MEATFORWORKERs

The Cow, the Steer and the Pig Play.
Ing an Effective Part In the Struggle
of the United States For Industrial
Supremacy.
SALT LAKE CITY, Jan. 16.-At the
meeting today of the National Live
Stock association, Mr.. L. G. Powers
chief statistician in charge of agricul
ture at the census office, Washington,
spoke about "Wealth in Live Stock.
He said, in part:
1.-THE COW, the steer and the humble
pig are playing their part quite as eff.
fectively as the horse and mule in the
struggle of America for industrial su.
premacy. Our cattle and swine give our
people in the aggregate tremendous
power. The American hog, by furnish
ing cheap meat to the workers OF
Europe, is undermining the power OF
all old vest ed interests of the nations OF
that continent and will in time be a fac.
tor for topping over even the thrones
of the kings and the power of aristo'
cracy.
''Uur live stock interests, more than
our steam engines, occupy the seat OF
power. The situation is full of encour.
agement for the American people at the
opening of the twentieth century"

Raising Hogs.

QUESTION. By correspondent from
another state. Is it profitable to raise
hogs in North Georgia? 2. Will they
fatten if allowed to range through the
woods?
ANSWER, A great many hogs are
raised in North Georgia and, like the
beef of that section, find ready market.
2. During at least seven months of the
year they range the woods and grow fat
on acorns, chestnuts, hickory nuts and
such other food as they can pick up.
But of course, like any other stock, hogs
need the attention and care of man ia
produce the best results. State Agri.

BAKERS FIFTH RESPITE.
A New Lease of Life For Convicted
Wife Murderer.

Wife Murderer.
ATLANTA, Jan. 16.-"This beats the
record" GoYornor Gambler said yester
day as he signed the fifth respite for
James l.. Baker, the convicted wife
murderer.
Baker was to have been hanged on
Friday of this week, but the question OF
his sanity Is pending before the superior
court, the case having recently resulted
in a mistrial
Now Baker gets a further lease on
life until March /, in order that full
time may be given to prove or disprove
the claim that he is insane. At the re-
quest of Bakers attorneys, the governor
yesterday signed the respite.
Governor Gambler has passed upon the
case once. The prison commission re-
fused to make any recommendation for
clemency in Bakers case, and the gov.
ernor took the same position.
He told the attorneys who called on
him yesterday that if Baker is sane he
ought to be hanged, but if he is insane
the asylum and not the penitentiary is
the place for him. Governor Gambler
was very positive in his views of the
case and declined to yield from this po-
SitiOn.

DESPITE DlsPENsARY LAW
A South Carolina Town Gets Liquor
From North Carolina.


RUTHERFoRDToN, N. O., Jan. 16.-The
amount of whisky shipped into the town
of Rock Hill, S. c., from North Caro-
lima, by express, from Dec. % to the end
of the month, amounted to 32115 gal
lons-52 3 CATION packages, 239 1-gallon
packages and SO half-gallon packages.
The charges on this amount of whisky
amounted to about $104.65, and the cost
at an average price of 50. 50 per gallon
$803. This amount was independent of
the liquor in case shipped by freight,
the quantity perhaps being as great as
that received by express, and it is also
independent of the large amounts snug
gled in by wagons for the blind tigers.
One thousand and five hundred dol
lars is not an exaggerated estimate of
the cost of whiskies taken into that
town by train and otherwise during the
eight days ending Dec. 81. Indeed, it
has been estimated that the average
amount Of whisky taken into that city
is fully $50 gallons per week, or about
$500 gallons per year. This whisky is
consigned to individuals, but much of
it Is for blind tigers.
The shipments are entirely from this
state, and the dealers i'll this state re-
ceive the revenue, which must amount
to fully $4,000, furnishing a profit of
Sc, 900 annually. There is no dispensary
or barroOms in the town of Rock Hill,

ANEGRo's GRUEsoME DEATH

CHARLOTTE, N. O., Jan. 16.-Visitors
from Pineville yesterday gave the grue
some particulars of the death of negro
named Grier, which occurred in Provi-

He had set great store by cards and his
revolver. and he cried increasingly for
both. And he was gasping and strug.
Cling and begging for the cards until he
died.
The preacher in attendance-a negro
osopher-directed that the cards and
the revolver be put in Grier's coffin, al
a mockery of his last profane wish.
This was done. Grier's brother coveted
the pistol and cribbed it while the night
watchers dozed. He left the cards, this
considerate brother, and they We're

The medicine bottles from which
Grier had been dosed were put on TOP OF
