lister stoutly maintains his innocence
and declares that the counterfeit was
given him by someone who asked him
to change the bill. The figures from
a Confederate ten-dollar note are past
ed over the numbers on the face of a
genuine one-dollar greenback. The
moment Karesh looked at the bill
when it was handed over by the
preacher in payment for some goods
he detected the fake. He went out and
called in Policeman INLAND, who took
charge Of Smith. At the station
house the minister told a straightfor-
ward story about how he came by the
counterfeit, but he allowed a very
damaging statement to slip into the
narrative. He said that he was in a
crowd when somebody dropped a pock-
etbook. A young Negro standing near
him put his foot on the wallet and
stood on it until the loser was lost in
the jam. The preacher said he asked
the finder where he came in on the
deal for not squealing. After time
Smith. so he says, gave the other Me-
gro five dollars and took the counter
felt ten for his part. When asked If
he didn't deem it his duty as minis
ter Of the Gospel to warn the loser Of
his Ill luck instead Of dividing the
spoils with the stranger, Smith ap-
peared confused.

straw was piled about his body and
saturated with coal oil and the whole
set on fire. He made no cutlery when
the flames first reached him, and only
when he was partly consumed did the
spectators notice any movement on his
part He made no resistance when
peing bound to the stake and said he
deserved his fate. Mrs. Ball while
Waiting on the negro in her husband s
store, turned her back, when he seized
her and dragged her out into the road.
He beat his victim with pine knot

money in the cash drawer. Mrs. Ball
recovered consciousness and crawled
to her father-in-law. He gave an
