MISSISSIPPI MATTERS
What Has Happened Through

Jackson, Miss, Jan. 81. 1t has been
proved beyond hardly any question Of
doubt that the penitentiary lnvestiga-
ting committee will not be able to
substantiate the grave charges of cor
ruption and mismanagement brought
against Warden Parchman. This has
been brought out clearly in the sosti-
mony of the twelve witnesses who
have been placed on the stand, none
Of whom have adduced evidence of an
ABSOLUTE nature detrimental to the
character or official conduct of the
warden The testimony of Commits
sioner Kincannon, on which the COM
nittee had hoped to prove much, was
largely of hearsay nature and seemed

sonal prejudice, while that of the
otther witnesses has been wholly in

Greerville. Miss. Jan. 3l.-The
time of the court in tho Cooke and
Lauderdale murder trial during the
morning session was taken up entirely
oy the attorneys for the defense in
,eading their plea for continuance,
and having brought before the court
10. T. Licon and ". G. Cooke, brother
of Ashley Cooke, to testify as TO the
,epataticn of DR.. French, who if
acre, would swear as to Ashley
Cookies insanity.
Mr. W. g. Cooke, the brother, also
testified that only through the wit
lesses named in the plea for continu-
lnce CT i'd 'his fact be established.
Att ney Dean took the stand and
swc IS to the statements made by
r rench, ard shown in the plea
tNrtignance.
The prosecution asked the witnesses a
few questions on the point at Issue,
and showed to the court that previous
to the time that J. A. Cooke received
Tho blow from which DR.. French said
nc became insane he was indicted and
sentenced 20 fine and imprisonment
FOR assault and battery with intent to
SiIl, from which it was reasoned that
be had always been q had man and
-llnt the lick did not make him that
way.
The negro section hand who they
,lnim saw the killing is a witness
they cannot go to trial without and
they thought if the case was contin-
ued hey could have him at the next
term.
At2 p. m. Attorney Jayne was on
the hoo- in support of his plea for
continuance, after which the State
was heard.
The plea for continuance made by
the attorneys for the defense set out
that ono Dr. W. A. French, a resident
physician of Senatobia, who Is now
unable to appear at this term of the
court on account Of in1rmity, would
testify if here, that Ashley Cooke sew
eral years ago was thrown from q
horse, striking his head; that this
blowyto his knowledge unbalanced his
mind, and that today he is mot men
tally responsible for his own acts; r.
W. Terry, o resident Of Tunica; Jul
ins Robinson, of Cleveland, ana Luck
McI'adden and DIR. Mitchell of the In
sane Asylum at jackson, If here,
would testify to the same effect.
Tho other plea for continuance was
that Charles Green, alias Jones, a
colored section hand who has not YET
been found, would swear that he was
in the train and in the car where the
shooting was done and saw Cooke try
ing to prevent the other two from
killing the man Rhea.
However, Judge Larkin ovorruloc
