An officer Of the Wabash said:
plans are being considered for such
a company to give Mr. Gould better
grasp on the railroads in which he
is interested. The plan will not fol-
low exactly that of the Northern Sc

The negroes We're to hang for the
killing of Doc McGhee in the early
part of 1901. They were convicted
in the Lincoln circuit court March u,
1902, and sentenced to hang April %,
1902. Their cases were appealed to
the supreme court, which acted as a
stay of execution, and they were not
hanged. The supreme court affirmed
the decision of the lower court and the
governor fixed February 13, as the date
OF execution.
Wednesday Green made a confession
in which he said that he alone killed
McGhee and that he did so because
Jennie Stennett had told him that
McGhee was carrying a pistol for
him. This put a new phase to the
affair and created a great sensation
here.

Murphy's Skinning of Davis

For two hours last night at the Cap
ital theater Attorney General George
w. Murphy defended the four mem
bers of the penitentiary board whom
Gov. Davis opposes and attacked Gov.
Davis says the Little Rock Gazette.
! Col. Murphy planted himself on the
proposition that, owing to the charges
the governor had made against the
board in connection with the peniten-
tiary farm purchase, either the four
members of the board or Gov. Davis
should be impeached.
Col. Murphy went over the whole
history of the penitentiary matter and
got to the most sensational part Of
his speech by taking up Gov. Davis
contingent fund. He mentioned first
the item of S25, which the governor
drew to go to inspect the farm offered
the board, about which the governor
made a statement in yesterdays Ga
zette He charged that long distance
telephone messages have been sent
from the governor to members of his
family and wee versa and from Pri-
vate Secretary Jacobson to members
of his family and to others and vice
, versa.
While every seat in the theater was
taken. the audience was more remark
ty. And it was anti-Davis through and
through. The slightest adverse refer
ence on the part of the speaker to the
governor was sufficient to bring a
! burst of appaluse.
If any one had gone to the theater
| to hear Cal Murphy simply hurl in
! vectives at Governor Davis, that one
was disappointed. At the opening OF
his address he said that he would not
deal in invective and denunciation
What he did do was to give cold
clear and deliberate exposition of the
penitentiary matter and follow IL WltI
charges that Gov Davis had improp
erlv used his contingent fund.
All day long yesterday the box of
fico of the theater was besieged by
people wanting tickets, which were
given out early, and when they did
