IYKCH|NG At BR|NKLEY
Zallie Cadle, Who Killed Policeman
Cox, the Victim.
FIRST AFFAIR Of KIND IN TOWNS HISTORY
The Murdered Officer Was Endeavor-
ing to Pacify Cadle When Slam
lynching Deeply DepIored BY the
Citizens.

A special dispatch from Brinkley
states that on the night of the Sew
enth inst, for the first time in the his
tory Of that place a mob wreaked ven.
soance on prisoner His name was
Zallie C. Cadle, who murdered Po-
liceman J. C. Cox.
From the best evidence obtainable,
squad Of five or ten men visited the
calaboose between Il and o'clock,
forced open the outer door, broke the
cell lock and speedily wreaked bloody
vengeance upon the victim. Charlie
Simons, who was locked up in the cell
next to Cadle for completely in assas.
sinating Policeman Cox, says he was
awakened in the night by the electric
lights being turned out, and by the
noise of footsteps in the prison. He
at first thought the marshal was
bringing in another prisoner, but
presently heard them ask his fellow
prisoner, Cadle, how he felt He said
they seemed to have no trouble IN
opening the cell door and a scuffle en-.
sued. Then he heard a voice say,
Stand back, | am going to shoot"
Immediately three or four shots were
fired. Then he thought a scuffle oc.
Cured inside of the prison, and he,
Simons, heard one or two shots on
the outside, which, was all he knew.
Other evidence seems to show that
the victim broke away from his cap.
tors just outside of the prison, and
ran through the front gate of house
just across the street from the prison
on the west side and on to the back
Of the garden about coo feet, where
he was overtaken and evidently killed
by his captors.
a man living in the house hearing
shots fired and the noise Of tramping
feet got up and saw four or five men
running through the yard and imme.
diately heard four shots fired back of
the garden, where clots of blood. other
evidences of a struggle and the vic.
Tins hat were seen this morning.
From this spot the mob carried their
man about 200 feet east and swung
him to a telegraph pole near the
prison,
Coroner w. S. Chinault empaneled
jury and they rendered a verdict to
the effect that Cadle came to his death
by sun or pistol wounds at the hands
Of parties unknown, and that he was
afterwards hanged The body Of Cadle
shows four bullet wounds, one OF
which passed through the body from
right to left about six inchees below
the armpits. Policeman Cox was
man OF irreproachable character and
a splendid officer He was every.
body's friend, Just before he received
the fatal wound he was endeavoring
to get the two men, Cadle and Simons,
to get in their wagon and go home,
so rs not to get locked up, The
lyncblng IS sincerely regretted gen.
orally, yet the sentiment Ia that Ca.
dies death was deserved, although the
legal course is given preference by
everyone.

NATURALIZATION FRAUDS.
Judge Adams Sustains, in Part De-
murrer for Defense In the
ST. Louis Trials,

St Louis, Nov. l2.-Judge Adams
ruling upon the demurrer, filed in be-
half of the defense and argued by Judge
Krum who urged that all the counts in
all the indictments charging fraudu-
lent naturalization against Thomas f.
Barrett, John Dolan and Policeman
frank Garrett, made clear the follow
ing issues upon which the case will go
to the jury:
!. The guilt or innocence of the de-
PENDANTS may be determined only by
the fifth and ninth counts in the vari-
Gus indictments. These counts specify
that Dolan, Barrett and Garrett aided
and abetted in securing false naturali-
zation certificates, and that further
they assisted in unlawfully obtaining
citizenship papers
2. All of those counts in which the
charge is made that the principals held
forged certificates are dismissed, as the
court asserting to the contention OF
Judge Krum decided no evidence to
support them was offered by the gov
eminent.
g. Those ayerments Of the indict-
ments containing the charge that the
citizenship papers were procured by
fraud, in view of the fact that 1t was
shown at the trial that the applicants
had never gone to the court Of appeals.
There could be no fraud practiced,
Judge Adams held save against this or
some other court acting as the agency
Of the United States government in the
naturalization CT aliens,
With these propositions disposed OF
Judge Adams then ordered dismissal
of indictments Nos. 1912, 49l3 and 1926.

Her Day of Grace, So Far as The
Panama Canal Treaty is Con-
cerned, Has Passed.
FUTURE CANAL NEGOTIATIONS
WILL Be WITH STATE OF PANAMA.
The German Foreign Onice Has Of
GCia!!y Notified im as-ador Tow
err That the Report That Gcrmnny
Would Become Involved In the
Issue Is tnfounded.

Washington, Nov LIT is stated
here on authority that 1t is too late for
Colombia to make any effort to resur-
rect the canal treaty with the United
States, and beyond preventing a hostile
clash between Colombia and the new
republic of Panama, the proposed visit
of Gen, Reyes to Panama will be with
out result. The same authority points
out that the United States government,
having recognized Panama as an indie
pendent state, can not now proceed to
negotiate with Colombia on any terms
for canal rights in a state over which
colombia exercises no political con
troll, so any future canal negotiations
will be between the United States gov
eminent and the government Of Pana-
ma.
No German Heddling.
Mr.. Tower, our ambassador at Ber-
lin, has cabled the state department
that he has been requested by Baron
Richthofen, the German foreign secre-
tary, to inform the Washington govern
ment that the report that Germany in
tended to become involved in the 18TH
milan situation is entirely without foun-
dalton, and that nothing is known in
Berlin of the intention Of Colombia
70 appeal to Emperor William for as
sistance, as was alleged in a recent in
teryiew by the Colombian consul-gen-
eral at New York, Mr.. Tower adds that
he was further assured by the foreign
secretary in a most earnest and sin
cere manner that the question of Ger
many's interfering in Panama simply
did not exist.
TWINS Entirely Voluntary.
The statement is authorized that the
information conveyed to our ambassa-
dor at Berlin was entirely voluntary on
the part of the German government as
the interview of the Colombian consul
general at New York had been ignored
here. The action of the Berlin govern
ment is thoroughly appreciated by the
Washington government for, although
it merely confirmed what the depart
ment already knew, the moral effect OF
The reteration at this time Of Ger
