Lancaster Cor. News an6 Cou-
rier: Sheriff Hunter continues his
efforts to tathom the mystery sur
rounding the recent killing of Mr..
Ben l.. Blackmou, in this county
Only negroes Witnessed The homl-
eide, and they, until quite recent
ly, have been very reluctant to
talk about the matter, their mea.
gre statements throwing little or
no light on the killing.
Within the last few days, how.
ever, some OF those present have
talked more freely with the sheriff
and others. One of them, in fact, q,
Bill Gregory, has gone so far as
to give his version of the killing
in the. shape of an affidavit. And
two or the parties in Jail charged
with being accessories TO the muir
der have certified in writ ting to
the correctness OF Gregory S
sworn statement, which directly
contradicts the claim of Sandy
Evans, the man who did the
shooting, that he fired in self-de.
fepce-that Mr.. Blackmon was
beating him on his head with a
demjohn at the time.
Gregory swears, in substance,
that Mr.. Blackmon did not
strike Evans, nor did he make
any attempt to do so. Accord
ing to Gregory, all the parties
were in the house of Sebron
Miller, a tenant on Mr.. Black
mons plantation, when the
wife Of Evans said something
about his not coming home.
Mr. Blackmon remarked to her
that she was Jealous hearted, "
whereupon the woman cursed
him. With an oath gMr. Black
mon told her to Ego on" Evans
then said 81 don't allow no
- man to curse my wife"
Mr.. Blackmon walked out of
the house and said: "If you
want me you can get me-"
Evans came out on the door
step and saying: Cd d--n
you" commenced TO shoot Mr..
Blackmon, firing three shots in
rapid succession.
Evans says Gregory was
standing on the second step

ADDIcKs' STATE CHOOSES TWO
SENATORS.
BOTH ARE REPUBLICANS
State Senator Alice and Congressman
Ball the Fortunate Ones-Fcrmer
an Addicks Man-For First Time
in Four Years State Has Full Req
resentation in Senate.

Dover, Del, March 3.-For the first
time in four years the state TO Dela-
ware yesterday secured a full repre-
sentation in the United States senate.
At a special session the legislature
elected state Senator j. Frank Alice
union republican, for the long term
and Congressman L. Heisler Bal.
Irregular republican, for the short
term. The selection was undoubtedly
due to pressure from Washington
brought TO bear upon the regular re
publicans in the legislature who have
all along been opposed to the election
of J. Edward Addicks or any of his adj
herants. Congressman Dick OF Ohio
came TO Dover yesterday in the inter
est of republican harmony. He had
conferences with the republicans OF
both factions prior TO the joint seS-
sion OF the legislature and it was
upon his advice that the members
ac,ed and elected the two senators.
In anticipation of the likelihood Of
an agreement between the republican
factions and democrats, State Chair
man Salisbury PRESENTED a PROPOSE
tioa 10 the regular republicans, agree
irg u use his i1sGeace for the cleo
ton. with the ala CT the democrats, Of
two REGULAR republicans TO the United
States senate. This proposition was
approved by the advisory committee
of the democratic state committee
but not ratified By the democratic
legislators in caucus.
II the meantime a compromise was
effected between the regular republi-
cans and the Addicks (union) forces,
resulting in the selection of a senator
from each faction.
The election of Alice is regarded as
an Addicks victory because of the re.
fusal of the regular republicans to
agree TO a compromise with the demo
Gratis. He was the first one TO con
graduate the selator-elect when the
result was announced.

ANARCHISTS EXCLUDED
Provision Remains Fixing Two Years

Washington, March 3.-The con
fcvees on the immigration bill reached

ed by the house was stricken out. The
senate provision fixing two years as a
time within which an alien coming in
TO the United States unlawfully or
found To be a public charge from
causes existing prior to landing may
be depOrted remains. The house con-
ferees accepted the senate amendment
providing that aliens arrested in the
United States under the provision of
the bill lie depOrted to ports from
which they embarked. The last sec
ton added to the bill by the senate
providing for the exclusion of anarch-
lists was conferred in by the house con
