The employees of the Eastman Gar.
diner Company raised fund for the
prosecution of the parties arrested for
the alleged murder. Very ugly
rumros were promulgated, and at the
habeas corpus proceedings, brought by
the defendants for release on bonds,
the testimony was such that Judge
Enochs refused the request, remanding
them to Jail without the benefit of
bail. There were more than one
hundred witnesses present at the trial,
and all were ordered to appear at the
special sitting of the court. Law
rence's father attended the prelimi-
nary hearing. and many of the citi-
zens of that section were also there,

gress was told by a gentleman who
knows whereof he speaks that such
would not be the case, bat that the
defendants would surely be tIied at
this term of the court. But whether
or not this will be the case remains to
be seen.
Without the least desi whatever
to prejudice the case either one way
or another, but to give the reader
some idea of it, the Progress repro

out in the trial held at Ellisville and
given to the public at the time

The new police force have entered
mandamus proceedings in the circuit
court to force the city to pay them for
services rendered as policemen. They
were appointed by the board of alder
men, but the mayor refused to sign
the vouches and hence they cannot be
paid by the city clerk. On the other
hand the old men who were on duty
when the new board came into power
and still on duty, are also short on
pay as the board will not recognize
them to the extent of allowing their
claims. They also entered suit and
the justice gave them judgment, but
the city, having taken an appeal, the
matter will also come up at this term
of circuit court.

ALL ABOARD FOR AUGUSTA
Railroad Commission Refuses to
Reopen the New Augusta
Depot Case.

jackson, April 22.--Colonel F. B.
Merrill, president of the Mobile,
Jackson and Kansas City railroad COM
pany, was in the city yesterday on
business before the railroad commits
sion, making an effort to have the
new Augusta depot matter reopened,
but the commission refused to do so,
and the depot will remain as ordered
at the last meeting.
Col. Merrill spoke very encourag-
ingly of the work that is being done
on the extension of his road in the
direction of the northern part of the
state, saying that the line would be
completed and running to Jackson,
Tenn, within the next two years. A
strong grading force is now at work
north of Newton, and further con-
tracts for constitution will be made as
soon as possible. Orders have been
placed for steel rails for the entire
company to push the work as rapidly
! as men and money can coax it along.
Col. Merrill was accompanied to
Jackson by Hon. Joseph G. Rich, ex-
mayor Of Mobile, who is the general
attorney for the road. Mr. Rich is
native of the state of Mississippi, a
graduate of the state university, and
a brother of Hon. Charles Rich of
Hattiesburg, any one of which dis
tinctions is sufficient to insure him q
cordial welcome to Jackson.

BRIEF HISTORY OFTHE MURDER

Trial at EllisVille.

is claimed was killed by the defend
ants, was shot in the back while eat
ing lunch at noon. He was sitting
on a stump little way back from the
camp.
Lawrence, still alive, was taken
some hours after the shooting to the
soda water factory of the camp and
laid out on cot and covered with
blanket. A watch was established,
but it was stated at the trial that the
man was called off by DR.. Harper,
and that the injured man was then
locked in the building and left there
alone. In the morning, on demand
of number of employees, it was stated
that the man was dead and that his
body was in a box car. 1t was as
serted that a crowd of the men went
to this car and demanded the body.
At that time an engine was preparing
to take the car to the burying ground
of the camp. The body was in a
coffin ready for burial. The clothes
had all been removed an the body
was bound about with a sheet. Dur
