A Statement to the people of Desoto County
| desire to make this statemen
to the people of DeSoto county
because in the midst of politica
race in which was to be de
termined who should be the nex1
chancery clerk of DeSoto county
and preside over the most i'm.
portant office in the gift Of the
Ipeople, an unfortunate tragedy
occurred which has removed
from this race the man whom the
people had placed in the lead in
this contest, also the man whom
lthey universally condemned at
the polls. The one is dead, shot
by man, connection or contact
with whom was dreaded and
feared by every candidate in the
race, and who is now in jail.
| was a candidate for this i'm
|portant office and was running on
my own merit. That [ have
always been a friend of the
Wllliamsons, needs no assertion
on my part. My action both in
social intercourse and at the polls
IN past elections have evidenced
ut. Since this tragedy it has
come TO me from many sources
that have been censured because
}. IL. Malone had posted cir
cular at Pleasant Hill, the con-
tents of which are we'll known to
the people of DeSoto county. II
hereby positively assert to the
people of DeSoto county that the
statement that I have encouraged
or approved of Moody in pub
fishing or circulating these
notices, or that it was done with |
my knowledge or consent is not
true. On the contrary l have
avoided all connection with such |
work, and have done nothing but
to win the chancery |
clerk's'ofice by fair and impartial
means. 1t never see the IEsidei i
Of the chancery clerks office, II
desire in justice to myself, the
people, my family and the Will
hanson family, that the truth be
and | seek it from no I
source except in the statements
of people who know as to whom
these people supported for chan
,ery clerk. By their own state
nents they were not supporting
ne wholly, nor were they
Importing Mr. Williamson. j. ii.
Malone, my broth erin nlaw, [

AMERICAN OFFICER
 ROASTED ALIVE
WITNESS SAYS WHILE IN sAMAR HE SAW FILiPINos DRIVE STICK IN MANS BODY AND TURN HIM OVER FIRE.

Manila, January 16.-At the continua- tion today of the trial of Major Edwin F. Glenn of the Fifth infantry, who is charged with unlawfully killing prisoners of war in Samar, a Spaniard who was at one time held prisoner by the insurg- ents, testified that while he was confined at the headquarters of General Lukban in samar. in May, 19Oo he saw an Amer ican prisoner roasted to death. The Span iard said sticks were driven into the mans body and he was slowly turned over the fire until dead. The body was then left to be devoured by hogs. He did not know the mans name, but thought he was an officer. Several American of ficers and men were captured or reported missing in Samar in 1900 and the victim is believed to have been one of these.
 Other witnesses reviewed the Catubig massacre. The defense produced a letAr written by the insurgent leader Guevarre, in which he admitted that the Palangiga massacre was contrary to the laws of warfare.
 Capt. Abraham P. Burlington of the First infantry, testified that Brig. Gen. Jacob P. Smith frequently had offered protection to .he natives and urged them to come inside the American lines. Lieu tenant Pratt testified that General Smith in his orders had directed that the war be waged against able-bodied men, not against women and children.

SENSATION SPRUNG IN FRANK. FORT BY JuRoR's STATEMENT TO JUDGE cANTRILL-PUT THE MONEY IN HIS POCKET.

Frankfort, Ky, January 16.-A sensa- tion was caused in the Franklin Circuit court today when Judge Cantrin sum moned the grand jury which has had un- der investigation the Goebel murder case, hearing the testimony of Henry E.. Youtsey, in open court. Judge Cantrill said to the jury:
 Gentlemen, I understand that certain persons have approached some of the members of the jury and made inquiry as to matters which have been before this jury. If this is fact, I want you to re- port it to the court, or If there have been any overtures, or intimations to you.
 James Riddell, who lives at Benson, arose and stated that on his return home last night that man of medium height, with black hair, well dressed and of good address, was at his home.
 This man gave his name as Mcdowell and said his home was at Indianapolis: that he knew w. S. Taylor; that he knew I was a member of the jury which had to try Youtsey; that since the investigation of this case and the testimony Of Yout- sey, that Taylor was much worried, had grown thin and emaciated; that he (Mc- DowelD knew who all of the members were. had a diagram of their houses and knew where they lived. He said he wanted to talk privately with me and said that he wanted information about the testimony of Youtsey, and would ger money for 1t. and that he would divide with me-

JURY TO TRY BooDLER KELLY.
Taking of Testimony Was Begun Yes
 terday Afternoon.

St. Louis, Mo, January 16.-After two days of questioning veniremen, jury finally was secured today for the trial of Charles F. Kelly, former speaker of the house of delegates, on the charge of bribery. Kelly's attorneys made a mo- tion for change of venue from St. Louis but the motion was overruled and the trial ordered to proceed. The taking of testimony was begun late this evening In the testimony of Maurice Horey, depu- ty circuit clerk, appertaining to the re- cords of the Circuit court in general term the defense raised an objection that the record was not admissible as evidence, as it had not been signed by the pre- siding judge, Selden P. Spencer.
 Judge Ryan announced that he would rule on the objection later. If the court sustains the objection 1t will be telling point for the defense as 1t would in- validate the action of the December, 1901, grand jury, and render void every indict- ment raised by that body. City Attorney Folke declared the omission of the sigma ture of the presiding judges name to the record does not invalidate the record. He declares the Supreme court has so de- cided on several occasions.
 Court adjourned at 5:15 o'clock.

ST. LOUIS SIGHTED
 OFF NANTUCKET
SIGNALS MADE TO LIGHTSHlP, BUT COULD NOT BE READ ON ACCOUNT OF HEAVY GALE-No ASslsTANc E NEEDED.

New York. January 16-Word reached this city this evening that the American Line steamer St. Louis from Southamp- ton January for New York. was sighted off Nantucket lightship at $40 o'clock this evening. Signals were made to the south shore lightship. but owing to a heavy gale they were unintelligible,
 Clement A. Griscom. Jr.. said tonight that the agents of the line had heard nothing of the St. Louis beyond the fact that she had been sighted. It was not con sidered necessary. he said, to dispatch a vessel to her assistance, because If aid be needed the St. Louis will have ample opportunity to signal for it when she arr rives off Fire island. He does not expect that the St. Louis will reach Sandy Hook before noon tomorrow.
 The agents. further than stating that some part of the machinery may have suffered mishap, said the big liner St. Louis would be sent no assistance until she actually requested 1t from the next observation lightship. In this case tugs would help her into her regular birth in the harbor.

LIVE STOCK MEN
 FINISH LABORS
CONVENTION WILL MEET NEXT IN PORTLAND, ORE.-ALL THE OLD OFFICERS REELECTED AND PRINCIPLES ADHERED TO.

Kansas City, Kan, January 16 - The convention of the National Live Stock as- sociation adjourned tonight to meet next year at Portland, Ore. All the old off cers were reelected and the legislative campaign against the proposed packing house combines will be continued.
 William M. Springer, general counsel of the association, in a spirited address out lined a bill which. he had formulated "to protect trade and commerce against un- lawful restraints and monopolies" and which he said was merely an adaptation of the Sherman antitrust law and the Hoar bill, now pending in the senate. President Springer said that if the pro- posed merger was ever consummated the National Live Stock association would string packing houses from Chicago to San Francisco. In response to an appear from the executive committee for work ing fund $500 was subscribed In less than thirty minutes.
 A resolution introduced by Frank N Stewart of South Dakota, protesting against the packing merger, was adopted.
 During an address at the afternoon ses- sion Jerry Simpson favored tariff reform and said that the enactment of the tariff law by Germany was a discrimination against American products, and should teach us how our present tariff system discriminates against other countries. H. s. Hadley of Kansas City, in an elo- quent address, said the removal of the tariff on meat products, which action was suggested by the National Butchers as- sociation, would please the packers but would work great Injury to American farmers.
 Tonight the delegates were entertained at an elaborate smoker at convention hall.
 Tomorrow 200 of the delegates will start for Memphis and New Orleans on a special train over the Frisco.
