PRELIMINARY TRIAL
OF HOUSTON CASE.

The preliminary trial of Ben
and Jim Hughes, for the murder
Of Lutte Houston, OF Chickasha,
was held in Justice Starkweath-
er's court at this place, last
Saturday. The first witness ex-
amined was Mr.. McElroy, who
lives near the scene Of the muir
der. Mr.. McElroy testified that
he lives on the NV IA 8, 9-l3,
Caddo county, and described the
finding of the body of the muir
dered man, by himself and "A
neighbor sometime during the
month of Nov. He testified that
the body, which was dressed in a
striped shirt, light checked pants,
fleecolined underwear and a yell
low slicker, was badly decom'
posed, and unacceptable, eX-
cept by means of articles of cloth
ing. The hands were tied be-
hind the body, n rope was around
the neck, and an abrasion of the
bark on a limb above the corpse,
indicated that the deceased might
have been hanged. The body
was wrapped in a sheet and
buried the next day. near the
spot where IL was discovered.
The body was exhumed in March.
The witness was present on this
occasion, as were also, Mrs.
Smith, John Houston and the
undertaken, all of Chickasha.
The body was put in a coffin,
and taken to Chickasha for buri-
al. Witness did not observe any
signs Of n struggle, and there
were no signs which would indi-
cate that parties had been camp
ing near the scene of the murder ;
did not know the dead man, and
had never seen him until the day
the body was found.
The testimony Of the second
witness, Sam Huddloston, who
lives on the sw IA of 8, 9-13,
was substantially the same as
that of the first witness,
The third witness, Mrs. Matte
Il. Smith, of Chickasha, testified
that the late Lutte Houston was
her brother, that he was about 30
years Of age, and unmarried.
That he had been employed near
Mountain View, to which place
he had gone to locate some one,
presumably Bert Casey, for the
officers. Witness was present
when the body of the murdered
man was exhumed, and positive
ly identified the clothing as that
worn by her brother, Lutte Hous-
ton, when she last saw him some
time during the latter part of
September. Was positive in her
identification of the articles, es-
pecially the boots, which were
not on the corpse, but had been
found after the body was dis
covered. Witness testified that
jim Hughes, one of the defend
ants, was her first husband, and
the father of her son, James +.
Hughes. The voice OF the wit
ness trembled and she displayed
considerable feeling when de-
scribing the appearance of the
corpse; She testified that the
back Of the skull showed evidence
of three blows, of sufficient force
TO crush the skull.
The fourth witness, James +.
Hughes, familiary known as
"Wisser" testified that he was
the son of jim Hughes, and a
nephew of the late Lutte Hous-
ton; that on the last day he saw

HIS ONE GOOD REASON.
Why Minister Thought Loan to
Church a Good One.

Mayor Seaman of Perth Amboy,
who is treasurer of a local savings
bank. tells story about Rev. James
l.. Lancaster. rector of st. Peters
Episcopal church there. The parson,
who used to be Presbyterian preach
er, is by no means "slothful in bust
ness" while serving the Lord, and for
that reason among others is vice pres
ident of the bank and a member of the
loaning committee.
An application was received recent
ly from trustees of the First Presby.
terian church for an additional loan
on bond and mortgage to be used in
completing their new edifce. The
reverend gentleman was asked. in
committee. what ne thought of it.
Well" said he, the financial risk
is good. for the property is worth
three times the amount of the loan.
The moral risk is all right, for they
are good people. Then again. they
are predestinarians. But do not
lay so much stress on the fact that
they are predestinated to pay this
debt as | do on their belief that they
are predestinated to go to hell If they
don't"-New York Times.

SILKS AND FINE
RAIMENT,
Peddler Is Touched AT 24o, So
He Asserts. Porter
Under Arrest.

No. $40. the bawdy house ON Colo.
RADIO avenue. presided over by Grace
Winford, is under the ban of police
surveillance today.
A travelling peddler. travelling out
of San Francisco, who makes a spe
ciality of selling fine silk goods and
lingerie for women of the half world
was robbed out of over eighty dollars
worth of fine wear. while his goods
were in the house at No. 24O, before
being taken to the depot for shipment.
The discovery that the goods were
missing was not made until the pedd-
Ter reached Glenwood Springs and
then he missed the goods. His usual
custom has been to have his trunks
taken directly to the bawdy houses in
each town or city, where he sells
goods and then back again to the
train. He has been here before on
the same mission selling a large
amount of finery to the women. This
time he was less careful than usual
and his trunks were robbed.
When he discovered his losses at
Glenwood Springs he returned to this
city and entered complaint against the
women of the house. Unfortunately
two of the women went to Salt Lake
City last night and the officers were
unable to make as successful an effort
to recover the goods as if they had
been at home.
The peddler believes that the wo-
men stole the goods, but the office, S
of the law are inclined to think that
a negro porter by the name of Albert
Brown who was discharged from the
house i; responsible for the theft.
Acting under this impression the
porter was taken in charge this morn
ing and a search made of his posses
sions. in the hope that the stolen
goods would be found. They did not
succeed in securing any evidence that
he was the thief. They let him 90.
But his manner was very suspicious
and they followed him and he went to
the home of two colored women. with
whom he had been staying and this
afternoon they again took him into
custody.
The peddler has not much sympathy
extended to him, rs he was selling
goods at terrific profit. in fact al
most robbery itself and beside he was
selling goods in the city without a
peddlers license.
he peddler's name was Allison.
