PROMPT SETTLEMENT
 OF INSURANCE CLAIM.

Weldon, Ark, July 30, 1904. To Whom it May Concern:
 This is to certify that we had our church house insured against fire and wind in the American Insurance Company of Little Rock, Ark, and the house was blown over in a storm. The company very promptly put it back at large expense in better condition and stronger than it was before the storm. We thank the American Insurance Company for it's promptness in replacing our church to our en- tire satisfaction, and we recom- mend the company to those who have houses to insure.

 FUTURE GREATNESS.

The White River line is now carrying freight as far as Yel- vile and the facilities of the Iron Mountain at Newport are being increased to prepare for the opening of the White River line to Joplin and then to Kansas City.
 Newport will then become an important main line terminal point for all business over the White River road and also a di- vision point on that line.
 Besides the $2O, 900 freight de- pot here which will have a cov- cred platform 1000 feet long, an inclined track will be run to the river wharf and the park prop erty just north of the depot will probably be improved.

ory to Mrs. Lightle, which was as follows:
 "Searcy, July 23, 1904. Mrs. R. G. Lightle,
 Little Rock:
 Dear Friend-I am expecting to leave here some time next week, and if you can 1 would like to get our little business set tied up before I leave. l will be in Little Rock some time the first of next week and will see you then. One of the fellows that l told you about has left, and l think we are all right now. F Your friend,
 ''Walter Gregory. "'
 Gregory was excused, after be- ing examined two hours and for ty minutes.
 Kay Deener was the next wit ness. He said there were three persons in the cemetery, but he did not know who they were. Witness saw Roberts on the street next day and guyed him about 'burying a stiff" or get ting a corpse, and Dr. Lightle called him into his office and talk ed the matter over with him. Witness and Roberts had had a conversation after the burn ing of Pitts body and he had asked him where his part of the money was.
 Mrs. Lightle was in the court room this evening and listened to Gregory testify. She smiled at times when questions touch ing her alleged connection with the case were answered by him.

GREGORY GIVES
 JURY HIS STORY.
Swears That Mrs. Lightle Knew Her Husband Was Not Dead And Paid Money to Rob- erts, Also to Witt
 ness.

fhe grave may not conclude be-
 ~e Monday. A jury has been Scheduled and five witnesses for the prosecution have been exam ined, and much more remains to be done, as there are scores of witnesses.
 Among those whose evidence was given today was Walter Gregory, who turned states evi- dence, upon whose testimony, principally, Dr. R. C.. Lightle was convicted. at Searcy. Gre gory's testimony was quite as sensational today as it was a few weeks ago at Searcy. He was on the stand more than two hours, and detailed exhaustively the circumstances which he de- clared attended the robbery of Ed Pitts grave and the subse- quent palming off the remains for the body of Dr. R. G. Ligh- tie, in order that insurance to the amount of $21, GOO on the lat ter's life might be collected. Gregory swore that he collected certain sums of money from Mrs. Lightle, wife of Dr. Ligh- tie, in Little Rock. His state ment elicited smiles from Mrs. Lightle, who was in the court room. Gregory also swore that he received letters from Dr. Lightle when the latter was in Georgia. All this was after the disappearahce of Dr. Lightle from Searcy and the payment of the insurance money on the poli- cies carried by him.
 BIG CROWDS AT TRIAL.
 Every boarding house and ho- tel is taxed to it's capacity and the farmers of this section have quit their work to attend the trial.
 The defense has thirty wit nesses and the state twenty-four. A spirited colloquy between Gus tave Jones and P. R. Andrews took place as to certain wit nesses being put under the rule. Mir. Jones wanted the insurance agents excluded from the court room, as they were taking an ac- tive part in the prosecution.
 OPENING STATEMENTS.
 MT. Brundidge made the open ing statement for the state, out lining what they expected to prove and picturing in pathetic way the scenes around the grave the day Doctor Lightle was sup posed to have been buried. The insurance companies were not bounding the defendant but only doing their duty to their policy holders in a case of fraud like this, and if they didn't, they ought to be put out of business. Judge Stuckey outlined the de- .ftense in an eloquent manner, saying that he did not want to prejudice the jury by referring to flowers and funerals. He did not propose to establish how Pitts body came to be in Doctor Lightle's barn but the evidence of a perjured villain (referring to Gregory was not to be credited. GREGoRY's SENSATIONAL TEsTI-
 MONY.
 After several of the insurance men had testified as to the poli- cies carried by Lightle. and the attempt of Roberts to get insur- ance payable to his friend, Wal ter Gregory was called and came into the court room laughing. He said he knew Roberts and Lightle. He worked in Newport for some time. Witness said

They figured on body in Little Rock. Roberts said Kirk land thought a negro could get them a body. Witness told of how they went to the cemetery, robbed Pitts grave, got the body, put it in the buggy and carried it to the barn of Dr. Lightle, robed in quilt. A fresh grave was prepared and the body buried in the dirt and lime. The lantern was under a bucket. Kay Deen- CT met witness next morning and asked what they were doing in the cemetery, and witness re- ported it to Roberts and Lightle. Witness and Lightle prepared the body the evening of the fire He saw Lightle at church, and the doctor said he was going to pull off the fire that night, and was going to tell some one he had to fill up the lamp. Witness took a note to Mrs. Lightle from Roberts in Little Rock and called at MT. Fones'' residence. Mrs. Lightle paid witness $240 and sent $1, 900 to Roberts, wrapped in papers.
 Mrs. Lightle knew her hus- band was not dead," said the witness, land got letters from him."
 Witness got a letter from the doctor while he was in Clayton, Ga., and MT. Roberts also got letters. The state made over- lures to witness and promised to be lenient with him.
 GREGORY CRoss-EXAMINED.
 The defense then took the wit ness, who said he had been in Hot Springs, Little Rock and oth- CT places, at the expense of the insurance companies. Witness remained in jail only one night, then turned states evidence, gave bond, and went to Hot Springs with Burton, an insur- ance detective, until the Lightle trial. Witness and Burton made a trip to Lake Village and Arkan- sas City. Witness clerked at Warner, Searcy and in Jackson county.
 MT. Pace and MT. Andrews had a warm colloquy regarding questions concerning the occupa- tion of witness. MT. Jones asked witness why he went to Hot Springs. Gregory said he went to see the state convention, and MT. Jones asked him if he didn't go there as a paid detective to find out whether Congressman Brundidge rode on a pass, at the instance of w. A. Oldfield of Batesville. MT. Andrews object ed to the question, and twenty minutes wrangling followed, MT. Andrews saying he wanted a subpoena issued for MT. Oldfeld at once. MT. Brundidge remark ed that if Oldfeld had asked him he could have told him. Witness said Deener paid his expenses to Hot Springs.
 ''Is it not a fact" said MT. Jones, "that you agreed to get a body for Lightle for a certain sum-"
 No, it is not," said witness. Mir. Andrews and MT. Jones engaged in some wrangling at this juncture, and Judge Smith said: "Go on with your examina- tion."
 ''I want you to face the jury," said MT. Jones to witness. Wit ness said he went to Little Rock tO see Mrs Tiphtle. who paVe
