BRASS KNUCKs IN COURT.

Tampa Morning Tribune: Brass
knucks figured largely in the Clemens
murder trial yesterday. The state is
endeavoring to show that the wounds
inflicted upon the head of Tom Smith
could not have been inflicted except
by a hard instrument and that brass
knucks were the most likely weapon
to have caused such injuries. DR..
Knight said the flesh about the frac-
ture on the side of the head was beat
en- into small bits, as one would beat
beefsteak. He declared positively
that such wounds could not have been
inflicted by the bare fist. The state
sought to introduce a pair of knucks.
not alleged to have been used in the
difficulty, but merely to be used as an
illustration to the jury. The defense
strenuously resisted and Judge Wall
sustained the objection. Later, the
defense waived its objection, provided
the knucks were used only as an illus
tration. There was then much ques-
tioning and cross-questioning of DR.
Knight on the manner in which the
knucks might have been used to infiict
the wounds on the head of the de-

Sensation Has Been Caused by
Events Near OFerman.
Blackshear, Ga, Jan. 4.-John Man
ming, a white man, who lives in this
county a few miles from Onerman,
has been lodged in Jail here, charged
with the murder of his wife, which is
said to have occurred some weeks ago.
The story is complicated one and
bids fair to become more complicated
still. Manning's wife was a Miss
Rogers of Wayne county. The pair
did not get on well. There We're fire.
quent quarrels. A few weeks ago
trouble was renewed. and in the midst
OF il a brother of Manning is said to
have arrived on the scene. Manning
called to this brother and told him TO
&C for a doctor, but a few minutes
later called TO him that he need not
GO as his wife was dead.
Next day the body was inferred, but
suspicious having been aroused be-
cause of the circumstances of Mrs.
Mannings death, an inquest was or
dered The verdict of the jury it is
reported. was suicide. Subsequently,
Mrs. Manning's people. being dissatis-
fed, had the body eXhumed, and d
further inquest neld. Inc jury, afleF
investigation, returned verdict
charging the husband with murder.
1t is reported that her neck was
broken.
Manning's people, so it is said, will
have the body re-exhumed and Grill
cally examined by experts, in order to
esta blish that Mrs. Manning did not
die as a result of violence at the hands
of her husband. 1t is charged that
she died as a result of a large dose of
strychnine, taken with suicidal intent,
and TO establish that fact Manning 5
people have had the stomach removed
and forwarded to State Chemist Payne
of Atlanta for analysis.
Meanwhile Manning awaits the re-
suit of Investigations which will either
condemn or release him, in the county
jail.

TWO SISTERS BURIED.

A double funeral was conducted at
Bluff Springs Saturday, where it was
originally intended to inter but one
lovable lady. The dead were Mrs. c.
w. Taylor and Mrs. Minnie Boutwell,
sisters. Mrs. Boutwell, died Thursday
morning. Mrs. Taylor felt the shock
very much and would leave her dead
sisters side only after much persua-
sion. She returned to her room soon
after looking at the features of her
sister. She stood before an open fire
place. The flames ignited her gar
ments suddenly and quickly wrapped
the grief crazed lady on all sides. She
screamed and assistance came, but too
late. The burns were serious, and
after lingering in agony, death came
to her relief

We are immensely pleased with this

"There is no need of an anti-negro

falling into it. Many of the democrat

white supremacy Is settled. In parts
of the North toe issue of white mans

not include calling the negro race as a

furious and derisive adjectives, for there
are good, honest, faithful and ambi-
