MIR. CULVER GIVES
 STRONG TESTIMONY
SAYS MITCHELL CURSED HIM WHEN HE PLEAD WITH THE Mo6-EvIDENcE SHOWS MITCH ELL WAS LEADER.

Huntsville, September 29.-(Special J. Evidence introduced by the state today in the trial of James M. Mitchell, charged with arson in the Madison county jail, shows that the defendant was apparently one of the leaders of the mob that lynched Horace Naples, and that he spent practically the whole day around the jail encouraging the mob In its work
 The Rev. Frank P. Culvers evidence was decidedly the most sensational that has appeared in any of the trials of the alleged lynchers. Mr. Culver was a mem Der of the special grand jury that re- turned the twenty-six indictments against the mob, and Is pastor of the First Meth odist church.
 He stated that during the riot he made speech urging the crowd to disband, and that Mitchell came at him with a Bible quotatioE-'.Whosoev sheddeth mans blood by man shall his blood be she'd"
 Later when the jail was afire MT. Cui- yer made a speech to the crowd begging them to let the fire department extinguish the flames and save the lives of the pris- oners, who seemed to be in immediate danger. Mitchell said to him: D. the jail: we are going to burn the Jail and have the nigger." The witness at that time was standing in the jail door and members of the mob showed him down the steps, and one man. said to have been Mitchell, struck the minister with an iron pipe, and cursing him. told him to go home. MT. Culver heard MT. Mitchell tell the crowd to put more wood on the fire.
 Chief of Police Overton testified that Mitchell appeared to be the leader of the mob.
 The jury on the case of George Frame reported verdict of acquittal at l O clock today after spending four hours on the case. This Is the fourth aequittal, and there has been no conviction of an al- legged lyncher so far.
