TRIAL OF NEW YORK
 CORONER FOR BRIBERY
JACKSON SAID HE HAD TO FIX
 JERoME,S MEN.
Wanted $500 to Settle Case-Declares "Grnfter Chadwick" Wanted S200- Latter Formerly Yale Football Player Jerome Declares Chadwick Was Acting Under Ills Instructions Merely Getting Evidence.

New York, Jan. S1.-Testifying before a jury in the court of general sessions to-day Benjamin Reass, lawyer, de- clared that Coroner Moses Jackson, who is on trial charged with attempted bribery, asked him for $500 in connec- tion with the case of his client, Dr. John w. Alexander, saying 1t was needed to square the fellows upstairs.
 The fellows upstairs" the witness ex- plained, were the men in the district attorney's office. Reass also testified that Jackson said that Crater Chad wick wants $200," referring to Assist ant District Attorney Charles Chad wick, who was of Yale '97's football team. He added that he had met Jackson and Chadwick at luncheon, which the coroner arranged, and later went to the district attorney and com plained that Jackson and Chadwick were trying to shake him down He really believed at the time that Chad wick was a party to the attempt to obtain money from him, but later was assured by Mir. Jerome that ChadWick was all right-that he merely had been getting evidence against Jackson.
 Assistant District Attorney Charles Chadwick testified that Coroner Jack son offered him s2OO to fix the testi- nony so that the coroner could dis charge Dr. Alexander and that Jackson had said in future cases they could get as high as $2,oOo. The money, however, was never paid to Chadwick, who add ed that in his negotiations with Jack son he was obeying the instructions of the district attorneys office.

the Reports Sent Out Relative
to Battle of Mukden Have
Been Exaggerated.

Gunshu Pass, April 27.-An exact
statement of the losses on all categories
in the battle of Mukden from Feb. 10 to
March a. compiled by the general staff.
shows that the casualties were greatly
Overstated in earlier reports. State
ments from japanese sources indicating
wholesale capture Of prisoners, enor
nous booty and cannon. are now de-
MED. In reality it appears the Russian
losses amounted to two generals. who
were captured. 1885 staff and other
officers. and S7.e77 men. of whom the
greatest part. about IS, 900 were wound
ed. In eVacuating Mukden and retreat
ing to the northward the Russians lost
thirty-tWO guns, Of which three were
mortars, three old type field guns with
piston action and tWenty-Six quick fire
guns. OF the siege artillery every gun
and all the ammunition carts were sent
north two days before the retreat be-
gan. General Karkevitch the chief Of
staff, calculates that other losses aside
from wounded were as follows: $4,000
Killed. 1000 5000 known to have been
captured and 10000 to 10000 missing,
of whom several thousand were drivers,
sanitary and commissary corps en-
plOyes and other ono-combatants. A
very large number were slightly
wounded and returned to ranks. many
even res0rting to deception in order to
l. ave the hospitals.
This would indicate that the extent
of the Japanese victory and the dis
order of the Russian retreat have been
exaggerated and that the spirit of The
Russian army is still strong and that
troops not demoralized.

1t was the enorn1ity of the crime and
the probable failure of justice which in
tensi6ei the feeling of resentment, which
had been allayed, and led to this violence
by the mob. Craighead was shot in his
cell. He was riddled with bullets and
MORALLY wounded. The mob was as de-
liberate as it was orderly and disap-
peared after their deed as quietly as they
had come and broke into the Jail, which
had been left unguarded by the sheriff.
who had been lulled into fancied Sc
curity.
Mob law has been and will ever be lie
nounced, and may be condoned only for
the crime of rape Or assault on woman,
but there are times when, even the most
rigid advocate of law. will become silent
and yield his sympathy to the mob, who,
as in the case of Craighead, have been
aroused to resentment by the enormity of
the crime and the probable escape of the
murderer through the legal delay and
technicalities.

Russian Admiral Will Make That His

Saigon, April 27.-Two ships loaded
with rice for Saigon, and bound for
Japan have been captured by ships
belonging to the Russian squadron.
Russian officers are reported to have
declared that Admiral Rojestvensky is
determined to fight Admiral Togo, and
will endeavor to vanquish the Japanese

Admiral Rojestvensky has given
every detail of the coming conflict his
particular attention. Togo's flagship
will be his objective, according to a
special plan.
More firing at sea was heard at

reports were extremely faint
1t is reported that four Russian
cruisers are lying off the coast. The
statements that the crew of the Rus

THE MOB AT HOMER.

The law has been defied in Claiborne
parish by an assault, by armed men, on
Dick Craighead, who was incarceratei
IN the jail at Homer, awaiting second
trial for murder.
While this unwarranted action can not
be justified, it IS at least not surprising
and must be interpreted as the outburst
Of feeling Of apprehension entertained
and doubtless shared BY the people Of
Claiborne in the escape Of Craighead
from the clutches Of the law.
The crime for which Craighead was
arrested. triel and convicted in the first
instance, was committed at Athens. He
was the alf-brother Of the husband of
Mrs. Ike Mckee, who with her son aged
four years. were defenseless when they
were murdered brutality. and whatever
may have been the motive Of the MUIR
derer has never been explained. With
the deliberate purpose of shielding him
self Craighead attempted to fasten the
crime on negro who was blameless.
Every circumstance fastened guilt upon
Craighead, who, after ! fair and ex-5
haustive trial, was convicted OF murder.
On legal technicality re was granted
