While it is generally conceded that
Yesterdays election was less animated
than apy held in Alexandra during re-
cent years, comparatively large vote
was polled. As WAS apparent during
&c campaign, the democratic candidates
had an easy walk-ov{r. Notwitbstand-
ing all the hopes and presages OF the re-
pu5licans, they only succeeded IN secur-
ing "a more votes for Judge Lewis ior
Governor than President Roosevelt re-
ceiyed in this city last year, which shows
that their recent propaganda In Aiexan-
d.ia has been devoid OF fruit.
There wss no anxiety concerning the
result in Alexandria nor in the state al
large. but many persons naturally were
interested in the outcome of the struggles
in New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore
and other places, and after dark crowds
gathered at points on King street where
bulletins were thrown upon screens
The dispatches in the main, however,
we're unsatisfactory, as but little dehnlte
news could be obtained.
The streets were comparatively quiet
and as the hour grew late the crowds De-
came thinner, the bulk Of the people
preierhng to wait until today to learn
the result OF the election in the different
States.
The vote in Alexandria city and coun-
Nv was as follows:

Coroner's Inquest.

DIR Puryis. the Coroner, this morning
held AN inquest at Demaine q Son
undertaking I,arlms over The remains OF
R,chard Mills, colored, who WAS evi-
IDENTIFY shot in the northeastern part Oh
tbe civ last Saturday night and VIII
died the next day in the home oil a COL
ored woman named Annie Brown.
Officers Beach, Carney and Lyles les
t6ed TO finding Mills Saturday night
apparently in a drunken condition.
Officer Lyles had previously beard a
nistol shot and when Mills was found 1t
was supposed that he had been injured
nv q pistol. but he emphatical!y denied
that sucb was the case. The statements
of the officers showed that young col
ored woman named Sarah Gssklns was
with Mills previous to the time ne was
found, but when she was examined she
denied having seen the dead man and
said she WAS with an acquaintance.
The evidence of Mr.. Doberty, propri-
elor of a saloon in the neighoorhood,
was 10 the effect that the Gaskins
woman was with Mills, and that he pur-
chased bottle of beer for her. IL was
also evident from the testimony that sne
left the saloon with him..
DIR. Smith described the result OF the
autopsy Of the remains OF Mills. lie
said it would have been impossible Tor a
person who bad received such wound
to have survived from Saturday night
until late Sunday afternoon. In his
opinion Mills died within two or three
hours after having been Shot that
it would have been possible tor MIN I"
have lived six hours.
Several negroes were examined, Dut
nothing dcfnate could be obtained from
them, although they were considerably
mixed up in the cross-examlna'ion OF
the jurymen.
After the exami nation Of number OF
other witnesses the jury retired and re-
turned a verdict 10 the effect that Mills
came TO his death by a pistol shot
wound through the kidneys and lntes-
tines by parties unknown to the jury.
Hughes King and Sarah Haskins,
both colored, who had been arrested
after the three colored men we're taken
10 custody on suspicion OF being imPii,,
Gated in the shooting of Mills, we're held
by the police TO await further develop,

filed suit in the United States Circuit
Court in Richmond against Crandaii
Msckey, Commonwealth Attorney,
and Joseph s. Supplee, a magistrate IN
Alexandria county, for $40, 900 dam
ages. The suit is the rasult of the ar
rest and conviction Of Knode under the
common law on charge of vagrancy.
He is a telegraph operator and was one
of the many arrested in the poolroOm
crusade made by MackeY when he
raided John G. Nelson's poolroom in
jackson City. He was fined 81, 600 and
given six months on conviction for vag-
rancy. Knode was suspected of being a
PoOl-rOom operator. In his suit he al
leges that he was assaulted By the de-
PENDANTS, who, when they arrested him,
|'did msliciously and wantonly pull and
squeeze him." etc The hurt done Il
him bodily and to his business and pros
poets, he figures as ''damnifying" hin
to the tune of $40, 900.

Cook that there was large cave on his
farm and also that there were large
sums of money buried about the place.

saver told Mr.. Cook the spot, he has
never bad faith in the prediction to dig
for the treasure. The discovery OF the
cavern, however, lend some color tc

Two years ago the Pharmacy Board OF

mESSNER AND PRALL
SOUGHT LATHAm'S MONEY
TO APPEAL HER CASE.

That the money alleged to have
been sought to be raised by the
defendants, Messner and Prall,
from a mortgage of DR.. Mary A.
Latham was to be used in per-
fecting her appeal from conviction
of arson instead of going into the
pockets Of the defendants, is the
outline of the defense in the cases
of Prall and Messner before Judge
Carey.
The state closed its evidence yes
terday afternoon and at the open
ing of court today Attorney Horace
Kimball made the opening address
to the jury. He at once took up
the question as to what was to be
done with the money to be raised
by the mortgage figuring in the
conspiracy case. He said that the
members of the law firm of Pea
cock, Wells & Ludden would testi-
fly that $1,000 was to go to them.
When they began to look for the
source of their money and looked
up the property to be mortgaged it
was found that Miss Sackett held
lien of $500 against the Mead
ranch. Prall would not advance
money on a second mortgage. So
it was planned that a new mortgage
would be issued in which the law
yers would have an interest of
$1,000, Miss Sackett for $500 and
Prall for $4,000, which he was to
