Judge Reed0biected to Defense's
Statement.
The Judge Had 10 Order less Excite
ing Words-E'irst Witness
Testified Today.
MUCH INTEREST SHOWN IN CASE

Benton, KY, Mar. IA clash
between the opposing counsel in the
Holland case came today during the
statement of Col. Hendrlck, for the
defense.
y Judge Reed objected TO state
ment of what was said by Sheriff
Holland to his friend just preceding
the killing.
In the war of words which follow
ed, Judge Brown admonished the
counsel that he would exert his full
authority to suppress any disturb
ance.
The statement referred to was per-
mitted to go to the jury.
Geo. NJ. Cox, OF Clinton, was the
first witness. He testified that he
: saw the killing. Holland and Keys
were ten feet apart. He heard Keys
say. you are G. d liar" and
then saw Holland fire two shots.
Keys began to fall, and the wit
ness fed from the scene. A rigid
cross examination failed to shake his
testimony, but developed the admis-
sion that the witness had not told
anyone of his knowledge of the facts
until several months after the kill
ing.
A great deal of interest is being
shown in the case, and the court
room is crowded with spectators.
while the town is full of witnesses
and others interested in the trial.
The jury was secured yesterday
late. and is as follows:

flying speed, and the last four days,
covered respectively SO, SO, 80 and
Is miles. One force sent specially to
search for Kuropatkin and STAFF, but
they had already gone.
The battlefield. especially in the
vicinity Of Likampu. five miles west
of the railroad, presents a terrible
sight. Fully two thousand bodies
are still lying on the field. This
locality was the scene of the flercest
fight of the left armies
A division of Japanese attacked
Likapu and a small village south and
drove Russians out. inflicting serious
loss. The Russians being reinforced
CONGRATULATED the village, driving
out the japanese and inficting en-
ormous losses. The thirty-third regi-
ment, south of the village. was prac-
tically annihilased. receiving in front
and on the flank an artillery fire be-
fore the infantry attacked.
The japanese dead were piled in
heaps behind the low mud walls of
the village. The Russian dead were
scattered over the field. almost car
peting II. There were also evidences
of desperate hand to hand fighting
near the village. Bodies of Japanese
and Russians were piled together in
scores. Likampu was the scene of n
fierce street and house-to-house
struggle. Every street, lane and
compound wall shows its heap of
dead Many buildings were burned,
oremating wounded who crawled
into them for shelter.

WERE SWORN IN.
County Committeeman Were On
Hand at the Court House.

A meeting of the Democratic coun-
ty committee was held at the county
court house this afternoon, and last
ell only about twenty minutes. There
were twenty out of thirty-five CON-
mitteemen present. Chairman w. A.
Ferry stated that "inasmuch as the
Republicans had raised the question"
ol their having to be sworn in, the
members would be sworn in. He
said he did not, think II necessary,
hut that to be on the safe side 1t
would be done. The committeeman
were then sworn in. Deputy County
Clerk Ashbrook administering the
oath.
The committee then, ratified ev-
crything that the subcommittee and
the committee as whole had previ-
ously done, including the calling of
the primary for March 80. A num-
her of changes of precinct officers
were ratified.
The funny part of the meeting was
The effort of the chairman to put off
en- the Republicans the responsible
ty for the ignorance of the Demo
cratic committeeman in not knowing
that they had to be sworn in. The
Republicans didn't even know they
hadn't been sworn in until the call
for the meeting for today had been
made, and II was talked about on
the quiet that II was to swear in
the committeeman ana ratify what
had already been done.

chamber during the day urging Ad-
ans to hold his seat by force but
he decided to ignore this advice. In
conversation, he said he felt outrag-
ed at the action of the general as
sembly and expressed surprise that
Peabody should become a party to
what he termed conspiracy to Sc
cure the Office of governor for a man
who had no claim whatever to the
place.
Governor Peabody was escorted be-
fore the joint assembly by a COM
mittee after the adoption of the re-
port and resolutions restoring him to
the Office of governor. He was greet
ed with cheers. The oath was admin
istered by Chief Justice Gabbert
Peabody thanked the members of
the legislature for having dome
their duty" He said his election
would do away once for all with
criminal elections and If this end was
attained great good would come to
the state.
Peabody, accompanied by Adjutant
General Bell and number of
friends, went directly to the COVER
nor's chamber after the conclusion
of the Inauguration ceremony. Ad-
ans had left when Peabody arrived,
but the retiring governors private
secretary, Alfred Patek, was still in
the Office. Peabody introduced him
self to Patek, remarking that he had
been seated as governor and offered
to shake hands.
Patek drew back and uttered a
contemptuous remark, which caused
Col. Cross to seize Patek and demand
that he repeat the remark. Before
Patek could reply, Bell separated the
men.
Peabody remained in the office
about twenty minutes, receiving con-
gratulations from many callers.
