 Heard Brother Scream.
 The witness got in the street in time to see the men together in the rear of the store and then he heard his brother scream. His brother fell across a crate and the witness ran to him. He helped his brother to his feet. His brother said, He has killed me; he has cut me to tn heart" After taking a few steps his brother fell over dead.
 The witness Identified the coat of his dead brother, and pointed out the three elashes in the coat which marked the places where Mount had received each of his three wounds. The Aknife, when it entered the heart, pierced a memorandum book, four or five letters, and cut in two a pencil.
 Following this testimony there came cloud of witnesses who testified to many threats made by Connors against Mount extending over a period of a week and up to the moment of the fight. From the witnesses statements upon the stand 1t would be judged that Conn rs spent the day In vowing ven- SoelAACS anu SSShlhS NSuk6dHCSs ms threats assumed various forms, but they all boded i'll for Clem Mounts. Statements alleged to have been made by Connors as quoted by these wit nesses were of such nature as this: I'll cut his - - heart out lf have to run him down to do it." "I'll kill the ----A>--- -----z-- if have to run him down." "If he don't pay those costs. I'll stamp him in the ground" I'm going to beat H-- out of him before night" I'm going to Texas go." These and other threats the witnesses testified Connors made in the streets of Brantley
 Those Who Testified.
 Witnesses giving such testimony were: F. M. Allen, Will Colqultt, Emil Gilchrist. Pink Sport, w. P. Rogers, G. L. Hill, Bob Wilhoit. Frank Taylor. Gordon Phillips, Frank Tisdale. W. R. Samson. Bill Hawkins. Jep sasser, Clyde silchrist and Marshal W. M.
 Several of this long line of wit nesses had seen the fatal fight In it's two episodes. the struggle at the door and the tragedy in the rear of the store. Their account of the killing was In all details like that given in the early part of the testimony.
 Marshal Thrasher told of hearing Connors cursing Mount and of Mounts appeal to him for protection.
 Late In the night session the state finished its side and the defense be- gan Oscar Holland. a young whitN man. testified that he saw the first struggle. He saw Clem Mount pull au open knife from his pocket and slash Connors on The neck Then he SAW Mount cut the larger man twice Tn the neck After thls Mount br kt loose and ran down the store The court adjourned at 10 o'clock tonight until 8 o'clock tomorrow morning.

MOUNT DAJO BATTLE
GOVERNOR-GENERA OF PHILIP
 PINES SENDS REPORT.
Declares that Stories of the Slaughter of Women and Children in the Main are Without
 Foundation.

Washington, March 20.--Secretary Taft has received the following cable. gram from the Governor-General al Manila today relative to the Mount DaJo fight:
 Newspaper reports from Manila announcing wanton slaughter of wo' men and children at Mount Dajo ex' tremely sensational and in all essentia. details false. The situation occupied by Moro outlaws on the crater of the volcano 2,100 feet high was exceed ingly difficult and required a great dis play of heroism on the part of the army. navy and Filipino and Moro con- stabuIary, who rendered most vaIu' able service. Some women and chil- dren were killed or wounded by pre- liminary smelling at a distance. Moro outlaws and fanatics refused to sur render to the last, attempting repeat edly to murder our forces who were rescuing wounded Moros.
 Moro Sultan and leading Dattos rem dered great assistance and the sur rounding population Is in great sym pathy with the course taken to remove the gang of cut-throats who were prey ing on the community. There was no killing of any one except such as was indispensable to end an intolerable sit- uation. Troops and officers deserving OI ulEueSI pFdiSos
 Secretary Taft also has made public an exhaustive report from Major Hugh l.. Scott. who was Governor of the Moro provinces just preceding the engage ment respecting tho habits of warfare of these people.
 The text of Major scott's report fol- lows:
 Report of Major Scott.
 The recent trouble in Jolo had its beginning over year ago when Sulu Moro by the name of Palan ran amuck in the streets of Lahud, Dato, British North Borneo, and ran away after kill ing and wounding twenty-six people. He returned to his cotta on the south side of the Sulu islands about fifteen miles from Jolo An attempt was made to arrest Pala by surprise. His cotta was taken and destroyed and he him self escaped to the jungle. General Wood came down with troops from Mindanao as the l7th infantry was about to leave for the United States, and had become depleted In number to surround Pala's jungle and arrest him.
 He was fired upon on the way to Pala's Jungle in the Tambang pass by the Dato people. One soldier and sev- eral Moros were killed. Many of the Dajo people then ran up on Mount Dajo and began fortifying themselves. The troops went, on fought Pala who would not suprrender to him. They went on to Tandoloc, where another band of symapthizers who had been depredat- ing on friendly Moros were fortified in a crater on A mountain about twen- ty-five miles from Jolo. By means of

The court went into the drawing of the jury at the beginning of the at- ternoon session. In two hours the llst was finished. The jury Is made up of F. M. Mosely, F. M. Stephens c. M owens, W. M. Harrington. B. J. Holli- day. P. F. H. Roper. H. J. Flynn John W. Mosely, R. B. Clayton, P. S.. Trinum, W. E. Davis, Y. M. Capps. pr. May a practicing physician of Brantley, described the fatal cut in Mounts side. The physician knew that the knife entered the heart of the dead man for he ran his finger into the hole.
 The proprietor of the store. R. M. Gilchrist, in which the killing was done. described the fight. He testi- fled that Mount was a very small man weighing about 100 pounds, Connor weighed 175 or 1s0 pounds. Mount first came to the store. He was soon followed by Connors who asked him if he was going to taKe that attach ment. of this cotton. Mount the wit ness said. gave Connors no satisfac- ton and Connors told Mount that If he didn't take off the attachment he would stamp H--out or him before night" The witness testified that Mount called or Marshal Thrssher and him (the witnsss) for protection from Connors.
 Inreat8 ABahn&t MOumts
 You boys had better settle that trouble between yourselves'' the mar shal is said to have replied as he walk ed away; Connors again asked Mount to take of the attachment. and he again refused.
 Connors then reached over and caught Mount by the neck. The two struggled for a few minutes when Mount broke loose and ran down the trfa to hold nors by the coat. but he broke loose and pursued Mount. As Mount reached the back door and found 1t locked he turned around and cried out: "Oh. Lordy don't let him kill me-"
 The two came together and Connors struck out straight from the shoulder. The two men were clinched for few moments and striking each other un- til some one separated them. Mount sank down upon a cabbage crate and said: He has killed me. He has cut my heart"
 A big bladed pocket knife was hand ed the witness with the question If the knife was not the knife of Jesse Conors. It was the same knife, or one like 1t, the witness testified A small Ter knife was shown the witness. which he said was the knife of Glenn Mount
 Martin Mount, brother of the dead man. swore that Connors came into Sikes's store where the witness was em loved no less than six times on tn" day of the killing looking for Glenn Mount. On four of these visits he found Glenn and each time he abused Clem, and one time told him, 'T'll kill you G-D-you before night if you don't take 1t or"
 The witness said that both he and his brother called to Marshal Thrasher to come over anr protect Glenn.
 The witness described the way in which he said Corners followed Mount about the town on the day of the kill ing. The witness saw Connors go up to his brother in the front part of the store and heard them talking in loud tones. He saw his brother edge out of the crowd and then he saw Connors

to pay 1,000 pesos for stolen cattle and 10 tear down the new portions of his fort, made to risist the law. ana this without shot or a drop of blood. He now controls the district of Parang: has probably under him 5000 men whom n econtrols better than any other sec ton of the island is controlled. He offered to send 1000 men to fight the Moros on Mount Da1o. All the re- sources of diplomacy exerted for six months in case of Laksmana usap fall ed-because an Arab from Mecca sold him charms to make him and his fort invulnerable, which he believed in.
 Answered With Bullets.
 He was called upon to surrender, but answered with bullets. When the fort had been bombarded for half 6 day, he was called upon again to surrender and replied: You eowardly Americans may know what 1t is to surrender. but we Moros do not understand what 1t means"
 walls Of the fort had been taken the survivors put up q white flag. The soldiers. knowing we'll the feeling of the officers, ceased firing but a command could be given. Several men were taken out, their wounds dressed by the surgeons and sent to their homes. Before this fight began and after 1t was believed that negotiations had failed. four days were occupied sending prominent chiefs into the fort to induce women and children to come out One chief Jagi. reported that he had taken out eiEiltv himself.
 It is not conceivable that this poii- ey of humanity carried out in every case in the past two years and half should now have been changed. espe- eialiy as General Wood was there In person and no one would take more trouble to avoid unnecessary bioodshed than he. Mount DaJn is about midway In the island of Sulu and Is ovar 2.000 feet high. Upon the top Is the crater of volsano long extinct. The fnoun- tain is five or six miles around the base covered with trees in most parts and has on its side many iandslides
 It Is very steep and difficult to climb under most favorable circumstances and to climb it successfully under fire is undoubtedly A most gallant feat oe arms and unless great skill had been used many more lives would have been lost among the troops. The Moros themselves consider the ton Of that mountain impreRnable as they have food and can raise nore and abundant supply of water 8 reported In the era ter, which makes an ideal stronghold. As the mountain and crater can not be destroyed 1t will always he a menace to peace and order in Jolo. unless the Moros for some superstitutious reason shall avoid 1t hereafter.
