BILL KINGS ESCAPE.
A Statement from ]. c. Johnson.

Editor Leader: In your issue
Of July 25 | find communication
from Justice w. G. Summers, of
Beat 8, relating to Bill King and
his escape from the county farm
in November, 1908, in which my
name is prominently mentioned,
and also an article by you in
which you say:
"As Mr.. johnson has been fig
uring in the King matter as an
interested party, and is referred
to in Justice Summers article, it
is suggested that he write for
publication in The Leader what
he knows about Kings first
escape from the county farm and
anything else pertinent to the sub
iect. !"
In the first place, / will say JUS
Itice Summers takes too much
credit to himself in claiming that
he decoyed King to Brookhaven
through other parties where be
was arrested by Constable Will
Iiams. / Influenced King to go
to Brookhaven at that time N.Y.
self and carried him there 10 my
buggy, because he claimed to
know who cut some horses in the
neighborhood and promised to
testify before the grand Jury.
If ] seemed to be managing
Kings business as stated by
Mr.. Summers, this was the ex-
planation. If / INDUCED any
hard talk to Constable Williams
| it was because | knew he had not
used proper diligence in trying to
capture King before but as
soon as | had brought him to
town under the ewes of the
Court house for another purpose,
and where it required no effort,
he suddenly became very off,
Icious.
After King had been turned
lover to the county authorities to
serve bis so day sentence and
work out-the S25 fine and costs
against him, ! saw no more of
HIM until | was on my way home
that night, a short distance east
Iof Cameron's store, in company
with j. w. Sartin, w. /. johnson
and Joe Mullin. We had stopped
Fat, Mr. Cameron's store little
while to get something to eat, and
just after we had started and got
Ia short distance, King stepped
lOut on the side Of the road and
spoke to US. On being asked how
Ihe came there, he said he had
been paroled from the county
faIm BY Supt. Posey to go home.
and get his clothes and attend To-
Ia little business and was to return
next morning. ! then offered him
d seat IN my buggy and carried
him part Of the way home. Next
day | saw him and lie told me be-
bad decided not to go back to the
farm and | upbraided him for not
keeping his word and going back
according TO bis promise. The
next time / saw him he said he
had paid Supt. Posey 500 to
Hat him Oft and lie didn't have to.
go back. This is all / know

with King, as what it tells. For
instance, he tells about his and
Constable Williams arresting
King and taking his bond, and
when King failed to appear, try
ing him in his absence. The truth
is, they arrested King, let him
give them the dodge on Perch
Creek, and then afterward went
to his fathers and got him to
give bond for his sons appear
ance, but Bill was M more pres
ent when the bond was gwen than
he was the following Monday
when he was tried and convicted
in his absence.
Mr.. Summers gives as an ex-
cuse for his and Constable Will
liams' not arresting and returning
Bill King to the County farm
after ibis. escape. in the manner
already recited, that he heard /
bad brought him back home
from the farm and paid him off
the farm. IL Justice Summers
knew as much about law as he is
supposed to know, he would have
known that neither / nor any
body else had any authority to
pay for the Imprisonment part Of
Kings sentence.
Justice Summers refers to dep
utizing his son, I. E. Summers,
to arrest King and going with
him, though sick with chiIls and
fever, because Constable Will
liams was not able to go, and
Kings being caught by Deputy
Summers. | would like to ask
Justice Summers if it is not fact
that he had King in his custody on
this same charge on a certain Sun
day before he deputized his son
to arrest him, and turned King
loose on his own recognizance. be-
IcaGsa King promised to 60 into
his court and swear that bad sold
him whisky? King was lying on
me and playing a smart trick on
the Justice to give him the slip,
and he believed him and let him
go. When King was caught after
ward by Deputy T. E. Summers
and carried to court on the Dick
erson charge, he wouldn't take
the stand and repeat the lie he
had told Justice Summers in order
to get on his blind side, knowing
he would be proved a liar, and
this was why the case against me
had to be dismissed.
Mr.. Dickerson. seeing what
farce had been made in dealing
with King by Justice Summers
and Constable Williams, preferred
to have his case dismissed,
and carry it before the
grand jury.
King had it in for me because
the same evening he made the as
sault on Mr.. Dickerson, he came
by my house under the influence
of liquor and made an attack on
me, and ] first snatched flask of
whisky out Of his pocket and
broke it over his head and then
knocked him out with a piece of
scantling.
This is respectfully submitted
as a few more paragraphs of the
(until now unwritten history
about Bill King and the admins
tration of justice In Beat 8.

Assessor 9. w. Maxwell fled
his assessment rolls. with the
Board Of Supervisors Monday,
and the figures make a fine
showing for Lincoln County in
the way Of increase Of values.
The realty assessment gives a
total valuation of 1866, $50 for
1906, an increase over last land
assessment l1902) OF $1,749, ,245,
the assessment being So, ,277, ,405.
The new personally roll foots

all the pledges he made the people
before his election. When he was
candidate for Governor, he
stood alone among the candidates
in his position on the education of
the negro. Today all six of the
candidates who are trying to sue
ceed him stand where be did then.
He referred to the white cap
troubles in this county, and depre-
ciated such methods Of dealing
with the negro. 1t is demoraliz-
ing and wrong and leads to worse
troubles. He had made soIue
enemies by what he had done to
break up such lawIessness, but be
had no apologies to make for do
ing bis duty in yindicatlng the
law, and, if he had it to go over
again he would do the same thing.
He took an oath as Governor to
support the Constitution and en-
force the laws Of the State, and as
long as be is Governor he is 60
ing to do it.
His defeat of the measure au-
thorizing vast moneyed corpora :
tions to own $10,000,000 worth of
land in Mississippi, and his effort
to reform the Penitentiary man
agement and free it from graft
and I-eches were mentioned
among acts of his administration
of which he is proud.
The Governor was enthusiastic
ally appIauded at intervals
during his speech, and can count
more friends in Lincoln county to-
day than ever before.

Pittsburg, Pa, February 24.-Thirty-
two people were injured, three fatally,

car wrecks on the Milvale and Etna

near Bennett, Pa, few miles above
this city when an electric car, carry
ing thirty passengers jumped the
track and went over forty five foot
mbanknient, painfully injuring a ma
jority of the passengers. The second
accident occurred on the same divi-
sion just a mile below the scene of the
first accident and only twenty minutes
later. There were II passengers on
the second car, which also left The
tracks, going over fifteen foot en-
bankment, badly cutting and bruislns
the occupants. Nearly all the passen-
gers on both cars were hurt, but thir-
ty two are known to have sustained
severe injuries, while three are ex-
pected to die. No cause can be as
signed for the wrecks unless the frost

BURIED IN POTTER'S FIELD
None of the Chicago Cemeteries Would
Allow the Interment of Hoch in
Their Grounds.

Chicago, Ill, Feb. 24.-The body of
Johann Hoch lay today in the county
morgue at Dunning, ILL.,, while the tn
dertaker who had agreed 70 en.er the
corpse at his own expense aid the
two clergymen who were on the scaf-
fold yesterday when I1ocll WIS hang
ed, vainly tried to find burial place
After repeated efforts to secure a
final resting place for the body of
Hoch in the city cemeteries. the two
.clergymen finally despaired, and the
body was inferred in the peters field
adjoining the county poo. farm at
Dunning.
The authorities of Waldheinl ceme-
terry refused to allow Hoch TO be bur
led there, as did the officials OF Forest
Home cemetery, and those Of s.. Lu-
cas- cemetery, after the cemetery was
asked by telephone to permit the burial
of Hoch, but all of them refused, say
ing that the owners of cemetery lots
objected to the interment of those who
had been hanged. It was not expected
that objection would be offered at
Waldheim. as in that cemetery, Spiss,
Parsons, Engel and Fischer, the exc
cuted anarchists, are buried, but the
officers of the Waldheim cemetery de-
clared that the burial of the anarchists
had brought such unpleasant notorlety
to their cemetery that under no cir
cumstances would they ever again give
burial to one who had been hanged.
