LITTLE EVIDENCE
 AGAINST SHIP Prisoner Waller Only Hears Mob After Negro TRIAL IS DlSAPPOIN TING Testifies as to Conversation Between Deputy and Roach as to the
 Lynchlng Being
 Planned.
TRIAL IS DISAPPOIN TING

Chattanooga, June 12.-Arthur Waller was the star witness today in the case of contempt of the United States supreme killed Dr. Fenalson in this county and IS serving term of two years at Brushy Mountain mines for voluntary manslaugh- ter. He was brought to Chattanooga for the purpose of testifying in this case.
 If the rumors preceding the testimony of Waller are correct, the government did not prove all that they hoped to by him. It was rumored and published in the papers that the attorneys hoped to bring out the fact that there was a conspiracy between some of the deputies and mem- bers of the mob to arrange matters so that they could easily get at Ed Johnson. However Waller could tell nothing about the arrangements on the floor where the negro was confined, nor could he identify any of the mob, though he heard voices and saw figures of the men composing it.
 conversation which is alleged to have taken place between George Brown, who was day jailer at the county jail when the lynching of Johnson occurred, and John Roach, who Is now serving a term at Brush Mountain mines on charge of abtaining money under false pretense, was the chief matter brought out in his testimony. Waller testified that either on the afternoon of the lynching or the day proceeding Roach had asked Captain Brown at the entrance to the floor which they were occupying whether Ed Johnson was to be lynched that night and that Brown had replied, q don't know but it looks pretty warm outside
 Waller also stated that Harry Fitzsim- mons who was In jail at that time on the charge of murder, had been occupying a cell on the floor where Johnson was con fined and that Ftzsimmons had been re- moved to the lower floor several times. John Roach was brought into the testi mony throughout It developed that Roach, who is said to be the sharpest sort of fellow. was cherishng hopes of getting his freedom, and that while the two were confined in the Jail at Knoxville awaiting the ruling of the supreme court on their cases, Roach had sent for Dis trlct Attorney J. R. Penland and had told him about the conversation WI Jailer Brown. MT Penland did not talk with Waller at that time, but later went to Brushy Mountain to see him and at that time secured written statement. Waller admitted that he knew Roach had been rendered infamous by the crime that he had committed and so could not tes- tify. and he also knew that if the alleged conversation was to be repeated in court he himself would have to do it. Though Roach had hoped to get out, Waller stated that he had no expectancy of free dom or any ohter reward for testifying in the case
 A number of other witnesses were ex- amined but little evidence of consequence was adduced. In asking for adjournment till tomorrow morning MT. Penland stated that there would be three more witnesses for the government and that he would finish with them tomorrow morning.
