POINTS OUT ASSAILANT
MISS SHELTON IDENTIFIED COL
oRED MAN AT LYNSHEURG.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
LYNCHBURG, Va, January 12.-Peter
Hudson, one of the five ne Sroes suspected
of assaulting Miss Gladys Shelton, in AM
herst county Monday afternoon, was iden-
titled at police headquarters this afternoon
by the young woman, the men having
been brought here on the noon train from
Rustburg, where they had been in Jail since
Tuesday.
The girl did not point out Hudson imme-
diately upon seeing the five men lined up
before her. fifteen or twenty minutes clap
sing before she would declare that he was
the guilty one. Finally she declared she
was positive that she could not be wrong.
From the first she has claimed that her
assailant was either Hudson or another
negro named Miller.
This evening at q o'clock Sheriff Beard,
who was accompanied by j. ]. Funk, a
Baldwin detective, took Hudson to Ro-
anoke, where he will be kept until tried
Hudson denies all knowledge of the crime,
and protests that he will be able to prove
an alibi.
The police kept the arrangements for the
identification quiet, and few knew any
thing of it until it was over. When the
result was known there was much excite
ment in the city, Main street being crowd
ed by people discussing the matter.
The Amherst officials realize that every
precaution will be necessary to prevent a
lynching. 1t Is understood that Common
wealth's Attorney Evans will make an eff
fort to secure special term of the Am
herst county grand jury to dispose of the
case promptly. There is no doubt but the
military will be required to protect the
negro when he is carried to Amherst court
house for trial.

MUST ELECT HIM.
Friends Say That He Should Be Next
Senator.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
LINCOLN, Neb.. January 12.-The bot
tom has about fallen out of the proposed in
vestigation Of Attorney General Browns
conduct of certain cases in which the state
was a party. Present indications are that
the resolutions to Investigate will be tabled
Monday and that Brown will be elected
Senator Tuesday.
The resolution was introduced by a flu
sonist after the caucus had refused to
sanction such action, and prominent fusion
lists said today that only a few of them
would vote for the resolution. The repub
licans will be solid against 1t on the ground
that the charges are rehash of campaign
stories and their filing was withheld until
too late for an investigation before bal
lot senator was imperative.
1t has been decided to hold caucus
upon senator. Brown received the nominal
ton in the republican state convention and
also preferential vote at the last cleo
ton. His friends take the stand that there
fore the legislature has but one duty to
perform, elect him.
Since the session began a lobby of rail-
road politicians lumbermen and grain
dealers whom Brown prosecuted in tax and
trust cases has been present, trying to rig
up a scheme to defeat him, and If possible
re-eect Senator Willard.

under the substitute any man in the United
States can prefer any charge he may see
fit to make. The difference, and the only
difference. is that whoever makes charge
under the substitute must either avow his
own readiness to prove or else must furnish
the name of some witness who can testify
in support of it,
The committee to be appointed will be
exactly the same, both in numbers and In
personnel, whether appointed under the
resolution under the substitute, and
therefore one investigation will be as fair
under the one under the other The
people of Texas cannot be deceived into be-
Heving that l desire to prevent or to post
pone simply because l insist in common
fairness l am to be accused by somebody
and have the accusation supported by some
witness before | again subjected to the
modification of being investigated; and the
people of Texas will easily perceive that
the subtitute offered by my friends permits
wider investigation than the original
resolution. Again. l will say. that the diff
ference. and the only difference, in that I'M
der the original resolution l am required
to meet vague charges for which nobody is
responsible, which l under the substitute
will be compelled to answer when somebody
is willing to charge and what somebody
will promise to prove.

dead by the side of the track of the Aber-
deem and Asheboro railroad. near STAR N.
c., where a freight train had run over it
during the night One leg and one arm
were severed. and the body was cut and
bruised in numerous places. The peculiar
appearance of wounds on the head and
neck lead to an investigation by the coro-
ner The jury returned verdict to the
effect that the deceased had been killed
with an ak or some other sharp implement
and the body placed on the railroad track
to conceal the crime. - ......,.

The Mexican embassy here has been in
formed that the Mexican government has
dispatched Senior Don Jose F. Godoy, the
Mexican minister to Cuba, to Washington
to take charge of the embassy pending the
arrival of Senior Enrique Creel, the newly
appointed ambassador, who will not reach
this city until early spring. Senior Godoy
was formerly first secretary of the en-

lister to Cuba, which post he will again
occupy upon the arrival here of the ambas-
sador. Senior Godoy is expected In New

TWO KILLED; SIX INJURED.
Snow in the West Continues to Tie
Up Roads.

ST. PAUL, January 12.-As yet there is
no relief in sight for the western railroads.
Continued snow storms and heavy winds
are piling the tracks in North Dakota and
Montana with such drifts that it is almost
impossible to get trains through. Drifts are
ten feet high on each side, and the snow ac-
cumulates faster than it can be shoveled
away All of the roads have special crews
and snow plows working night and day to
clear the tracks, but as high winds con-
tinue, it is at present impossible to get the
tracks clear.
Considerable anxiety is expressed in st.
Paul for the passengers on trains which
have been stalled two three days in
North Dakota. Fuel and provisions are
being provided by the neighboring villages
and also by relief trains. There has been
no report of suffering. Several Great
Northern trains are snow bound somewhere
on the plains.
Two workmen were killed and six others
were injured last night in a collision of
work trains al Lakota, n. D.. on the Great
Northern railway, during binding snow
storm.

ing with his wife yesterday morning at
the sanitarium she slipped a note in his
hand which was addressed to her mother
in this city. In this note which was shown
to Mr.. Ambrose and the others attorneys
Mrs. Kayne wrote: Dear Mother-Get me

Certificate of Physician.
Near the close of the conference of the
attorneys a certificate from DR.. Louis A.
Johnson of 100 street southwest relative
to the physicians opinion to whether
Mrs. Kayne is insane was read. In the
certificate it was explained that DR.. john
son gave his opinion that Mrs. kayne was
of sound mind when he last saw her, as
shown by the certificate which the attor-
neys allowed to be copied and which was
as follows:
January L, 1907.
This is to certify that Mrs. Florence W.

dition at the time l last saw her.
LOUIS A. JOHNSON, NJ D.
What Attorney Ambrose Says.
Mr.. Ambrose explained that although
there had been some talk to the contrary,
Dr. Kayne had always gotten along well
with his wife, and at the time she was
taken from the family apartment they were
happily disposed toward one another. Later,
when DR.. kayne was seen by Star re-
porter, he stated that at the present time
he was not engaged in active practice of
his profession, but that for a number of
years he had resided in Philadelphia and
New York, where he had practiced for a
time. He also states that he had resided
for a number of years in Nashville, and
was well acquainted with a number of
prominent people. He added that he was
that he and his wife had lived happily to-
gether since.
Mrs. Conklin, his Wife's mother, Dr.
kayne states, was at his apartment in the
Alexis, and that she sympathZed with him
in the trouble. 1t is understood that both
DR.. kayne and his father-in-law are
wealthy.

corded it only as an act of condescension
on the part of the coroner. The anomaly
of this is apparent; the persons who would
be required to prosecute any person held
by the jury were given free rein TO inter-
rogate the witnesses, while /, who was eX-
pected to defend some of them, including
the man at whom the testimony was main
ly directed, was denied any right III tire
premises. The bill proposes by its third
section to place the conduct If the pro-
ceedings of an inquest SO far as respects
producing and examining witnesses on the
part of the United States, in the hands of
the district attorney and his assistants, and
to give the right to any person affected, or
liable to be affected, by the inquiry to pro-
duce and examine witnesses, either by HIM
self or through counsel. And 1t further
proposes to give any person affected, o.
liable to be affected, the right to apply to
justice of the Supreme Court of the Dis
trct of Columbia to have the hearing trans
ferred to such justice or one designated by
him.
Beyond Scope of Inquest.
"At the recent inquest, the scope of the
inquiry, which should have been limited to
ascertaining the cause of death of the per-
son whose death was being inquired into,
was given a wide range and made to cover
matters wholly without the scope of
coroner's inquiry, such as the conduct of
the railroad company it's officials after
the accident, which could. by no possibility,
shed any light upon the question of the
liability of those thought to be responsible.
Moreover hearsay testimony of all kinds
and opinion evidence given upon matters
not the subject of such evidence. and by
persons not shown to be qualified to give it,
were freely admitted. and the matter was so
handled that witness after witness was re-
peatedy recalled and matters previously
covered repeatedly gone over again. so as
to make the record a vertable I~cchwork
If the law We're that the di trict attorney
should present the case to the jury, he
would do so in orderly fashion. and much
time would thereby be saved, and persons
interested in the inquest would be spared
the expense of an unduly protracted hear
ing; and should the exigency arise,
cent experience demonstrates that it may
arise, it is eminently proper that justice
of the Supreme Court should preside over
an inquest just as, under existing law, he
presides over inquisitions in lunacy.

Says It's a Misrepresentation.

THE statement that if 1 have done no
wrong 1 ought to demand an investiga-
ton sounds well enough until it is
analysed. but it proceeds upon a msap-
prehenson of what it means to investi-
gate the conduct of man whom the state
of Texas has honored with one of her
senatorships. l would rather be indicted
as citizen in private life than to be in
vestigated a senator from Texas; and
the fact that my exoneration will follow
an inquiry into my conduct would no more
reconcile me to an investigation than the
fact that a citizen acquitted upon trial
would reconcile him to being indicted.
LAS l now recall it, Texas is the only
southern state that has ever thought it
necessary to investigate the conduct of a
democratic senator, and that fact it seems
is sufficient that an investigation should

Demanded an. Investigation.

six years ago when my enemies as
sailed me about this Waters Pierce OIL Co.
transaction l demanded an investigation;
but l first requested my friends to strike
out that part of the preamble to the reso-
luton which recited that it had been
charged, and to substitute for it that a
member of the House of Representatives
had made the charges. With that amend
ment the resolution was adopted and the
investiga ton ordered. conducted and
concluded. But the legislative record shows
that the man who offered the resolution,
when called upon for his statement under
OATH admitted to the committee that he
could not swear to any fact or circumstance
that would tend to prove his charge. With
that experience in my mind l will be ex-
cused for insisting in this instance upon
some definite charge, for which some rep
utable man is willing to vOuch.
1.-The commonest negro in Texas cannot
be tried for petty theft except upon a
specific charge preferred against him and
supported by the oath or affirmation of
some witness. Certainly the democrats of
Texas do not regard the reputation of their
senator entitled to less protection than
the law affords to an ignorant and vicious
negro.

An Act of Condescension.

Under existing law the coroner claims
the absolute right to conduct an inquest
both as respects the witnesses to be pro-
duced and their examination, and denies
that any one but himself has any right
either to produce or to inter:ogate a wit
ness. In the recent inquest the coroner
was most efficiently aided in framing and
missioners. and while the representatives of
the district attorneys office were freely
permitted to question the Witnesses l was
