SOME PADUCAHANs TESTIFY

Feeling that he has fully wildcat
ed himself in his stand regarding
the alleged Punishment of Mrs. J.. T.
Latham from Padu"ah in August,
1864, by Union troops, General II. A.
Tyler, of Hickman, returned home
yesterday afternoon with a grip wen
filled with letters and testimonials
from old residents of the city and
from survivors of the refugees.
1.-THE reason | collected this data
is to show beyond a doubt that Mrs
Latham was not banished, and I
think | have succeeded" General
Tyler explained. 81 have worked
hard but accomplished a great deal
in the short time | have been here
What | intend to do with the data
secured is to spread it broadcast
among both my friends and those
who have opposed me in my stand.
There is no honor in what ! have ac-
complished, only the satisfaction thar
/ have accomplished a good for the
cause"
General Tyler considers that he
has sufficiently overwhelming proof
on his side, but will secure one or
two statements more to finally clinch
his case.

THOMAS GIBSON CONVICTED.
The Jury Returns Verdict in the
State Bonds Suit.

Columbia, Feb. 21.-The jury in
the case Of Thomas J. Gibso4., charg-
ed with knowingly receiving stolen
bonds taken from the. State Treas
urer's Office by Daniel Zimmerman,
which has been on trial here this
week, after being out a short time re-
turned a verdict of guilty, with recon-
mendation to mercy.
The case is one Of the saddest in
the recent criminal history of the
State Half a dozen of the best men
in the community swore to his good
reputation, yet a jury Of II goc1 men,
feeling it their duty, pomptly con-
victed him, and no doubt On account
Of his extreme i'll health and age
recommended him to the mercy of
the court.
Tom Gibson is now beyond the age
Of "a. He is bent with age and pal
sled His mind is clear and active
Perhaps it was too active today and
his frivolity on the stand may have
operated against him.
Solicitor Davis and Mr. Thurmond,
who handled the case for the State,
did so with judgment and force. In
the first place they narrowed the
charge down to two specific bonds Of
which they had the complete history,
and with these two bonds handled in
one sale they avoided any confusion.
The evidence against Mr.. Gibson
was in the main that Of Daniel Zim-
norman, who alleged that Gibson
suggested the plan to him, but today
two little things developed in his tes-
timony that operated against him.
Oneewas that he went out and bought
for Zimmerman coupons. These cou-
pons were presumably to be used by
Zimmerman to cover up the amount
Of coupons that would have to come
in at the appointed interest period.
and the second incident that hurt his
case was that a Charleston client dis
covered mistake of s120 and sent
the money to Mr.. Gibson to be re-
funded to the State. and instead Of
refunding the S12O he. used it and
stated that he did SO because he was
in need of money, and intended to
repay it, and has done so in part to
Capt. Jennings.
The statute is not clear as to the
punishment except that it makes it a
misdemeanor and leaves the sentence
to the discretion of the judge. Mr.
Crawford, who had made a, supert
fight for his client, save notice of ar
appeal and will no doubt take the
case to the supreme court. The peo-
pie of the community are universally
sorry for Mr.. Gibson's two daughters
who have watched the trial with the
keenest interest and sorrow. The yer.
dict of the jury was perhaps sur
prise to many and particularly the
promptness with which the jury rem.
dered its j4dgment.-News and Cou.

Citizens Petition Gov. Ansel to Reap

of Duty.


of Duty.
Greenvi1le, Feb. 26.-Believing the
proper enforcement Of the States an
ti-liquor law is impossible in Green
vile county without the aid Of spe-
cially appointed constables, more than
200 prominent citizens have signed a
petition asking Go. Ansei to reap
point certain constab bles recently re-
lived from duty here under the Ca
rey-Cothan act. En- view Of the
fact that the governor has already
appointed several special constables, it
is regarded as certain that he will de-
tail two ort three officers for work in
Greenville county. On account of
proximity Of the mountains and the
moonshiners, Greeeenville has always
been the home Of the Illicit distillery
and dealer and during the past year
the federal revenue officers and State
constables have captured an average
of two illicit whiskey-m making plants
week. The sheriff of the county has
acknowledged his inability to keep
down the traffic unaided and it is pc
culiarly necessary that at least two
or three constables be assigned to this
territory if the liquor law is to be en-
forced.
