question, "Can a sinner pray?" and
"Will God hear him?" The church

position that a sinner can pray and

Washington Post, Feb. Is, 1901
The Brownsville raid has been
under investigation by the Senate
Committee on Military Affairs for
two weeks and the mystery as to
the identity of the men who shot up
the town is as deep as IL was before
the inquiry began.
AS far as ascertainlng the names
of the guilty persons whether SOL
diers or citizens, is concerned. the
Investigators have been able TO learn
no more than did Mai. Blocksom, or
Inspector General Darlington.
Twenty-Five witnesses have been
heard and every line Of testimony
thus far adduced has tended TO snow
that the soldiers at Fort Brown had
absolutely nothing TO do with the
raid upon the town. and that an in
Justice was done them by discharg-
ing them without honor.
None but the discharged soldiers
themselves have thus far appeared
as witnesses. and naturally they
have sought TO prove themselves
and their comrades innocent.
The management of the inquiry
has been entirely under the direc-
ton of Senator Foraker. Practi-
Cally every nOu-Colh uiioSiOhSu CA~Ot
of the dismissed battalion ant sew
eral privates have been heard, and
all have told substantially the same
story of the incidents of the night
of the raid. Each has strenuously
denied being implicated In the shoot
ing. and has disclaimed any knowl-
edge concerning the identity OF tne
guilty.
At the same time they have
sought to show that citizens OF
Brownsville, Mexicans and cowboys
shot up the town because OF preJu-
dice against the co!ored soldiers
and for the purpose of having them
withdrawn and white soldiers or
dered to take their places. There
has been no direct testimony onered
to show that the people of the town
did the shooting.

CONVENTIONS OF SOLDIERS.

III their statements are to be be-
lieved. the men of the battalion
were properly accounted for when
the call to arms was sounded on
the night of the raid; that the guns
were all in their racks or accounted
for: that in the morning after the
raid all the guns passed a rigid in
s3ection, showing they had not been
fired and that no ammunition was
missing: that Il is impossible to
clean a gun. after II has been fired,
under twenty-five or thirty minutes
so that Ii would pass inspection,
and that a gun could not be proper
ly cleaned In the dark. All OF this
has tended TO show that the soldiers
were not implicated in the shooting
Furthermore. II has been testi-
fed that when the colored troopers

ton they found a large number OF

He said further. that Voschelle

morning, when he (Voschelle) had

REASON FOR ARREST.

why, / thought maybe they had
found a cap in town with my initials
in it."
Askew in reply to questions said
he had not heard that such a cap
had been found, but he had figured
out while ne was in jail that such
might be the case and that that
might be the reason he had been
arrested. He thought that Mexi-
cans might have gained access to a
box Of old clothing and stolen a cap.
He said that he had come to that
conclusion while he was in Jail as
he could think of no other reason
why he, ''an innocent man." should
be put in confinement. He did not
know whether the cap ne had given
TO Turner had been taken to Browns
Vile.

He had left the hospital 90 go TO

He was told by the sergeant In

Coming out of the canteen with
his pie Harden encountered Mai.

THREAT TO GET EVEN.

Nolan said that a few nights be-
fore the shooting. Private Newton.
a Negro soldier, came to the hospi-
tai for treatment. His face was
badly bruised, and Nolan asked him
how he was injured. According
to NoIans story Newton said that
he was in town and that a
man knocked him down with the
butt of his six-shooter without rea
son. Nolan told the man 1t was
funny he did not know the reason
for the assault, and Newton insist
ed that he did not. Nolan said
that Newton then said:
"Well, that's the way 1t was, but
well fix the - - yet.
Nolan said he told the man he
should not talk that way; that he
would get into trouble.
On cross examination, Nolan said
there was only one call to arms, and
that was sounded by the musician at
the guard house and twenty-five TO
thirty minutes elapsed between the
first shot and the call to arms.
William Mapp was called for
cross examination. He Is the man

Bullets went over the hospital and

about five minutes after the call TO

ASKED SENATOR A QUESTION.
Senator Warner sought to cross
examine the witness. and was ask
ing him about the sound OF gallon
ing horses which he said he heard
when the witness, whose answers
had previously caused laughter,
suddenly interrupted the Senator by
saying:
"Jes' yo' wait right there one
minute, Senator; let me AK. you a
question, will you?"
"Well, go ahead. then: I'll sub
nit" said Senator Warner, good
naturedly.
Now, jes' YOU s'posin' a case"
the witness went on; "s'posin' youse

The dignity of the committee was
upset and the Senator'S shouted.
Senator Warner admitted his ability
TO distinguish between such sounds.
but the cross examination after that
did not amount 20 much. The COM
mittee was in no mood 10 be serious
