Ingram Repeats His Story Of Visit Of Two Accused to His
Place.

day morning and making the affidav-
il. Ingram declared that the night
riders had done everything they had
said they would do and that the east
ern portion OF Galloway county was
so thick with them that II was dan
gerous for anyone to live there not
in sympathy with them. He was un-
shaken on cross examination and
stoutly declared that he was forced
to make the false affidavits under
fear of death: that he was brought to
town by Peter Kirk and kept with
him until the AFFIDAVIT was made;
that Kirk took the affidavit and so
far as the witness knows Kirk still
has the affidavit in his possession.
RandaIph's Testimony.
Attorney T. w. Randolph who
wrote the affidavit, said that Kirk
came in with the boy and they went

in to dictate the affidavit and the at

Defense.
Garland's father took the stand as
an alibi witness, but said he thought
he and his son were at work on
house that day.
In his decision Judge Wells before
whom the case was tried, declared II
was a case for the grand jury to in
yestigate ana held the defendants to
answer.
The court declared that he was
driven to the conclusion that Ingram
told the truth about the burning of
the barn. because on four occasions
he had described the burning minute
ly and without deviating as to tho
vital points. He believed Ingram
fell into the hands of night riders
and was forced TO make retracting

Ingram Is about is years old and
does not appear very intelligent
though he told a straightforward
story on the witness stand He is In
Jail in lieu of $500 bond for perjury.
His case will be investigated by tho

THE BLIGHT OF BRYANIsM.
How 1t Has Affected the Demo.
cratic Party In Kentucky.

New York World
William Jennings Bryan made
six speeches in Kentucky during
the campaign of 1897. The State
responded with a Republican
plurality of 1903 and turned
Democratic administration out of
office.
A few weeks ago Mr.. Bryan
went to Frankfort and urged the
Democratic members of the Leg
islature to elect John 9. W.
Beckham to the United States
Senate. Mr.. Bryan's influence
was SO great that although the
Democrats had a majority of
eight on joint ballot, the Ken
lucky Legislature yesterday
elected ex-Gov. William O. Brad
ley, a Republican. to succeed
James B. McCreary, a Demo,
crat.
This is another brilliant tri-
umph of Organism. It repre-.
sents the sort of victory which
for twelve years the Democratic
party has been achieving und, r
Mr.. Bryan's Peerless Leadt r.
ship.
In 1896, when Mr.. Bryan was
first nominated for President,
there were thirty-nine Demo
Gratis and forty two Republicans
in,-the United States Senate.
To-day there are thirty-ore
Democrats and sixty-one Re
publicans. When Mr.. Bradley
takes the seat of Mr.. McCrcary,
if Mr.. Bryan's leadership con-
tinues, there will not be more.
than thirty Democrats to sixty
two Republicans.
Not single Democratic vos e
will be necessary even for the
ratification of a treaty. The Re
publican majority can split int
, two eqnal factions and each fac
5 tion outvots the Democratic mi
nority. The Democrats in the
Senate of the United States will
. have returned to their despair
. ing status during Grants &C
ministration.
, How much longer can The
Democratic party survive tkt
blight of Bryanism?
