THE NIGHT RIDER TRIALS.
First Days Testimony in the Tennes
 see Case.

Union City, Tenn, Dec. 20.--The state made maternal progress in the first days testimony in the nigat rider trial. Testimony covering the details of the murder of Capt. Ranken and supporting an identification of two of the prisoners as members Of t.le masked band was presented.
 The prisoners. unkempt, scowiing and silent, paid little attention to fray any emotion. One witness who had been sworn into the band against his will testined that the only part of the oath he remembered was that providing that they would kill him If he revealed anything. At this some of the prisoners grinned.
 Ed. Powell was an important wit ness for the state Powell was dragged from his bed the night of the Ranken murder and forced to ac- company the band to the Walnut Log hotel, from which Ranken and Tay- Tor were taken. Powell says he recog- nized Garrett Johnson and Roy Ran som as members of the band.
 When the riders took Ranken and Taylor from the hotel into the woods they took Powell along, too. he said. lie heard them questioning the two men as 10 their title 10 the land in the Reelfoot district. Near the spot where Ranken was murdered they falied Powell until the crime was done When they asked him if he recognized any of them, and when he said no. they told him to tell Ward, the hotel proprietor. to come down for the bodies of his guests
 lowell was arrested by the soldiers and testified before the coroner that he failed to recognize the riders, bU did 50 because he feared for his life
