witnesses Arrive. ,sl
The Louisville and Nashville train
from Pensacola last night brought to
the city all of the witnesses except one
for whom attachments had been issued
Monday. The one exception was con-
fined In the jail of Monroe County and
reached here tonight On the train in
also came to gsima the States, most i'm
portant witness. Annie Andrews of
Mrs. Jack Pole.
The appearances OF Annie Andrews,
one OF the States principal witnesses,
in court this morning caused consider
able Curiosity among the spectators.
They were some what disappointed in
the appearance of the witness who had
been torn from the home of her convict
husband yesterday and brought here
last night to testify against her half
brother.
The girl was 4 mere child on the
| night OF the. tragedy three years ago
and when she appeared In the court
room THIS morning she appeared too
youthful for q married woman.
In connection with the appearance of
Annie Andrews In court the witnesses
have been asked the whereabouts of
| Clarence Andrews, her brother. Both
| Annie and Clarence were children in
| the Andrews home on the night of the
killing.
Among the witnesses today there has
been much speculation upon the
strange disappearance Of the boy Clar-
| ence Andrews. Some think that he has
been foully dealt with. One citizen OF
| Camden who was here today said the
people of Wilcox County believe he has
been killed. This boy would be an i'm
portant witness for the State but the
State will do without him.
The principal witnesses of the after
| noon were Annie Andrews and her
| brother, A. @. Andrews.
! Previously to the calling Of these
| witnesses. J. w. Stewart was recalled
and after him G. e. Hunter, H. H. Daies
| J. w. Fuller, ]. w. Lanham and w. r,
Boulevard, were put on the witness
stand. Their testimony revolved around
the telegram which Bob Andrews had
sent to John Andrews from Mcwil-
j
drews buying pistol cartridges at Rep.
ton and the two brothers meeting or
the train and going to Schuster, where
that night Jim Andrews and his wife
were killed.
With their testimony the State en-.
deavored to lay a predicate to show
trat there had been a conspiracy be.
tween the two brothers, but the cour;
ruled out the most of the evidence.
Annie Andrews Called.
Annie Andrews was then called Il
the stand. She told of the ARRIVAL OF
Bob and John Andrews at the home
of their father. She said John madt
his father get up out Of bed and there
was a scufae between the two. The

family and the incidents connecting tbs
between her father and John began

younger brother and the baby and left
/ the house. They had gone but q short
/ distance when four shots were heard
They returned aud saw Jim Andrews
and his wife lying in the yard.
From where she stood, near the rail-
i road track, the girl said she saw Bama
| Andrews run out Of the house with
John Andrews in pursuit, and he, in
turn. was followed by his father. At
| ter they had returned, Bob Andrews
/ stopped over Bana Andrews and went
to the body OF his father. and from his

although the attorneys referred to the
/ testimony which she had given during
| previous trials.

| had met John and Bob Andrews at the
railroad station. but he did not arrive
