First of Night Rider Cases
Was Taken Up Yes
terday.
STRONGLY UNIDENTIFIED
Commonwealth Made Out a
Strong Case By Three
Witnesses.

The case of Mat Ghofston, charged
with the participation in the night
rider raid on Hopkinsville, was call
ed yesterday and trial entered into
with the following jury from the
regular panel:
John Deason, l.. L. Nichols, Tom
johnson, j. J. Cox. Bartlett Yancey,
VIM. Pyle, j. M. Wilkins, r. j. Lacy,
Basil Roberts, j. D. Capps, Perry
Knight and Mike Wolfe.
T. E. Lawson was the first witness
for the prosecution. He testified
that he saw Gholston with the night
riders guarding West Seventh street.
He didn't know him at the time, but
found out afterwards who the half
breed was. Gholston is a negro with
Indian blood, who lives near the
city and came from north of town.
Judge Lawson's evidence was pos
tive and emphatic and was not
shaken by cross examination. D. H.
Thomson also swore that his atten-
ton was called to negro with the
night riders under his. window but
that he did not recognize him.
Ben Evitts testified that he saw
Gholston returning from town at
2:55, that he stopped and asked him
the time. Evitts lived near the
spring from which Gholston got wa
ter. Gholston said he was on his
way home.
Lewis Woodbridge, colored, testi-
fed that he saw Gholston riding out
Clay street towards the Greenville
road after the raid, before daylight,
some distance behind seven or eight
other masked men. A shawl or
something used as mask had slip
ped from over his face and he saw
him distinctly and positively identi-
fed him as the man on trial. The
street lights were burning. Witness
was persistently cross. examined by
G. w. Southall, but stuck to his

Kew. Z. NJ. Gordon, Christian
Missionary, Found
Dead.
WAS LOCATED IN INDIA
Gas Was Turned on by the
Falling of a Towel on
Loose Cut Off.

Rev. E N. Gordon, a missionary
of the Christian church, supported
by the Hopkinsville Christian church,
was found dead in the bath room of
the parsonage yesterday at $50
a. M, by Rev. H. D. Smith, the
pastor of the church. Mr.. Gordon
had planned to leave on the z a. m.
train and was called at o'clock but
did not answer. A little later he
was called again and still did not
answer. At $50 DR.. Smith went up
stairs to his room and knocked, but
received no answer entered the room
and found that Mr.. Gordon's bed
was vacant. AS it was getting close
to his train time, DR.. Smith suppos-
ing he would be found in the bath
room called to him and then entered
the bath room, where he was found
dead on the floor. He had on his
night clothes and socks. The gas
fixture near the floor, used for turning
on gas for heating the bath tub,
was open and the room filed with
gas. DR.. Smith quickly raised the
window and went to DR.. Gordon's
assistance, but he had evidently
been dead some time.
The most probable theory is that
the cutoff, which was very loose,
had been turned by the dropping of
towel that was lying on it and the
escaping gas suffocated him as he
leaned over the wash stand. This
probably occurred at least half an
hour before his body was discovered.
An inquest was held by the coro-
ner yesterday morning and a verdict
of death from accidental asphyxia-
ton was rendered.
Rev. E. M. Gordon had been a
missionary for nearly 20 years. He
was SO years old and was born in
India, being a son of a British officer.
He was partly educated in this coun-
try and for several years had been
located at Mungeli, India, as the
special missionary of the Hopkins
vile Christian church. He was in
America on a vacation and his wife
and one child, a daughter 8 years
old, are now in Philadelphia. He
came here Sunday to hold a mission
airy rally and preached to a very
arge audience and at a collection |
taken up $3.50 was raised.
Tuesday night he attended the
graduating exercises of South Ken
lucky College with DR.. Smith and
vas in the best of health and spirits.
He was one of the trustees of the |
Bible Society and was a
Minister of high standing in his de-

Potatoe.. Onion. and yexetabIc.

The large supplies OF tomatoes that had been
accommodating for several days were added to
yesterday by heavy arrivals from both the bay
and river growing districts and the disposition
of the enormous surplus presented a serious
problem to the receivers. Values were low and
irregular, dealers not haggling over
prices and buyers able to secure sup
plies at their figure IN many instances.
No relief is expected from the Gamers, as
they are said to be turning down contract sup
niles in the country, which accounts for the
heavy influx into this market. Among the
other vegetables, peas. beans and picked Gu
