 "The assault by Senator Tillman upon MT. Dorr was, according to the report of the inspectors, a wanton as- sault made to cover up Senator Till mans Oregon transactions.
 q call your attention to the letter of MT. Dorr to the Postmaster General, and date of November 22, 1908 (Ex- hibit ED, in which he asks for relief from the cases which Senator Tillman had brought against him, saying that he had no knowledge that Senator Tillman desired his operations to be kept hidden and secret from general public knowledge.

Bessemer, January S.-(Speeial. )-Deputy sheriffs Lucien Brown, G. ". Jones' Sid Cowan, R. T. Jones, A. L. Wilson and Sheriff Jones, and deputy from Aber- deen, Miss, went to Hueytown on Thurs day evening and placed under arrest Bud Bailey, wanted in Mississippi on the charge of escaping from prison after be- ing given 10 years for murder in the see- ond degree, and while an appeal was pending in the supreme court of Missis- sippi. The deputies had little trouble in arresting the man, who was at his fathers home, although Deputy G. w. Jones stated that Bailey was found in the attic, where he had crawled after the of ficers had reached the house. He made no effort to escape and submitted to ar rest. Bailey is charged with the killing of a negro and the jury rendered a verdict of murder in the second degree and sen fenced him to 10 years in the penitentiary
 Attorneys for the accused appealed the case, and it was while waiting for the de- cision of the supreme court that he, with two others, made their escape, and Bailey returned to his fathers home in Jeffer- son county. Bailey is sure that he will be acquitted if he can secure a new trial. One of the men escaping with Bailey was man named Harding, who formerly lived in Bessemer, but who had been arrested and convicted in Mississippi for the same offense, his term being fixed at three years, but as in the other case an appeal was pending
