EvANs-sANDERs ON TOP
But It's Only Very Small Bone
They Got.

Washington, d. c., Dec. lit
looked almost like the lobby of a Nash
vile hotel at the New Willard tonight,
so decided a Tennessee aspect was there
presented; but it was a Tennessee Re
publican aspect, such as is to be seen
on occasions of the gathering of the fac
tions. There were here Chairman New
ell Sanders, Henry Evans; Internal Rev
enue Collector Robert S. Sharp, and Fl.
S. Chamberlain, Of Chattanooga; United
States District Attorney A. M. Tillman,
Marshal John w. Overall G. N. Till
man, of Nashville; Ernest Essary, Of

R. Penand and Marshal w a. Dunlap,
Of the Eastern District. They had been
to the White House this afternoon and
given things there also a pronounced
Tennessee hue. Congressman Brown

Saturdays Proceedings.

Hon. Seid Waddell, secretary and
treasurer of the West Tennessee LanC
Company, was called to the witness
stand to give evidence against the Night.
riders. He testified to the formation ot
the land company, titles and such thing:
that led up to the killing of Capt. Ran
kin. He stated that he met Mr.. Car
penter and made arrangements with
him for Col. Taylor and Capt. Rankin
to meet him at Walnutlog, to which
place they went
Bill Johnson was the next witness
called He testified that he was at Wal
nutlog at the time of the killing, and
said that Garrett Johnson was there,
and he supposed Arthur Cloar was
there. He said the first shot that was
fired sounded as il it came from a pis-
tol, and came from the direction where
Frank Fehringer was standing, and that
he himself took two cracks at Rankin
as his body swung in the air
Will Roberts was the third witness
for the day. He stated than he met
Arthur Cloar while he lived in Lake
County, and Arthur asked him Il he
didn't want to join the Nightriders He
told him no, and Arthur said be would
have to go with them one light, and
that they were going over and take
Judge Harris head He said. he met
Cloar about two weeks ago, and Arthur
told him he wanted him TO be light on
him this time. On ross-examinatloh
he stated that no one was present when
this was done.
Thomas Cloar was then introduced.

spend the night, while Col Taylor and
Capt. Rankin went to the Log Hotel,
but said he knew nothing of the inten-
tions Of the Nightriders or anything
about the crime until next morning,
when he was informed by a man sum-
moning the coroner's jury. He was
cross-examined very briefly
The commercial. (Union City, Tenn.) 190?-193?, 1909-12-17
He knew nothing Of the killing OF Capt.

He knew nothing of the killing of Capt.
Rankin.
Fred Burchard was then introduced.
He testified to being at the hotel on the
night Capt. Rankin was assassinated, of
being awakened by the Nightriders, of
visiting the scene of the killing in COM
pany with p G. Ward and others, of
finding the body of Capt. Rankin with
a rope around his neck, the other end
of which was thrown through the fork
Of tree. He also described the wounds
on Capt. Rankin's body. A rope was
presented to the witness, and he was
asked to identify it as the rope found
on the body of Capt. Rankin, but the
witness failed to identify it as the one
used; said he thought the rope found
on the body was cotton rope, while
the one presented in court was grass
rope.
SAYS CLoAR WAS THERE.
Dolph Hicks was then called and
asked as to the night of the murder,
He stated that Garrett Johnson was not
there SO far as he knew, but said that
Arthur Cloar was there. On being
asked how heJ knew he was there, he
stated that all the men present wore
masks, but that he knew Arthur Cloar
by his voice and by his walk.
There is quite contrast between this
and the preceding trials of the alleged
Nightriders None of the bitterness of
the attorneys in the case is being mani
tested this time, and not a single time
so far has the court had to order the
jury to retire from the room. Every
thing points to speedy trial. as some
of the most important witnesses have
been examined in less than half the
time required at the other trials
The commercial. (Union City, Tenn.) 190?-193?, 1909-12-17
cLoAR WAS THERE.

Ethelbert Rogers was then called.
He stated on direct examination that
he was there and that Arthur Cloar was
there and stayed with the horses, and
that Garrett Johnson was there. On
cross-examination he stated that some
one in the crowd said it was Garrett
Johnson, andsthat was why he said
johnson was there.

the case was in progress as follows:
p. @. Ward proprietor of tine hotel
at Walnutlog, at which place Col. r. q.
Taylor and Capt Quentin Rankin were
stopping or the night Capt. Rankin
was hanged, and at which time Col
TavIor made his most miraculous es-
cape. was the first witness introduced
by the State. His evidence was very
much the same as in the previous trials.
He was at home on the night of the
murder, and being awakened by Ed
Powell calling him, and coming out

who informed him that they wished to
see Col. Taylor and Capt. Rankin. He

and his miraculous escape through the
swamps Of Lake County. Col. Taylor
was examined very lengthily as to the
formation and workings of the West

introduced in his evidence more than
at the previous trials. He swore that
he would not have known any of
the men that we're present that
