CHERRY, Ill, Nov. 19.-Science and
desperate have greatly checked the fire
that snuffed out 80 olives last Saturday
in the ST. Paul coal mine; men braved to-
day the fire-swept tunnels to bring to the
surface the dead; charity has poured aid
into the homes of the suffering survivors,
but all this could not subdue the grief of
Cherrys Inhabitants when the sight of the
dead lifted from the tomb exploded their
hopes that men might be rescued alive.
1t has been six days since the fire start
ing in a bale of hay swept the breadwin-
ners of this community to their doom,
and in all that time of anxiety but five
bodies OF the entombed have been recov-
cred, four of them today and one last
night. Tomorrow, however, iit Is expected
that many more of the dead will be re-
covered. More were found today and ex-
plorers working deep into the second gal
lery were forced to flee for their lives as
they were about to bring them out when
falling earth and rock endangered them
Tonight miners were put to work in
the galleries replacing the burned timbers
and clearing distractions which impede ac-
cess into the coal veins for more than
200 feet from the main shaft Beyond this
point latent fires still burn and it will be
some time before they can be extinguished
Obstacles which threatened the lives OF
the fire fighters attended the work Of re-
covering the bodies. At one time the mer

cut off from escape by a sudden falling
of masses of earth and rock. They had
placed two bodies on a stretcher and wer,
ready to carry them to the cage in the
| hoisting shaft when with a series of louC
reports a shower of debris came down.
Drop the bodies and run for your lives,
shouted the leader; get out or well all bt
buried alive down here"
To the danger Of heavy rocks falling was
added that OF sparkling and cracking tim

The men were then about $50 feet In from

see a great heap Of bodies of men, boys
and mules Unfortunately mixed, indica

All this. viewed by the firemen In tn,
light of their flickering torches and lamps
presented a scene as weird as a plctur,
from the inferno.
Eeaving behind them the two bodies which
they had struggled hard to reach. the fire
fighters rushed TO the hoisting shaft, wher,
they were revlved-by the cooler air. The!
were quickly brought to the top.
None was found TO be hurt or injured. /

FOUND GUILTY
WHITE MAN CONVICTED
OF MURDER.
He Claimed That He Was Insane
From Drinking Blind Tiger Whis-
KEY With Cocaine in 1t.

At Anderson last week Webb Sim
mons, young white man, was
found guilty of murder, without
recommendation to mercy, for the
killing of United States Deputy j.
B. McAdams on February 20, last.
The jury retired at 5:45 o'clock and
at II returned with the verdict of
guilty. The accused heard the ver-
dict calmly, seeming unmoved by
his terrible situation.
Counsel for the defense at once
made motion for new trial, and
argument on the motion was begun.
It had not been completed when
court adjourned until Monday. One
of the bases Of the defense's mo-
ton is the allegation that one Of
the jurors is over 65 years old.
The arguments by Attorney Dag
nall for the defense and Solicitor
Bonham for the State and Judge
Dantzler's charge were completed at
5:45 o'clock in the afternoon, when
the jury retired with the case. Be-
fore leaving the court room Judge
Dantzler instructed Sheriff King to
notify him at any hour during the
night in case of an agreement.
Webb Simmons is white man Of
about % years of age and was en-
ployed at Orr cotton mills. While
he was in a drunken condition and
while terrifying the mill village
Deputy McAdams, a sworn constable
under Sheriff King, attempted to
quiet and later arrest him. Sim
mons resisted and fired several shots
with shotgun, one load taking eff
feet in McAdams' body, resulting
in death shortly later. Simmons
was brought to the county Jail, where
he has rested until now, no attempt
being made to get him out on bond.
The case was called for trial
early Friday morning and Friday
and Saturday 40-odd witnesses testi-
fed, about half being for the State.
The defense was based on tempo
rary insanity, caused by cocaine in
the whiskey, of which he was under
the influence at the time of the
shooting. DR.. Parker of Charleston
testified that the whiskey contained
large quantity of cocaine. Many
expert witnesses took the stand for
both sides.
The trial of Simmons has created
more interest at Anderson than any
trial in recent years. The court room
has been overcrowded at all times
and Judge Dantzler caused the doors
to be guarded and locked to keep
out an overflow.
Simmons has. held up. extremely
we'll. When the jury retired he
chatted merrily with his young wife,
who sat at his side during the entire
trial.
He claims not to have known any,
thing from the time he took the
whiskey on the morning of the fatal
day until he awoke under arrest
in the Jail at o'clock that night. y
