Refused to Make Bond to Sheriff.


HAMBURG, Miss, June 21.-Farr
came here on the evening Of
the r4th, riding the public road, and
Bovd came here on the 18th, being
informed that the constable Of this
district, Mr.. ]. T. McLemore, was
authorized to take his bond for his
appearance in court. Both Farr and
Bovd refused to have anything to do
with Sheriff R. L. Jones, OF this
county.
1t is now recalled that On the 26th
of April last, the day that Cornelius
Prichard was shot by one of the
Newmans, when he stepped out oil
the drug store on the sidewalk that
w. T. Boyd was a witness of the
part PLAYED by Ernest Newman.
Later, on that date, on Boyd's re-
fusal to recite to A. NJ. Newman what
both Boyd and Archibald Monroe
Newman saw at the same time, Boyd
was told by Newman to go to -
Boyd replying, when 1 go I will
take YOU with me-" After Boyd had
testified as a witness for the State
it was charged that he had COM
mitted perjury, and when he applied
for his witness certificate as a wit
ness Judge Jeff Truly, one of the
lawyers for the defense asked that
he be retained by the court. Boyd's
reply was that that would no be
necessary. as he would be there.
Since then it had been reported that
DR.. Newman had said that Boyd or
another man, giving his name, had
written that letter to Nance Aid
ridge.
Boyd says he will be there when
these cases come up for trial, bond or
no bond. There seems to be a sig
nifiance in what Boyd says.
His attorneys insist that he be al
lowed to give the same bond and on
the same terms as the other parties
in the affair, and as the only object
in the bond is to have him in court
that certainly will be satisfactory Il
the authorities. The Prichards wan
him here as a witness. The Newmans
want him here to explain his haste
in the affair of the 14th, and his in
sistence on giving bond and per
sistence and determination to have
the court record Strengthened out sc
far as he is concerned, is believed
to be sufficient assurance of his pres
ence in court when these cases come
up.

lent Evidence in Own
Behalf = Rebuttal Be-
gins.

NEW YORK, June 21.--An-
nouncing that Howard Gould
would not go on the witness stand
in his own defense in his wife's
suit for separate maintenance, At
torney Nicoll today notified At
|torney Shearn, representing Mrs.
Gould, that he would rest his case.
Nicoll explained to the court that
he deemed the testimony already
recorded SO complete that it was
unnecessary to take up further
time by putting his client upon
the witness stand. This action was
a complete surprise to the prose
|cution.
Shearn began his rebuttal of the
|defense's testimony regarding Mrs.
Gould's alleged intemperance by
reading an affidavit by Mrs. Alice
|Stickney Bankhead, who swore
that she had never seen the plant
iff under the influence of liquor,
and that her conduct had always
been ladylike.
Mrs. Bankhead, who is the wife
of Lieut.. Bankhead of the Unit
led States army, now stationed at
Fort Mcpherson, at Atlanta, Ca,
was formerly a ward of Mrs. John
"a. Long, wife of the United States
consul general at Cairo, Egypt.
She was living at Cairo in 1902

HARTMAN
RUMOREO
DEAD
Report of Demise of the
Railway Magnate Pre-
cipitates Furore of
Excitement in
Wall st.

by United Press Leased Wire
NEW YORK, June AL
Unconfirmed rumors that
e. H. Hartman died today
in Austria created great ex-
element in Wall street.
The origin of the rumor
has not been traced. Harri-
man is supposed to be at
Vienna, but no word has been
received from there as yet.
A sharp break in the mar
ket followed circulation of the
report.
Directors of the Union Pa.
cific and personal friends of
the railway magnate have
not received any information
indicating that there is any
truth in the report.
The fact that none of the
friends of the railroad mag
nate have heard anything to
make them fear for his state
Of health leads to a general
disbelief of the rumors.
There is growing belief
that the report was circulated
for the effect it would have
on the market.
Joseph Helton, secretary of
the Union Pacific railroad,
this afternoon stated that the
report of Harriman's death
was untrue. !
