DISCREPANCY IN
THE TESTIMONY
Alleged That Col. Taylor's Evidence
Before Grand Jury and at Trial
Did Not Accord.
By Associated Press

UNION CITY, Tenn, October IL
Discussion has arisen here over the
testimony of Col. r. z. Taylor, who
was with Capt Quinton Rankin at
Walnut Log last October when the la;
ter was assassinated by night riders.
1t is declared that his testimony be-
fore the grand jury differed in mate
rial points from his testimony at The
trial, and it is reported that the No
vember grand jury will be asked TO
compare the two sets of testimony.
Colonel Taylor, it is said, testified
before the grand jury that when the
night riders were placing the rope
around Captain Rankin's neck and
getting ready to murder him, that
some one of the members of the
crowd present interceded for Colonel
Taylor and begged them not to take
his life, because he was an old man:
that when he was on the witness stand
in the trial of the night riders he de.
MED that anyone had intercedeG FOR
him, and that in several other mate
rial points his story differed from his
sworn statement before the grand
jury.

ton law can be strengthened. One
arrangement he is very anxious to per-
feet is for a joint session of jurisdic-
ton between the states of Mississippi,
Arkansas and Louisiana whereby the
whiskey boat traffic on the Mississippi
river can be broken up. He also de-
sires to have placed at his disposal
an appropriation sufficient for the
employment of corps of detectives
to be sent into communities and ferret
out blind tigers where local authori-
ties seem to be powerless.
Several other amendments will be
suggested in his message, and the
liquor traffic committees of both
houses will doubtless be kept busy
throughout the session.
