Attorneys For Prisoner Will Now At

Charles Morschauser. to offset the

DR.. Carlos F. Mcdonald, the last
alienist called by the state. was fol-
lowed by John D. Gleason, Thaw.s
original legal adviser. His most ao-
vantaReous statement, from the prison.

of the law firm of Black. Gruoer, oi-
colt and Bonynge, and of l. l. Della
field and the engagement otBDelphln

This had been done at his (Gleason's)
orders, he said, and was not due to

Through Mr.. Gleason. Thaw's lawyer
hopes to show that Thaw's attitude
toward Stanford White was not due
to decisions as the state contends, but
was prompted by what Thaw knew OF
Whites practices. Mr. Morschauser

Trying TO clear Thaw of another .de-

night of December "a. 1903. The word
ing of this document was not made
public, but 1t was introduced to coun-
teract the states contentious that
Thaw had decisions concerning the

liAved had been engaged by his
enemies to beat and perhaps kill him
and that after Whites death the archi-

If he can show that Stanford White

young girls were ruined and that an
attempt really was made on his clients
ufe, Mr. Morschauser will be able to
dissipate some of the "delusions" evil

Evidently the plan is to have the
attorneys sum up on Saturday and to
finish the case this week.

interruption from Pietre Caprorale. a

hanging about the places for several

Ethel. Miss, July Much indigna-
tion exists here today as result OF
the dispatch from Cincinnati relating
the story OF Rev. Frank B. English,
who claims that he was threatened
with mob violence and driven out OF
Ethel without anything to eat.
The leading citizens Of Ethel admit
that Mr.. English was told to leave
town but say that this was not done
until he was seen placing his arm
around negroes and committing other
acts which they believed were calcu-
lated TO excite the blacks and stir up
race strife They say thai mop wal
formed and that If the minister had
not left when told all they would have
done would have been to place him on
the first train which arrived and sent
him away.
They say no violence was threatened
but that Mr.. English became very much
frightened when approached by sever
al of them and told that 1t would be
best for him, TO leave.
Another dispatch from Holly Springs
states that Mr.. English told the faoul-
~ at Rust University that he would

ment several weeks ago saying that
his political enemies had trumped up
a number of charges against him, and

and as a result of several allegations
which he made against various Pla-
quemine officials he was arraigned in
court and a small fine was imposed.

unjust one and refused to pay 1t. About
the same time he left Plaquemine and
took up his abode in New Orleans.

about 8 O'Clock. Suspecting the
fire to be incendiary, Sheriff Payne
was telephoned for at once and
asked to bring dogs. He secured
the services of Mr.. ]. D. Erwin
and his two dogs and went at the
earliest possible moment to the
scene, reaching the scene of the
fire in the early morning. The
dogs trailed to the residence where
Mr.. George Glover lived and he
was arrested on suspicion, but re-
leased en- bond to be tried before

The Ghost of Chief Iuka.

A lady who is stopping at the
Brinkley place remarked that she
had heard the place was haunted
but she was not afraid of ghosts.
This probably grows out of a ira
dition that the ghost os Chief Iuka
has been seen wandering around
the place where he lived and died.
But the story is unreasonable.
Chief Iuka lived in an humble wig
wan or pole cabin and his ghost
would not feel at home wandering
around the broad corridors of the
Brinkley mansion. More like ly it
would haunt the springs lot, the
medicinal waters therein causing
Iuka to live far beyond the allot-
ted time of man; or else it would
hang around where his bones were
laid to rest, which many claim was
on opof the hill, now the busi-
ness center of the town. Under
no circumstances is it likely that
his shade would haunt the place
where his humble home stood, es-
pecially as not vestige of said
