AS member Of the Union, and as a
life long friend of the hOnOred head Of
the organization in this state, we feel
that We can assure these Greeks who
come bearing gifts that our worthy

loves the Union too much to be de-

he is too much enamOred of the Union

our attention few days ago To the
large number Of residence owners in
Irenada. He had made a notation on

which showed that fraction OF little
over eighty nine per cent of the resi-
dences were owned by their occupants.
This is matter worthy Of congratu-
lation and is one of the many reasons
why our citizenship takes such
pride in their homes. 1t is a splendid

TIME FOE.
Pathetic Scenes During the Parade,
When with Rebel Yell, the, the Boys
of '61 stormed Reviewing Stand.

MEMPHIS, June 1.-THE City saw
the last straglers of the reunionIsta
leave today and there has again
settled over everything a compara-
tive quiet after the excitement of the
last few days incident to the great
gathering Of old soldiers and their
friends. The reunion of 1905 was a
great success and Memphis was able
to take care OF the great throngs in
a very creditable manner. The only
drawback to the reunion was the in
tense heat, which caused some in
convenience.
A frenzied demonstration of wei
come by the men in gray for the sou
of the man who conquered them
marked the final scene of the final
day of the nineteenth reunion of the
United Confederate Veterans, 1t took
place during the parade. In the re-
viewing stand stood General Fred
erick Dent Grant, of the United States
army. The first divisions in line
passed with onlyNa limited number
recognizing the son of the man who
accepted the surrender of Lee. But
finally a cavalry division approached
and its commanding officer, old and
grizzled peered steadily at General
NGrant moment Then he turned in
his saddle and yelled:
Come on, you kids, here's Genera.
Grant come to life. again in his SON"
With one of the oldtime rebel yells
the division charged upon the stand
and jostled one another for an oppor
| tunity to shake the hand iof the son
of their old-time enemy. From that
moment every gray-clad veteran who
could reach the stand rushed up to
shake hands with General Grant. The
stocky army officers cold gray eyes
filled with tears and his shoulders
shook with emotion as he murmured
God bless You all, boys, God bless
you giving each a cordial hanC
grasp.
Battle-torn banners were groupd'
at his feet and waved over his heat

The general belief now and quite
strongly asserted, is that the trial
of the defendants in the case of the
murder Of Emma Holston, will bring
out not only the nsy evidence found
too late to be introduced in the last
trial, but also much that is considered
altogether new which will clear up
much of the mystery which has sur
rounded the Howell assassination. and
which has not yet been solved.
The evidence which the Emma Hol-
ston murder case trial, it is believed,
will bring out, will connect the names
of others with the murder of Howell.
These names, it is claimed will not
only include some who have been
under direct suspicion, but also the
names of some who up-to-date have
been able to keep out of the shadow
of direct suspicion.
AS matter of fact much of the
intense local interest in the Emma
Holston murder case has come from
a common belief that the trial of this
case before the courts will bring out
facts connected with the Howell MUIR
der, that heretofore has escaped the
reach of the arm Of the law.
Hence, every move in the Emma
Holston murder case is actively
watched with the abounding hope that
now improved malefactors will at last
be brought to the bar of justice and
made to pay the penalty of the law.

GORDON ARRESTED AS
ACCESSORY TO CRIME
How the Attempted Use of SO in Cash
Resulted in a Grand Jury Indict-
ment Found Against Garner and
Gordon.

Nine dollars in cash is the little
thing that had something to do with
the negro Charles Gordon finding him
self in prison with Sy Garner and
John Akens.
This small cash contribution was
given to Emma Holston to pay her
to keep her from testifying against
Sy Garner, whose case charging brib-
cry in the Franklin case, was pending
in court.
Emma Holston showed the money
to Coroner Farley, The coroner di-
rected Emma to District Attorney
McLaurin; the district attorney
turned the 50 over to the grand jury
and the grand jury sent in an indict-
ment to the court bearing the names
of Garner and Gordon.
Gordon also appears as CO.
worker with Garner in having Emma
Holston arrested for vagrancy. a
number of white citizens vouched FOR
her character and Emma was ac-
quilted.
The next bill of particulars, is the
charge that Gordon with Garner sent
a negro man down the Gulf and Ship
Island railroad twice to locate Emma
Holston.
Emma was located. John Akens
went to Make and Emma Holston
was murdered.
With John Akens as the principal,
Garner and Gordon find themselves
in Jail as accessories to the crime.
The arrest Wednesday night of
Charley Gordon, just prior to the az
rest of Sy Garner by officers on sUs-
picion after receiving information OF
the murder of Emma HOlston at
Make, Miss, which crime is charged
against John Akens, naturally created
more or less comment since Gordon's
name had not been previously con-
nected with the Emma Holston cases
1t now appears that the grand jury
of the term of the circuit court just
adjourned found an indictment against
Charlie Gordon charging a felonious
offense and which directly connects
Gordon with Garner.
In fact, the grand jury for the May,
1909, term of the circuit court, was
brought against both Garner and Cor
don. This indictment reads that Gar
ner and Gordon did attempt to en-
tice, solicit and persuade and hire
Emma Holston to absent herself from
the court and not to appear before tho
court to give evidence of what she
knew concerning the accusation
The cause mentioned in the indict

Since the murder of Emma Holstol
much interest has developed an
found expression in the case of tn
murder of Ed Howell. for which erin
Joe Williams was tried and convicte
and sent to the penitentiary for
