nounced by jury Tuesday in the
case of Mack Lee, who was tried in
the District Court on the charge of
numbering James Williams in 1901.
Williams was a section foreman on
the Southern Pacific Railroad and was
killed near Eola, La. Lee fed the
country soon after committing the
deed and was a fugitive from justice
until last month, when he was cap
tured at San Antonio, Texas, where
he had been arrested for some trivial
offense.
Lee had assumed the name of Guy
Fenner, which is the name of citizen
of this parish, and which led to his
apprehension. Lees conviction was
due mainly to his own confession,
which he made to one of the deputies
of the sheriffs office. He admitted
his identity and the deed
The district judge has not yet
passed sentence upon Lee, and will in
all probability defer it until the end
of the criminal term.

by falling rock at Pratt Mine No. Il of
the Tennessee, Coal, Iron and Railroad

7 State Mine Inspector James Hillhouse

Mr.. Hillhouse said yesterday afternoon
that he and his associates found every
thing at Mulga in good working order

for the starting of the mine. Mr.. Hill
house said that the mine is now equipped
with electric firing apparatus that will
enable all the blasting to be discharged
from the outside while there is not man

there being pipes into all the headings and
openings at every second room, where
hose can be attached and every part

"Executed by personal service on
John w. Knight."-V. S. Root, united
states deputy marshal.
The above is the Endorsement upon
a subpoena issued for John w. knight
by Referee Murphy, commanding
Knight to appear this morning and re-
late his story of the failure of Knight
Yancey & Co., for approximately $o'-
600, 900.
Accordingly the presence of Mr..
Knight in court this morning when
the meeting of the creditors Is re-
sumed Is expected to be the most i'm
portant development of the case thus
far.
The meeting of creditors was ad-
journed from last Friday until today
for the purpose of hearing the evil
dence of Mr.. Knight All other wit
nesses have been examined. However,
in several instances the right to re-
examine some Of the witnesses has
been retained and others besides Mr..
Knight may take the stand.
The testimony of Mr.. Knight Will. it
Is said clear up many cloudy facts
In connection with the idliuie VI
Knight, Yanoey & Co. The most i'm
portant and at the same time the most
vital fact to be disclosed is who signed
the false bills of lading for $4,000 bales
Of cotton upon which money was bor-
rowed.
The testimony of Messrs. Nesbitt ana
Yancey both of whom are members
of the firm and were heard last week,
was to the effect that Knight intimated
that other persons knew of the ex-
istence of the fake bills. If this is
the case Mr.. Knight may be request
ed to name the persons who knew what
was going on.
While 1t is not regarded as very
probable Mr.. Knight may not appear
at all 1t Is said that Judge Callahan.

cree Murphy has jurisdiction only to
compel his attendance in Decatur Ref
cree Murphy holds otherwise. How
ever should Mr.. Knight fail to appear
the court will very likely, in the words
of Augustus Benners. attorney for the
