his own gate and the shot attracted his wife. She found her husband dead, lying beside his wagon. She saw her son making away from the scene, she said Her brother was in the neighborhood shortly before, she testified
 The trial of the case was begun this morning in the Perry circuit court, Judge Guy Fulk presiding, and at the conclusion of the night session the state had practically completed it's testimony. More than 20 witnesses were introduced by the state to show how the plot for the murder of Jones was laid and carried out. Much of the evidence was circumstantial in character, the evidence of Mrs. Rach- ael Jones, who saw her husband lying in the road after he was shot, being practically the only direct testimony.
 The defense will have an inning today. Just what course will be talk en has not been indicated, but an at tempt may be made to prove an albi. The defense will probably conclude today, and the fate of the alleged murderers may be in the hands of the jury by tonight or at least by to- morrow.
 The story of the crime and of the alleged connection of the defendants with it, came out in the trial practic- ally as it was outlined at the time of the arrest of the pair. Jones had a sum of money on him and was return ing from a trip to town, when he was shot from ambush. He fell mortally wounded from his wagon seat after his horses had ran away and wrecked the wagon. A boy ran toward him. He spoke and a second shot killed him. Then the boy robbed him of the money and disappeared,
 It is alleged that Adkins fired the first shot from cover of barn near the road At the time he is alleged to have had Willie Jones, aged 15 years, and Claude Jones, aged 13 years, sons of the murdered man, with him. It was Willie who went out to the body, it is alleged, and it is Willie, the state ayers, who fired the last shot.
 The younger lad was caught ear lier, but Adkins and Willie were cap tured only after long chase, in which bloodhounds were twice thrown off the trail.

Pres ident Doyne recounted the magnifi- cent work in which the four educa- tional institutions of Conway are en- gagged and bade the visitors a hearty welcome on behalf of Hendrix college, Central college and the State Normal school. Miss McDowell's address was a classic. She spoke of woman's work in the great educ cational and home making movements of the day and re- ferred to the important part which the federated clubs of Arkansas had taken in this work.
 The Federation's guest of honor, Mrs. Phillip NJ. Moore of St. Louis, president of the National Federation of Women's Clubs, was then introduc- ed by President Ellsworth. Mrs. Moore referred to the statement of President Anderson in regard to suf- frage for women, and said that this privilege was not what the American club woman was striving for at this time. The influence of woman, she said, was possibly more potent in ac- complaining results than the ballot. As an instance, she cited the pure food bill, which congress had laid on the table just previous to the session of the national federation in 1906. When the matter was brought before the federation a deluge of telegrams was poured by the delegates on the senators and representatives, with the result that the bill was taken up and passed. Mrs. Moore congratulated the Arkansas Federation upon it's
