STRANGE CASE OF GORDON
Man Once Accused of Plot to Assas.
slnate Lincoln Now Becomes
United States Senator.

Memphis, Tenn.-A special to the
News-Scimitar says: Sought at one
time by the federal authorities under
a $4,000 reward for his capture, dead
or alive, for alleged conspiracy in the
murder of president of the United
States, and now appointed a member
of the legislative body of that country,
is the strange story of Colonel James
Gordon, who has been nominated
United States senator by Governor
Noel as successor to the late A. j.
McLaurin.
Mr.. Gordon was one of several con-
federate leaders suspected of being
in conspiracy with ]. Wilkes Booth
to kill President Lincoln. He escaped
arrest and probable death only by the
Intervention of Yankee colonel with
whom he had crossed swords in a
fight in Virginia.
In the earlier years of the war, Col
onel Gordon had formed an intimate
friendship with Booth, and after the
assassination of President Lincoln,
the reward of $4,000 was offered for
MS capture.
Colonel Gordon went to Canada,
and it was several months after the
close of hostilities before he found it
safe to return.
In one of the campaigns in Virginia,
Colonel Gordon had crossed swords
with the colonel of a New York cav
airy regiment. Both were injured,
but they afterward became fast
friends.
Colonel Gordon wrote a letter to
this New Yorker, denying that he had
any part in the conspiracy and stat
ing that he desired to return home.
The former foe took the matter up
with General Dicks, then in command
of the army forces in New York and
the latter sent him passport and an
invitation to come to New York and
surrender, which he did, He after
ward satisfied General Dicks that he

Jose Santos Zelaya, who arrived
Wednesday morning from Salin Cruz,
thus replied to a question as to what
attitude he would assume should Sec.
rotary Knox seek to eXtradite him
from this country.
Zelaya refused to discuss such a
probability, but strongly intimated
that the secretary of state would not
have the right to request his presence
in the United States.

erican people at large, nor the gov
eminent" he said Secretary Knox
has been Systematically misinformed,
and has been prejudiced against me,
but the real facts must become
known in time, and it is to time
trust for my vindication.
My relations with the preceding
American government were exceed.
ingly friendly, The situation contains
many unfortunate conditions. Secre-
tary Root has the complete confidence
of Central America, and his policies
were drawing the people closer to-
gether, politically and commercially

tary Knox is undoing all that work
