EIGHT ARRESTS IN
 BENTON RIOT CASE
Ed Weaver Is in Jail Charged With Ccmplicity in Murder of Earl Wilkes. Negro
 Minstrel.

Benton, Jan. 25.--Constable Doc Sanders today arrested Ed Weaver on a charge of complicity in the murder of the negro Earl Wilkes here on the night of January 13. when the negro was brained with club while plead ing for his life. Weaver is in jail to- night and claims that he had nothing to do with the death of the negro. He says he will be able to prove that he was not present when the negro was clubbed to death.
 Constable Sanders made the arrest on information from Jim Brady, who made the statement to Sanders that he saw Weaver and two others when they were clubbing Wilkes. Brady is a stranger here and says that he could not recognize the other two, but that he knew Weaver on account of the fact that he and Weaver were stop ping at the same boarding house.
 Files | Complaint.
 AS soon as the information was gained from Brady, Assistant Prose cuning Attorney Abercrombie issued complaint and Weaver was placed under arrest. He has not been able to make bond. It is also claimed now that Weaver was seen in the theater where anegro troupe to which Wilkes belonged was giving performance on the night Wilkes was killed.
 Constable Sanders is now working in an effort to discover the names of the other two men Brady claims he saw with Weaver. Sanders learned that Brady saw Wilkes when he was killed by overhearing a conversation between two men last night, in which one of the men was heard to say that he knew man who saw who killed the negro. Sanders called upon the two men and, it is said, they told him that Brady had told them Weaver was one of the men he saw beating Wilkes with club.
 Weaver is about 23 years of age and has lived here about year. He is said to have come here from Maaa- zine. Little is known of him here and ii is not known whether Magazine is his home. No date has been fixed for the preliminary trial of Weaver and it will probably not be set until Prosecuting Attorney J. B. Wood of Hot Springs is heard from

STATE OF TERROR
 AMONG PRISONERS
Testimony of Woman Prisoner. ir Which Ben hurrsy's Name Vas Mentioned, Is Fea-
 ture of Hearing.

Hot Springs. Jan B. The feature of the hearing of the habeas corpus case of Ben Murray and John Ruther- ford. held without bail on charge of being responsible for the death of Os car Chitwood, was the testimony of Cora Laden. one of the women pris- oners in the jail the morning that Chit wood was shot to death. which had been taken before the secret session of the corrorer. and which was read today to the court.
 The Laden woman testified that about 10 minutes after Chitwood was killed Ben Murray entered the jail, ac- companied by another man. and that she heard Murray say: T know none of these women saw it. for we locked them up in the cell
 The evidence of other women was read. in which they said that they were all locked up in their cells the night Chitwood was killed. a thing that had not been done before, and that when they protested, they were CUTS cd and abused by Rutherford. They also testified that the windows of the jail were closed down so that no one could see out.
 All of the evidence taken in the secret session of the coroner's inves- tieation tends to show that state of terror existed among the prisoners immediately following the murder of Chitwood. and that Jack Purnell, un- der indictment on a first-deeree mur- der charge, positively refused to tcsti- fy at the inve stigation.
 Rutherford Was Nervous.
 Harry Adams. one of the prisoners who testified in the coroner's investi- eation, swore that Rutherford was very nervous when hs took Chitwood out of jail. just preceding the murder and that he locked both wrists of Chit wood in the handcuffs. when on pre- vious occasions he had only locked one hand. Adams also swore that he saw Rutherford shove Chitwood out of the jail door and remark. There is the man that will take you to the city jail. I"
 Ben Sanders. deputy sheriff. who was sworn and testified in the secret session during the coroner's investi- eation. says that Henry and Houpt were at the jail for while the night that Chitwood was murdered, and that they were present when the doors and windows of the jail were closed and the.women locked in their cells.
 Saunders also testified that he heard Rcb Houpt say he wanted the jai, to be well guarded, as he would hate to have anything happen in the ab- sencc of his brother. Sid Houpt.
 All of the day was taken up in read ing the testimony of the prisoners be- fore the coroner in secret session. but this is about finished. and it is believ- ed that the defendants will be placed on the stand tomorrow in their own behalf

to win diamond ring in the subscrip-
ton contest recently given by the State
Journal.
A deal was made the past week

been owned by Matt Larson in South
Oakland.
The many friends of Prof. Franklin
Gould will be deeply grieved to learn
of his death, which occurred at his

he engaged in the banking business and
was successful in this business venture.
The funeral was held Wednesday and a
number from here were in attendance.
Franklin Gould was born fifty years
ago and died Monday morning, Oct. %
at his home in the village. Much Of
his early life was spent on farm near
Stoughton. He was a graduate Of the
Whitewater Normal school and was
principal of the Cambridge schools for
10 years and also held the same posi-
tion in Oregon in this county for about
ten years from which place he re-
turned to Cambridge in 1906 to become
cashier of the Bank of Cambridge.
He leaves widow, who is the daugh-
ter of Mrs. S. HI. Butler, a sister, Mrs.
E. H. Johnson of Stoughton and a
brother William, who is residing in
Mississippi.
