Signing More Players.

According to President ]. w. Bacon
Paris will have catcher of consider
able note this season for he announces
that he has received the contract of
VIM. Campbell, of Brooklyn, New
York. who will report here on April
IL. Campbell is feet tall and tips
the beam at 172. He is highly recon-
mended by several members of the
Brooklyn club also by Alfred Kaiser,
formerly of the Paris team. Although
only about 81 years of age he has
shown remarkable speed and while not
a member of the Brooklyn club has
played in several exhibition games
with that team.
What President Bacon believes to be
another great find is in the person of
H. S. Blankenshio. of Anglin., KY,
who is said to be one of the most
promising young pitchers that ever
broke into organized base ball.
Blankenship is feet inch in height
and weighs l91 pounds. Not only can
he pitch but he can fill a position in
the outfeld. Last season he establish
ed q remarkable recUrd with the stick
and had Clark Griffith continued in the
management of the Reds he would
have been given a trip with that club.
From the fact that Mr.. Bacon has had
an offer of purchase for the youngster
by a Mountain State League CLUB be
regards him as player of much
promise.
Mr.. Bacon is now after a young
pitcher who can also play first base. He
is 10 years of age, six feet tall and
weighs 230 pounds. A bulletin receiv-
ed yesterja by the Paris management
announced the suspension of Edward
McKernan, former manager here. by
the Paris club McKernan made an
offer for the purchase of his release
but has not yet made good.

The tate of DR.. Ben Hickman. the
colored physician on trial under an
indictment for the murder of Dave
Robinson, colored mail carrier. rests
in the hands of the jury and at IS
O'Clock last night, the jury. which
ballote1 in its room in the Windsor
Hotel from the time court adjourned
yesterday afternoon until the above
time and had not reached verdict.
The trial of Hickman. cahrged with
the murder of Robinson, was entered
into upon the converting of court Fri
day morning. The case was called and
much time was taken in securing a
jury. Shortly before noon Friday the
jury was secured and after a state
ment by Commemorative Attorney K.
b. Franklin, the taking of evidence
was begun and which continued until
court adjourned Saturday evening. A
night session was held Friday nigh.
Yesterday morning the taking of
testimony was resumed and after
few remaining witnesses had been eX.
amined arguments were made by Hon.
E. M. Dickson for the defendant.
while Commonwealth Attorney
Franklin argued for the Common
wealth. Mr.. Dickson concluded his
argument at noon and Mr. Franklin
took up his argument upon the con-
vening of court for the afternoon ses
sion. He spoke until o'clock when
Judge Stout charged the jury, and
they retired to begin their deliber-
atiOns.
The jury after being out one hour
and thirty-fve minutes reported to the
court that they had-not reached YER
dict, whereupon Judge Stout remanded
them to the care of the Sheriff with
the instructions for them to continue
in their deliberations until ten o'clock
and if verdict was reached he would
receive it and discharge the men from
service.
The case of Hickman has attracted
considerable attention. At his examin-
ing trial he was acquitted but the
grand jury at the last term of court
returned an Indictment against him,
charging him with the murder of
Robinson.
A motion was made for new trial
in the case of William Mccoy, colored.
convicted at the last term of court for
the killing of Frazier White at color
ed picnic at the fair ground. Attorney
John Williams argued the case but the
motion was overruled by the court.
The case will be taken to the Court of
Appeals.
