Tallahassee, Fla, March 1S.-It was
understood here this morning that the
board of trade of Jacksonville is get
ting up figures on the probable cost of
a three-day session Of the legislature
with a view to probably requesting
Governor GilchTist to issue a procla-
nation convening the legislature in
special session.
Section of article w of the state
constitution gives the governor power
to convene the Legislature n extra
session and If he so desires to name in
the proclamation the matter or mat
ters for the legislature to consider,
their deliberations being confined to
said subject, unless wo-thirds of each
house shall decide to take up other
matters.
While the constitution limits an ex-
ira session to 20 days. yet the Jack
sonville board of trade is evidently
figuring on the matters they have
being disposed Of within three days
time or less. 1t is mere conjecture as
to why they are asking for the cost,
but it is probable they intend guaran-
teeing to the state the cost incident TO
the extra session.
For a three-day session, allowing a
secretary for each branch and a SER
geant at arms for each, the cost would
be little more than six thousand
dollars.

Omaha, Neb., March 1S.-Two of the
convicts, John Dowd and John Taylor,
who escaped Thursday from the peni-
tentiary at Lincoln, and James Blunt,
an innocent victim of their rnurderous
attempt to gain liberty, are dead as a
result of battle this afternoon be-
tween the bandits and officers. Chas.
Morley. the third member of the trio
which escaped prison after killing
three officials of the Institution, sur
rendered.
Several posses were after the crimi-
nails. 1t was learned the men were en-
route north, with Albright, an Omaha
suburb, as their destination. There
they expected to get protection from
friends Chief of Police Briggs, OF
South Omaha, learned the convicts
had forced Blunt and his wife to give
them breakfast and furnish a team
with which they hoped to escape to
Albright, compelling Blunt to act as
driver.
The chase began immediately. Eight
miles from here the officers caught up
with the vehicle carrying the convicts.
Blunt was compelled to lash the horses
into run but the officers pursued
until within a few hundred yards of
the fleeing desperadoes. When within
hundred yards of the pursued men
Chief Briggs and Deputy Jno. c.
Trouton opened fire with their rifles.
From then until Morley surrendered 1t
Msa5 q dasi1sng Agtss over three inIles of
rough country roads. Finally there
came halt when Blunt was killed by
a bullet. Briggs jumped from his
buggy. and fired at the men in the
wagon after taking deliberate aim.
Meanwhile other members of the
posse came up and joined in the fusil-
lade. John Dowd was the next to fall.
Taylor was next killed and then Nor
ley threw up his hands and surren-
dered.

Annie Crawford Breaks Down Whom
State Presents Organs of Dead Girl,
Showing She Was Poisoned.
BY Associated Prsss.

New Orleans. March 1S.-The de-
Tense in the case of Annie Crawford
was confused this afternoon when the
state produced in court the brain,
heart, lungs and other organs of Elise
Crawford, with expert testimony that
their condition showed the girl did not
die OF cerebral hemorrhage, as the de-
fense contends, but of morphine
poisoning. The organs were obtained
when the body was exhumed Sunday
by state experts and an autopsy per-
formed in the grave yard by DR.. 0has.
Duval When this testimony was pre-
sented the defendant, for the first time,
broke down and wept. She is charged
with poisoning her sister, Elise. Court
adjourned until Wednesday to enable
the defense to examine the organs.
