GIVES DETAILS OF
 THE ELUTES MURDER
Witness Says Couple Struck
 in Head With Hatchet
EVIDENCE DAMAGING
Franchise Granted for Line to Look out MOuntain-Motion Pictures Taken of Shriners-Roosevelt
 Republicans Dissatisfied

Gadsden. March s.-6speciaL) )-The preliminary hearing of the men ac- cused of the Lutes murder, which is being held at Ashville, was continued today and a most sensational story was brought out by the chief witness for the state, John MoLemore. who was arrested as one of the murderers and later released,
 According to the story of MeLemore, the murder of the aged couple was planned some weeks in advance of it's commission and was executed in the most atrocious manner. The story of this witness relates that he was in vited by the three defendants now held for the crime, D. $. McClain, Steve and Will Campbell, to join in the con- spiracy to kill the old people for the purpose of securing sum of money that was known to be in the house at the time. McLemore says that he did not join the men in their undertake ing but that one of the Campbell boys after the crime was committed told him all the details.
 According to the details the three men went to the home of the old couple late in the evening and took supper with them and after partaking of their hospitality deliberately killed them by the use of hatchet with which they were hit in the head as one would kill cattle. He was told by Campbell that while the man and his wife were still writhing in the death agony on the floor of their humble home a search was made of the premises and altogether s136o was secured.
 The full story reveals crime the most brutal and shocking that could possibly be imag agined. There is con- siderable corroborating testimony being offered and it appears that the right men have been secured and that they will certainly be held to the higher court to answer charge of mur- der in the first degree. The hearing will undoubtedly be concluded tomor- TOW.

petuation OF lie and OF an unmerited
reproach": and protest is made in the
name of truth and Justice
The resolutions. which We're unanimously
adopted. cited that 1t has been proved to
the satisfaction Of every impartial mind
that Mrs. Frietchie never performed the
act for which It is proposed that she be
honered. and that the poem Of Whittier
reflects upon the patriotism and chivalry
Of Confederate general noted through
out the world as one of the most patriotic
and chivalrous Of a nation whose devo-
ton to country and respect for women
has never been equaled In all history.
1t was therefore resolved: THAT Fitz-
hugh Lee Chapter would deplore the erec-
ton of such a monument" Miss Louise
Johnson, president of the chapter. read
the report and will present 1t at the next
meeting of the state body.

English Military Duel.
From the London Chronicle.

From the London Chronicle.
1t would be difficult to find anybody who
remembers the last fatal duel in Eng
land. The uate was May %. 1s45, and
the place a spot on the shore near Cos
port. Lieut. Hawkey of the Royai
Marines. considering that Lieut.. Seton
had paid too much attention to his wife
at a Southsea function. called him a VIII
lain and a blackguard. threatened TO
horsewhip him along Portsmouth High
street. and attempted to kick him. AZ
though dueling had been definitely forbid
den by the articles OF war in 1874. after
the horror caused by the death Of Col
Fawcett at the hands of his brother-in-
law, Lieut. Munro. in 1913, the provoca-
ton in the Hawkey-Seton case WAS such
that a meeting resulted. Seton fired and
missed, while Hawkey's pistol. being at
half-cock, would not go on. But at the
second discharge Seton fell and HawkAy
fled to France.

George S. Patterson's View Of
Provision in the Panama
Canal Bill.

George s. Patterson, general counsel
for the Pennsylvania railroad. today told
the Senate committee on interoceanio
canals that II the Senate approves the
railroad-owned steamship provision OF
the Panama canal bill it would mean
either the retirement of many freight
carrying vessels and ferry lines of the
country. or else their ownership by the
big industrial corporations Of the United
States.
Shipping Investments, $4,000, 900.
The shipping investments of the Penn
sylvania railroad, he declared. amounted
to about $lO,OOO.OOO. which would have
to be operated at a loss or sold at a
sacrifice. He said that this would per-
nit the big interests OF the country to
dominate the shipping facilities. making
the small shipper dependent on the large
sh PIPER for the carriage OF his goods.
Mr.. Patterson said that not only his
road but also the Erie, New York Cen
trail. Lehigh Valley and others would
suffer If this clause is allowed to remain
In the bill.
