States Evidence.

S.mith'and, KY, Jan. 1G. -
James Wells, charged with TIE
brutal murder of Frank Long
necker, a Cincinnati fur. buyer,
on Christmas Eve night. on an
island just above here, was held
to the Livingston county grand
jury without bond tonight at 10
O'Clock, following preliminary
trial which began at 8 o'clock
this morning. Pearl Wells, alias
Pearl Hughes, who was arrested
with Wells, was held under a
$500 bond charged with being
an accessory after the fact.
Frank Meisberger aud Bessie
Ructman, alias Meisber9er, will
be placed on trial tomorrow morn
ing. They are charged jointly
with being implicated in the
murder also.
What tomorrow's development
may bring forth is probfemat
zeal. Today Meisberger and the
Ructman woman held to their
original confession, and though
many attempts were made to
make them contradict previous
statements by counsel for the
defense under cross eXamina
t..3n, ali pere futile. That Wells
will be convicted is the general
opinion of those who heard the
evidence. The stories told by
Meisberger and Bessie Ructman
were cCrroborated by witnesses
for the prosecution, whose evil
dence was circumstantial. There
were about fifteen witnesses to
testify for the prose cution. R
A. Ledbetter, w. O. Spier, Chas.
Rose and John Haphron. of Eliz-
abethtown, were introduced to
tell of their having seen Long
necker, Wells, and Meisberger
together in Elizabethtown, ILL.,,
the day previous to the murder.
A. o. Williams, Sam Clark, M.
Brown and Jess Banbaber, of
Golconda, ILL.,, were also witness
es for the prosecution.
Coroner w. H. Johnson testi
fed as to the marks of violence
on Longnecker's body, while
Cecil Thompson and Will Bost,
who discovered the body on the
island, also testified as to those
circumstances. ]. A. Curd, fore
man of the coroner's jury, and
Matt Trail and Ed Kersey, Of
Livingston county, were addit-
ional witnesses.
Ed Cunningham and another
shanty- boater, who are winter
ing at Paducah. testified as to
Wells being with Longnecker,
and also of the Meisbergers' and
Welles' arrival in Paducah
Christmas Day.
Edward Rose, another man
who spends his time on the river
swore that the dog found in the
possession of Wells was the dog
which belonged to Longnecker.
Sheriff R. Foster and Perry Me-
loan, a newspaper man, were in
troduced and told what they
found on the shantyboats Wells
and Meisberger were living on
in Paducah.
RUCTMAN WOMAN TELLS STORY
In her statements to the court,
Bessie Ructman, alias Bessie
Meisberger, the woman whose
confession first startled all

ky, told what she said was every
thing she knew of the murder
of Longnecker.

Many of the Mining shafts here
and across the river in southern
Illinois are greatly bothered with
surface water, and fad it a diff
cult task to continue raising ore.
The shipments are now very
light.
Calvin Clark, formerly Of Ma
rion, is the assistant supervisor
dent of the RoscIare fiuor spar
mines and to him very largely is
the credit due for the great ton
age of 10000 tons shipped in
1912. Of course such an amount
of fiuor spar means the mining
and cleaning of over 5000 tons
monthly and assuming the month
has &c days, it means over 23O
tons every working day in the
year, and that's sure some huor
spar.
The Grandby Mining & Smelt-
ing Co., who own and lease to
mines large bodies of zinc and
lead bearing lands in Joplin will
commence to buy zinc ores on
April End, for their new smelter
now being erected at st. Louis,
Mo. They are quite optimistic
over the yield of zinc ores in
western Kentucky.
We have it upon the best of
authority that the small but earn
est committee, who waited upon
the tariff thinkers in Washington
made a profound impression up
on the gentlemen having the
fiuor spar schedule in hand. One
of the committee having that ro-
mantle titan colored hair some
times termed FURNISHED copper.
and at others just plain brick
red, made his argument so
strong that the committee was
very much inclined to increase
the duty to six dollars instead
of the present three dollars, per
ton.
Mr.. Jackson, an experienced
mining engineer, having had
long experience in various parts
of South America, visited the
Carrsville mines last week and
was most complimentary over
the prospects as well as delight
ed with the concrete lining of
the shaft which seemed to be
new to him. He seemed very
confident that the zinc ore would
carry a large percentage of sill
yer and that the work in the
break where the shaft is being
made indicated radium.

POOL STRONGLY ENDORSED.
At the meetings held Wednes-
day afternoon in the magisterial
districts Of every county, the
tive-year pool was strongly en-
dorsed in the resolutions and for
this reason many meetings last
night were not as largely attend
ed, probably. as they would have
been had not the sentiment been
previously expressed. The meet.
ings, last night, however, were
held for the more direct purpose
of securing the signatures to the
five-year pool contract, thereby
starting off the canvass for mem
bers with hundreds of names al
ready enrolled.
HIGH WATER DRAWBACK
Il believe l am safe in pre-
dieting that 80 per cent of the
growers present at the meetings
last night, signed up for five
years, said James N. Banks
last night. Mr.. Banks expects
to receive reports from nearly all
of the meetings today. He was
afraid that the high water to-
gether wi IN the magisterial
meetings Wednesday at which
the five-year pool was endorsed,
might cut down the attendance
Friday night.
The association already has
