Saws Brought by Girl.
Meridian.-A wholesale Jail delivery
OF five murderers sentenced for life
and burglars and highway robbers
was narrowly averted when Hillary
McCullom, a seventeen-year-old boy,
told mis- father that the cell bars had
been sawed and that the windows lead
ing to the street had been prepared
for the gang to get away. McCullom
Immediately notified the jailer and the
plan was frustrated. The plan to es-
cape was engineered by Frank A.
Hand, sentenced Saturday morning to
fifteen years for highway robbery. ].
e. Jax. the wooden-nosed man, did
the saving. The saws were procured
through Ola McCullom, the fifteen
year-old sister Of Hillary, who con-
fessed that she bought the saws and
did not know it was any harm. The
girl was not arrested. A thorough
search of the cells failed to reveal the
hiding place Of the saws.

OKLAHOMA STATESMAN WINS A
SENSATIONAL DAMAGE SUIT
BROUGHT BY WOMAN.
RETURN VERDICT QUICKLY
Only Ten Minutes Necessary for the
vindication Of Blind Senator.
Mrs. Bond Asked $4,000 for
Alleged Assault.

Oklahoma City, Okla.-Upon the tes
ttmony of Mrs. Minnie E. Bond and
her own witnesses Senator T. P. Gore
was indicated of any wrong conduct
toward Mrs. Bond by a jury in the dis
trict court here.
The jury was in the jury room two
minutes and one-half, and one ballot
was taken. 1t was unanimous for SEN
ator Gore, and denied Mrs. Bond mi
cent Of the $4,000 she asked from
the blind senator, whom she had charg-
ed with attempting to assault her in a
Washington hotel on March "a, 1913.
The jury retired for its deliberations
at 5:35 O'Clock, and in ten minutes
had filed back into the courtroom and
taken their seats. The packed court
room vas silent as Judge Clark read
the verdict.
At his final words, Gin favor Of the
defendant" those near the front Of the
room heard Mrs. Gore utter a stifled
cry IS she leaped from her chair,
grasped the hand Of the senator and
whispered something into his ear.
When she turned and shook hands
with Henry Carpenter, the foreman Of
the jury, tears we're streaming down
the eyes Of both her and the aged
farmer. Senator Gore said:
"The verdict confirms my faith that
truth will triumph. l never for a mo-
ment doubted the outcome at the
hands Of a jury"
In her declaration Mrs. Bond al
legged that the senator attacked her
while she was In conference with him
at a hotel in Washington in connection
with the possible appointment Of her
husband, Julian Bond, as internal rev
enue collector at Oklahoma City. Gore
seized her, she alleged, and threw her
violently across a bed and freed-her
only after several men appeared in the
doorway of the room. In the scuffle,
she asserted, her face was scratched
and hand lacerated by fragments of
her broken eyeglasses.
In his answer Senator Gore made a
denial of the charges and made,
the counter charge that the suit was
instituted by a coterie of his political
opponents who had failed in their eft
forts to secure federal patronage.

SOUTHERN WILL
GUT OFF TRAINS
ROAD ANNOUNCES THAT THE
pECH EASE IN TRAFFIC Is
CAUSE OF ACTION.

WsshinEton, Oct. flowing to
material and progressive decreases
in the volume of its traffic and ire
consequent. necessity OF retrench-
ment OF operating expenses, the
Southern Railway company has found
its passenger train seryce," said Pres
ident FalrfaX Harrison today, and,
after conference with the railroad
commissions of the various states af-
lie certain trains which it is thought
can be removed without affecting the
ectural requirements of local travel
under eXistiEgs conditions. This is a
of which the management of the
Southern Railway company asks the
understanding and patient cooperation
Of the people of the south.
The changes have ALI been careful
~ considered so as to cause min
imum OF inconvenience. Arrange
ments have been made whereby other
trains will make all stops now being
made by the trains to be discontin-
ued. That the Southern Railway com
pany is able to take off a number of
trains and still have a passenger ser
vice ample to accommodate the tray
el along its lines is due to the policy
it has followed of giving liberal pass
enger service, a policy which has ac-
Ccmplished much for the upbuilding
OF the south, hut has from time to
time so increased the passenger facil
tiles afforded that for the last fiscal
year the passenger train mileage ag-
gregated over So per cent of it's tota
train mileage and so actually exceed
ed the mileage of freight trains, al
though the revenue from passenger
traffic was little more than one-fourth
of the total revenues from transpor-
tation. AS these figures reflect the
results of operations in a fairly nor
nal year, it is believed confidently
that the Southern people will under
stand the imperative necessity of
curtailing passenger train service
temporarily under the extraordinary
conditions now obtaining.
Restoration of present service and
additions will be made from time to
ime as conditions may justify"
