ROW, Is BELIEF.

Vicksburg, Miss, March 30.-Main-
tanning that friends working in the in
terest of DR.. e. r. Cook, whether to
his knowledge or not, are responsible
for the sudden change in the story of
the negro Charles Ruffin, regarding
the mysterious death in Vicksburg
some days ago of Blanche Pace, a
Winona stenographer, the Warren
county officials are making complete
investigation of the negroes turn.
Chief of Police Groome this after
noon declared that no third degree
methods were employed to get the
original statement from Ruffin which
was to the effect that Miss Pace wa;
| the girl found on the steps leading
from the doctors office a short time
before she was carried to the Washing
ton Hotel in dying condition.
The Vicksburg police believe tina
when the porter also is indicted as al
accessory to the crime, and faces thu
prospect of a prison term, he will tel
the truth regarding the whole matter
A determined effort is being mad
to have Cook indicted, just as sim
liar one is being made by his friend
to prevent such action by the gram
jury. This is the second time Coo
has been charged with a crime of thi
character.
It is expected that the grand jur
will act on the matter today or tomol
row.
