You Repeat II,
70 Asaociafen ,,.ress.

Msson, Miss, July t5.--During
a joint debate here last night
between Governor Earl Brewer
and State Senator Lee M. Russell,
Governor Brewer, it is said, in
formed Russell that if the latter
again made the charge that the
states chief executive had stolen
a bill pending in the legislature,
that he would cut RusseIl's throat
"from ear to ear"
The threat was uttered in low
tone, and was made for RusselPs
benefit alone, and after delivery
of the warning, Governor Brewer
left the speakers stand.
Russell afterwards addressed
the crowd, consuming the time
given for his rejoinder, and told
the popuIace, numbering nearly
1000 people, that the governor
had threatened to cut his throat.
During RusseII's principal ad-
dress, he insinuated that Cover
nor Brewer had had something to
do with the mysterious disappear
ance of hill pending in the Iegis-
Iature. The governor promptly
arose and speaking in a low tone
directly in Russe's ear, said:
"There are some thing won't
stand for, MIR. Russell, and the
people of Mississippi do not re-
quire me to stand for them, even
though | am the governor of their
State. The one thing won't
stand for is the accusation of
stealing, and | want to warn you
privately that if you accuse me OF
stealing, I'll cut your throat from
ear to ear"
Russell paIed for moment, and
retorted, "You can try that when
ever you get ready"
Standing squareIy between the
speaker and his audience, Cover
nor Brewer said:
"Whenever you make the
charge, ! am going to try it. II
you don't believe it, make the
charge again and I'll show you
better than ! can tell"
Governor Brewer then walked
off from the speakers stand. Rus
sell continued his speech, saying
that the governor had threatened
to cut his throat, but did not say
under what conditions the threat
was made, and did no repeat the
charge.

court room and conferred with Mr..
Smith. Mr.. Helton felt an interest in
the matter, as he represented Mr..
Smith when the kidnapping charges
against Miss Bennett were tried at
Harrisville, near Braxton, resulting in
Miss Benefits acquittal.
Wanted No Trouble.
In giving up the child, Mr. Smith,
through his attorney, told Judge
Featherstone that he did so not be-
cause he feared the outcome of being
tried on charges made by Miss Ben
nett that he had concealed the child,
and tried to extOrt money from her
because he was not guilty, but he had
decided to allow her to regain posses
sion of him on the advice of his
parents, Mr. and Mrs. Bret Hart, and
for the further reason that he be
lieved if he kept the child he would
be continually harrassed, and wher
; he grew older may have to be annoy
| ed by having to defend habeas corpus
proceedings. He declared he was no
guilty of Miss Benefits accusations
and stoutly maintained that havin,
