tertained. II was thought the accused
were members OF a secret society. the
Sons of Liberty. that was held to be
dangerously reasonable.
The fact that all the accused ex-
cept Herold were sympathizers with
the South made their cases hopeless.
Somebody must suffer for Llncoln's
death" was the cry of the North.
When first arrested they had been
taken on board the monitor Saugus.
or the monitor Montauk. on the navy
yard. where. in chains, they were con-
fined beneath iron decks. To the left
ankle OF each was fastened an iron
band for a two-foot chain. and to the
chain was fastened an iron cone a
foot high. weighing 70 pounds. On
Lewis Powell, alias Payne, and Geo.
A. Atzerodt were put the added weight
OF a ball and chain.
The hands OF the six were manacled
with iron bands connected with a bar
OF iron IL inches long. An exception
was made OF DIT. Samuel A. Mudd.
whose handouts were connected with
a chain.
over the head OF each was placed
n rough flannel hood, or cap, drawn
with a string about the neck. A hole
was left for the mouth. but none Tor
the eyes. II was stated that this de-
vice was employed because Payne
tried 20 end his life by dashing his
head against a beam on board the
monitor. The manacles. weights ana
chains. and the presence OF four
guards for each prisoner. reduced the
possibility Of suicide TO a minimum.

Suffering OF Prisoners.
The suffering OF the prisoners from
the caps was great. from the warmth

Of the light from their eyes When
they were brought into court and the
caps were removed, the light OF DAY
for a time blinded them.

INCREASE PAY OF
LOCAL INSPECTOR
HEAD OF COUNTY LIVE STOCK
DEPARTMENT WILL GET SIS
PER MONTH.

One Of the duties of the county
quarterly court at the July term will
be the election Of a county live stock
inspector. The term OF the present
inspector, Bert E. Erwin, of McCains,
expired at the April term of the court
but the election was postponed
awaiting action by the legislature on
a bill amending the law creating the
office. This amended act has passed
and is now law. 1t provides for the
election of the county live stock in.
spector annually and fixes his salary at
SIS per month.
Only one candidate is now in the
field for the Office and that is the in.
cumbent, who has been for year
most efficiently filling the duties of the
place. 1t is not now thought likely
that he will have any opposition The
salary under the old law is $50 pei
month, but it was felt that this was
inadequate where the inspector must
furnish his own horse and buggy and
pay all of his expenses.

DOLLAR WHEAT
SAYS Mr.. ASHTON
VETERAN MILLER TALKS ABOUT
THE PRICE OF THE GOLDEN
GRAIN.

Dollar wheat is the prediction OF
the veteran miller John p. Ashton.
Mr.. Ashton, one of the Oldest if not
the oldest miller in the county, was
talking to a Herald man this morning
about the opening price of the 1915
wheat crop. Mr.. Ashton stated that
it looked like dollar wheat to him
and that he felt certain that the dol
lar mark would be the price. Mr.
Ashton stated as yet that he had not
heard of any wheat that had been
cut, but that he know of some crops
that were about ready and that he
was sure that as soon as the rain let
up and the ground dried sufficiently
that the whir of the binder would be
heard in many Maury county fields.

GERMANY MUST GIVE

DECISION UNANIMOUSLY REACH
ED BY PRESIDENT AND .
HIS CABINET. -
TO AVOID LONG CONTROVERSY
This Government viii Not Tolerats
Clubbing and the Issue Must 30
SquareIy Met by the imperial Ger
man Government--Note on Friday

WASHINGTON, June AT the
end Of an exhaustive discussion Of the
German crisis today the cabinet and
the President stood as one man i'm
this attitude
The United States cannot engage In
long darwn-out diplomatic CONVEX
sation with Germany over incidental
matters until it has received assur~
ances from the imperial government
that the lives of non-combatants ara
to be safe at sea.
In this respect it was decided that
the note soon to go forward must res
iterate our original demand for this
assurance, and that a discussion of
the equipment of the Lusitania, with
showing of proof, can take place aft
erward. u,
There were various ideas as to the
form the note should assume, and the
President asked Secretaries, Bryan.
Garrison and Lane to hand him writ
ten memorandum of points they rails.
ed which they thought should be In
cluded. The President today request
ed the press of the United States not
to speculate upon the contents of the
note, but that it will reiterate the
original demands of this nation is
taken for granted here, and no long
er considered to lie in the realm Of
speculation. Among the things the
cabinet discussed today we're the fol-
lowing:
Whether the note should take cog.
nizance of Minister Won Jagow's unof-
fetal statement that Germany had not
yet made final reply and should,
briefly answering the contentious that
the Lusitania was armed and carried
explosives and troops, demand that
final answer forthwith.
Whether a point raised by the gov
ernor of Oregon should be incorpor-
ated in the rebuttal, this point being
that Germany had never asked the
United States to prohibit the Lusita-
MIA from clearing, which the imperial
government would have done had the
Lusitania been considered a war ves-
sell
It is now believed probable that
the final draft Of the reply will not
go forward until the next cabinet
meeting, which will be held on FRI
day. At that meeting the President
is expected to submit the note in
final form.
