Cnrrolllon, Mo.. March M (Special.) The Interest In the Talor trial was unabalcd when court opened this morning, the room being crowded vvllli nnxlous spectators. Tho two defendants In tho case still pos sessed tint Indifferent bearing which Ins oharactcrbed them since the bnglnnlng of the trial. The stato began tho proceedings by tho Introduction of M. 8. llurdett, of llrownlng, a blacksmith, who said two diys before the murder. Hill Taj lor went to ins shop anil llurdett said to him that Ous Meoks was back. "Ves, and I know what he is back for, nmt ho will get what ho came inck for, too," said Taj lor. llurdett said Tavlor spoko In an angry tone and his ejes twinkled. "What do j oil mean when jou say Ills eyes twinkled?" asked Lawjer Hale. "Why, jou know, 1)111 Taylor's ejes do look pretty sharp when he Is mad," said tho witness. D. C. Tierce swore that soon before the Meeks murder George Taylor told him, In talking over tho cattle case In which Meeks was expected to testlfv against them: "We'll get tho fellow out of tho way. He'll never testify against us." A. It. Dllllnger testified that ho had a conversation with mil Taylor. In which he said that he would sco that Gus Meeks would bo killed before ho would allow him to testify. Mrs. John Carter was then put on tho s'tand. It was to her liouse that Nellie Meeks went when she crawled out of the stravvstack the morning after tho tragedy. She Is W j ears old, and lives with her son 1'rank, whose farm adjoins George Tajlor's. nnd whose nouso Is 1 yards ..um mo straw stack, where the dead bodies of the Meeks family were found. On tho morning of May H she arose at 4 o'clock and prepared breakfast for her son, who then wont to a distant field to finish planting some corn, "llctween 5 and fi o'clock," she went on, "I heard a peculiar cry outside the house. I listened and when It was repeated I recognized It as the wall of n, child. I opened the kitchen door and saw a llttlo girl walking towards me. I said, Jiello, honej; where do ou come from?' She said: 'I slept In tho hay stack.' 'Where at?' I asked. 'Itlght out jonder.' and the child pointed In tho direc tion of the stack over In the middle of George Tajlor's plowed field." Mrs. Carter said tho child was crj-lnr and held one hand to tho sldo of her face with a hood In the other. 'I he child con tinued sobbing and siitl; "Mv little sl,n.r is out In tho straw stack. Please conio out and helii me get her out." Tho child's hair was thick with clotted blood, In which straw- was sticking. There was blood on her face and clothes, too. "Oh, it was hor rilile," she went on, and the tears stn ameti do'.m her che.k. "The child said her name was ettIo Meeks. and her rnti. ...,.1 mother and little Hattle and Mamie, the lubj'. were out In the stack with bloou all ovil them." Mrs Cirtcr sent her son, Jimmle Carter n j ens old, to see If then- were any bodies In tho stiaw, and she stood at the door and watched them. She saw Gooi-ey. T.nin. i.- jowlng near tho stack, and Jlimnlo went to him nnd Taj lor stopped tho hirrow a mo mtnt Then ho drove the horses nt a trot to liN birn and took the boj with lilm In a few moments the boy went back and Mrs. Cartel sent III in and VhIM., . . - . the stiaw stack, and she went to tho fence and watched them, bhe saw Xettle dig In tho stiaw. nnd then little Xettle throw up her cl isped hands nnd cried: "Oh, mam ma and pipa, oh, minima and papi!" ' The scene In tho touit room at this point was veiy pathetic, The silence was In- icuo.,, uniKtMi oniy iiy tne sobbing of the witness and the suppressed breathing of tho vast audience. Strong men were teen to wipe the moisture from their nvrs no ii,n details of the atrocious crime weia made known, niiilng this pathetic plctuio as presented by the witness, the Tajlors sat unmoved mid with stolid Indlfferenco de pleted upon their faces. Mrs. Carter was asked if she saw In the court room tho child who came to her iiousu on tne morning the bodies were found, unit she pointed to Xettle and called tho child to her, Sho went to tho woman's chair and .Mrs. Carter removed tho child's mm u dimmer cap nnd looked at the livid scar In tho crown of her head. "Vps " xhn said, "this Is the bame little girl who came to my house that morning." There was the utmost Interest manifest ed in the nppe.tiance of the little girl In the court room und It was soino time before quiet was restored. The next witness was Mrs. Carter's son Jimmle, who said that when ho started for tho strawstack ho found George Taj lor harrowing, und told him a little girl had found tome dead people in tho straw stack, Ho asked Taj lor to go ami help him find them, but George took him to the barn and made him hold tho tpntn uhiia ,a ...... .. the house.

"The Journal Is much pleased lo see Hint the authorities hive llnnlly become aroused to the situation and hopts that the efforts to eradicate the tvll of gambling will not be spasmodic, but will continue until every m-Ku piiic-e is cioeu, "With assurances of friendship nnd eon sidei iilon, I nm jours verj- respectfully, "C. 11. nUWOItUS. Managing IMItor " Tho Journal has a list of tventvthro houses that have been running full blast, or "wide open" ns the sporting men have it, for some time. Last night, to make as surance doubly sure, a party of gentlemen went from the Journal olllce and visited numerous places where they miw the games being plajed openly. In somo places they were given cards and asked to come again. There seemed to be no secrecy about the pi ices whatever, and when a member of the Journal Company was recognized In one place he was joked about Iho recent publications on gambling houses. Since the major has .seen lit, In public print, to state that he does not believe tint gambling houses tiro open In Kanas CJIty nnd tint he does not believe that tho editor of the Journal has a list, the Journal will make the following olTer: The Journal will put up the sum of ; if the m nor or chief of police will put up $100. If the Journil does not conclusive! prove that gambling rooms were running In Kansas Cltv up to 0 o'clock last even ing, It will pay its $:w to any charitable In stitution In Kansas City. If It does prove the proposition then tho $100 put up by the friends of the gamblers is to go to tho same Institution. The Journal has been called upon for Its list of gambling rooms. It has the list, but since it has had on eperlence whero a city detrcllve warned a gambling house against n Journal reporter. It does not care to be (int In a position wheie It will bo be trayed by having the gambling houses warned. It will furnish the list to anj two reputable citizens who will see that the ollleers assigned to the dutj make the ar rests wherever the gimbl. rs.ire found The mivor ntlgm Hires the editorial In jesterd.iy morning's Journal as an "unwar ranted attack" iiiion him. If the calling of the major's attention to vlolitlons nf law is an attick, then the Journal must pit id guilty. If an attack on a gambling clement Willi n ins curst d the city for jears Is nn att uk on the m ijor oi the chief of polite, then Hie Jouin il pleads gulltv If the mavor has no Inlet est 1n sdilildlng olthei the chltf of pollen or the gambling dens, then there Ins been no attack on him and the Journal Is nit gulltj The major took oeeislon to attack an emploje of the Jnurn ll and accuse the man iglng editor of "sending for hlin " The facts are that nftt r the edltuil il. which the mavor sajs Is nn "unwainnted attack" on him, was written, It w-is read to an edi torial writer on the paper and he was told to ste the major and mv to him tint such nn editorial had been vviltten and If ho de bited to lit. hinnl on the untler before its publication the editor would be glad to i ilk to him 'nds w is simply a eouitesy showed to the major, ns he was an Inter ested partj'.
