OX AND ITS MASTER
GOTOCHAIN-OANG
"Old Man Myers" and Beast of
Burden Sore Trial to County
Authorities.
tSpcclal to The Times-Dispatch;]
Statesville, N c. July 10.?Iredell
county Is sorely put to it to know
Just how to deal with Alfred Myers,
Myers really belongs to Wlikes county,
and Iredell authorities wish him buck
there. He is- getting along towards
late evening of llfe^ He is u cripple.
"Old Man Myers," as he is commonly
known and referred to about here,
began making visits to Iredell county
several years ago. He traveled in an
ox-cart and peddled cherries and other
J'ruits. This much he did legitimately,
but it developed that he was also
peddling blockade liquor. For this lie
wns airested, convicted and sentenced
to the chain-gang. His ox is an ex?
ceptionally good one. It is a belter
ox than Myers is n man. My'ers
pleaded that tht court allow mm
to take his ox to the gang ami help
S.im serve Iiis sentence, thereby inantn?
Iiis term shorter. This was done. As
soon as his term expired and he was
released Myers and his ox headed fdr
Ills old digglns. but he was soon in
court again, and received a tail sen?
tence. Next ho was sentenced to tho
county home for ciciit months. This
was finished a few days ago. ami
Myers is now trying to make trouble
for those that have made troublo lor
him.
Myers's ox was of no use at the,
county home, nnd the commissioners
nent it to the Chain-gang fbr service
while Myers was serving his time in
the county homo It developed that
the ox was too slow and a-as a losing
proposition on the gang and the com?
missioners sold him for S.IT.r.O nnd
turned the money into the county
treasury. Now Myers 1? giving trou?
ble by demanding his ox or 3160. II
appeared before the commissioners
nnd they agreed to give him the fJT.T.O
received for the ox. but Myers will
rot take it. and Is threatening 'tilt for
damages He asserts that he had been
offered tlO by Wilkes hunters for tho
horns alone, and that he would not
have taken several hundred dollars
for the nt.
Myers and his ox have been closo
friends, and he talked much to him
when driving him ahout the country.

had been paid from the jackpot fund in
the interert of legislation.
"Through whom dirt he pet his
money? Old he get It frcm Lee O'Kell
Brown, Larimer's friend?" asked Mr.
Smith.
"Possibly," admitted Mr. Jones.
Mr. Smith charted that the scurry?
ing among the Jackpot crowd hud been
coincident with the investigation Into,
tho Lorim^r election.
"Why did they do It" he asked.
Mr. Jones contended that such a I
course was natural In view of the gen-j
era! guilt of the men ;.nd their fear|
of exposure. nut Mr. Smith would .
hot agree to this. He charged that *tj
was "the most conven'ent whip that!
Brown had had In forcing the election'
o: a Senator." Mr. Smith expressed'
the opinion that the case of Mrs. Hen-1
ning against Mr. Funk had been instl-i
luted to aff'ct the case. He thought it'
had beer. Intended to Influence a wit

asked Mr. Jones.
"Yes. i do," responded Mr. smith.
??Then." said the Washington Sen-'
ntor, "the Senator from Michigan has a
lower regard for the members of the
committee than he hitherto has pro-,
fessed."
Iteferencea to iVriurr.
Rfercnces to perjury In connection
with the Lorlmer case brought out a
vigorous statement from Senator Jones.
"The case against Senator Lorlmer Is
based upon and buttressed with forg?
ery," he said.
Ho declared members of the Illinois
Legislature had sei/.ed upon an oppor?
tunity to procure immunity from pro-;
secutlon tor bribery by connecting
Senator Lorlmer with illegal acts In
connection with the election. As an
evidence of this he declared those
charged with or who had admitted re-'
celving money for legislation In II?
Knots were still free from prosecution;
in that State.
.Mr. Jones expressed the opinion that
the money distributed by Browne had
h'-on contributed by the liquor men.
"That was the most aCtiVo Interest at
Springfield, and Browne was cons'd
erjed the representative of the 1 quor
rheh In the Legislature."
"Is there any evidence to support
that theory.'" asked Senator Beed.
"It Is bastd much on the same theor"
that Is pursued by Senator Lorlmcr's
opponents in connecting him wltn the'
case," Mr. Jones replied. "There is
positive evidence, but from the re-j
<ord It 1? the most probable theory as
where the money came from." j
"Isn't It Just as reasonable to sup?
pose that the corruption fund was used
; elect Lorlmer as to Tifluence leg;s-j
lation " Senator Tomertne asked. ;
I do not think so." replied the,
speaker. "Mr Lorlmer was a candl-j
only about ten days before his
election and there was no one at'
Springfield In hi* behalf It was a'
legislative fund, and there is nothing
In the record to Indicate that the
money was for any other purpose." I

CITIZENS GIVE LIST

President Reed of Association Makes Public Its
Nominating Committee and Names of Those
Indorsing Its Action.
W. T. Reed, president of tho Citizens'
Association, gave out yesterday u statu
ment in winch the public is informed

Tne stat- ment, with the names of tne

'lu the citizens of Richmond:
Tiie Citizens' Association was formed
at the earnest request of a. number of
our citizens for tue purpo.se of Select?
ing the very best possiole available
material lor the Administrative Board,
Tiie plan ilrsi suggested was a primary
convention or a primary to select del?
egates to ti convention, who, in their
judgment, would thin pick out the flvo
best men to serve the city as members
of tiie Administrative Board, the most
important body to be selected by the
voters of the city of Richmond since
the Civil Wur. This plan was defeated
in the City Democratic Committee.
There was no secret about the Citizens"
Association, and the plans were pub?
lished in the newspapers at that time.
The Citizens' Association, since the de?
feat of Its plan for a convention, has
been actively at Work und has used its
utmost endeavors to select five men
who In Its Judgment would best serve
the city's Interest.
Our action along this line has simply
been In an advisory capacity. We fully
realize that the voters can and will
vote as they see tit. but we tilt that
ii committee, none of whom was pledged
to any candidate! who had no object In
tn view but the city's best interest,
would be of some service to the . itl
zens In selecting live available- men
who In their Judgment wer.- bt II stilted
or be.it fitted to serve the city on this
most important board.
The candidates recommended were
unanimously agreed upon by the Glt
Izcns' Association through Its commit:
let -. duly appointed In Joint session
last Friday afternoon. At this Joint
committee meeting there were present
the following citizens and taxpayers:

[Special t? The Times-Dispatch.]
Blue Kldge Spiings, Va., July 10 ?
There were three upcetnl matters to
day which were of unusual interest
to the members of the Virginia Press
oi-iut .on?-1 i.e clear an?l concise ad
dress of B. P. Barham, of the Peters?
burg Index-Appeal; the discussion of
the . hunges in the election of officers
of the association, and the narration
of happenings In Virginia journals
during the past year by Miss Bertha
Gray Robinson, of the Orange Ob?
server.
The morning session opened with
tho discussion of plans to induce
more members of the association to
attend the annual convention, and a
I resolution w as offered to abolish the
ottlci of vice-president, so that a real
election Of U president shall lake place
? wry year, .Mis. Campbell, Allen
I'OttS, And? rB?ri, MOSely, Whttteli,
Green, Hart, Donlt, Cooke and Thomas
took part In the discussion, which end?
ed with the adoption of resolutions
which give tho incoming president the
power to appoint the five members of
in.- executive comnikteo, and which
orders that all nominations for presi?
dent, vice-president, secretary and
treasurer be made from the floor nod
not through n nomination committee.
This will in no way Interfere with tho
election to-nibrrow ot Charles B.
Cooke as president, but it means that
hereafter tho vice-president will not
net essarlly bo advanced to the presi?
dency.
Incentive to Boosting.
A rcsolutloil was adopted which
makes it Imperative that an hour be
set aside Oh the second day of every
annual meeting when each member
will be ttSKod to give On account of
what his paper has done for the Wel?
fare ol Virginia. This movement will,
n is bop.d, make every editor of the
Stato a booster for Virginia nnd an
advertiser of the wonderful advantages
which the various sections of tho
State afford.
Mr. Barham's address on the cost
S stem as applied to successful news?
papers was heard 'with the greatest
Interest, it was remarkable for tho
? ison that while It was full of sound
information and practical advice, it
eschewed statistics and abounded In
Witty suggestions :u:d delightful nai
rntlve He urged all newspaper own
cri nd especially those who conduct
country weeklies, to study the cost of
production and to demand a fair and
I return for tho use of their
columns. So Rrently were the mem
Impressed by Mr. Barham's re?
marks that upon motion of B.litor
? li ::,cnts, of Appomnttox, Mr. Barham
anted to prepare a cost system for
the use of country papers. This work
Will be printed In the annual report
of th. association, and will be sent to
every newspaper owner In the State.
Miss Bertha Gray Boblnson. the hls
tdrlan of tho association, read a most
Interesting report telling la detail of
the changes that have taken place in
Virginia newspapers during Ina past
year in addition, Miss Boblnson read
a l.iight paper entitled "Pure Points
Rroni My Sanctum Pen.'' in which the
names of State papers and editor were
introduced wittily and humorously.

I [Special to The TlmeB-Dispatch.]

oner and tils father, old man Floyd
Allen, both testified to-day In the trial
jof Claude Allen, alleged slayer of
Sheriff Webo In the lllilsviiie court
I house tragedy. Testimony of the de
I fondant was practically the same as ]
that nlveii In his former trial, when
he was convicted of killing Judge i
I Masslc and given nfteen years.
He denied being a party to any con- j
splrary, and claimed ho shot only In |
defense of his father.
I Floyd Alliin denied threats against
[the life of f'ommonwealth> Attorney
j Foster, which a former witness hail i
testified he heard him make. During
one point In the examination, when
his son Claude was mentioned, the old j
I mountaineer broke down and wept.
In an attempt to weaken the all,;
I cation of a conspiracy, the defense In- ]
Itroduced direct and rorroborutl\ e evl- |
Iderice that Cabell Strlckler approached 1
Floyd Allen while the latter was wait- 1
lliiK for the verdict In the case that:
: precipitated the shooting, felt the old
man's pulse ,-,nd l?klnclv asked If it
had stopped beating. Iii Claud. Al?
iens formet trial it was testified that
the son himself feit h'i- father's pulse.
A)viii Cox claimed he saw Cabell ;
IStrlckley go up to Floyd Allen and
take his hand, at the same time ask- j
I ing about his pulse. Strlckley cor?
roborated the statement of Cox, say
/liig he went over to Floyd bv the
stove on the day or the tragedy, took his
I hand and asked If his pul?e was still
beating. The statement:, of these wit?
nesses were corroborated by Noah
I Itigley, an old man Introduced this
evening. He testified to the above
facts, and said on cross-examination
that he never thought It wan materiai, I
hav|ng forgot t**^* u until It was re- |
called by some one.
Floyd Aller., the first of the clan 1
i to be tried, and who was convicted I
jof murder in the first deq.-ec, was the I
I next on the stand. t'pon examination
by Mr. Willis he conllimed the state- I
:nicnts of Cabell Strickler, and denied
that he mad,, a threat acrnlnst Foster.
His examination lasted over one hour,
during which time his wife was in I
the court-room. Only once did he
break down, and then with the men?
tion of hl? boy's name,
Tho counsel for the defense offered
the record In tho former trial, clalm
1 iiK that It operated us an estoppel to
the Commonwealth to contend he was
guilty by reason of conspiracy, This
was objected to by the Commonwealth,
and the objection was sustained.
The prisoner himsek went on tho
stand ttus afternoon and gave a state
merit of the tacts and Incidents pre?
vious and subsequent' to the shooting
at Klllsvllle. Throughout his examina?
tion he talked In a frank, opeh man?
ner, stopping several times tor the
court to rule before he answered, ills
examination lasted one hour and thirty
minutes, and during this time he de?
nied each fact and circumstance ad?
vanced by tho Commonwealth tending
to prove conspiracy. Mining the af?
ternoon session his fiancee wa? In

him Inside the bar.
