This witness was cross-examined on
some other minor points and was then
w ithdrawn, after which Jesse Bennett,
police oilieer, corroborated statements
of other officers.
Dr. Amos Graves deposed as to the
fatal effect of the wound and its nature.
Mr. W. 11. Simms stated he was in tluit
neighborhood on the night of the tragedy
and that lie beard a woman's voice say
ing. "fire, d—n it fire 1”
After examining Owen Cook, a friend
of Russell, and Joe Wilkins, who de
veloped no interesting evidence, the
State informed tne Court they would
rest their case.
The first w :mss cilled for Ilie de
fense was Lily Waugh, who stated she
and Russell were in the. parlor and that
he drew his pistol and put it against her
head, and further that there were about
15 men in the j arlor at the time of Ilic
shooting. She detailed the facts of
Russell only having paid 15 cents on the
second bottle of beer and that she saw-
Breeding before the shooting; he was in
Vick's room with Cook.
This morning Mr. Breeding wa'
placed on the stand. His talc of the af
fair was briefly as follows: He stated
he was In conversation with Clif! Cook
in u room nt Gibson's house and went on
to say : "During the conversation l>e
tween ourselves, I heard some loud talk
ing on the outside of this room out in
the yard. I w alked out of the room and
told Mr. Cook there was some trouble
on the outside and started out of the
house, going out on the walk; there was
a man standing there about six or eight
feet from the gate near a tree, and be
was using pretty hard language
and I thought the man was drunk.
I heard him say 1 have
got the best of you I can do you up.
She told him you are a coward; you have
not goljthe nerve to lire that gun.” Mr.
l ook told me it was not necessary for
me to leave; he did not think there was
going to be any trouble,he said“stay here
a few minutes and we will resume our
conversation.” 1 passed into Hie room
mid Cook was passing out. I heard 11
shot tired as I went into tl.e room. I
turned around and took was staining
at the edge of the porch ami lie tired tUo
shots in the direction of the gate; there
was quite a commotion from some peo
ple there and I walked to the back part
of the house and stayed there, I suppose
10 minutes and left the house. This was
the most important evidence elicited by
his examination in chief. Breeding then
underwent a rigorous cross-examination
nt the hands of Major Teel, and the wit
ness contradicted himself on many ma
terial points; he was still on the stand
nt the time the Lum ( reporter left the
court room.

Murderer Lynched
Vim exne-. Ind.. January Is.—Holly
Epps, the murderer of Farmer Dobson,
has expiated the terrible crime at the
hands of Judge Lynch. About 12:50
this morning a crowd of masked men, 20
or 30, carrying sledge hammers and va
riousotherimplements,marched through
the suburbs of the city. Being refused
entrance by the Sherif!', they knocked
down the door of the jail and proceeded
to Epps' cell, dragged forth the crimi
nal and hanged him to the nearest tree.
Epps was the negro who murdered his
master with an ax anil attempted an as
sault upon his mistress. She. however,
proved too much for him, defeated his
object, and succeeded in attracting the
neighbors, who arrested the murderer.
Professor Cook’s Opinion.
New Youk, January 18.—In an address
before the American Temperance Asso
ciation, in Chickering Hall, Joseph < ook,
of Boston said: “We are the most
drunken race on the planet, and the
palm for red noses should be awarded to
Irish, Germans, and Americans.’’ To
make a knowledge of alcoholic effect on
the *humaii system compulsory in the
schools was to take the bull by the
horns. Cook bad not lost nil hope that
the Republican party would yet lead a
crusade against the liquor trallie.
Shrewd Advertising.
A gentleman from St. Paul returned
to his home after a visit to Chicago, and
was narrating to a friend his experience
while visiting nt the battle of Gettys
burg panoranin. “Do you know, sir,”
said be, "1 was standing there in the
crowd looking at the picture w hen a
limn dashed up the stairs, pushed bis
way to the front, and says, ‘let me see it!
I was in that battle myself. Yes. sir,
there's the very fence that I jumped
over when the rebs were pushing our di
vision. When I got over the fence I
dropped my hat, and, by gum, there
it is!’”
The other St. Paul man had also been
to Chicago, and had likewise seen the
panorama. “TVas the man who rushed
in a tall, one-armed fellow, with a gray
beard?”
“Yes." replied bis friend.
"Well. I guess that's the same man
who rushed in and said the same thing
when I was there.”—[Buffalo Express.

AUSTIN LETTER.
The Blood-Stamed Ax and Its Awful
Crime Other Items.
IMitoi-Niu Antonio Light.
Alsiis. January 17.—“ What's this?”
inquired your correspondent of Mr.
Henry Brown, an attache of the police
department, us lie picked up a large
large sized ax that stood in a corner of
Marshal Lucey's office, “That, sir. is
the Weapon which terminated the life ot
the pretty Mrs. Eula Philipps on the
night of December 2ttii." Your curres
pumlelit here picked up the ghastly
looking ax. imide so by its blood stained
handle, and the bloody linger prints
which still remain upon its handle and
blade, made by the victim of the cruel
tragedy in her endeavors to ward off the
blows of the assassin. Mrs. P. had but
a short hour before her untimely death
arranged a Christmas tree, tilling its
branches with I ttle tokens of love that
was to meet the gaze of little children
in tlie morning and dealt out to them ns
tin* gifts of kind old Santa Claus.
"Wlmt a pity that that old ax can not
talk." puts In the acting Marshal. ( ap
tuin Kirk, "its words would vibrate un
til It hud reached every Imiulet of the
world and bring to the bar of jnsti ’e anil
finally to the allows a fiend whose
cruelty stands unparalelled in the his
tory of erime."
I lie snd tidings announcing ttie deutli
of Mrs. James E. Lucey, nt SaltUlo,
Mexico, reached this city on the night
of the Dttli instant. Mrs. Lucey has
been in declining health for several
years and in the hope of regaining it.
her husband moved from this city to Sal
tillo. but all efforts in that direction
proved of no avail. Mrs. Lucey was
partly raised in Austin, and her many
friends feel sorely afflicted by her death.
Captain Lucey in this, hie sad bereave
ment, Ims the heanfelt sympathy of a
host of friends.
Mrs. murderess ofberjJiild,
is still confined in the county jail, seem
ingly indifferent as to her fate.
It is said the city will in the near fu
ture erect a city calaboose and work
house. It Is badly needed.
Captain J. P. Kirk has been acting
nmrslml during the absence of Captain
Lucey, and Ims done much good work.

Chicago Socialists.
Chicago, January 17.—Socialists at
their meeting to-day discussed the ques
tion, "Why do men sleep in the tun
nel»?" Several speeches endeavored to
show that it was entirely owing to the
existence of capitalists that they were
obliged to sleep in tunnels and anywhere
night overtook them. T. P. Duper said
Hie Socialists would not get their due
until they burned everything before
them, as General Sherman did on his
march through Georgia.

city. The casket was taken to the old
Swedish Church, where it will remain
until the funeral. On the arrival of the
cortege at the church, the casket was
carried and placed on a catafalque, with
floral offerings grouped over and around
it. Friends o! the deceased will hold

take place at 2 o'clock to-morrow after

be in the family lot in the old graveyard
which dates back certainly to 1798, and
traditionally to the days ot Fort Cbrisina
and the Swedish settlers of Peter Stuy
vesant's time.
