Many people are of the opinion that Beason is not the right man, as four other men have been arrested and confessed to the crime, but afterwards established their innocence.

TelephonelSo. That Fatal Game of Card3-Two Persons Killed in a Railroad Wreck. Loxqviiw, March 1. The following is the confession of Tom Forsyth, the murderer of D.C. Hill, treasurer of Panola county, at Carthage: "At noon on Friday he went into Hill's office to get a $20 bill changed.

Hill went to the safe to get the change, threw off the combination and leaned forward to unlock the inner door of the safe with a key he always wore attached to bia vest by a string. As Hill did so, he (Forsyth), picked up the axe and struck the blow that floored him, striking another blow after he had fallen. He then opened the safe, and crammed some of the money in his pocket. Hill began to struggle, and then, taking hi pen knife (which the day before he had honed to a razorlike sharpness), he cut the old man's throat, catching him by the long gray beard and thus holding the head back. He then secared his booty, looked cautiously out, saw the coast clear, and the door behind him.

He then went to an old blacksmith shop, kicked some of the boards aside, threw the money in and covered it up. A man passed just at the time and he thought the clinking sound of the falling money must have been heard. He watched that man all the afternoon, but he at last became convinoed his fears were groundless. He went out to see his girl, came back at eleven o'clock at night, returned the horse he had hired at a livery stable, got the money and hid it where it was found. He had no thonght of killing old man Hill; he went to get the twenty-dollar bill changed for Hill, was a good friend of his.

He had merely sharpened his knife the day before, because it was dull. Saturday afternoon Eugene Wyley was arrested on suspicion, and Tom Forsyth was sent to get some witnesses, whom Wylie Baid were at Beck-ville, who could prove an alibi for him. When the boy got to Grigfby's camp he hired a messenger for 2.50 to go on after the witnesses, and eat down to a poker game, in which he lost $113. After be returned to Carthage, he made up his mind he would nse no more of the money, but would marry his girl and go to Georgia, but when he got up here he got broke. He went back to Carthage, lie had to use the money.

Had it not been for that poker game he would never have been trapped, for he never intended to nse any more of the money until he got away The idea of throwing suspicion on Tip- pett was suggested by his knowledge of the fact that Tippett had been seen frequently about the old Harvey p'ace, and so he be took some of the money buried there and prompted the search that resulted in the discovery. He expected Tippett would be arrested, lynched and suspicion thus directed from him. He said his only regret was that he did not kill Pnrker when he found he was spotted. FORSYTH'S FATF. Terrible Scenes Attending; the Late Lynching in Eastern Texas.

Special Telegram to the Statesman. Fobt Wobth, March 1. As the par ticulars of the hanging of Tom Forsyth, at Carthage, yesterday, come in, the terrible details show both the murder and death of the murderer to have been sur rounded with scenes almost nnparalelled in the annals of crime. With his arms pinioned behind him, young Forsyth was led ts the foot of a ladder placed against the tree whereon he was to hang by unmasked men, friends and with sorrowful faeea meted out justice. One of the two sons of the murdered treasurer adjusted the rope around the doomed boy's neck.

Nearly all the details of the hanging were known to the lynched boy friends, who said as death was deserved and must come the sooner the end was reached the better. Clasped in eaoh other's arms, the mother and sister of the doomed son and brother prayed with streaming eyes and moans of an guish to their God of mercy for their loved one, while he, with stoioal Donoha-lanoe, climbed the ladder, received a drink of water from the hand of the son of his victim, and leaped into, eternity. Those who saw the leap say it seemed as if the neok was stretched the distanoe of a foot. Death came rapidly, and then the body was cat down, taken in the late treasurer's othoe and laid in the blood of his viotim. ON BED ELVEB.
