No one has made affidavits charging any persons as participating In the lynching of Gaines on April 30, 1904. and no warrants have been placed In my hands for execution therefor. 2. I have endeavored to ascertain the names of the participants in such lynchlngs by Inquiries of such persons presumed to have been in the neighborhood of such lynching, notably, S.

H. Gibbons, the Justice of the Peace, who held an inquest the body of said Gaines Hall, on the Monday following the alleged lynching, but I have been unable to aeoertnln the names of any of the participants in such lynching, and therefore have made no arrest of such persons. S. No deputy of mine was in charge of the said Gaines Hall at the time of said lynching or at any other time that I am aware of. Tours very truly.

While the course of Admiral Schley Is regarded as oconstltutlng an offense under the naval regulations. It Is Improbable that any official notice will be taken of the article. The supposition In naval circles Is that the article was inspired by political motives, but It Is believed that even Admiral Schley cannot revive Interest In a dead eontroversy which resulted In a verdict to his discredit by a court of brother naval officers.

The patriotic citizens of Talladega County have tt Just right to feel gratified it these statements of Judge Wilkinson which were included In his report upon the books of Tax Assessor H. A.

Cook In speaking of Mr. Cook's books the Examiner said that he had filled to enter footings on each page of the assessment books as required by law. On this account each page was not balanced. Mr. Cook's additions and the totals were, however, found to be correct.

The Examiner found that because of the error of a clerk Judge J. E. Camp had failed to send to the State Auditor $6.00 which had been collected for license. As soon as Judge Camp's attention was called to the error of his clerk he remitted the amount to the State Treasurer. Otherwise the baoks of Judge Camp were found to be neatly and correctly kept.

As to Superintendent of Education John C. Williams, the Examiner said: "He Is a model superintendent." II praised the books and accounts of Mr. Williams. Judge Wilkinson also had only words of commendation for the books of Sheriff J. B.

met on everv hand anrl th wtuU In response to a letter of Inquiry from the Executive Department Sheriff J. S. Moore of Cordova, has written Governor Cunningham that he ha so far been unable to secure any evidence against any of the parties who lynched Ed Avery in that place on the evening of August 10. The Sheriff tells the Governor In his letter that he will spare no time in working to secure evidence that will Justify some arrests. The Sheriff also forwarded to the Governor the testimony which was taken before the coroner's Jury which was summoned to Investigate the killing of Avery.

Avery was the murderer of City Marshall MoNelson. He was arrested directly after the killing and lodged in the town calaboose. The arrest was effected by Deputies W. H. Nation and W.

H. Walker. Their testimony accompanies the communication of the Sheriff. Both testified that they left the little Jail directly after Avery had been locked up. The Jail at that time was surrounded by about 250 people.

They testified that they heard a pistol shot and that when they reached the Jail the door had been broken open and Avery had been shot to death. A number of well known citizens of Cordova were also examined, but they all testified that they did not know any members of the mob which killed Avery, nor did they see anybody attempt to break open the Jail or do violence to Avery. The Governor several days tgo addressed letters to the Sheriffs of all counties In which lynchlngs have recently taken place, asking several direct questions. The letters were addressed to the sheriffs of Autauga, Baldwin, Walker, Pickens and Marengo counties. The letter of the Governor was in full as follows: "My Dear Sir In accordance with Eec'tton 121 of th Constitution, you are hereby directed to answer the following questions: Has any one made affidavits charging any persons as participiting In the lynching of on 1904 and have warrants under such iffldavits, been placed in your hands went inrougn tne season without getting stung from ten to a thousani' times was.

25. 1904. Hon. R. M.

Cunningham, Montgomery, Dear Sir I have the honor to reply to your official inquiry of the 22nd relative to the killing of Rufus Lesuere on August 16, and submit the following: First No affidavits have been made by any one, charging any person or persons with participating In the above mentioned crime, and no arrests have been made, either with or without warrants. Second Since the commission of said offcr.se. I have constantly endeavored to ascertain the participants therein, but suspicion has pointed to no particular persons to such extent as would, in my opinion. Justify arrest. Third No deputy of mine was In charge of Lesuere.

and none of my official force was on the ground at the time, nor had I received any notification Sheriff or otherwise, that Lesuere had been apprehended. I did not. In fact, have any Intimation of said arrest having been made until I learned of the killing of Lesuere under the circumstances mentioned In my previous report to you. With every assurance that I shall endeavor to execute the law as prescribed in the schedule of my official duties, and as called to my attention by your excellency.

My Dear Sir I have the honor to acknowledge receipt of your letter of 23rd. and In reply thereto beg to say: First No one, to my knowledge, has made affidavits In case of lynching of Reuben Sims, and no warrants have been placed In my hands for execution.

Second I have endeavored to ascertain names of the guilty persons, but have not been able to get any evidence, though I have reason to believe that I know some of the parties who composed the mob.

Cunningham, Governor. Montgomery. Ala. Dear Sir In answer to the questions in your letter of Aug. 23, In reference to the lynching of Ed Avery, at Cordova.

on Aug. 20, 1904. I beg to submit the following report: From the very best Information that I can get from the best cltliens of Cordova, that from the time' the negro Avery shot Marshal Nelson until the negro was killed. It could not possibly have covered a longer period of time than ten or twelve minutes. I make this statement in order that you might know that there was no plans laid by the people of Cordova to violate the law, but came up very quickly and was nil over before the people had time to think.

There have been no warrants sworn out and placed In my hands charging anybody with lynching Ed Avery at Cordova. on Aug. 20, 1904. If the warrants had been placed in my hands they would hnve been executed at once. In answer to question Ho.

I beg '0 say that I have endeavored to ascertain the names of the parties connected with the lynching, hut as yet I haye been unable to find evidence sufficient against any one to Justify an arrest. Myself and chief douty anil others spent Sunday In Cordova, Immediately after the lynching and were present at the coroner'? Inquest nnd we all did our best to locate the guilty parties, but failed tn get any information a to who were concerned In the lynching. We examined twelve or fifteen of the best people of Cordova who It seems to me. were in a position to have known as much about the lynching1 as anybody and you will see from their evidence before the Coronors Jury that they saw the mlxup at or near the city JaiL but could not or Pilsener 1 Constipation, its Cause and Curt A person In order 10 be healthy get rd of the waste products (or poisons) of th body Nature has provided four ways to get rid of them: Th.
