He aald that plana for machinery, elec tricity and transportation buildings- and for an amusement building are about finished. Mr. Ooode further stated that as soon as it is -learned how much - money will bo spent on the horticul tural hall plana will be made for the construction of that building. - It hag not yet been decided whether tha min ing exhibit will be placed in this build ing or In a separate one constructed for the purpose.

The doctrine or the "Rollers" haa not spread rapidly, and never waa tn good favor with the- masses. It is to- -toe doubted if at any time during their ex istence they had, mora than 100 adher ents.

O. V. Hurt, father-in-law of the prisoner, talked freely to friends today concerning tha capture. Mr. Hurt said: "When I went under the house after Creffleld ha would not at first coiae out. i saia, -come oui or mere, ana ne nnai ly came, , and aa he' crawled towards ma from under tha building he waa the most frightful looking human being I ever beheld.

' - Mr.- Hurt said that among tha things found with Creffleld's bedding in the pit under tha house waa ft letter written by the concealed man to hla wife, Maud Hurt-Cref field. The. missive was dirty ana crumpled but could easily be read. In this letter Creffleld upbraided hla wife -for depending ia any measure' on her father. He aald: - "You are looking to Hart to set vou out of the asylum, but you must 'have nothing to do with .him. Look to Ood for help. Hurt is ft fiend." This letter waa written, Mr. Hurt presumes, with the intention of having Mrs. O. v.

The jury found that Coleman came to i hla death from an electrio shock received from an Improperly Insulated wire of the Richmond Light and Rail road company, censuring tha company for its negligence, and recommended, that a charge of criminal negligence be made agalnat tha officials. Coroner Bchaefer arraigned tha com pany for Its neglect and declared he haa' had eight similar cases since aasumlng the duties of coroner, all due .to Ira proper insulation of the wires.
