i story of the slaughter of the family
peculiarly brutal. He said he ai
re liked the Cottou family, and would
f have harmed them had it not been
pth,e fact that he was bullied. He
be armed himself with an ax not to
rt any of the people in the house, -but
prevent their escaping, as he had
told to watch the door.
le murder, Johnston said, was
lined by Bud McKnigbt, suitor of
( girl Maud Miller, whose mother,
Cotton, whipped her for allowing
night's attentions. This was the
motive he knew for the crime.
le said .Arch Joiner shot Cotton, the
1 of the household, with a gun, then

aa StevenB, with an ax cn the fore-
d. Joiner finished the men, and

opportunity fb see the negroes, after
whicn the march was resumed in a
southeasterly direction from Independ
ence. When within two miles of the resi
dence formerly occupied by the Cotton
family the crowd Bet up a yell. Just be
fore reaching Cotton's place, a few lines
of "Nearer, My God, to Thee" were
hummed to a doleful tune. Arriving at
the place where the five murders were
committed, Johnston and Joiner were
made to jump out of the wagon.
Joiner had loosened the rope on his
hands and made a daring break for free
dom. He got off a few feet, when some
one grabbed him. A short but sharp
tussle took place. Others rushed to the
rescue, and he was soon subdued and a
rope placed around his neck.
Johnston did nt endeavor to escape.
Joiner set up a piteous moan and begged
to be shot. He requested to be per
mitted to fight Johnston, saying John
ston had gotten him into all the trouble.
Johnston signified his desire to fight,
and the negroes were given an oppor
tunity to punch each other.
Johnston wub Not Burned.
Kew Orleans, Jan. 20. A dispatch to
the Times-Democrat from Amite City

Ashley-Uadwiu Suit Decided In
of Ilefeudeut.
San Francisco, Jan. 20. Superior
Judge Slack this morning decided the
Buitof Lillian Ashley against E. J. Bald
win for seduction. The case has been
tried and submitted to the court with
out a Jury some time ago.
The decision was against Miss Ashley,
who alleged that she had been seduced
by Baldwin at his hotel here ' in 1893,
She sued for $100,000 damages for her
self and for the support of her child, of
which she alleged Baldwin was the
father.
The court decided in favor of "Lucky"
Baldwin, on the ground that prior to
meeting Baldwin, Miss Ashley had not
been a chaste woman.
And thus the millionaire turfman,
ranchowner and hotel proprietor has
again demonstrated the fitness of hie
sobriquet.
