There Is now a general impression that

today that B. L. Ewen testified to hnv-

The crowd at the court house was large
today. The soldiers brought Jett and

SENSATIONAL DISCLOSURES.
The sensational disclosures made ie.j*e
this morning by Captain Ewen, the prin-
cipal witness against Jett lias thrown
Jackson Into a furore of excltem-ii'.
There was much stir about the court
house. Captain Ewen detail d the story of
the attempted bribery when he was of-
fered $5,000 and the money was counted
out to linn if he would agree to alter
Ills t-jMlmony so It would not Incriminate
With Colonel I jett. The offer, he said was made at his
home and those who made it gave him the
preference of accepting It or being killed.
If he t-stifled against Jett. Ewen held
another conference todsy with Inspector

al developments are expected. Ewen was
In th«^ camp last night and will remain in
