Ex-Circuit Judge Charles Fred Ticker,
who for many years sat upon the
bench and greatly distinguished him-
self for legal ability, and who was re-
garded as having one of the clearest
legal miuds in Texas, stated the law-
governing prize fighting as follows:
"The last legislature adopted a new
criminal code in which it made prize-
fighting a misdemeanor, punishable
with a line of not less than $500 nor
more than SI.000 and imprisonment
for thirty days. This law went into
operation July 20th, just passed.

More Particulars Regarding This
Heinous Crime and the Prob-

of the Coroner«

The horrible murder of Mrs Louisa
C. Mitchell near Choctaw City, report
of which was printed in the papers
yesterday, is still keeping the people
of that neighborhood in a state of ex-
citement bordering on frenzy. Nearly
every man is out looking for the das-
tardly villain, and should the right
party or parties be caught, no pjwer
can prevent a lynching by the mad-
dened inhabitants.
A number of arrests have been made.

Everyone who knew the deceased
lady speaks in the highest terms of
praise of her as a Christian lady and a
devoted and loving wife. The ease
ha-s lost its most revolting feature, as
it is now known that no criminal as-
sault was perpetrated, and the theory
now is that revenge for imaginary
wrongs, for which the dead lady was
in no way responsible, was the motive
that prompted the fearful deed
From the Oklahoma City dailies the
following particulars of liie crime
were gleaned.

THE VERDICT IS CHEEKED.
Scene*of Dramatic Interest Ht the Clone
of the <Jreat Trial at Carrollton,
Mo.—A Woman Near Alva,
Oklahoma, Commit*
Suicide Ky Hang-
ing.
Carrollton, Mo., Aug. 3.—[Special]
"We the jury, find the defendants,
William P. and George Taylor, guilty
of murder in the first degree." Such
is the verdict rendered at 2:20 o'clock
yesterday afternoon in the notorious
Meeks murder trial.
It took but one ballot to decide that
the Taylor brothers were guilty of the
crime charged against them and that
the penalty for the butchery of Meeks,
his wife and two children, on Jenkins
hill, 011 the night of May 10, 1804,
should be set at the limit.
The jury went out sharply at noon
and when it returned two hours and
twenty minutes later and returned its
verdict, there was no doubt as to the
spectators approval of it In an in-
stant nearly 1,000 people crowded the
court room, broke forth in a volley of
cheers that were only silenced by the
threats of arrest made by Judge Buck-
ner. Sentence will be deferred for
the present.
Colonel .John 15. Hale made the clos-
ing argument for the defense, and
pleaded for mercy for his clients on
behalf of their families.
Prosecutor T. M. liresenhan, who
closed for the state, made a terrible
arraignment for the prisoners
"I will show you," he said, ' beyond
a reasonable doubt by a chain of cir-
cumstantial evidence in which there is
not a link missing, that the Taylor
brothers murdered (ius Meeks and his
family 011 Jenkins hill. It was a
butchery—it were flattery to call it
simoly murder—I will show you that
these men. William and George Tay-
lor, are the butchers of the Meeks
family, ami I demand their punish-
ment. "
While he talked, Mill sat white and
nervous. George's face was fiery and
Mrs. Taylor's lips trembled and it was
with difficulty that she kept from
weeping.
Mr. Bresenhan's speech grew strong-
er as he proceeded and just before he
closed he rose to a height seldom seen
in a country court house. When he
closed the people burst into a roar as
they realized that the case was all
closed but the verdict.
Sharp at noon the jury was locked
in the court room to deliberate.
They Were All Agreed.
At 2:20 o'clock word was sent to
Judge Ruckner that the members had
agreed upon a verdict.
At 2:2f> o'clock the Taylors were
brought into co«rt. George had not
lost his color, but Bill was pale as
| death. The clerk called the jury and
read the verdict.
The crowd began to applaud vigor-
ously and Bill Taylor half rose in his
seat with a look of terror in his eyes
that was pitiful.
The judge and sheriff rapped for or-
der but still the crowd applauded like
a mob at a Roman circus and the judge
rose in the bench and shouted: "Sher-
iff. arrest any man that applauds!"
Then began a rush for the doors,
when dozens of men ran to the tele-
graph office to send dispatches to the
people of Browning and Milan. The
crowds gathered in the court house
square and on the streets to discuss
the verdict. All were jubilant.
The verdict was reached on the first
ballot. It took some time before all
announced themselves ready for the
ballot, but when the ballot was ready
it was solid for conviction. This was
in the nature of a surprise, even to
themselves.
The defense will file a motion for a
new trial, but it is not believed that
it will be granted.
SUICIDE IN A DUGOUT.

Alva, O. T., Aug, 3.—[Special. ]At

of a suicide in his neighborhood:
Thursday he was working three-quar-

Smith, a neighbor, cutting corn, and
between 11 and 1o'clock he, accom-
panied by Mr. Smith and Mr. Ilrooks,
went to his house to water their
horses, and found Mrs. Grant hanging

around her neck and after making the
rope secure above stepped off a chair
and had been dead two or three hours
when found.
POPULIST PROFESSIONS.
Their Conduet Not Tended to Promote 1 he
Puhlle Good.
[Outbrie state Capital.]
Editor Statk Capital: To listen to
the vaporings of populist speakers
and read the blood and thunder ed-
itorials in the populist press, one
would think that a condition of things
exists which cannot be remedied by
lawful or peaceful means or described
in truthful or temperate language.
In a country whose constitution and
laws provide for peaceful and legal
revolution by the will of the majority,
and where laws, if oppressive or not
adapted to existing conditions, can be
repealed and suitable laws enacted iu
their stead by the will of the major-
ity, how useless and stupid seem the
war-blathering orations and editoiials
of populist press and platforms.
Many a populist whose inspiration
comes from reading populist papers
imagines a war is imminent between
capital and labor that civil war will
shortly occur. The idea is carefully
inculcated that courts of justice are
corrupt, that legislators are mere can-
didates for bribery, that every official
from president to policeman is seek-
ing to plunder the people, and that
every man whose enterprise has
brought him wealth has robbed the
"toiling masses." The most brilliant
populist orator or editor is he who can
recite the the longest real or imagin-
ary tale of woe and prescribe as a rem-
edy the doubtful experiments of pop-
ulism.
"Let the public mind once become
thoroughly corrupt and all attempts
to secure property, liberty or life by
mere force of laws written on parch-
ment will be as vain as to put up
printed notices in an orchard to keep
off canker worms." Horace Mann.
The anarchists fully understand
this, ami act accordingly, with a view
of making government by law ineffi-
cient. The doctrines of populism re-
duced to practice, would inevitably
produce the same result. Its press de-
nounces law and advocates experi-
ment. Instead of upholding law it
endorsed the illegal and riotous per-
formances of Sovereign and Debs. It
waxed indignant and declared that
the liberties of the people are stricken
down, because one Jacob Coxey, an
Ohio horse dealer, was not allowed to
harrangue a crowd on the steps of the
national capitol. Instead of money it
advocates an imaginary currency, pro-
posed by the above mentioned horse-
man. His idea of currency and public
roads, and railways and referendum
are so coincident with populist wis-
dom, he will probably be the candi-
date of that party for the highest
ottice beyond its reach. Populist doc-
trines are set forth in that incompara-
ble document, the Omaha platform of
1s'. 2. The hope of improvement lies
chiefly in the fact that a worse one
cannot be made. Its campaign litera-
ture consists of novels ami pamphlets;
such as "Ten Men of Money Island,"
"Looking Backward," "Seven Con
spiracies," etc., containing erroneous
statements and conveying erroneous
ideas. Its professed desire for the re-
monetization of silver, while its ora-
tors and press denounce metallic mon-
ey and advocate a currency based on
nothing and redeemable in the same
material, might be viewed with suspi-
cion But in view of their professions
of patriotic intent, regard for law. re-
spect for the rights of property, disre-
gard for office, spreading delusion
honestly (?) hoping it will be accepted
as truth who can doubt the absolute
sincerity of intelligent populist lead-
ers? Anyone. Everybody.
