Witness knew De Wees Bolton, who was killed at a polling place; had no conversation with him to the conduct of the election. Witness was in Brenham most of the election day; late in the afternoon went to Chapel Hill to See how the election was going; left there about 9 o'clock p.m., and rode to Llewellyn polling place where he ex: amined the tally list and made some inquiries as to how the election was going; sent two telegrams about the election—one to D. D. Bolton telling him that “things were mixed” in Brenham. “DO YOUR WORK.” ‘Mr. Spooner asked: “Did you not telegraph, Bolton: ‘Things look gloomy; do your work 7" ‘Witness did not remember the entire telegram, Dut did not think ft contained anything more than. that “things Jooked mixed;” was not itive that: he did not send such a telegram. Witness also sent a telegram to a negro at Grahalll polling place, telling that the result was doubtful in Brenham} did not believe he told the negro to do his work. Witness could only remember sending these two telegrams, but sent a number of telephonic mes- sages. THE BRENHAM INDIGNALION MEETING. ‘Witness attended the Brenham indignation meeting, and made a speech, in which he declared that if certain white republicans had incited the ne to riot and had proposed to arm them, they ought to be expelled from the county. "That speech was made on the heels of the killing of Bolton, and it was generally reported and Deulewsa that, Bolton was shot, down by negroes. at 12 Some of the men ‘In his speech, witness Bafd, were “notoriously bad characters.” " Witness igsuéd a commitment tor the who were arrested. He swore that he did not know the men who hanged them, and did not know the men who raided the ballot boxes. ‘On cross-examination witness Said the people's movement was organized by republican and demo- cratic citizens to rid the county of a set of om- clals who for years had been guilty of maladmin- istration. It was, he said, a question as to whether citizens should sacrifice thelr property and move away or rid themselves of dishonest officials. In 2884 the people's movement was organized, and its ticket was elected. Many negroes voted ‘for wit- ness. The white republicans last year resorted to desperate measures to recover political possession of the county, feeling that if they were beaten at that election they could never recover their power. Judge Kirk said the report and belief was thatthe megroes were advised to go around to the polls,and that they shot Bolton down. He referred to an article in Schultze’s German paper, which tended to confirm that belief, as that Was a republican paper,and it stated that to protect themselves the n stationed armed guards around the polls, and that Bolton was shot down by one of these guards. The witness said there was a general Condition of public excitement. There were numer- ous anonymous, threatening letters sent. He got one and he knew of numerous others. Witness juced the letter sent to him, which accused im of being the instigator of strife and informed him that he would be KILLED WITHOUT MERCY. One of the letters read was sent to Sloan, a negro, and the writer said: “We have got two of the democratic chickens,” and named Sloan as the next game they wanted. Witness sald that a few gays prior to the receipt of that letter, two brothers named-Hopkins were killed by a ‘negro named Dan Nelson, The two who were killed had supported the yple’s ticket, and the negro who did “the shooting was an detive republican.
