They borrowed a lantern from him and told him they were going in the direction of the Crow home, which was about two miles away. Susie Collins, wife of Ed Collins, tes tified that Knox, on the night the gir' was attacked, returned to their home and confessed the crime, threatening t< kill them if they told what had trans pired.

Five men were excused, at the request of the de fense, because they are more than 60 years old.

Sheriff Reid this morning received a telephone message from Atlanta to the effect that it was reported 1,000 rounds of ammunition was en route to Cum ming. He declined to give the source of his information. The sheriff says he does not believe this report is true, but is making arrangements to inter cept any such shipment should it be en route. Court convened at 9 o'clock this morning under protection of a battal ion of national guard from Atlanta. Major Catron has 24 men stationed in the court room, while squads are on duty in the corridors, on the stairways, in the court house yard and around the fence surrounding the building. Other soldiers are patrolling the streets of the town, while a reserve force is held in readiness to move at a moment’s no tice, should there be any demonstra tion. This morning 2.000 persons had come into town from the surrounding coun try and they continued to arrive in large numbers every hour. It is esti mated that fully 3.000 outsiders arc here this afternoon. Strict Martial Law. Martial law of the strictest ordei prevails here today. The fence around the court house is the dead line. Sen tries are stationed every few feet around the inclosure, with loaded rifles, ready to shoot any who attempt to en ter the yard without proper authority. None is admitted except through the south gate. Those must have written passes, issued by Judge Newt Morris, of the superior court, and. countersigned by the military commander here. These passes are issued only to court officers, attorneys, newspaper correspondents, talesmen summoned for jury servlet, witnesses and a few prominent citizens for whom Judge Morris would person ally vouch. In the court room none is admitted within the railing except the prisoners, attorneys and correspond ents. The soldiers arrived in town with the p i-oner> at 6:30 o'clock this morning I lie prisoners were immediately taken to the eouVt mom and guards were stationed in and around the building Fulton Blues at Cumming to guard negro prisoners from mob. The large picture shows a detail taking it easy on guard; the other, how one of the lyoys keeps vigil at a prison window. By 7 o'clock fully 1,000 persons were on the streets, principally around the court house square. Up to the hour court convened there had been no demonstration on the part of the crowd. Sheriff Reid, however, said he feared there might be trouble before the day is over, because of the big crowd in town and the intense feel ing that has been manifest over the crimes for which the negroes are facing trial. Camped Outside Cumming. The military arrived on the outskirts of Cumming at 7 o’clock last night from Buford and went Into camp one mile south of town. Picket lines were thrown about the camp and none ex cept Judge Morris, Sheriff Reid and attorneys for the negroes was admitted within the lines. Judge Morris and Sheriff Reid conferred with the mili tary officers over today’s arrangements, while the attorneys talked with the prisoners to outline their defense.

LONDON, Oct. 3.—Revelations deal ing with the smoking of “hashish,” a vice- which is said to lead to lunacy, have been made by A. Lucas, director of laboratories in the survey depart ment at Cairo, who read a paper on the subject before the Cairo Scientific so ciety, entitled "Confessions of a Hash ish Smoker.” He declared that the use of the drug rapidly is increasing in Europe and America. "Hashish originally comes from Greece," said Mr. Lucas, “where hemp is grown for that purpose. Its intoxicating and narcotic properties are no modern discovery, however, for there are references to it in Herodotus, who records that the Scythians burned the seeds of hemp during the purifica tion ceremonies that took place after death, and that they became intoxi cated by the fumes. Drug Taken in Many Ways. “In the 'Confessions of a Hashish Smoker’ the statement is made that the drug is often taken in cigarettes. But it can be indulged in in other ways. The hashish is either powdered or in fused in cold water, resulting in a tur bid liquid, or ft is ground up in water or milk, to which is added pepper, sug ar or spice. It is also boiled in a pow dered form and taken hot. Tn Egypt and Turkey it is taken in sweetmeats and confections, prepared with sugar, honey and molasses. “Very often it Is smoked in pipes, and excessive smokers to whom the simple drug no longer appeals add such ingre dients as opium, arsenic, nux-vomica or datura seeds. “It is Interesting to note, in passing, that our word ‘assassin’ conies from the Arabic ’hashish,’ the plural of which is ‘hashasheen.’ "The latter name was given to a fa natical Moslem tribe of Carpathians who flourished in the eleventh century under a chief called ‘The Old Man of the Mountain,’ whose stronghoid was Mount Lebanon. This band was the terror of the world for nearly 200 years, and devoted Itself to murdering secret ly or by surprise all the enemies of th” Moslem faith. "Before perpetrating any of their bloody deeds they fortified themselves by drinking or eating a preparation of ’hashish.’ It Is easy to see how ‘as sassin’ replaced the original word ‘hashasheen.’ and how ‘assassin’ came to be applied to any one who killed by secret assault. Gives Joy and Appetite. “The first effect of hashish is to pro duce cheerfulness and an abundant ap petite. A small dose produces gayety, a larger one hallucinations, delirium and sometimes catalepsy. An average dose induces a dreamy state, when the victim becomes the sport of rapidly shifting ideas. One can never mistake the habitual ‘hashasheen.’ ” 5
