Anderson on Thursday. Cdlonel J. S. James, attorney for the heirs, kaid Tuesday that recent investigations had revealed to him more conclusive evidence of a plot between Mrs. Crawford and Lumb than he had possessed before.

Lumb. answering to a statement of interrogatories, has categorically de nied all of the charges made against himself and Mrs. Crawford. He maintains that he knew Mrs. Crawford only casually in St. Augus tine and that the only time he ever saw Joshua Crawford was one day when one of the persons about the hotel asked him to go up to one of the rooms and assist in dressing an old man.
