DIDN'T KNOW THEIR ILANS. But Advised Them Against Murder, lie Explains the Fatal Telegram, Dicus Said Ross Knew Where Annie Skelton was. Huntsville, Ala., July s.—Upon the convening of court this morn ing the defendant Judge Talley, was placed on the stand and his examination consumed most of the day. He made asb a ght.torward state ment, acquitted himsel f most cred itably and on cross-examination failed to weaken in any material point his statement. He went in to the details of where he was in January and up to Febuary 'he 4 h He to'd where he held court when he came home and why. He declared that there was any understand ng betwee himself and the Saelt-ms that ne wa- to be telegraphed for whil e away from home. He never knew f J I or heard that the Skeltons intend ed ai y violence to Ross until atte r they had left Scottsboro on Febu ary 4' h. The first intimation he ever had o: lb ->s s relations with Annie Skelton was on January 4th. Two days late l lie a-ked Bob about it and read the letters Bob had from Ross to Annie- They agr- ed the plan to be pursued was to get Annie home, h t Itoss go I away to prevent publicity of the scandal and save the life of her old mother. In this conversation Dave Skelton was present, He spoke of killing Roes but the judge never saw Dave again until after the killing. This was the only time violence to Ross was evei mentioned by the Skeltons to his knowledge. On February 3rd he again saw Bob and discussed away to find out where Aunie was and agreed to gjt Brown Ross’s attorney, or Dr* Roreax. his family physician to see Ross and fimi out. He saw Bob Sunday morning about S o’clock on horseback. The judge asKed him. twice where he was going. Bob would only say “up the read.” Alter the boys had be°n gone some time Mrs Tally told him what was up and that was the first time he knew it. His wife sent their son to the stable for a horse. The boy John did th v without his know edge or without any intimation to him whatever. Judge Talley then told aii about going to the te egr eph office an 1 the conversation with Dr. Roreax and Judge Bridges, and while ha did not recollect what passed ex actly as they detailed, for they might renumber better, owing to his trouble and great mental strain at that time, he did remember say ing to Roreax, ‘T am so broken up I dont know what to do.” He was alarmed for his brother in-law and sent a telegram to HudlestoD, knowing be was mayor and to have Ross arrested, believ ing if Ross was advised of the Skeltons coming, the Ross party, if they got to Stevenson first, would place themselves in posi lion to kill the Skeltons as they came up. The judge said he could not tell why he used the language he did. He saw afterwards that it was not such as he should have used and he went back to change it, but the operator had gone. He used the words, “say nothing” to pre vent publicity of the scandal and to avoid trouble with the Skelton boys by his interference. He went to the telegraph office after the killing, he said, to get the address of Sinclair Randall, of the Conser vatory of Music, Cincinnati, who had previously telegraphed him GUARANTEED LARGEST SIZE MADE c that Annie was there. Gooch Dicus, a brother Odd Fel low of Ross, wnet to the latter’s house Friday afternoou before the killing at Ross’s request. Ross wanted Dicus to get his withdrawal card which he was to do the n< xt Monday night and see him on Tuesday. Ross asked Di cus what the people said as to where Annie Skelton was. Dicus told him some said she was in Sjotflpboro with the Skeltons aid some said Rost had her somewhere Ross replied that the Skeltons did not know where she was but he knew. Ross added that he would see her again. Dicus advised him to stop or the Skelton boys would kill him. Ross replied “Iu was worth the risk . ’’ Jim Skelton, seeing Dicus w t Ross, asked him on Saturday i ight if Ross told him where Annie was. Di (jus said that Ross did not, but R «s ->a d he knew and would see her again Dicus said he was afraid of both Ross and the Skeltons. KLOSTER OF BULL’S EYE SHOTS. Mayor John D.
