crime was hanged nt 12:30 o'clock yes-
terday In tho presence of ft largo
crowd of people Ho illwl stolidly
making no statement that will aid In
clearing the mystery of the killing.
Story of the Crime.
Powell was convicted nt the Decem-
ber term of the Victoria district court
and given the death epnnlty. The caso
was appealed to the criminal court of
nppeals which hody took action with-
in a couple of weeks and affirmed the
action of tho lower court

his doom wns built within the jail
yard.
Mrs. A? J. Copdlft and her four chil-
dren were murdered In broad daylight.
Thep wero horribly butchered. She
and two of the children were killed In
tho home while two little boys. 10
and 11 years of age. were killed while
at work building a fence a short dis-
tance from the house.
The father was about seven miles
away Irom home working at a rice
threshing machine. Monk Gibson a
diminutive negro age about 16 and
probably nearer 20 was nt work on the
place plowing near the honse.
He was arrested for the murder on
the ground that he had blood on his
clothes nn'd because he told conflicting
stories and his escape and the ten
days' search for him are all familiar
to the reading public as well as his
trial whch resulted In a hung jury In
San Antonio where the case wns re-
moved on a change of venue.
At that trial Felix Powell was one
of tho main prosecuting witnesses as
was Harry Howard another negro ar-
rested for complicity In tho crime but
who has not as yet been gtvtitt aftrlal.
The prosecution at that trial attemp-
ted to prove that Monk Gibson wan
the sole perpetrator of the crime not-
withstanding the elements which en
tered in and which made this an al
most physical -impossibility because of
the negro's size. In" order to remove
-all doubt as to tho guilt of only Gib
son and In order to removes a. suspi-
cion that Felix Powell and Henry How-
ard were conectetl with the crjme the
prosecution went further and attempt
ed to establish alibis for Powell and
Jg.owardl'fire resuR was that the jury
rt'trWrefused to agree and a mistrial was de-
--Follow McDonald's Adi Ice
Captain of Rangers Bill McDonald
who is now state revenue officer In-
formed the state's officials that they
would never succeed In convicting Gib-
son as anything but an accessory and
that Felix Powell nnd Henry Howard
were the main instigators.
After the trial In San Antonio Mc-
Donald was sent to Edna by the gov-
ernor and he worked for months on
the case gathering clew after clew and
putting pieces of evidence together. Ho
flnnlly arersted Powell Howard and a
number of negro women. It was the
belief that thenogro women had guilty
knowledge of the crime and they wore
Indicted a3 accessories after the fact
while Indictments were returned
against Powell and Howard for the
murders and new Indictments returned
against Monk Gibson and he was
brought back from San Antonio 'the
caso there against him being dismiss-
ed. Get Change of Venue.
The cases were then taken to Vic-
toria on a change of venuer and Powell
was placed on trial at the December
terra of the- court. Tide evidence se-
ctored by Captain McDonald who was
assjted by Sheriff Egg of Jnckson
county and by County Attornoy Guy
Mitchell was sufficient when placed in
the binds of AUorney X V. Vnnder-
berge of Victoria o convict Powelhl
Mr Vanderborgo was retained to espe-
cially pcouocutQ tho case and though
there was nblo counsel npoplnted for

Mr. Fjyjmado n Jinrd jlglk imUlId.nll
he could "as an attornoy to 8a vo Pow-
ell tho evidence was too conclusive.
Monk Gibson wrlj'bo tried at the
May term of tho court and the evi-
dence will b9 the same ns that given
at tho trial of Powell. There U no
doubt In the minds of those who kept
up wltlt this ovldence but that Gibson
wJU bo cojtvlcted The caso against
Howard Is not so . strong as that
against Fowell pr Gibson and It Is not
likely that his caseor that against the
negro women wllf'bo hold until the
fall term.

PUTTING TAX PAYERS
UP 15 THE
AIR.
The average tax payer Is up in tho
air at this time and wondering just
what Is going to hit him from tho di-
rection of Austin. If he is In any mnn-
her connected with a corporation he
has an apprehension that tho tax gath-
erers of the state are dstermlned to
practically tax him out of existence so
drastic Is the tendency manifested In
the able bodied effort being made to
provide more state revenue. ThB stnte
has set Its net apparently to thorough-
ly skin everything with which it
comes in contact and so marked is
this tendency that it U ecn proposed
to plnce a tax on the gross receipts
of newspapers conducted by a corpo-
ration with ;i rapltnl stock in excess
of $10000.
And a more manifestly unfair and
unjust proposition '"as never concoc-
ted in a scheme to raise revenue.
There are newspapers in Texas which
struggle along lor years in an effort
to place themselves "n a' paying basis.
The volume of business done by such
paperS'ls very large in somo instances
butnpt yet equnl to the expense ac-
count When the state levies a big
tax on the gross receipts of such news-
papers It Is perpetrating an Infamy
that practically amounts to conflscn-
tion for it makes it impossible for
such papers to continue in business.
'And so it mo'st'lfe vltli other corpora-
tions and Interests btruggling to build
up in many llocalities.
I A tax on the not receipts wluld be
more equitable If the stateTeels that
it must have more blood money But
.this thing of taxing gross receipts Is
too much like going after something
that is not in existence. But this is
not all. There are some more interest-
ing developments at Austin In connec-
tion with taxation matters. While the
legislature is setting its net for the
taxpayer in the most unusual manner
the governor has put a man in charge
of the revenue office who Is going to
make n whole lot of trouble for those
individuals who' have been Just a little
bit careless In the matter of tax ren-
ditions. The following Is self-explanatory:
Austin Texas March 29 1907.
To tho Tax 'Assessors of Texas:
You are dlrected-to gtvo notice to
taxpayers In your respective counties
to call and correct their assessments
and give in any money and notes or
other proporty not heretofore given

not dO this you will ask the commis-
sions court to place the proper valua-
tion on same. W. J. McDONALD.
