Chesterfield, April 10.?Interest is unabated in the Cassie Loan murder case. The testimony ol Tom Steen was a great disap pointment. Steen had been in jail as an accomplice. When it was known that he intended to turn State's evidence, it was expected that he would throw a flood of light on the dark tragedy. It is believed that he has not told thn wlloln truth hut fnlrt onrimrli as he hopes, (o save his neck. The defendant's counsel are jubi lunt over the barreness of his les timony. It is known that there was consternation in camp on the i evening when it was known that Stcen had turned State's evidence. But the defense is not quite hap pv, for Ben Jackson has not yet ' testified. He also was arrested after the coroner's inquest and has been in jail since, but the solicitor did not hand out any bill against him, and can use him as a witness. What arrows are in his quiver is not yet known, but his testimony is expected to be very damaging. One of the attorneys for the defense said tonight that unless the State strengthened its case very much tomorrow they would not feel it necessary to put up any testimony; that the State's case as yet only amounted to sus picion. He said further that, he believed the jury would regard their only theory as the reosona b!e one, which is that Cassie Boan was by the camp fire in a etate of beast Iv intoxication, caught tire and was not aroused until the flames had covered her; that in her frenzy trying to cut away her blazing garments with a pair of scissors, she had slashed her body. Peter Campbell, a substantial farmer and good citizen of that neighborhood, look the stand. He was arou?ed about daylight of the fateful morning by Dosey Jack son, brother of Harvey Jackson, accompanied by John Jackson, one of the defendants, and Abb Kirkley, who informed liirn that a woman was burned to death <1 *\uri? 1 ? f ho > 1-1'% Urvnfo ??o<l to go at once to the scene. They I lost the direction, but, guided by I what witness described as a ' squealing sound between a ho) ' low and a-cry, they came upon the spot. The description which 1 the witness gave of what had ( once been comely Cassie ttoan is too horrible to pen. The body, j nude and burned beyond resem | bianco to human form, la}* writh { ing and moaning on the ground I wilh four great gapping gashes I upoti it. There was one slash ' from above the right hip around the pelvic region, another from ! left going toward pelvic region and from elbow of left arm ex tending up to the arm pit, anoth er on the right arm After throw ing a quilt over her witness | stooped down and asked her who , she was an<l what was the cause | of her condition. -She could un durstand nothing, and he only < heard her say "Oh, lx>rd!" In 1 searching for a c'.ue witness found ' crossing a little swamp nearby, { the tracks of two men, one wear ing pointed toe shoes, the other a blunt toe shoe, and a woman's , track. This trail led into an is land, here they found that the < party had stopped. By the side of a log lie found the remains of a package of snuff and a page from a dit e novel. Bringing Cassie Roan's shoes they fitted the woman's track precisely* The men's tracks were identified as - c a i r a _ f r IIIOSO CM UIO (U'lOIHIillMH. IjpUII further examination a trail of three men and one woman leav1 ? ing the inland. Was that track of the third man that of Tom Steen? This third track wan noon lost, and the two men's tracks and tho womnn'g were followed through the rough woods within a fewhundred yards of the ?cene. lack Boan, the Uncle of Cassia Boan, was next examined. The witness bore strong evidence of hiB Indian ancestry. The family is said to have desceuded Irotn the Oheraw Indians with white blood. Tbey are known in some localities as the Red Bone people. 11 His testimony was not so import- c ant. He had in his possession jj some of the belongings of Oassie, found on the scene, a pocketbouk containing some 22 caiibre carl* b ridges and a little pistol. He tes- (] tilled that when he saw Cassie on r Sunday morning she had $4, two whole dollars and four halves. 11 This money has not been since t seen. He denied having made t threats against her. Hi also join ed with Mr. Campbell in trailing, * no doubt aided by his Inidan t blood. ^ J. F. Dabney searched for tracks and found traca of two men and one woman along a v road, saw them where tbey turned r out of the road and started iu the direction of the scene. He corroborated Campbell's testimony in 11 many particulars. In examimug 1; the grounds witness uoticed close c by the path the buruing woman . took a small oak Itmh Oi? J1 oak tree hung a piece ot human u tkiu scorched. Witness saw the \ scissors which had been picked up and placed ou a log. The scissors were abouieeveu luches long. Had no sign ot blood on them ; tl they seemed to have been smoked T and had a gummy substance on them. ,l John Munti testified that Har- n vey Jackson told him he and n John had taken $5 from Oassie a Boan some time betore that and that she did uot know of it. He testified that John and Harvey n had on shoes at the scene that r, would make tracks like thoRe that st parties had been tracing. P. T. Miles looked for tracks w and found the trail other witness- a 98 had described, but he noticed that the pants of the wearer of the pointed toed shoes would (>1 weep the sand and make its im h print at the heel of the shoe, p When he came back to where the body was he noticed the same w peculiarity about John Jackson's O! pants. He also testified to the re- ti lemolance of John's tracks to that of one of the tracks he had been trailing. v' Peter Campbell was recalled to V the stand and testified that alter n lookine for tracks he observed the shoes worn by John and Har- S< rey Jackson and stated in as it l Iron tr turma us ?hu i-n 1" " "' - ' ? O " " " ?.u " ?" ' 1 fence would allow thatthoy were the oame shoes he had been trac[off. Miss Rosa Ann Boan, recalled, testified that three weeks before y< Jassie was killed she heard Har- a| vuy say he would take her life or die take his or he would take j lomebody else's life before August. George Boan, father of Gasaie, Q identified the little pistol as Gas ^ lie's ; said that he had seen her ( with it Saturday and Sunday. 1( Coroner'.i. L. VVuouwaru y :ied that he had got the pistol b rrom Uarvey Jackson's wife as n being the one that Harvey b brought them. 8} bam Woodward, recalled, said that.
