Coroner ' M.J .nanus impanelled a jury today to hold an inquest upon the body of Alex Halliday, killed by a volley from the deputies in the attempt to storm the Jail. A postmortem examina tion on Halllday's body showed that death had been practically install taneous from a severed jugular vein and spinal cord. This had mitigated the criticisms of the sheriff, who prevented anyone from approaching Halliday where he lay four hours In the snow. It was thought for a time that exposure con tributed to his death.

SENATOR TILLMAN SLIGHT Y' IMPROVED ( By Leased Wire to Tile Times) AV'ashingtnn, Feb. 19 Senator B. R. fillmun rested quietly last night and theie are indications this morning of a, slight improvement last night in his ondition, though he was .'till uncon hcIous at 9 o'clock this morning. The senator's right side is almost wholly paralyzed, and aphasia has de veloped as a result of a cerebral hem orrhage on the loft side of the brain. He has nearly lost the power of arti- ulatlon, and this is regarded by the doctor as the most serious symptom of the South Carolinian's illness. He may recover from the paralysis. but. in all likelihood, it is said, he never will regain complete power of peech, the senator's dearest and most cherished weapon in bis public service, and the keen edge of which has en livened itianv debaters of Union-wide interest in congress. Phis Is the second stroke of paraly Is to seize the southern senator, the first having occurred nearly two years ago, when he suffered a nervous break down. At that time he was treated it an Atlanta Sanitarium, and iter took a trip to Europe for the benefit of his health. Dr. Pickford at noon issued the following bulletin: 'Senator Tillman is resting com fortably this morning. Has passed most satisfactory night. ' Paralysis and aphasia unchanged.

J Feb. 19 Wil Ham and Orvls Seyler, who were trailed to Petersburg, Va., and ar rested in connection with the death of Jane Adams on the million dollar pier, underwent an all night third degree examination at the hands of the police here and today the broth ers were on the verge of a collapse. William Seyler, who is accused of having killed Miss Adams, while his brother is being held as an accessory- displayed great nerve during the ex amination. He clung steadfastly to the story he told when first arrest ed. This was a denial that he was with Miss Adams on the evening she met her death.

While the accused man was under going the third degree, she hurried to headquarters. Timidly she asked permission to see him. When told that she would not he allowed access to him, she appeared on the point of breaking down. "This is cruel," she cried. Although told that it might be a day or two before she could embrace her husband, the courageous woman stood at her post, hoping hour after hour that the order would be rescind ed. Time and time again she jumped to her feet as high pitched voices came from the examination chamber and the ordeal appeared to tell as much on her as it could on her hus band.
