I had a conversation with Mr. Plean
a few days after the murder. He told
me about beicg at Max Kobre's with
Sam Kobre, saying that they came
down Liberty street to Fifth, where
they separated, Plean going to his
room. Sam Kobre said that his
brother Henry always had money.

About two weeks after the murder
Sam Kobre told me that' he and Plean
came down Liberty street from Maxi
Kobre's home, walked to the corner
of the municipal building arnd after a
brief conversation separated.
Policeman W. T. Penry.
When I reached the saloon the night

open; I went direct to Henry Kobre-s
room ,and did cot examine any of the

Sallie Stewart.
This woman Is the witness who has.
been detained by the poUce since Sat-
urdav night.- She. said: I know Sam
Kobr'ev Henry Kobre and William
Plean; I will be 17 years old June 15
next; I stayed at Max Kobi-e's about'
two" years ago; I knew a man r.nmed
Wnitbeck well; I saw Henry Kobre
the sight he was killed and I saw
Sam Kobre that afternoon; I saw
Henry at depot the night before he
was killed: it was about 9:30 o'clock
and" I walked up to the posiofflce with

on Wedmsd;iy night following; I have
seen Sam Kobre a few times since the
murder; I saw him about a week and
a half after Wnitbeck made certain
statements to me. Here witness couin
not remember what Sam said to her.

night of the murder; that one of those
place was the brewing company s
place; that another girl was with her;
that Whit beck ws the only man
thWitiess .sid' - that William Plean
clerked In Shapiro s store on Liberty
'Have you said that you did rot
want to testify against the ,-,iefen:
dants?" asked the solicitor. .
'I have, because I liked all the boys
an the family," replied tbe witness.
The- counsel for the defense pro
tested agninst the ' action of the
solicitor in endeavoring to force the
witness to tell about ft conversation
after she had said that she could not
recall tho conversation between" thorn.
Mayor Eatori ruled that as the wit
ness was unwilling to testify he would
permit. the solicitor to proceed. ,,.
What caused! your memory to i
fail?" asked the solicitor. ,
'I was so nervous before I came In
and I am worse now," was the reply.
I!d you not telt Chief Crutchtleld
and- Sergeant Thomas what Whltboclt
told you?" ; , : -
The witness memory failed heri
she couldn't remember anything, ex
cept that she said, while being ex
amined by the solicitor this morning,
that she did not want to tell what she
knew. .v
-I don't remember anything about It
now," was tho favorite expression oi
tho wltricsa every time the solicitor
applied a question.
Do you eel sorry for Sam?" asked
the solicitor.
. "Yesi. you know I do; I, feel sorry
for anybody In trouble. -
At the suggestion of the solicitor,
the witness said she would- prefer to
have time for reflection, to see If her
memory would not return. At 4:08
Mayor Eaton ordered the witness to
be taken out and given time for rest
and! reflection. The girl said- that this
was the first time she was ever a wlt-
ross in any court. ,
. . Peter Shouse.
Peter Shouse, the mail who wrote
the anonymous communications 'pub
lished in the Journal, testified that
Wm. Plean; was boarding at. his
mother's at the time of the murder;
I saw him next even-leg at supper; he
was very nervous and ecclted. . I
asked him about the -crime and what
he knew about It; he moved: In his
chair to keep from shaking; that
Plearr claimed that Henry Kobre was
not shot, but struck on the head with
a sharp instrument. '
On' cross examination witness was
asked if .he did not write1 to a matri
monial paper and get into trouble
about it. . "I .corresponded with .a
girl," and witness admitted that she
sent Jilm money to go to see her, but
he sent It back to her. Peter also

ARRESTSjVHlfBECK
MAN WHO MAY FIGURE IN
KOBRE MURDER' CASE,
111 Be Brought Here Tonight from
Petersburg, Va. Will Sallie Stewart
Testify Before'. Judge Peebles?
Habeas Corpus Proceedings to Be
Heard Monday. " j. -
From Saturday's Daily. .
J. E. Whltibeck, who ma,x prove' an
'.mportant witness for the prosecution
n the Kobre murder case, was ar
-ested In Petersburg, Va., last evening
nd will be brought here to testify
tell what he knows about the crime.
Chief of Police. Crutchfield sent a
telegram to the chief of police of
Petersburg at C o'clock last evening,
requesting him to have Whitbeck ar
rested and brought to-Winston-Salem.
Two hours later a reply was received
by Chief Crutchfield stating that
Whitbeck had been arrested and that
the prisoner had consented to return
without requisition papers. The mes
sage also said that an officer would
leave with Whitbeck on the first
train.
Caief Crutchfield received a . tele
gram at noon today saying that the
officer In charge of Whitbeck would
leave Richmond, Va., for Winston-Sa-
em at 12:30 this afternoon and arrive
here tonight. Chief Crutchfield will
probably meet the parties "in Greeas
boro this evening. .
Whitbeck, during hla residence in
his city, was manager of the Portner
Brewing Company's branch office and
business is the K. J. Reynolds build
ing on East Third street. ; A day or
two after the murder he made the re
mark In the presence of a responsible
citizen that he could place bis hand
upon the man who killed. Hen-ry Kobre
within an hour. At the time he made
this statement, however, Whitbeck
was badly intoxicated. The matter
was reported to the officers who Inter
viewed the man. He claimed to them
that he knew nothing whatever of the
murder. ,
Whitbeck is the man whom Sallie
Stewart has contended all the .time
gave her the first Information In fact
tho details of the murder.
It is tiaimed by some that If Whit-
bsck made such statement to the
girl he was intoxicated In the same
condition as when he made the re
mark to a citizen that he could place
his hand on the man who did it.
From Tuesday Dall.

Nothing Doing in Baseball Circlet.
The baseball crank seems to have

or at least these fine spring days are
passing without his cry being heard on

school boys have the usual number of
teams and play from mm-np to sun
down, but as for the old baseball
crank those fellows that whoop and
yell and "cuss" the umpire well, they
are diwressingly quiet. Perhaps they

SANTO DOMINGO REVOLUTION.
It Seems That It Will Not Down.
More Fighting During Past Few
Days.
WASHINGTON, March 9. The rev
olution In Santo Domingo will not
town. The navy department this
morning received a dispatch from
Commander Southerland, at Monte
Christ!, stating thnt while the terms
Of surrender, recently negotiated.
were being carried out the revolution
ary leaders violated their promises
and In the ensuing fight two officers,
Including General Copln and six men,
were killed.
The dispatch does riot state whether
those killed wefo revolutionists or
government adiierents. The revolu
'ionists escaped to the bush. This
probably means an indefinite contln
jance of trouble In the northern part
of the republic.
