On the other hand it was commended

determined the question whether thew

Evansville, .4rk. Jan. 2, 1910.
Mr.. Ed ToR:--Perhaps you of the cold
and snow clad north, would not be un-
willing to know the truth relative to those
serious difficulties which the people of
Arkansas have, and to some extent, are
still suffering. Rumor with her hundred
tongues has circulated many false state.
ments relative to the murder of the Wught
family at Cane Hill, in June last, and
the execution Of three men charged with
being engaged with it. The following
are the facts, viz:
William G. Wright emigrated from
Alabama to this country in 1880, and set
tied with his family at Cane Hill. He
was poor-had large and helpless fami.
ly altogether dependent on his exertions
for support-he was boot and shoe ma.
ker, and worked necessarily at his trade.
In the course of a few years, by un,irinp
industry, enterprise and economy. he ac-
CURED property to the amount of several
thousand dollars. 1t was believed by the
neightors last spring and early in the
summer, that Mr.. Wrigh, had large sum
Of money by him. On The 18th of June,
a grocer named Barnes, came to bur-
chase some bacon Of Mr. W., though that
article was to be had much nearer: and
Mr. w. asked "why he came SO far?"-
Barnes replied, shat he knew his (W'sl
bacon to be good. Barnes INQUIRED Of
Mr. w. how much bacon he had Sold
how much flour he had sent to the, Fort
and whether he had made large collec-
tons, endeavoring. as now appears. to as.
certain whether Mr. w. had large sum
Of money in the house. On the next
day evening, being Saturday 18th Of June
last, Mr. W. came in from laboring on his
