lie with inform alton. The United States
Marshal is satisfied from the representa-
tions of the police that the object of the OBJ

"They were white mem" he then remarked
"Y0u had better mind how you talk. for
have your testimony IN writing; you wan
to 20 home, and you want to live after yol
get there; he then said: II will be bacl
directly with couple of more men," b
did not remain but q short time, and m,
idea was that he wanted to get the sicl
woman ELIZA Pinkston) out to kill her.
Now let Messrs. Palmer, Julian and thei
Northern confreres report on their return
North that some of their partisan brethren
: here are not content to war on q poo
woman in Ouachita until they almost STAN
and shoot the life out of her, but must eve
/ hound her, shattered and frightened, t
New Orleans, ridicule her woes and assa
her character before the Returning Boar
t and 20 bail for the men she has charge
t with having been implicated in the wanto
!, wrongs dealt to her and hers. Let ex- Go
! ernor Palmer extol this chivalry to IL
D | North, if he can. Perhaps, however b
. instincts of humanity are stronger than b
zeal as a partisan.
