A THEORY OF THE KELSEY OUTRAGE
District Attorney Wickham. of Suffolk county,
has felt impelled by what he calls misreDre-
sensations Of his views. to give the conclusions
he has reached in regard to the Kelsey out
rage, at Huntington, several years ago. He
has tailed, he says, to receive from residents
OF Huntington any important information de-
signed to be of service to him, and in some
cases is convinced that information was in
tentiOnally withheld and he hints the posi-
DllltN that there is an agreement between the
two parties to shield the actors. He believes
that there were different offences at different
times, and Ivy different actors; and that the
popular idea that certain prominent citizens
planned the tarring and fea.hering. and act
ually committed the greater outrage is a mis-
take: He is apparently inclined to eXOnerate
DR.. Banks and his party from any suspicion
OF participation in either outrage. Mr.. Wick
ham says there is one indictment now pend
ing, but there is no evidence to sustain it and
the time to find a new indictment for any Of
fence short OF murder in the first degree, has
now passed IL believe there may be evidence
tending to show he says, THAT even this
crime was committed to conceal finally the
outrage which had preceded. That outrage
was doubtless a thOughtleSS one. Young men,
possibly boys. were the probable actors in t
"a distinct offence, having very slight con-
nectiOn with the tarring and featherng, but
one which could not be hid otherwise than the
absolute removal of the person. Further,
Mr.. Wickham says: The first act in the
drama was of itself comparatively unimpOr-
tant, and yet the others followed easily and
almost naturally. but without premeditation.''
