1t is regrettable that the State OF
Mississippi will not, and the United
States cannot, bring the murderers ot
Judge Chisolm and his children tO
trial for the fearful crime, but they are
to be summoned before bar of jus-
tice for the lesser offence of conspiracy

fred into on several occasions, and
himself driven to the woods. The

dicted under the Enforcement act, but

was shot down, with his family around
him.s Nowsthec conspiracy cases have
