thorities, fully armed and having a State
sheriff accompany them as body guard or
guard Of honor. They had no fear Of the
court They had no fear Of conviction.
They well knew that they had assassipated
all the principal witnesses against them In
the conspiracy case and so ntimidated the
rest that there could be no danger of a con-
viction even if jury could be found that
would dare to convict such band Of des-
peradoes. But let us follow this farce to
the end:
In due time they appeared before tho court
and remained In Jackson during the trial two
days, going and coming rs they pleased with.
out the least restraint being exercised over
them. Accused and witnesses for both the
prosecution and defense mingled freely to-
gether during their forced ~ visit TO the CAPT
tai, and, to use a storcotyped expression, the
utmost harmony and good feeling prevailed.
The defendants were promptly acquitted in
the United States court, as every one who
knew anything about the matter supposed
they would be, because of the inability Of the
Government to prove n conspiracy covered by
the statute upon which the indictments were
based.
1t will be seen that the very trial of the
accused was sort of ovation. There was
no restraint, no degradation, no approbrium,
no public scandal no moral condemnation
even, apparently, attached to the red-handed
crimes Of these men, as they staggered
around the State capital fully armed FOL
their protection before the United States
court They were acquitted OF course
they were Dead men tell no tales. They
do not testify in the courts of the State OF
of the United States. And now these mer

This is allowed in Difference to the senti
ments OF "our people" 1t is done because
'our young men" will have 1t so, and 1--WE
cannot always restrain our hot-headed
young men," But the Times says:
1t is not this acquittal that gives rise to seri
Gus apprchensions concerning the future o.
the commonwealth. And we have hitherto
remarked the precedent attempted to be es
tablished Is a dangerous one and IL the prac
tice inaugurated by the sheriff of Kempei
County is to obtain throughout Mississippi
our courts OF justice may as well be abolished
at once and the maintenance Of county Jail
ostensibly for the confinement of alleged Grim

No doubt the Times is right in this con

propose? Here it Isl
1t Is sincerely to be hoped that Governor
STONE who we believe TO be an earnest an(
sincere advocate of law and order, will recon
mend to the Legislature the passage of law
adequate to the emergency. That the Legis
laturc will consider such recommendations ia.
vorably we do not question.
Why more law? You have taken no ex

acy of mob law that threatens the peace O
