The Columbus, Ga. Enquirer of the eiph-
teenth instant, gives the evidence elected in
the trial of Kate Sothern. It differs entirely
from the sensational reports that have been
published, and shows that there was but little
in the circumstances connected with the crime
To justify the sympathy that has been aroused
Tor Mrs. Sothern, or the romantic interest Of
which she is the central figure. The whole
aifair seems to have been fight between
three women, in which Kate Sothern
and her sister combined on the Cow
art woman, who was killed in the melee.
The, evidence shows that the men
looked on and no effort to separate them was
made. There is no truth in the incident re-
lated Of Bob Sothern forcing his way with
his wife through the crowd. pistol in hand.
They are all represented to be extremely ig-
norant people. and it is even said that the
parties surrendered themselves to get the re
ward offered for their apprehension, and that
the understanding was that Hates mother
was to get $50 of it. Kate Sothern herself
says that sthe witnesses swore lies against
her; that she acted in self-defense; that she
cannot dance, and that night at her fathers
was the 'fust time she ever seed a reel run"
The Columbus Enquirer in concluding an
article on the case, says:
Where even fertile fancy could extract
anything Of romance from an atrocious
crime we cannot imagine.
We do not believe there is a single woman |
no matter how warm and sympathetic her |
heart may be, who, after reading this sworn |
testimony, will sign a petition for Kate
Sothern's pardon. Gov. Colquitt did right
He weighed the evidence carefully, and dis

Theirs is something extremely horrible IL
tho revelations In regard to the body-snatch
ers of the Ohio Medical College, brought Out
by the robbing of the grave of John S. Har.
rison.
The horrors of the affair were only intensi-
fled by the reply Of the faculty, published In
the papers, In which the loathsome affair was
sought to be justified by the argument that
the local laws did not afford subjects for dis
section. The Dean of the Faculty has, how
or, stated that the authorities Of the insti-
- i'm had no knowledge of, or completely In.
the robbery Of Mr.. Harrison's grave. This
statement Is not believed by the public, and a
Dr. Newton, of New York, has written a card
70 the Tribune which confirms the popular
belief, In that he says a previous arrange
ment Tor bodies Is always made. In proof of
this custom he says:
There hangs In the Ohio Medical College the
skeleton OF Old Cunningham" the resurrec-
ZIONIST OF that college for a quarter of a cen.

what be says about these men being I'M
scrnpulous scoundrels is true; but then. scoun-
every instance, they will take the bodies and

time there never was allowed in a single In

The Lewiston journal truly says that the cost
OF publishing newspapers was never greater than
now. The decline in materials is more than OFT
.et by the increase CT ,elegraphc and editorial
expenditures upon every live newspaper. In proof
of this, it is only necessary to call attention to
the recent and almost Unprecedented mortality
among new spapeIs. Newspaper publishers have
to pay postage on papers sent irom Their ofhces'
which was formerly psid by subscribers. In fact
there are to- day few newspapers in Maine which
are more than paying expenses. The difficulty OF
making collections, the increased losses and exac-
tions of newspaper readers in the direction of
better newspapers, involving larger expenditure,
have made the past few years season OF especial
,rtship among ne ~spaper publishers. We hum
bly, beg any body who doubts this to START news
paper Of his own.
