Some Reasons Why Bm1ord Didn't Meet
HIS Fatc Promptly o., tho Assassination
Of Judge Elliott.
Frankfort Special to Louisville Courier
Journal.
When Tom Buford firod the shot that
took the life of member of the supreme
court of the commonwealth of Kentucky,
and fired the shot because of an official act
of that judicial officer, all Frankfort, to use
the words of a distinguished citizen, was
"paralyzsd" by the enormity of the deed and
the manner of it's accomplishment. TO that
mental shock of the public mind and the
prompt act of an officer in hurrying the as
sassin to jail, Tom Buford probably owes
the continuance of miserable existence.
Had one voice broken the spell by calling
for vengeance, spontaneous outburst of
passion would have led to the tearing asunder
of the cold-blooded murderer, and to the
scattering of his carcass as food for dogs.
Happily for the already outraged law, when
the reaction came the criminal was beyond
the reach of an unorganized fury, and cooler
heads we're taking precautions to thwart any
plans of a concerted assault. Quick, as
though fire-bells had called them, an excited
throng of angry people poured into and filled
up st. Clair street, in the nelghborhood of
the jail, and while there we're but few open
threats made, it required but casual OBJ
server to read in eyes too hot for tears the
one wish of the people. County Judge
Thompson ordered Sheriff Williams ian old
school-mate and lifelong friend of the MUIR
dered man) to summon q posse for the pro-
lection of the murderer, and when darkness,
under whose cover mobs, like over beasts of
IL oh
over the scene and passion became rampant,
Gov. McCreary mingled with the mass, and
with earnest appeals and sober reasoning
sought to dissuade them from their purpose
of vindicating the law by lawless means.
There were no noisy demonstrations, the
Governor being accorded a respectful atten-
ton and courteous treatment. The coolest
heads considered the precautions taken suf-
fcient to prevent any attempt at violence,
but the Governor, in the abundance of his
caution, had instructed the peace officers to
call for the militia if there was any donbt
about the matter and soon after dark the
call was made, and thirty-fve members Of
the McCreary guards, under the command OF
Capt. Ed. Taylor, were Stationed around the
Jail. This action on the part of the author
tiles elected some unfavorable comment, but
severe storm of wind and rain came up
about 9 o'clock, and the crowd scattered to
collect no more. At no time could the as
semblage properly be termed mob, but the
friction of 80 many excited minds, if allowed
to continue uninterrupted, would have
worked up frenzy disastrous In the end
Under the aggravating circumstances attend
Ing this most unprovoked and, considering
its deleterious effects upon the interests Of
the people of the whole State, most disas-
trous crime in the annals of the American
people, the citizens of Frankfort deserve
much credit for the forbearance and self
control which saved them and this State an
other stain.

"The Cochrane patentees say that they
mean to carry it up to the supreme court;
that their only weak point is about the reis-
sue of the patent, and that they will have
stronger counsel than before. You can inn
agine how much the millers have saved when
you conceive the enormous number of bar
rels of -four ground in this country and the
infinite mass of middlings, hitherto refused
and used for horse-feed, which, by the
amended methods. become superfne -four"
"What were the points of the decision?'' p
Gail the judges concurred. Judge Dillon
boiled his conclusions down in these words:
The idea of Mr.. Cochrane was the use of
the blast in the reels as an aid in the mere
process of boiling, with the view of obtain
ing an increased quantity of choice -four,
and not for the production of purified mid
dlings. The reissued patent having been
expanded to embrace o claim for purifying
middlings, when no such process was de-
scribed, suggested or claimed in the original
patent, it ,s void"
Judge Nelson expressed the same idea IN
these words: 'sThe actual invention OF
Cochrane has been enlarged by the addition
of new matter in the reissue, 80 that when
the two patents are compared the extension
is apparent. The new patent is not for the
same invention secured and embraced in the
original letters patent"
Judge Treat at length discussed the two
methods and said of the case already decid-
ed against Welch by the supreme court: s'1f
an appeal is taken, that court will have be-
fore it in this suit the large amount of new
evidence introduced; in the light of which
it can determine for itself whether it will
| review it's former opinion or not"
