Henry, in an interview to-day, referred
10 Mrs ScoYille's statement that she did
not go to him and ask her husbands
protection, and said: "She came into
my office with bundle of letters, and
said her husband was in danger. told
her ] did not think any one would hurt
him, but if he did need a guard had
no men at my command to furnish it.
She said she did not want guards
stationed at the house. She said she
had seen Major Brock and failed to get
any satisfaction and came to me, and
when / told her could not furnish a
guard, she said she would see Justice
Carter, she wanted the authorities to be
warned and on the lookout to prevent

ain what other way has she CON-
planned ?'
"WelI, she says the whole country is
against her brother, and the government,
with its boards ofmoney, is doing all that
is possible to hang him. At the same
time she is pushing down in her pocket
two hundred dollars of government mon

here to testify for her brother. She don't
think how much money the government
is paying out to let the man have fair
trial.

What do you think of the idea of put

: II think he should have been put
there long ago. If I had my way he
would be there, and I would take the
guard away from around him and move
the ladies from that locality, and let the
