WASHINGTON, July Postmaster
Taft, of Charleston, arrived to-day
from South Carolina. He says the
evidence is overwhelming showing
that tn killing of Blair at Camden,
last Tuesday, was political assassi-
nation. AS soon as Blair was killed
the friends of Halle, the murderer,
took possession of his body. A post
mortem was held, and Halle was
brought before the Judge and liber
ated on $500 bail. The law requires
the prosecution to be notified, and to
be present whenever there is applica
ton made for bail under suspicious
circumstances, as those of this case.
He was not notified. Judge Kersher
admitted Halle to bail, as he is rela
tive of the latter.
ST. LOUIS, July 1.-Two hundred
and fifty Russian exiles, who arrived
here yesterday morning, are being
cared for by a local commissioner.
All are destitute. Some of theIl tell
terrible stories of their treatment in
their native land. One old man said:
1.-TWO months ago l saw my own
daughter, a girl Is years old, taken
by the mob and outraged so that at
night she died. Other women of our
family were at the sport of the mob
for hours. My brothers wife, a
young woman of 20, was outraged
and then whipped to death by a
drunken crowd of devils. So with
every family. You can't find one in
the house who has not lost some one.
They spared neither old nor young.
Those ten or twelve years old were
treated as badly as those much older.
People in the villages suffered most.
No police ever pretended to help the
Jews. Women were carried out into
the fields, stripped naked and burnt.
Old men had their boards pulled out
and then thrown alive into priyy
vaults to stihe. Young girls We're
branded and SCARED with red hot
irons. Everything that drunken
brutes could think of was done to
torture our people"
