Especial Telegram to the Globe.
WATERLOO, Ia, Oct. 81. There promises
to be a judicial investigation into the mat
ter of the hanging OF the Barker boys by
the mob at Waverly in June last. The
Brewer district court convenes in Decern-
Der. The widow of Ike Barber says that
she proposes to see that if possible the
lynchers of her husband shall be brought
to trial and she says she has the names of
eighteen men who were instrumental in
the hanging. 1t was stated to the GLOBE
correspondent by citizens of Waverly
yesterday that the young man who
fastened the rope when Bill Bar
Der was lynched left the country
so me time ago, but it is reported that he
had returned. 1t seems very probable that
the grand jury will find indictments
against those who participated most &C
lively in the lynching. It is claimed that
their conviction will be very doubtful.
Sheriff Adair, who had charge of the Bar
bers when they were lynched, was re-elect-
ed at the late election, ard he was the only
man on the Democratic ticket in chat
county who was elected.
