sentenced to be hung, and now await the de-

Jones and Reuben Kendall, are implicated
by Dlrely, and warrants are out for their
arrest A shrewd colored detective has
been employed. for :, a long time on
the case, and he claims to have had
statements from Direly,. in the nature
OF confession, which are corroborated
in several points by scircumstantial evidence
One of these is the finding of a bracelet be-
longing to one of the murdered girls in the
hands OF colored woman, who says she re-
celved it from Direly, and who says he told
her OF the murder and that he found the
bracelet and some money and a ring on the
floor. He gave the ring to another colored
woman, who also has made sworn state
ment that Direly told her it belonged to
one OF the murdered girls. Dire

In Norton's Iron Works near by, and both

Referring to the execution of Whitney by

controversy about Whitney's right to have a

rights, themselves became law-breakers and
criminals. You suggest to me 1.-The propriety

A Summary Of Important Events.
Iron County register. [volume] (Ironton, Iron County, Mo.) 1867-1965, 1883-06-28


THE Ohio State Prohibition Conven-
ton met at Columbus on the 14th. The
principles promulgated indorse the national
platform of Chicago of August last year,
denounce the policy of personal liberty
advanced by the Democrats, and the policy
of taxation in the Scott law, the Pond laws
passed by the Republicans, and the repeal
ing of the Sunday law prohibiting drink
ing on the premises, also by the Republi-
cans; condemn the taxation proposition of
the constitutional amendment and favor
the adoption of a prohibitory clause; re-
cognize the value of the education of youth
in schools against liquor. Ferdinand Schu-
macher, of Summit County, was nominated
for Governor and H. T. Ogden, of Hamil-
ton County, for ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.
The State Convention of the Ohio
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES party, in session at Co
lumbus on the 18th, nominated Charles
Jenkins, of Mahoning, for Governor and
William Baker, of Licking, for Lieutenant
Governor. The platform charges both the
great parties with bribery and corruption
in securing nominations and carrying cleo
tions, with fostering monopolies, and with
extravaganza. 1t demands the abolition of
the national bank system and the submis-
sion of legal tender paper money for the
present currency. 1t demands that the
railroads be required to reduce the present
extortionate rates and favors the postal
telegraph and the restoration to the people
of the public lands recklessly appropriated
to corporations. 1t declares that all men
have the right to part of the land and that
the general prices depend upon the amount
of currency in circulation. 1t demands a
temperance reformation and the abolition
of the convict contract systen
