THE MURDER OF THE mAyBEEs.
The Arrested Tramp Betrays Neither
Chilli nor Fear.

The mystery SUR sntnis the strang-
ling Of Mrs. l. K Msybe+ and Mac
daughter in their barn at Bf"nk VIII. l.
l., on last Saturday evening has Ms UT
been solved. James DOYLE, the Ir lir .
arrssted at Roslyn on Monday, hiss neeb
brought before Mt. May bee, who decl n, ;
that his voice and the murdernt gTe
alike, but, on the other hand, the man
declares his innocence, and showed no
sign of fear or guilt when brought faoe to
faoe with the dead bodies of his victims.
The story told by the young tramp,
Edward Brown, to the effect that Doyle took
him to the barn and showed him the
budies covered with leaves is LOT be-
leved. Brown is half witted and hard
drinker, and appeared in Jamaic; on
Saturday night last at an hour which
made it improbable that he had been in
Brookville at the time Of the murder.
Many people in Queens county begin to
believe tpat the murder MAY have been
committed by some other person Than a
tramp. 1t ia argued that the murderer
was apparently we'll acquainted with
the place where the money and valuables
were kept and knew just how to get
th,,a. He killed Mrs. and Mics May bee,
it aid, because he knew they might
re-, 1ize him, but did not touch the old
ID upon frat entering the house know
his helpless condition and loss of
8 and only struck him when he made
cutlery. The woods toward Oyster
u are full o. negroes, many of whom
al known to be worthless and dangerous
characters. Other brutal Grimes in Long
Island have been perpetfated by people
OF this claaa.

the process. The surveyor goes
ON the premises, hears the testimony OF

and from this obtains the data for making
plots of the premises, which plots are
returned to the court for use at the trial.
The object OF this process, ancient and

Jury at the trial to see by the plot the
exact matter in dispute instead Of by al
actual view of the premises, such as Ii
sometimes ordered. In the lower coun

OUR INDIAN RECORD.

A severe ArrRtRnment Of the Gov
ernnent's Policy Toward the Red
Man.
Furnished by the Indian Association.
Our Government has made hundreds
of treaties with the Indians during tue
last century, and our Constitution ds-
clares that: can trea.ies made under
the authority OF the United States shall
and the judges in every state
shall be bound thereby, anything
In the law or constitution of any
state to the contrary Notwithstanding"
In these treaties the Indian tribes are
uniformly acknowledged TO be "bstions, I"
treaty" indeed being ia compact be-
tween independent communities, each
party acting through the medium Of its
government"
These treaties promise the payment
of annuities due !" that their territories
''shall never be invaded by any indi-
vidual, state, or by the United States, +"
but shall be "psrmanent home" to ire
main theirs forever - that "their
property shall never be taken from them
except In war duly authorized by Con-
gress," and also that education shall be
given to Indian children.
In less than half century we had
broken scores Of Indian treaties. They
have seldom, if ever, been Kept. Says
Bishop Whipple: 81 have asked scores
OF brave officers who have grown gray in
the service il they knew OF single in
stance where Indians have been the first
to break the treaty and they have always
answered, no."
In 1928 We gave the Cherokees "solemn
guaranty of their lands forever +" ten
years afterwards, at the request of
Georgia, $4,000 of them were driven from
their homes and titled acres, before the
army, with great loss of property and
also one fourth of their number, many
hundreds of miles into an unknown Wild
erness.
In 1876 seven hundred Ponoas were
thus robbed and driven S. days march
| away from their own home, losing more
than $50 of their number In less than a
year, from changes and conditions which
only the stronger could survive.
In 1878 a remnant of the Cheyennes,
having been thus driven to a new home,
and having been compelled by starvation
to attempt returning to their former
home, were pursued, captured, and for
five days in Dakota prison, in mid
winter without food or fire, suffered till
their chief, maddened by the long tor.
ture, attempted suicide, his wife finish
ing the deed for his sake, and then TAX
ing her own life. few others of these
osptives escaping, were again pursued
by soldiers, overtaken in narrow canon,
and there killed or reoaptured.
Four times within a century have the
Stock bridges and Delswares suffered the
horrors of "removal."
