Recovering Bodies.

LYNCHBURG, VA, April 12.-After every
thing was got in readiness at PocahOntas
Thursday evening, police force was placed
on guard at the entrance to the mines in
order to keep back the crowd which had
been attracted by the notice posted that
bodies were to be recovered. Mining
Engineer Moody, in charge of the
rescuing party, entered the mines to note
the situation of affairs. When they
emerged from the mines they an
nOunced that the damage was less than
had been supposed, and. that little trouble
would be experienced in recovering the
bodies of the victims. Two bodies were re-
covered Thursday, horribly mutilated-
those of Boone Maxey, white boy, and
Jim Grim, negro. The work was resumed
Friday. A still larger crowd cOngre-
gated at the entrance, and ropes were
stretched to prevent too near an approach.
The crowd, however, observed proper
decorum and there was no undue excite
ment. A spirit of great Solemnity seemed
to peryade the assembly. The bodies as re-
covered were placed in boxes inside the
mine, and several brought out together on
a pole car. A number of miners well
acquainted with the victims were placed
at the entrance for the purpose of Identify
ing the bodies, but of sixteen recovered so
far only six were identified

The People Greatly to Blame.

DIES MONIES, Iowa, April 9.-Judge VII.
liam Connor, in a published letter regard
ing the laxity of the Iowa criminal laws, as
well as their enforcement, says: If we
are going to blame anyone here in Iowa fOr
this state of things, the people themselves
must assume a pretty large share. They
send to the Legislature lawyers, many OF
whom make living by defending
criminals. These men, composing the
entire membership of the Judiciary
committee, prevent any reform of
criminal procedure They sign pc
titiOns to pardon criminals regardless of the
merits of the case, and help to set free the
few who are so unlucky as to get convicted.
They make no demand upon the Legislature
for reform in this direction, although they
sign numerous petitions fol the pardon of
two or three murderers.' The Judge urges
that District Judges should have longer
terms. larger powers, better pay, and that
defendants privileges should be curtailed.
