Morris, Mimi, Dec. Sth, 1885.
Editor Tribune: have read with
pleasure your articles showing the
outrageous charges OF the Manitoba
r. r. Co. That's right. Turn on the
light. 1t will do the company
officials good to see how things look
from our standpoint.
Here is case of bare-faced stealing:
In Sept. 1881, Mr.. G. S. Judd made
contract with the Chicago & North
western Railway Co. to freight car
load of stock aud goods from Genoa,
Ill. to Morris. Mimi, the receipt Of
which was acknowledged. On arriv-
ing in Morris, the agent of the Mani
toba road demanded ten dollars, and
Notwithstanding the fact that the
contract was shown him and a pro-
test made to his demand, he would
not allow the car to be unloaded, un-
til the money was paid, for which he
gave Mr.. Judd a receipt.
In June last acting for MI. Judd, l
sent the contract and receipt to the
Board of Railroad and Warehouse
commissioners, stating the facts, and
asked them to help Mr.. Judd get his
money back. Chs the commits
sioners have succeeded in
doing, the Chicago & Northwestern
sending their check for the same.
have no doubt, but there are other
instances similar to this, where the
Manitoba Co. have robbed people. be-
cause they could not help themselves.
But this stand and deliyer policy
must have an end. The board of
commissioners are doing all they can,
under the present law, to protect the
people. The law however, should be
changed so that the commissioners
will have full authority to classify
freight and fix both freight and pas
senger rates, land then the commission
ers should be backed by all the power
of the state of Minnesota. But few peo-
pie are aware of how important it is
that the Governor should be the far
mer's friend and q man Of incorrupti-
BILE character. He has full power in
appointing the Railroad and Ware
house commissioners and to them we
must look for relief.

THE KILLING.

! The readers of the MERCURY will re-
member that on the morning OF the 10th
of December, 1884, Nathan Freeman an
old respected citizen and merchant OF
Madison, was found dead on the floor of
his store, his throat cut from ear to ear,
and several wounds, any one of which
was mortal, upon his head. They will
also remember the finding of the
axe i'll fhe well near the store, the dis
covery of Townsend's bloody knife in
| the crack in the floor, and the other de-
tails seen through the eyes of the wit
nesses and published at the time.
THE INTERVIEW.
A representative of THE MERCURY in
terviewed Townsend in his cell shortly
before the execution. He reiterated in
its main points, the confession heretofore
given to the public, but gave special
prominence to the part taken by Neal in
their common crime The following are
interesting details, not hitherto made
public:
Townsend started from his home near
Brownsboro, some time in November
last, with the intention of going to Bir-
mingham to get work. AS he passed
Madison, one morning, with his coat on
his arm bound for Decatur, an acquaint-
ance stopped him, and learning that he
was looking for work, told him there was
a good deal Of cotton picking to be done
about Madison, and urged him to stop
over.
He concluded to do so, and under his
friends direction applied to Elvira Pike,
an aged colored woman, with whom he
got work picking cotton, and at whose
house he boarded. Here, he found Neal,
already at work, and the two soon be-
came very intimate.
Neal told him that his home had been
in Charlotte, N. C,-that he had left it
on account of a difficulty in which he
shot man about girl. He then got
work on the Georgia Pacific railroad,
where he killed fellow, and was obliged
to leave. After this, he went to Bir-
mingham, then to Atlanta, thence to
Chattanooga, whence he came on foot to
Madison. Neal drank and gambled, and
did his best to induce him (Townsend),
to do so, and did succeed in leading him
to drink, and he drank deeply, and spent
his money as fast as it came in, in this
way.
From Townsends manner in referring
to their companionship, more than any
thing else, it was apparent that Neals
dominion over Townsend was almost alb
sOlute.
About the middle of November, Neal
first proposed to Townsend, the robbery
of Freeman. He said that Freeman kept
fully $500 in his desk in the store, and
proposed to get this money and leave
for Birmingham, going thence to st.
Louis.
Townsend refused. Neal, however,
would not let him rest, and kept after
him until finally on the Monday before
the murder, he consented. Elvira Pixies
axe was stolen and placed under Free
mans house, and on Tuesday evening
the two went down to Freeman's short
ly after dark.
There was too much passing when
they reached there, and Neal walked off,
while Townsend went into Wash Cav
anaugh's, next door, and sat down for
awhile. Presently Neal came back and
called him out. They stood out on the
street awhile, when Townsend entered
the store and called for some peanuts,
placing dime on the counter. Free
