came down town yesterday afternoon,
and between 4 and 5 o'clock might
have been seen promenading along
Ohio street, faultlessly attired, and
seemingly a gentleman OF elegant
leisure. Latour's photograph gallery
reached, he halted for a few minutes
and gazed intently at the pictures
displayed in front, but no one recog-
nized in him the individual who has
figured to such large extent in the
newspapers of the country during the
past week, hence he did not attract
the amount of attention that would
otherwise have been accorded him.
The BAzoo has it from excellent
authority that the gentleman with
whom Boyd is visiting is firing of his
guest, and that if the visit was cut
short there would he no tears shed.
As to
BoYD's FUTURE MOVEMENTS,
it is said that he contemplates settling
in Leavenworth, Kas., at an early
day, where he will endeavor
to practice his profession.
He is in some manner re-
lated to Hon. Thos. Fenlon, of
Leavenworth one of the shining lights
of the legal fraternity in Kansas, and
becars. of this fact the young Ken
tuckian hopes to obtain foot-hold
in the prohibition state. 1t is proba-
bly, well that he has thus decided.
Should he return to his old home in
Paducah, he would receive nothing
but the condemnation he deserves.
The people of st. Louis have no use
for him; in fact. Missouri can get
along without his presence, and the
sooner he leaves Sedalia, the better it
will please our citizens.
Boyds statement, as furnished by
him to the BAzoo alone, does not OBJ
tain much credcnce with the people
of Paducah, KY, Judging by the fol-
lowing special telegram from there,
printed in the St. Louis Republican
of Yesterday:
The statement and attempted vim
dication of himself by Riley Boyd in
the Republican of yesterday was read
here last night and to-day with in
creased Indignation by the people of
this city. In fact the excitement and
feeling is so high that no man would
undertake to be responsible for Boyd's
safety were he to attempt to come
here, at which place of all Others
he ought to be if he is a man and in
nocent. Reprinting his defence to-
day the News comments upon it as
follows: SIN the St. Louis Republi-
can of yesterday morning Riley Boyd
has published what he means for a
vlndication of himself. He
POSES AS A MARTYR
to public opinion through the recent
publications of the press of the coun-
try in q manner which he calls pref
judicial and slanderous to his charac-
ter. Below we copy all of Boyd's own
statement, which appears in the ar
ticle mentioned, emitting only what
purports to be official documents and
letters vindicatlng him as to the burg
larry charges against him some years
ago. These may be genuine, but
whether they are has nothing to do
with what has transpired since. The
people of Paducah know that Riley
Boyd is smart enough to garble the
statements, leaving out that which
might be detrimental to his good
name, or he might manufacture them
all together. So far as that old af-
fair is concerned, it is a matter too
well known and understood here to
require comment or discussion Just
now. 1t is Riley Boyd's latest actions
and conduct and his treatment of his
dead wife since marrying her that is
up for judgment. Her dying words
are before the public, and are cor
roborated by a number of other wit
nesses who were intimate with both
at st. Louis. Therefore, his very
lame attempt to prove himself guilt
less by showing good name back of
all this, if it may be 80 construed,
and his evidently intended insinua-
ton against the fair name of the girl
he took away from this city, will find
no sympathy or countenance here
with the people among whom both
were raised. Against Lucy Grimes
there was
NO BREATH OF SUSPICION
and it will not do for Riley Boyd to
undertake to reconcile his own actions
In the premises by such cowardly in.
uendos against the dead woman.
