A SHORT SERIFT
And n Long Rope Given to a Mis-
souri, Murderer.

SPRINGFIELD, Mo-, April 27.-George
Graham, the wife murderer, was lynched
here by mob at an early hour this morn
ing. A spring wagon was part of the outfit
of the lynching party. The wagon was
halted in front of the jail door, and few
men heavily armed, and carrying in their
hands rope and Sledge hammers, knocked
at the front door. The sheriff was asleep
and answered their call. Upon opening
the door he was seized by the men, who
demanded the keys to Graham's cell. He
attempted to equivocate, but a revolver
thrust between his eyes told him
resistance was folly, and he told them
where to get the keys. Then they went
to the cell and opened the door.
Graham was in his bunk, and was COM
manded to get up. He was at first in
furlate, and replied with oaths, but he was
Iilenced with a muZzle of a revolver thrust
IN his face. He dressed himself, anG when
he rope was placed round his neck broke
iown and wept bitterly. The leader of the
party informed him Of their purpose, and
demanded true statement of the killing of
Sarah Graham. He recovered his compos-
IRE, and with something of his old audacity,
replied that when he got out he would give
''straight talk" He was led out of the
jail at the end of the rope. placed in wag-
Oh, and the grim procession moved in a
nOrtherly direction. The crowd of specta-
tors, which had by this time increased to
perhaps fifty, at once started to follow, but
were halted and warned not to do so. and
only few of the most venturesOme did So
keeping in the shadows of fences and
treees. About two miles north of the city
the cavalcade halted by small scrub oak
tree. Pickets were thrown out, who kept
all curious followers at a distance. and
preparations for hanging were hurriedly
made. Graham was asked if he had any
thing further to say with regard to the kill
ing of his wife. Exactly what his reply
was is not known outside the charmed and
the charming circle which surrounded him,
but it is claimed that he reasserted his state
ment that neither Mrs. Malloy or Cora Lee
were implicated in the murder. A cloth
was tied over his face, his hands were bound
behind him, the rope was thrown over a
limb of the stunted tree, and dozen strong
arms in a twinkIing dangled the body of
the wife-murderer in mid air. He was lit
orally strangled to death, and at a. M.
the body Of Graham was hanging where
left by the lynchers. This is the first in
stance of lynch law that has occurred in
Greene county for twenty years. 1t was
reported that one wing of the mob went to
Bolivia where Cora Lee is still in Jail, with
the intention of lynching her also, but this
is not verified. The coroner of Greene
county held an inquest over the body this
corning. The jury returned a verdict to
the effect that the deceased came to his
death by strangulation at the hands of peo-
ple unknown.

THE TARIFF BILL.
Mr.. Randall and his Associates

WASHINGTON, April 27.-A number of
conservative Democrats think that Mr..
Randall would make his opposition to the
existing tariff bill stronger if ne should
consent 10 permit il 10 go TO the committee
OF the whole for discussion. 1t is under
stood that Mr.. Randall and his associates,
who are opposed TO the bill in its present
shape, are inclined 10 vote with the Re
publicans to strike out the enacting clause.
There are a number of Democrats who SYM
pathize with Mr.. Randall in his opposition
to this measure. but who would not vote
with him to kill tie bill in advance of dis
cussion. They say that if Mr.. Randall
would permit the bill to go to the COM
nlittee. he would have an opportunity there
of amending it so that il could be passed
Mr.. Randall himself favors the Hewitt
part of the bill Ii Mr.. Randall should
determine TO take action to pass this part
of the measure. he could undoubtedly sue
ceed unless the ex-revenue reformers
should insist upon having the whole bill or
nothing. This would make him the leader
on the Democratic side, and would at the
same time secure FOR him greater personal
triumph.
