as well as the church. has taken tum
bic from his lofty perch down to the |
very lowest depths of sin and filth, not |
only disgracing himself and family, but |
the cause Of temperance and the church, /
also.
Usage City Free Press: DR.. KrOhn is
a degraded and ruined man. His good
name and high standing in the state,
in an evil hour, was swept away.
Penance for the balance of his
life will not reinstate him in the
confidence of and the respect of the
people. There is no place-no spot in
the civilized world in which he can
hide from this stain upon his name.
augusta Gazette: MOlloy-KrOhn.
They preach prohibition and reform; the
former has been proven guilty of adult
cry and is now held for trial for being
accessory to brutal murder; the latter
was caught undressed i'll a hotel bed
room with partially dressed young
woman. More attention should be
paid to chastity and not so much fuss
about prohibition.
Salind Herald: This time the subject
of the fall is nearer home. The cyclone
was near us and the uprOar was plainly
heard. DR.. Phillip KrOhn, the preach
er temperance lecturer, official and
ho
sireS to lead him aStray. The good he
has done, has to a great extent been
undone, and the good he might have
accomplished in the future Woefully
crippled.
Mdnbuttdn Mercug: Philip, if you
prove yourself innocent of all these
horrible things charged against you, we
shall apologize with right good will;
but, in view of everything in your favor
even. we cannot see but you are lusty
leach in society, and ought to receive
the curse of every lover of home in the
country.
Junction City Union: Dr.. Krohn
was in Abilene just thirty-siX days and
already had two women on his string.
What would have happened in year
had he not been ''dOwned" was prob
able contingency which caused a great
panic among the men up there.
H0Card Democrat: No comment is
necessary on the actions of DR.. KrOhn.
That he deliberately worked for nearly
six weeks to bring about the result
that was apparently frustrated by the
entrance of Baker and the officers,
shows a mind so foul that it is its own
condemnation.
BeIOi Democrat: 1t is no eXtenuatiOn
of the error whether KrOhn was caught
in the trap set by the enemies or not,
as he voluntarily walked into the trap.
He was the easiest cought of big fish
of which we ever heard, and was safely
and permanently landed.
A special from Albany to the New
York World says: Philip KrOhn was
| the subject Of scandal here and ON that
account, it is said, was forced to leave.
He went to West Troy and was charged
| there with immoral conduct, including
the derauding of stOrekeepers. He re-
moved to Kansas.
Manhattan Nationalist: No one can
excuse or palliate the Offense of Krohn.
He intended to do wrong, and knew it,
| but there was malice in the conspiracy.
Seneca Tribune: True to his past rec
ord, DR.. Phillip KrOhn has just been
engaged in another woman escapade.
We ask our readers to pardon us for
giving 50 much space to Philip Krohn,
as there seemed to be many who did
not Tor did not want to- know the facts
who fell in with the scheme of shield
ing Nrohn and cenSuring one of the
editors of the REFLECTOR, Henry Lifts,
as being the instigatOr and cOncOcter
of the KrOhn liaSOn, we deem it but
justice to ourselves to give the full
facts. Henry Lifts, J. J. Miller and
A. II. Martin were ignorant of KrOhn's
attempts for weeks, and Ed. Baker did
not attempt or entertain the idea of
having anything to do with the matter
until KrOhn had kept up his correspond
ing and entreaties for over a month
We submit sworn statements and other
facts. Let the people judge who is
guilty.
