from the American Jail by means of a

Three years ago, on Christmas eve, Black
man shot StOnewall Tondee, a merchant
in Ellayille, TO death. The assassination
aroused the deepest Indignation but
somehow Blackman had friends who
saw 10 it that he was unhurt. He
has been three times convicted of
the murder and has been as often before
the Supreme where new trials were
allowed. Day before yesterday the Su.
preme Court affirmed the third sentence,
and thus he seemed to be at the end of
his rope. 1t was at this stage he was as
sisted in his escape The suspicion has
now become open that the assassination
OF Tondee must have been prompted by
some white man, who is taking care that
