THEY WERE NOT GUILTY


KANSAS CITY. Sept. GA special dis
patch to the Times from Eldoraio, kas.,
says: The details of "a mob trial under
lynch law of Alonzo Edwards and his
wife at Rosalia, for the alleged murder of
Henry Bloomer's 3ycar-old child of
most revolving character and reveals n
story of inhliman treatment seldom met
with even OH the border. The child il APP
pears was left in the care of Mr.. and Mrs.
Edwards while BlooIncr and his wife went
to work i'm the fields last Tuesday. That
evening the child was missing and search
by the neighlDor,s "wednesday and Thurs
day failed to reveal any trace of its
whereabouts. Mr.. and Mrs. Edwards
were not sufficiently active i'm search to-
satisfy the minds of some of the ncighlDors
and consequently suspicion was aroused
and finally the mob took charge of them,
one portion taking Edwards and the other
his wife. Mrs. Edwards is a woman of
very nervous disposition, and when conn
mantied to confess the crime under PEN
atty of hanging If she did not, finally said
she had killed the child accidentally, and
that the body was i'm creek. Search
failed to reveal il. When she was again
dragged to the nearest tree and having no
statements to make, was pulled up and
kept suspended i'm the air until her face
was black. She was then lowered and when
brought to, the leader told her IL she did
not tell the truth she would bc hanged
until dead, and her husband burned at
the stake. The woman was too badly
frightened to speak, and assuming her si-
lcncc To he voluntary, the mob again sus-
pended her until nearly dead. After re-
vivinG her, they were about tn draw her
up again when the father of the missing
child intcrferrcd, saying, il they killed
her the body of the child could not he
found. She was then placed iva charge of
guard. In the mean time that portion
of the mob which had Edwards i'm charge
attempted to extort a confession from him.
Ht. too. nrOfeSSinU inuOcencp. was strung
up twice until nearly dead. Friday night
the prisoners were placed i'm jail here.
From that time until this morning mob
varing from 800 to $500 has continually
surrounded the jail cIamoring for the
them at bay. Early this morning the
missing child was found alive and well
sitting the door step of farmer
near Rosalia. Where the child has been
all the time is n mystery. 1t is supposed
the child was kidnapped and returned
when il was found the excitemeIt
of it's Disappearance was causing trouble.
Mr.. and Mrs. Edwards have been released.
They are still suffering from the effects of
the harsh treatment received and an at
tempt will he made to prosecute the lead
