Is Mansfield King Insane?

H NAtLlSl1cIu fAluS xllSdIlc
A jury to inquire into the mental
condition of Mansfield King has
been ordered, and it will probably
meet before Friday. The belief
has steadily grown that King is
crazy. This, however, does not
affect his confession that he was the
man who robbed the Denver bank,
for Cashier Moffat and Assistant
Cashier Otis both positively
identified him, and there is no
doubt about his identity. The
Colorado officers are anxious to
know the result of the inquiry. II
King is pronounced insane the Dem
yer authorities will not ask for him,
but if he is declared sane they will
probably make a demand, and
then will come a fight, for Pros
ecuting Attorney Warfeld OF Clay
ton will oppose surrendering him.
st. Louis Post-D Dispatch.
The Mansfield King matter has
turned out just as J. G. Leaks told
a LEDGER reporter it would. The
Denver Bank officials now say
King is not the man who robbed
their bank. 1t develops, also, that
King never committed a crime
worse than stealing horses. Tint
he is the biggest liar living or else
he is crazy is a certain fact.

H(3od Alone KneWs Who Was

HGod Alone Knows Who Was
Right"
From the Washington. Va. Blue Ridge Guide.
Ingalls,, the forked tongued Sian
derer of the South, in his oration
at Gettysburg, in referring to the
late civil war, dwelt upon the above
quotation, and, again acting in the
capacity of Judge advocate" adj
judged that the quotation should
be, "God alone knows ice were
right IF might was right, then
we were wrong, but does right al
ways prevail? Still ae say, "God
alone knows who was right" Who
is Ingalls, that he should judge2
Who led the rear-guard in the late
unpleasantness7 ingalls,. Who
acted as Judge Advocate to keep
out of service? Ingalls,. Who
dealt out ginger cakes from a suit
lers wagon to the Northern veter-
ans in times that tried mems
souls3 ingalls,. Who now trem-
ble's at a fancied rebel yell? In
gals. Who is still afraid of a Con-
federate battle-hag, torn and tat
tered? Ingalls,. Who stoops to
smile at a fallen foe, stricken down
by hands other than his own? In
CALLS. Thank heaven we of the
South are not to be judged by such
camp-followers as he, for when the
veteran of the South meets the
veteran of the North, they strike
hands of friendship, and there is a
reunion of brotherly feeling. The
camp-follower and skulker has to
himself alone all the glory of tear
ing a gap in the healing wound and
Haunting to the breeze the bloody
shirt. Away! Away with such
cattle. We stacked arms at APP
pomattox with bleeding hearts,
but not with Bonded knee, and
with loyalty we accepted the situa-
ton and adopted the old flag. But
can we not honor the memory of
our dead? Can we not honor the
flag under which our fathers and
brothers so valiantly fought and
fell? Is it treason to place flowers
upon the graves of our fallen he
roes? Is it treason to take from
the drawer that tattered flag and
look lovingly and proudly upon it
the flag under which SO many
heroes fell, and, communing with
the past, is it treason to bring to
our minds fresh, sweet memories
of our dear ones who under that
flag gallantly laid down their
youthful lives? Is it treason to
honor the flag that the chivalry oil
the South fell to sustain2 Is il
treason in the old mother to throw
to the breeze the flag that her dead
boy CALAMITY bore with pride and
honor? If this be treason, then
love is but a sham, honor and
glory but a name.
