NEW ORLEANS, March 24.-Two in
dictments were returned by the grand
jury, supposedly against men who were
concerned in the bribery of the jury
which failed to convict the murderers
of Chief Hennessy. Attorney General
Rogers will go before the grand jury in
the morning, and will call a large num-
Der of witnesses who were present at the
preliminary meeting of the mob around
the Clay statne, and who saw some OF
the scenes at the parish prison.
FL want to say" Attorney General
Rogers said, "that am not in sympathy
with that uprising. regard it as de-
plorable affair and if indictments are
found mean to fight to the bitter end.
do not believe in mob violence as a
means of enforcing the law. 1t may be
true that the jury in the Hennessy case
was bribed, but that does not justify
the mob in assuming the right to exc
cute the law. I am in possession of
enough evidence to justify me in pro-
ceeding at once if l can get the grand
jury to help me-.
The attorney generals proposed action
is regarded as reflection of Governor
Nichols position. The governor, though
he was in New Orleans the day of the
uprising, and has been here ever since,
has not once given voice to his opinion
about the lynching.

"Yes," she whispered, nobody can

eyes, dearest"
"You are an amateur photographer.
Try the instantaneous scheme"
A bright smile illumined the young
mans face. AS soon as her papa again
passed the archway he suddenly
clasped the maiden to his breast and
pressed her willing lips. 1t was all
over in fraction of a second. Once
more, as papa disappeared, he renewed
the instantaneous process. And then
once again. Alas; it was one too
many. George suddenly felt himself
seized by the collar, whirled through
the front door and flung down the
front steps. Then, as the old man
grimly closed the door, he gruffly NUT
tered:
