out by brute force. It was clear case pf nine
to six. The men who perpetrated this outrage
will take place on the roll Of infamy along
with those who pcrpetrated tho Presidential
fraud Of 1876. There is only one thing We can
do. and that Is to appeal to the courts at once
and have the wrong riGhted BY an honest and
independent judiciary"
