$50 acres of land in 1881, half mile

Kansas; then Illinois, near st. Louis.

The Cresset in speaking Of the Ben.
nington trial, has to go out of its way
to cast discredit on the county officials
who were elected by the alliance, and
expose a lot of republican skeletons
which it was hoped had been bidder
away forever. Bennington was con-
victed, and the case taken to the SUI
preme court, and remanded for a new
trial. Whose fault was it that the case
was remanded? Did not Judge Ellis
give oral instructions to the jury
against the advice of the county attor
ney? Does not the Cresset know thai
1t is an exceptional case where man is
convicted the second time, after hi!
case has been remanded by the suprem,
| court? Does not the CreSSet know tina
witnesses for the prosecution often ge
scattered, and often forget many cir
! they remembered at the first? Does no
the Cresset know that ''in the mean
time Sheriff Dobson" did not captur
Wash, Phillips, but that County Attor
| ney DeGeer did the work which LEI
! Phillips into D0bsOn's hands; and afte
the state had gathered UP evidence, a
great labor and expense, does not tn
Cresset know that Sheriff Dobson's twr
deputies went upon the stand and sue
cessfully impeached the evidence of tn
witnesses for the state. If the county
business has suffered, who caused it l.
suffer? Who made the first mistake
Who broke down the states evidence
The cry of 'sstop thief" shall not throy
the people off the track. They are dc
ing some thinking for themselves, thi
year. Judge Ellis, who tried the cas-
the first time, was Bennington's attol
ney at the last trial. Mr.. Cameron, VIII
