TuE nrASSIE CASE.

Tie release of Rcdd and Williamson
under bail is only just and legal. As
yet no evidence has been brought for
ward which directly incri inmates them.
The testimony OF Isaac Smith which
seemed to DO proof positive as to tho
identity Of Rcdd is practically de-
stroyed by his claiming that he had
known Rodd in Rcidsvillc, North Caro-
lima, place which Rcdd mover saw.
Tho question rises: whom did Smith
see ? fit was not John T.Reld, Smiths
testimony has no practical value, for the
presence of any chance negro at Mr..
Body's gate lacks Significance
Tho Identification of Williamson by
the Wade boys has been Mt all times Of
questionable value, and Other testimony
available practically destroys what
must at any timo havo been gatded as
an untenable theory in regard to his
alleged action.
But tho public, which may become
impatient from Justices delay. may rest
assured that an untiring vigilance and
activity arc being exercised to close in
on the murderer of Mr.. Massio and his
oonfederatcs. Justice will yet be done.

He deIe lii...,, 10 save tho greater
part OF this, but the question Of how
this was to DO accomplished troubled
him. Finally he hit on u novel plan.
He determined to pawn the money.
The gentleman of the threc-ball sign
willingly made out tho ticket and lont
him SIS on the $50, charging the usual
rate OF interest. With this SIS the actor
ut once proceeded to get inebriatcd
1t was about eight o'clock in tho even

kcr's, with the intention Of getting his
money out and continuing his spree.
But the place was closed md tho
owner refused to come out and see him.
SO he proceeded to wait. He know he
was not in condition to go TO tho thea

hood, and 40 last fell asleep on q door

morning tho place WIS open, so he wont

awaited him. Although lie had tho

him, and tho Si5 was enough
money out OF which to pay tho

it, the pawnhrckcr refused to pay back
tho money till he received what was
due him. SO the actor had 10 go out to
friends, explain the circumstances
and borrow enough money to get his
SO bill out OF pawn. and now whom no
wants to save his money he is going TO
put it in the family Biblc or some other
secret place but seldom priod into
