Interesting Testimony of the Colonel Gem
msnding Fort Walla Walla
WALLA WALLA, May 21-The fourth
day of tue investigation by the Court of In
qury into the late lynching at Walla Walla
was sensational in some respects. Colonel
Compton, commandment Of the fort, was
put on the stand. He said he had not re-
ceiYed justice, either from the press or
the people. and that it will take
twenty years to oveItake the false reports
that have gone out TIE Colonel contra
dicted the Sheriff and Prosecuting Attorney
in much of their testimony. He testified
that there was nothing in the manner of the
soldiers to impress him Of the presence of
any real danger. He believed the disturb
ance of the night before had all subsidized,
and that the troops no longer manifested
a mutinOus spirit. He denied that
he said that he could not keep the men at
the post TIL after II o'clock because of an
order Of the War Department still he took
measures To prevent any outbreak and had
the Sheriff made any resistance whatever he
would have been there with company TO as
siSt, and would have saved Hunt from lynch
ing. He Dlames the Sheriff for having been
bluffed out. Compton was subjected to a
severe cross examination, which he stood
manfully for several hours, when at last he
broke down and his eyes Flied with
tears. He said it was all due
to his non commissioned officers. He
bewailed the confidence he had placed
in them. He had trusted them and found
them unfaithfui. Had they done their duty
the lynchiDg would not have occurred. He
thought he had such perfect discipline that
after his lecture the night before re thought
no further violence would take place.
