A Denmark Communication.

We have received q communication
from Denmark. signed by two citizens Of
that place. together with bullet taken
from the tree on which John Peterson
was lynched. The communication is a
plea in Justification of the lynching of
Peterson. The statement is made that
Peterson was lynchod for crime revolt
ing 10 an civilized people, and thequestion
is asked. who could condemn those who
did the lznching3 There is also a state
mcntrelative to the duty Of men to protect
women from such brutes as Peterson is
alleged to have been.
The writer's of the communication lose
sight of two things: First, that if lynch
law is approved there is great danger of
innocent men being made to suffer for the
guilty. a mob acts from impulse, not
from reason. We have not yet seen any
evidence published that leaves no doubt
that Peterson was guilty man. Our
correspondent at Denmark stated that
the girl and her brother failed to recog-
uize him as the guilty man when he was
first brought before them for identif-
cation A subsequent dispatch stated
that Peterson was guilty, but did not
give the names of the witnesses who
proved him guilty We have seen it some
where stated that the girl subsequently
stated that Peterson looked like the man
who attempted the outrage As far as
we know there was grave doubt of Peter
sons guilt when he was lynched. We
have not seen any evidence since that
proved him guilty beyond a doubt.
The second thing is this: Assuming
that Peterson was guilty, wouldn't he
have paid the penalty of his crime if the
law had been allowed to take its coursc2
And if he had been punished according
to law, instead of being lynched, wouldn't
wives and daughters have been afforded
as great protection against the repetition
of such a crime as they are afforded by
the lynching2 If not, why not change the
law and make lynching for assaults upon
women legal2 If we doubt the wisdom of
the law, why not repeal it, but if we be-
lieve the law is wise, and for the best in
terest of society, why not respect it. The
writers of the Denmark communication
seem to think Peterson, assuming he was
guilty, would not have been punished at
all if he had not been lynched. The COM
municatiOn means that or it means moth
ing, and if it means that, they think their
courts and juries cannot be depended upon
to enforce the law against criminals such
as Peterson is believed to have been.

LEGATION of new story on Sunday, May
IA, by Mrs Baseley, entitled Her
Fathers Idol It is a sensational do
nestle novel Of the most enthralling char
acter Mrs. Baseley has the faculty of at
once interesting her readers i'm her char
acters. They are life-like, human-often
weak and passionate-bu yet they secure
sympathy and arouse lively feelings in the
breasts of those who are following their
fortunes.
The interest of the reader in the fore
going story will be chiefly concentrated
upon Nelly Henstock, the heroine, and
consummate villain, named Mark Boyd,
The young lady is IS years of age, and is
the only daughter of DR.. Henstock The
villain of the piece is an idle dandifed
scamp, the son of a rival practitioner.
From first to last the proceedings of Mark
Boyd are of an extraordinary char
acter. He shoots a rival from a spirit
of jealousy. He misleads the heroine
appropriates her correspondence; she is
watched by spy-a nihilist, who secretly
cherishes a scheme of revenge against

by Mark, consents to marriage Suisse
quently she discovers the imposture that
has been carried on, and after a series of
exciting adventures, aided by other per
sons who have been deceived by Mark
Boyd she Is restored to home and friends.
The story is of a decidedly moral tone
throughout, and the crimes which are de-
scrfbeds hold the perpetrators up to
universal execration. One remarkably
powerful chapter tells of the heroine's
narrow escape from death. Whilst i'll she
is given sleeping draught. Her keepers
thrust her into a coffin, while still alive,
and attempt TO bury her in a neighboring
shrubbery. This story will also appear

The engineer of the Big -Four" train
that crashed into the depot at Lafayette,
Ind, with such fearful results, lost con
troll of his engine through the failure of
the air brakes to work. The inference to
be drawn is that he depended solely upon
the air brakes Nothing is said about any
attempt to use the hand brakes 1t is
possible that no arrangements had been
made whereby hand brakes could be called
into use al moments notice. Passenger
cars are usually supplied with hand as
well as air brakes. If the big Four's"
wrecked train was not so supplied, and
manned by crew large enough and in
. structed to hand-break the train to Il
standstin within a reasonable distance
the blame for the accident would seem to
be with the railroad officials If it was
supplied in these particulars, then the
fault must have been with the engineer,
who failed to call for hand brakes as soon
as the air brakes failed to work.

End of a Remarkable Case.

Carlyle Harris, the wife murderer, was
executed yesterday He died protesting
his innocence His case was a remarkable
one, chiefly because of the extraordinary
efforts that We're made to save his life.
Thousands of those who became inter
ested in his trial believe he was inno-
cent.
The proof on which he was convicted
was circumstantial, but it was so strong
that those who studied it carefully could
reach no other conclusion than that he was
guilty. The jury that tried him had no
doubt Of his guilt, and the Judges who re-
/ viewed the case agreed with the Jury
| Even the commissioner appointed by the
governor to hear the testimony
that was alleged to have been discovered
after the courts were done with the case.
said he could not avoid the conviction
! that the courts had made no mistake
Still, Harris may have been innocent.
Strong as the evidence against him was
| and conclusive as it appeared to be, there
is a bare possibility that he was the vic
| tim of circumstances. There have been
| cases in which the evidence was fully as
strong against innocent men. The GOV
ernor and the courts, however, only did
their duty. They were compelled to act
in accordance with the evidence, and the
| evidence left no doubt of his guilt in the
minds of those who weighed it carefully
and conscientiously.
His bad character was greatly against
him. If he had led clean and honorable
! life it might have been possible to have
created such prejudice in his favor that
he would have been saved from the death
| sentence. But he was so lacking in
principle that it was impossibla to excite
sympathy for him in the minds of the
jury or the judges But whether Guilty
or innocent he will be forgotten quickly.
Lawyers will continue to refer to his case
in the criminal courts, but the busy world
will cease to talk of the notorious wife
j murderer.
