warmer and more hearty welcome,
and were more Hospitality treated,
than they were at Crowley.

ALL WILL ~. INTERESTED

The New York Sun says: The whole
country will take an interest in the trial
of the men who have been arrested in
Memphis upon the charge of having taken
part in the lynching of six unfortunate
negroes who were accused of barn burn
ing. We have learned from the United
Press dispatches that the prisoners were
not indicted by the grand jury until sev
eral of them had confessed their guilt,
and we have had assurances that the Jail
in which they are held i we'll guarded,
80 that no resCuing party can enter it.
Positive proof has been obtained that at
least several of the lynChed negroes
could not have had any part In the com
mission of those deeds of arson which
the lynchers sought to fasten upon them.
Their murder was the work of a gang OF
bloody Williams, every one Of whom de
serves to be sent to the gallows.
The law abiding people of Memphis
are evidently desirOus that the murderers
shall be punished, and if the men in
prison charged with the crime shall be
convicted of it, their punishment will
very surely follow.
