JUSTICE HORTON ENDORSED
Judge Cooley Says His Decision In the
Gum Case Was Good.
SIS JACKSON ST.

Judge Cooley Says His Decision In the
Gum Case Was Good.
The decision written by Chief Justice
Horton in the Gum case growing out Of
the political struggle for the control of
the Kansas legislature in 1898, was
quoted fully in the settlement of the re-
cent controversy IN New Jersey, the
court of that state taking substantially
the same ground as in the Gum case.
Since the New Jersey case was decid-
ed, Judge Horton has received the fol-
lowing letter from Judge Thomas NJ.
Cooley, of Ann Arbor:
"The criticism made by your decision
in the legislative case never. SO far as |
could see. affected in the least the public
sentiment of the country. either in the
profession or out of it. The decision
was sound and right, and the common
sense of the country had no difficulty in
recognizing that fact The decision in
the New Jersey case is on the same lines
and is also sound and right l never ex-
pected anything different from that
court The able lawyers of the country
who belong to the same political party
with a majority of the judges would
have been surprised and shocked, l am
sure, by different decision"

ST. LOUIS, April "a special to the
Republic says: Col English, a brutal
uxoricide was taken from Jail at Bakers
vile, N, c., by mob and hanged.
About 3 o'clock the sheriff, whose resi-
dence is connected with the Jail, was
aroused from sleep for the ostensible
purpose of admitting a prisoner, but
when he descended to meet the supposed
officers at the entrance he was seized,
bound and gagged and the keys to the
murderer's cell were taken from his
pockets.
English was dragged from his cell and
taken by a mob of 100 unmarked men
and hanged to a tree just outside the
town. The crime for which English was
lynched was one of the most brutal ever
committed in the state. English and his
wife had not lived together for some
time and he killed her because she would
not return to him.
