George B. Reed, the man under arrest
for numbering Daniel Henderson. the
farm hand whose body was found in a
corn field near this city a few days ago,
confessed today, and according to his
own story the murder was as cruel and
unprovoked as ever occurred in Indiana,
being committed solely for S6.25. which
Reed knew the murdered man had in his
possession, he having seen John Maloney,
a Marshall, H., farmer, pay that sum to
Henderson. Reed says he decided to kill
Henderson while they were walking from
Marshall, H., to this city. After they
reached Terre Haute about midnight
Reed says he proposed that they cross
the bridge again and sleep out in a field.
He woke up first in the morning. Hen
derson was lying sound asleep on a plank
and a revolver he had with him was
lying By his side. A handkerchief was
lying across Henderson's face. placed
there to protect him from the mosquitoes.
Reed held the revolver within two feet
of his victims face and fired. He

his wife, who, he says, had been abusing
him because he could not earn any money,
and they came over to Terre Haute and
spent 1t for clothing and provisions. He
told his wife. he says, how he got the
money and she said he ought not to kill
a man for such a small amount.
When asked if the killing didn't worry
him, he said: 'P shaw, no; he's dead
and there's nothing to be afraid Of -
He was asked: You wouldn't try such
a job again. would you?' to which he
said: "Oh, I don't know. 1 might if [

And this Is one of the practical conse-
quenees or this fool strike and boycott
ordered BY Debs. II robbed . state more
than 2 600 miles distant from Chicago Of
the profits OF its legitimate industries-for
what7 For nothing except to display the
great head" Of Mr.. Debs. The employees
at Pullman alone have lost over $500. 900 IN
wages by this strike. A great amount OF
property has been destroyed; q great
amount of money in wages has been lost.
The honest labor of Chicago has lost
greatly by the increased cost of the neces-
saries Of life and nothing whatever has
been gained by labor. +. w. BraZier,
railroad employe in Chicago, writes 10 the
Fitchburg, Mass, Sentinel as follows:
"All provisions--meat, milk, in fact all
eatables are in some cases doubled in price.
The poorer classes are the ones that Will
suffer the most. Ny advice 10 all railroad
men who have positions and are earning
their living is TO stick to your work and
let these agitators go. Ii you could have
witnessed the sights that / have the past
few days it would change your opinion
about strikes. While / do not think the
burning of cars and the destruction OF
property was done by the strikers, and
from personal observation of the great IRE
on the Panhandle road / know 1t was
done mostly by boys, women and buns,
most all OF whom were Poles. Yet, under
stand me- had not this strike started these
contemplate good-for-nothing beings
would not have been melted to do what
they did,"
And yet the mayor of Chicago was such
miserable poltroon that he kissed the
feet of this Debs. 1t appears that railway
companies have possession Of letter
written by Debs. as president OF the
American Railway Union, instructing
men at the stock yards to allow certain
cars for the removal of dead cattle to be
hauled away, at q time when the lawless
mob was preventing by violence the move
ment of any trains at that point. This
letter Debs wrote at the request of the
Democratic mayor of Chicago, who per-
sonaliy appealed to him, the head of an
instruction against all law, to cause the
mob to release the cars in question.
There is one consolation: if this public
incendiary ever gets convicted and i'm
prisoned he will go to Federal prison,

of Illinois.
