THE TRIAL OF HOLMES.

Whatever may be the line of defense
adopted by the lawyers of II. II. Holmes,
the alleged murderer of Pietzel and many
Others, they will not be able to plead
mental responsibility or weakness of any
sort in his behalf Rarely has supposed
criminal in the dock shown such eGuipoise,
calniness, and keen intelligence as lie. In
the conduct of his own case, which he
undertook for a day and part OF another, he
exhibited remarkable shrewdness and cir
cumspection for one in his position. and if
at last he took back the attorneys whom
he had once dismissed, it is probably be-
cause lie was smart enough to realize
that "the man who is his own lawyer
has fool for a client"
ty-threenurdersare chargedagainst
this man. The first are said to have
been committed in order to secure in
surance money; those done later were
dictated by the necessity of circumstances,
or because of the gradually charging in
nate depravity of the man. If all of which
he is accused is true, or only half OF
it, Holmes stands revealed as moral
moEstTosity, a fin de steele Frankenstein,
whose equal the world fortunately has
but rarely seen, and, it is to be hoped, may
not often be called upon to contemplate.
Here is an instance in which intellect
and education served only base purposes,
and tie pessiniist will point to it no doubt
as corroborative of his oft-repeated as
sertion that education merely serves to
warp the human nature. But as theexceptiOn
always points the rule, so such character
as Holmes merely accentuates the gen.

KNIGHTS or HONOR FLOAT.

Noticeable among the many
beautiful floats, was that of the
knights of Honor, The group on
the front Of the float represented a
Knight clad in armor, with sword
and shield, protecting family con-
ssting of mother and children, en-
blematical Of the care and protec-
tion given the family Of member
who has been wise enough in his
lie to provide for bis loved ones af-
ter his earthly labors are over, The
rear Of the float, separated IRON
the front by drapery, represented
an initiation scene in the lodge
room Of the Brownies. This noble
Order Is doing great good. 1t has

Texarkana 1000, and over 81 mil

Negroes Guilty OF Brutal Crime
Hanged in Short order

St. Louis, April pa special to the
Republic from Greenville Ala, says:
Two men and three women were

Watts Murphy, a young man Of prom
inence. They were John Rather, Zeb
Galley, Martha Greene, Alice Greene
and Mary Deane. Another negro, who
was also implica ted made his escape.
The murder of young Murphy was
most brutal. One of the negroes con-
fessed and an examination of the place
where they burned the mans body re-
vealed the teeth, liver and heart, which
failed to burn. The confession was
made by Rather, who implicated the
others. A posse Of men who had charge

of instant death was halted.
Reports say there We're about 100 men

made short work of it. Taking the

Executive Committee Has Several Dis.
putes Awaiting Settlement.

DEfeS A"ait1nS SetfiefnGul.
Indianapolis, April 22-An important
meeting Of the executive council Of the
American Federation Of Labor opened
here today. The council is composed Of
John Mcbride, president; P. ]. Mcclure,
first vice president; James Duncan, sec
ond vice PRESIDENT Rhody Kenehan,
third vice president; Thomas J. Elder
kin, fourth vice president; John B. Len
non, treasurer; August McChaith, sec
retary. A large amount of important
questions demand Immediate consider
alton and action and the body will prob
ably be in session throughout the week.
First and foremost is the reported de-
sire on the part of President Mcbride
to be relieved Of the duties of his office.
For nearly two months he has been at
Hot Springs, Ark, endeavoring to re-
cuperate from serious illness, but his
condition has not materially improved,
and 1t Is evident that he is unable to
stand the amount of travel required OF
the chief officer Of the federation. While
silent on the subject himself, however.
his friends deny that his resignation
has been prepared. Among the matters
to be discussed is the schism in the
ranks of the National Brotherhood of
Painters and Decorators, the disagree
ment between the Society Of Carpenters
and the Amalgamated Society of Car
penters, the trouble between the Brew
ers' National Union and Local Union
No. is of Chicago, the conflict between
the fedora ton and the National Asso-
citation Of Tin, Sheet Iron and Cornice
Workers, and the charges that the last
state convention Of the Illinois Fedora
ton was Illegally constituted.

Litigation Caused by the Creation

SPECIAL TERM OF THE COURT
The Hearing Directly Upon the Question
OF Issuing Permanent Injunction
Mail Robber Convicted.

Boise, April 23.-The anticipated con-
test over the action OF the legislature
i'll wiping Alturas ard Logan counties
off the map and creating 1herefrom the
counties Of Blaine and Lincoln, has
been inaugurated in the supreme court
Two suits were begun today. One
is entitled Robert Wright VS.. the hoard
OF commissioners Of Logan county.
Wright asks a mandamus compelling
the board TO meet and act upon a bill
which he filed against Logan before the
acts We're passed. In the other case the
Bellevue Water Company seeks to have
Judge Stockslager prohibited from
holding court at Shoshone, which is
the county seat of Lincoln. The com
pany had a case pending in Logan and
it holds that the county of Lincoln does
not legally exist. 1t is understood that
a special term Of the supreme court
will be held in June to consider the
matter. The issuance of alternative
Writs was dispensed with and the hear
ing will be directly upon the question
of permanent injunction.
At Caldwell today Judge Richards
sentenced George Wheeler, convicted
of cattle stealing, to five years In the
penitentiary.
MAIL ROBBER CONVICTED.
In the federal court George w. Clark
was today convicted of robbing the
mails on the Meadows on the Indian
Valley route, where he was sontract-
or. He was captured by means Of &
decoy package sent through BY Inspect

plundered the mails OF large quantities
OF goods during the winter. The peo-

Company to Jay Gould and Russell Sage

Mr.. Choate said that within 10 months
after the trust was constituted, the
trustees took the three millions Of stock

use. The bringing in Of these defen-

unnecessary because the action was
against those two trustees personally
