Conchita, and they shall find me no
more"
The last witness for the prosecution
finished his tale of woe, and feeble
effort was made at defense, while
Marguerite wondered idly if he really
were as great a ruffian as the evidence
seemed to imply. 3
Silence broken only by the buzzing
of flies fell upon the close room, as the
Judge seated himself in his wooden
chair and prepared to sum up. The
culprit, who was looking through the
window at his side, appeared to be the
only uninterested person present. A
deputy standing near was about to call
his attention to the proceedings when,
following for an instant the direction
of the prisoners gaze, he, too, became
absorbed.
The sheriff himself then glanced at
the window, through which short
barks were beginning to make them
selves heard, and after one look he
rushed to the door and commenced
hurridly descending the ladder. The
audience gazed at each other in amaze
ment for an instant, and with stimuli
taneous movement they took a hur-
ried survey of the yard. Having looked,
they wasted no more time, but, with
an expression of rapture stealing over
their faces, they made for the ladder,
accompanied by the prisoner and his
guard. ,s+.-...s-s ..-~s...->
The judge, being left alone in the
loft, frowned severely at the empty
benches, as he said with impressive
dignity: II guess this court will now
adjourn" Then he tucked up his
sleeves and made good time for the
yard. A vigorous struggle for the best
view took place between Marguerite
and himself. without either man being
in the least aware of the identity of the
person by whom he was jostled. Nor
would it have made any difference il

He had, then, instead of apologizing

matters to climax, and in less time

THE GOVERNORS REWARD.
He Offers it But Finds no Takers
The Reasons Assigned.

Gov. Clarke is now using the
power in him vested, by offering a
reward for evil doers, and the late
lynching in this state has called out
a proclamation and reward of ap-
prehension of those engaged in the
taking of lives not condemned by
law, or who have not even been
given a hearing before any author
rized tribunal. The governors in
tentions are good, but he is follow
ing a useless task when he Of
fers a reward for lynchers.
You can always notice that as soon
as lynching is had, the report is
seut out, that a mob of unknown
citizens were engaged in the affair,
when the truth is these mobs are
generally composed of men who do
not try to disguise their identity,
knowing that they will be protected
by the powers in office. The coroner
is the first who holds court on the
victim of the mobs wrath, and he
endorses on the papers that said
victim came to his death at the
hands OF unknown parties. and the
grand jury then takes these papers,
turns them over a time or two, and
no more is said or thought of the
matter.
We are satisfied that many men
are mobbed that deserve death,
and we are also satisfied that many
have been taken off that we're per-
haps innocent of the crime for
which they were made to give up
their lives We do not believe IN
mob law, and while we believe the
rewards offered will not catch a
single individual engaged In these
mobs, still we applaud the governor
for his good intentions.
