Blair and His Crime.

1t will be remembered that Capt.
John l.. Bomar was killed on the
public square, in this city, on the
9TH day of last February by II.
Clay Turner and Thomas Blair.
Bomar had repeatedly threatened
to kill Turner, and on the day of
the tragedy Bomar followed Turner
and began the shooting. Blair aud
John Mckenzie, both of Morgan
county, were walking across the
street with Turner, and both Tur-
ner and Blair shot Bomar several
times, killing him almost instantly.
The evidence as to the part Nc
Kenzie took in the tragedy was
conflicting, no positive proof being
adduced that he did any shooting.
Turner was acquitted at the en-
aiming trial, as it was clearly
shown that he acted in self-defense.
Blair and Mckenzie were held over
on a bond of $4,000, but the grand
Jury failed to bring an indictment
against them.
The feeling against them at the
time was intense, and much sur
prise was expressed when the grand
jury failed to indict them.
Blair came here several days ago
and in q resort "Over the Rhine
one night last week he shot at n
man named Day. He was arrested
and placed in Jail to await his eX-
aiming trial. This last offense
no doubt revived the feeling against
him, but those who participated IN
the lynching kept their secret WE'LL
and the news of the hanging was Il
surprise to most of our people.
1t was intensely cold when Blair
was taken from Jail. He was with
out hat, coat or shoes.
No blame can be attached to
.Jailor Best, who was taken COM
pletely by surprise. Before releas-
ing him the mob took his pistols
from him. Mr.. Best says he has
been i'm office four years, and has

graduating himself that he would

BOMAR'S AVENGERS.
Thomas Blair, One Of Capt. j. L.
BOmar's Slayers,
Taken Prom jail BY a Mob at 2 O'clock
Tuesday Morning and Hanged.
JAILER BEST ovERPowERED.

"Murder may pass unpunish'd for a time,
But tardy justice will o'ertake the crime. -
-
When the citizens of Mt. Ster-
ling awoke yesterday morning they
we're startled by the news that Tom
Blair, one of the slayers of Capt.
J. j., Bomar, had been taken from
the county Jail by mob and hang
cd. to the coal road trestle.
About 2 o'clock yesterday morn
ing,a mob composed of about 25
men went quietly to the county
Jail and effected an entrance into
the office, whore Jaier Best was
sleeping all unconscious of pending
trouble.
He was rudely awakened by three
masked men, who demanded the
keys to the Jail. While the three
men held him another member Of
the party searched his clothing
for the keys, and finally found
them under his pillow. The men
guarded the jailer whlleothor NOM
bers of the party went into the Jail
corridor, unlocked the door and
seized Blair, who evidently real
lied his danger and fought desper-
ately. He was overpowered after
he had been terribly beaten about
the head and face, and he was
dragged without ceremony to the
coal road trestle.
Arriving there he was asked why
he took part in the killing of
Capt. Bomar. He protested that
he did not come to this city for the
purpose of killing Bomar, but when
the shooting began in that memoir
able tragedy he shot Bomar to save
himself.
Blair was asked if he received
any money to come here and assist
in the killing of Bomar. He said
positively that he did not. The
mob then took him up on the tres
tie, and after allowing him to pray
the rope was placed around his
neck and he was swung off into
eternity.
The mob then quietly dispersed.
On his way to the trestle he re-
peatedly called on the Lord to have
mercy on his soul, and asked all
present to pray for him.

FREE COINAGE OF
SILVER.

The free and unlimited coinage of
silver, the product of American mines,
at the old ratio Of I6 Of silver to I Of
gold, is the only solution of and
remedy for the disturbed and unsatis-
factory condition of trade, manufac-
ture and general business Of the coun-
try. The surreptitious act Of 1875,
divorcing silver and gold in our none
tary system, was a crime of untold
magnitude. 1t was the rankest kind
of class legislation in favor Of the
wealthy against the producers of
wealth, and hostile to the prosperity
Of the United States. 1t was an act
Of treason because done at the instance
Of European syndicate and for bride
money, "giving aid and comfort to
our country's enemies" To shield
the guilty parties, the well authenti-
Gated facts, often published, have been
vigorously denied.
The Enquirer will continue to ex-
pose this objectionable crime until
right and justice are done the people
by the full restoration Of silver to its
old companionship with gold. We
need the assistance Of the people in
disseminating the truth, to which end
we invite all in your selection Of pa
pers for the coming season to include

Tom Blair.

News has just reached us that
Thomas Blair, our counuyman, was
recently incarcerated in the Mont
gomery county jail for shooting at
without wounding, his cousin Dics
Day, and while in jail awaiting the
action Of the law, some of Mt.
Sterling's citizens who are coward
ly outlaws and unprincipled, de-
based ticnds, and without any noisy
protest from the jailer, took Blair
from the Jail and murdered him by
hanging him. Such conduct is n
sad commentary on the civilization
of the citizenship Of Montgomery
county. Such people who would
either perpetrate or wink at such
an abominable deed, have no re-
gard for either human or divine
law, and are utterly oblivious to
the existence of human rights.
This is not the first mountain
man that n Montgomery mob has
murdered, and VIC have no reason,
Judging from their state of feeling
towards us and their past conduct,
that it will be the last. We warn
Morgan men to steer clear Of Mt.
Sterling if they are likely to take a
drink and commit a trivial otiense
that will give the loeches of the
law there an excuse to take them
into custody; and in fact, we do
not believe that the most devout
Morgan man is safe in town; such
is the hatred of a portion Of her cit
liens for our people in general.
Our people have extensively patron
izod Mt. Sterling's banks and mer-
chants, and many of them have
sorely suffered 10y it, and we should
boycott a town where public senti-
ment has not reached that high
standard in it that will guarantee
to even a Morgan citizen fair and
impartial trial under the form of
law for any breach of our statutes.
If the good people of Montgom-
cry, and there are many of them,
fail to ferret out the perpetrators of
this heinous crime and punish them
according to law, the good and bad
people Of Morgan will in every way
hold them responsible for their
failure to vindicate the law and
their own good name.
We do not claim that Tom Blair
was free from short comings, but
we do know that he was brave,
honest man, and as true friend as
ever wore q hat. He was made of
such material that he would not
be a party to such dastardly muir
der as the sneaking, cowardly
scoundrels were guilty of when they
hung him. Tom Blair left host
of friends in Morgan who mourn
his untimely taking off, and the
foulness of it, and who are more
than likely TO avenge his murder.
We say let no guilty man escape.
Messenger.

he illustrates dog, ""bug, " tree" and
