The Deaths Of Mr.. and Mrs. Bar
kett.
From the Wate,ee Messenger

The subjoincd statements concerning
the uotimely deaths of Mr.. and Mr..
w J. Burkett are published With pleas
ure. We would state, in this connec-
ton, however, that we lave '!nsluu-
ated'' nothing, as Mr.. McMauus
charges, but published what seemed to
be we'll authenticated rumoT. We
stated distinctly that lit is reported
that they died 'uuder very suspicious
circumstances" We DO not deem it
proper to 60 into details in newspaper
concerning these reports, bu: will very
readily give Mr.. McManus OF any Que
else interested our authority, whenever
demanded privately. We sympathze
very much with Mr.. McMauus in his
sad afflictiou, aud hope that bis stste-
ment together with tina: made MIR j
K. DuPre will put "quletus' to these
reports, but from all we've heard 1t
would seem that an investigation is
emineatly 10 order It will be observ-
that Mr.. DuPre is silent, whether in-
teptionally or not, as to what their first
sickness was aud what brought it on
If the reports are not true, aud no
attempt has beeu made to shield
criminal, then great injustice has
been done the deceased couple and their
families, and for the sake OF all parties
coucerped We hope there is no fouoda-
ton for the damaging rumors

ferred to:
