Have that Tie s.an is innocent We
have every reason to believe that the

the murder OF Buxton's daughter than

There have been conflicting state
ments made by the family which would
lead one to believe that there is 'some

It seems that the people Of Maryland
are not anxious TO arrest and convict
the real perpetrator. He Is too near

The colored people OF Maryland
should interest themselves in Kan
