city, two men, heavily bearded, boarded |
the train and took up their stand on the
rear platform. After the conductor had
checked up the train he reached the
platform, only to find pistol at either
SIDE of his head. They demanded that
he stop the train. lie declined to do so
and broke and ran. He succeeded in
getting the lead and dashed through
the train, with the two robbers in close
pursuit. He had not gone half the
length of the first car when the fore
most robber shot at him, bringing him '
TO the floor with a pistol wound in his
right arm.

pulled the bell cord and the train was q

Charged with Assassination.

W. V. Holden, living about sixteen
miles south of Canton, was placed UNI
der arrest last week charged with the
assassination of his cousin, jim Chap
man, near Madison. Holden is a first
cousin of Chapman, and lives on the
same farm, their homes being half a
mile apart. Chapman was shot from
ambush while engaged in feeding his
horse The only evidence against the
accused seems to be the fact that his
shoes measure the same as the tracks
of the assassin, Holden claims he can
prove an alibi He says he and Chap
man have always been on the most
friendly terms, and that he thinks Chap
man was killed for the purpose of rob-
berry as he was known to have had SIS |
On his person just before the killing,
which was not found.

confirmatory of the report cabled from
Rio De Janeiro via London to the ef-
feet that President Moraes has issued a
decree declaring martial law for per-
iod of thirty days. Nevertheless the re-
port is credited in diplomatic circles.
If there was evidence of the existence
of political conspiracy in connection
with the recent attempt on the life of
the President of the Brazilian Republic
as the cable states, suspension Of civil
rights, it is pointed out, would be neces-
sary TO accomplish the arrest of any
members of the House of Deputies or
the Senate who might be implicated in
the conspiracy.
The Constitution of Brazil gives the
members of Congress immunity from
arrest during the sessions. except by the
direction of the branch of the Legisla-
ture TO which they may be members. To
procure such an order of arrest from
Congress would be a long process, and
i'll addition would infiame popular ex-
citement by the precipitation of bitter
and acrimonious debate. This being the
case, as there was reasonable ground
for the belief that many Of the radical
members of Congress were involved IN
the conspiracy, the only way in which
they could be summarily dealt with
would be to declare martial law.
This would not only place in the hands
of tho Government the weapons neces-
sary to bring the conspirators to justice,
but the very assumption of this excep-
t:onal authority would tend to
crush the conspiracy and allay the ex-
citement.
That the conspiracy is directly trace
able to the existing political divisions
in Brazil, it is said, is further IN
creased by the threatened resignation
of the prefect of police, who is a proml-
nent Radical or Jacobin.
