TALK OF LYNCHING.
Oheyburne Falls Citizens Wrought Up
Over Murder OF Mrs. McCioud.

sheyburne Falls Citizens Wrought Up
over Murder OF Mrs. McCioud.
shelburne Falls, Mass, Jan. 12.-The
excitement caused by the murder OF Mrs.
Hattie T.. McCloud has not abated In the
least, but rather seems TO increase as the
mystery surrounding the case deepens'
The chain OF evidence against certain
PARTIES is being frightened, but 1t cannon
be said that the end is In sight.
One OF the developments of the day Is
the talk of lynching i'm case IL should bo
found that local parties committed the
crime. A sermon preached by Rev. w
II. Ashley Sunday night has excited
much comment. In speaking OF man
who would commit such crime he said:
"lf a rope was thrown around such a
mans neck and he was pulled up along
side a telephone pole. such death woulo
not end his existence. Justice demands
q hell for such a man. But the law Is
imperative. The law is now largely usee
TO defend the guilty"
The officers have reached the conclu
sion that the crime was committed pS
two men. 1t is certain that an outrage
was committed, and there is reason e
think that the assailants of the woman
did not believe she was dead or dyinI
when she was left in the holloW.
1t il too early yet to give names, but
is believed that the officers are tighten
ing the chain of evidence about one o
more men who are likely to be arrested
II is.practically certain that the murde
was committed at Z :15 O'Clock.

The lobby is not working openly, how

The most feasible and sensible scheme, the

Within the next few weeks the lobby will
have gone as far as it can go in the work

though IL should be n matter or simple
arithmetic The question which congress
will have 10 settle at once or abandon the
roads to the swindlers who have stolen
millions from tho people and the govern
ment Is method by which the debt of the
swindl.ng companies can be collected.
For long years all sorts OF propositions
have been before congress. The schemes
for settlement without undue severity to-
ward the thieves who have had the roads
in their control have been almost as the
sands of the sea. 1t Is wonderful, the ten
derness that congressman have exhibited
for the Huntington crowd. Every one OF
the plans has fallen on account of Disagree
ment or failure to act During the iaso
congress 1t seemed as though the secret
power exercised by the swindlers and de-
faulters was at an end.
A complicated bill for an amicable ar
rangement apparently had prospect OF
success The head and front OF the wreck
ers' gang appeared on the scene. He was
venerable in appearance, but alert and cum
ming, as when he and his pals conceived
the gigantic scheme of securing congress
sional assistance TO swindle the people out
of scores of millions of dollars, Hunting
ton passed among the congressman as
| master among his servants. No one was
| too exalted TO do him reverence. The first
thing he did was to trample upon the bill
| that was before congress. He stamped it
| ont of existence Then there was pre-
tense Of committee investigation. Hunt
ington was used to that sort Of thing. he
simply laughed In the faces of the investi-
gators. He taunted them, and they took IL
without retort. The hearings ended, and
Huntington was master of the situation, as
he had been all the time.
The time has now arrived when the gov
ernment must act or abandon the wnole
business, pay an Indebtedness for which II
stands security and lose anywhere from
1920. 900. 600 to 5000, 900, 900. 1t has beer
thus variously estimated In speeches de
liyered recently in the senate. Senator Pet
tigrew of South Dakota, who has made by
far the most fetching speech on the SUB
ject, advocates the foreclosure of the mort
cages, the payment of interest and othel
Indebtedness due and the requirement o
the ownership of the roads by the govern
ment. The only reply that Is worthy O
the name that has been made hy the oppo
nents of this viaw is that roads owned ant
operated by the governments OF Europe I'm
pose higher rates on the public than thos
which are operated by private individuals
Any who are informed on this suDJec
know that this Ia not generally true; but
as Mr.. Pettigrew said, the European road
are operated for the purpose of securing
great revenue for the governments ownin
them, ard they are therefore no criterio
by which TO estimate the rates this govern
ment would be compelled to adopt. II
showed, also, that it would be impossibl
for the government to conduct the road
moro thoroughly inimical to tho publ
interests than the present managers ha
conducted them.
Tho history Of these roads Is too vol'
minous to be recounted. 1t is we'll know
