The LynchIng Of the spicer Murderers
WIN Clear the surviving suspects.
BISMARCK. N. D., Nov. 16-An In
teresting legal question Is presented by
the lynchihgr OF three of the Spicer
murderers. Two OF the men. Holytrack
and ireland. were the states witnesses,
and without their testimony the state
has no case against the two surviving
suspects. Black Hawk and Defender.
There is, therefore, no possibility or
convicting them before any tribunal, for
the reason that the states witnesses
self confessed accomplices Of the MUIR
derer, are dead AT the coming term OF
court. when the two men are arraigned
Tor trial they must be discharged.
The feeling against Black Hawk has
been intensified by the report that Cou-
dot confessed before his hanging that
Black Hawk and Defender were con-
cerned In the crime. IL has been the
opinion Of a large number of people IN
Emmons county that Black Hawk was
the inseigator Of the crime.
If he is discharged. Il is predicted
that unless he has an escort out OF the
county he will share the fate Of his
comrades in crime. Defender, the other
survivor, has consumption and probably
cannot live over n year 1t Is claimed
the majority of the lynchers were from
Wlnona. where the crime was commit
ted. but nothing certain is known.
The authorities at Fort Yates and the
Indian authorities at Standing ROCK
were not aware Of the lynching until
it was over Two Of the men lynched
we're wards Of the government, and the
lynching may bring about some action
by the government to discover by whom
thew were lynched.
