Judge Kcysor's Plain Talk tn DcpOs-
TORS OF n Dcfmnct nnnk.

w " " WI
Judge Keysor yesteiday refused to grant
the motion filed by attorneys representing
some of the depositors in the Nebraska
Savings and Exchange bank, asking for the
removal of William X. Potter, receiver. The
removal was asked on the ground that Pot
ter was and is a stockholaer in the bank
and at the time of its failure was cashier
Oh the institution.
In passing upon the motion Judge keyS0r,
took occasion to express himself rather
freely on the subject matter of the motion.
The same matter has been before Judge
Keysor almost constantly for the past two
years, and a great many conferences have
been held between the court and the in
dividual depositors, as well as between the
court and the receiver, so that the judge
has become thoroughly familiar with both
sides of the case.
Judge Keysor said he had become satisfied
from PERSONAL investigation that the state
ments made about MIR. Potter, charging him
with sacrificing the interests of the deposit
ors in order to protect the interests of the
stockholders, were absolutely without found =
ton. He charged that the depOsitors had
for a long time been making a fight on
the receiver which was without reason or
foundation in fact and that this had been
carried to such an extent that the interests
of the depositorS were being injured by
themselves. The judge said it IVES impossible
for the receiver of any bank to sell the
assets of a defunct institution at forced sale
and realize anything like their real value.
He reminded the depositors that after the
assets were sold, the only recourse would
be to secure a Judgment against the stock
holders. He called attention to the fact
that the large majority of the stockholders
of the bank were either nonresidents or
without means, so that a judgment against
them would not be worth much.
In conclusion Judge Keysor said that Mr..
Potter had been appointed by Judge DutIie
and 1t was we'll known at the time that he
was an officer in the bank. He said he would
not remove him and appoint another man and
| thereby establish a precedent for removing
receivers prOmiscuously.

pit twenty nine feet below, dragging
three third-class cars after it. AT the
same moment another explosion wrecked

cue, and it fell into the pit also. Both
engineers, one fireman, one conductor and
seven soldiers We're killed and three pas

Simultaneously with the explosion the
insurgents opened fire on the train, seri-

THE TYLER MOB CASE.
The Accused Men Surrender-The
Lindale NcighbOrhOOd Indignant.

Tyler, Tex, June 11.-(Special)-Dr.
H. L. Tate, eX-representative of this
county in the state legislature, and others,
charged with the murder of Bill Jones,
are in town today and will surrender to
the sheriff tomorrow, when an examining
trial will be accorded them at once. A
large number of the citizens of Lindale
are indignant at this prosecution being in
stituted, and the reporter is informed
that if it is prosecuted to finish a de-
mand will be made for the prosecution
of all who took part in the execution of
Henry Hilliard, who was burned at the
stake here in October, 1895.
In that event large number of the
most prominent people in east Texas will
be involved. The Lindale people claim
that the murder of old man Stewart was
a more atrocious crime than the murder
and outrage of the lady by the negro, Hill
lard, that the crime of Joues was
calmly deliberated upon for months pre-
vious to the killing. when billiards.
crime was committed upon the spur of
the moment. While majority of repre-
sentative citizens of this place condemn
the killing of Jones. there is also large
part who either uphold the mob or say
nothing against it. Trouble is expected
in the event that the participants in the
killing of Jones are remanded without
bail, which is likely.

Mr.. Ffshback Interviewed.

New York, June 9-George w. Fish
back, secretary of the commission ap-
pointed to investigate the death of DR..
Ruiz in Cuba, arrived here tonight from
Washington. In an interview with rep
resentative of the Associated Press re-
garding the work of the commission, Mr..
Fishback said:
Gen. Lees personal reports needs no
comment. | wish to say, however, | had
absolutely nothing to do with its prema-
ture publication. The statement that the
report was given to my personal charge
might lead to some misrepresentation rs
to my connection with this matter. The
fact is that Gen. Lee read his report to
Mr. Calhoun and myself on June 2 in
Havana and then sealed it up with the
consulate seal. That seal was broken for
the first time today by Judge Day. had
no copy of the report, therefore it would
have been impossible for me to furnish
an exact transcription.
Mr.. Calhoun's report practically en-
bodies the same conclusions as those in
Gen. Lees personal report. 1t could not
do otherwise after an impartial review of
the case. Mr.. Calhoun's conversation
with President Mckinley was confined
almost entirely to verbal explanations of
the Ruiz matter. Mr. Calhoun will re.
turn to Washington next week and then
will thoroughly discuss the general condi.
ton of Cuba with the president

THE MOB PACIFIED.
A Special Term of Court Will Try
the Two Alabama Rapists.

Huntsville, Ala, June 1.-THE trouble
and worry caused by the presence of the
two rapists, Thompson and Neville. seems
to be almost over. Sheriff Ryan of Nor
gan county, with a committee-of promi-
nent citizens, arrived here today, bringing
a petition which was presented to Circuit
Judge III. G. Speake, asking that he call
special term of court and give the
negroes the quickest trial possible. The
petition was signed by from 500 to 1000
citizens of Morgan county without a mo-
ment's hesitation. Judge Speake gave in
structions that a special term of court he
called. The court can not be held for
thirty days yet, as it has to be advertised
for that length of time
Sheriff Ryan said tonight:
Il think this ends the trouble. What
my people asked for they have been
given, and l am sure they will not GO
back on their words. If the negroes are
tried and sentenced to death the case will
not be interfered with. If they are ac-
quilted or sentenced to life imprisonment
the mob will hang them"
