To the Editor OF The Post.
a few days ago emphasized by large
type, the following sentence appeared in
The Houston Pest. I'm IA recent instance
in Waller county" mob violence was used
for the suppression of testimony.
We, OF Waller county, who had inno-
Gently believed that in this Instance mob
violence had been used TO punish the muir
derer OF three persons, two of whom had
been raped, one of these being mere child;
we. who had rescued the charred remains
OF the old man and the young woman from
the greed of hogs. and had drawn with
horror and Indignation the body OF the
little girl from the WELL we we're not a
little surprised TO learn that this colo
caust OF carnage and lust counted for moth
ing, was in fact not worth mentioning; that
the true motive for the lynching of the
perpetrators OF this fiepdish crime was
simply the suppression of testimony"
our surprise at this complete suppress
sion of the actual facts and assumption of
improved motives grew into sheer amaze
ment when Ne discovered that it formed
part of the solemn message 10 the legis-
lature from the governor of our State
Mob violence" as defined by our gov
ernor on this occasion consists In the legal
" unauthorized judging and Furnishing of
presumed crimes II can not be denied that
such legally unauthorized Judgment and
punishment on the part of our people is
usually pronounced and inflicted BY the
outraged moral sense of good citizens. And
IT is, no doubt. IN the same way. the out
ragged moral sense of our governor that
mas induced him on the strength Of pri-
vate misrepresentation and without legal
sanction TO pronounce judgment and in
flict public chatisement On our county.
We hope that on calm consideration his
legally trained sense of justice will not
fail to rectify. so far as in his power. the
serious damage that must accrue to a
county which is accused by him of having
strung No six men on the same tree for
the mere suppression of testimony"

The only point of question comes when
the school property is being appraised.
Will the school buildings that were built

SHE WAS EXCITED.
Mrs. Feeley Thought Her $500 Had
Been Stolen.
Finally Found by Detective Between
Ticks Of Bed.

There was lots of excitement i'm the
home of Ann Feeley, l54 Regent avenue,
yesterday, and it required the services of
Police Captain Leavitt and detective
TO restore peace and happiness. The cause
of the trouble was $500, which was miss.
ing when Mrs. Feeley woke up yesterday
morning. She supposed that a thief had
entered her home during the night and
had stolen her money. The doors and
windows were examined for traces of bur-
glars, but none could be found. OF course
Mrs. Feeley was excited and grew more so
as the day wore on. She enlisted the SER
vices of Captain Leavitt, who called for a
detective, and then both officials went to
the house, and began to turn everything
upside down. They had about given up
the job when the detective pulled tick
from one of Mrs. Feeley's son S bed, when
lol there lay the wad of grecnbacks, and
all was forgiven but not forgotten. Any
one who lays hands on the $500 tonight
will have to get it out of the vault of a
bank on Weybosset street.

port Heavily In Debt.

Detective Rice and Sergeant Griffith, of
the Newport police left at II O'Clock this
morning for Chicago. They will bring
back with them Paymaster Corwinc, now

inent in addition to the 5000 received
from him at the time of his arrest The
police have succeeded in getting an addi-
tional Sl9i0 from Mrs Corwine at Washing

which he cashed in the name of govern
ment before he left Newport
Ii is expected that Mrs. Corwine will
meet her husband at New York and re-
turn with him TO this city. The naval
authorities here have decided that the
case is one for the United States court
and he will therefore be tried first by
them after which he will be given over to
the civil authorities. Ii was also learned
