Mr.. Bryan'u reception 10 Mexico


"Mr. Brysn's trip through Mexico
was like q triumphal entry from begin
ming to end" said ex-Gov. Crittenden.
sHe was accorded a welcome from the
time he entered the country until he
left, such as no private citizen OF any
country ever received there. The only
way I can describe it is by saying that
the 500 miles from NeuavO Laredo TO
the CITY of Mexico seemed like one
long road, lighted in honor Of the oc-
casion and walled in on either side by
crowds Of people, shouting, dancing
and throwing flowers. When General
Grant visited Mexico on his tour
around the world, the nation and its
people fairly outdid themselves in en-
pertaining him. People who saw those
entertainments and who have seen for
eiQn princes and potentstes received
in the capitaI Of the Montezumss for
wears past declare that the reception
given Mr.. Bryan throughout the cOun-
| try was equal TO, and in some respects
surpassed, all these.
at was q constant round OF olnnersI
receptions and ovstions. 1 have never
seen anything like it before, and / new
I CT expect to see anything that Wli
equal it again. Through it sl Mr.
BRYAN sustained that same modest
dignity and gentle manner that IS 50
characteristic Of him, and not once
did he seem to loose sight Of the fact
that he was an American citizen II
was an ovation that might easily have
l tn-ned the heads Of some men"

Mrs. Edwin LANCE, who lives across the
street from the Collins home, said she
knew the Collins family intimately and she
thought John was very affectionate son
and brother. John and his father were
very much together and seemed like
chums. Mrs. LANCE had never seen or
hearo anything about John to lead her
to believe he was avaricious, cruel or any
thing except tender-hearted and affection
ate. Mr.. Collins told her once that ne
always took the outer edge of the side

Mrs. LANCE said she heard in Lawrence

Mrs. LANCE said she had visited John in
jail and had never seen anything in his
conduct to indicate that he fe.t responsible

On cross-examination Mrs. LANCE said
she had talked with John great deal i'm
mediately after his fathers murder and he
never limited to her about the negroes

were literally ground TO pieces. Engineer
Smith, OF the express, in an interview.
said:
81 could see nothing ahead Of me, but !
thought the place looked bad, and blew my
whistle. / had let up on the whistle when
l heard my fireman give a yell He did
not call for brakes, but 1 slapped on the
air the minute 1 heard him. He had seen
a man beside the track. though he had
not seen anyone struck. A moment after
1 applied the brakes saw man shoot
up into the air on my side of the cab. He
was as high as the srnokestack when saw
him. He came down on the freight train,
which was running along on that side, and
was carried a mile before he fell OF. My
train stopped in about two train lengths
and the sight that l saw when l got out
was the most horrible I have ever wit
messed. The dead and mangled were lying
on both sides of the track. just as they
had been thrown. did not see them until
after We had struck them. 1 did not see
them come on the track, and until my fire.
