1t appears that Dreyfus's enemies are
resorting to the ruse of the small boy,
who seeing that his opponent had the
best argument promptly turned In and
licked him. The attempted assassination
of NJ. Labor, Dreyfus's counsel, is a
pretty strong evidence of the weakness
of the charges against the late prisoner
of Devils Island.

Mrs. Fem was so far recovered from
the shock and wound as to be able to be
present at her husbands funeral. She
was united in marriage to the deceased
only little more than year ago.
The most serious case is that Of Mrs.
Eastwood. Her condition since the
shooting has been critical, but yesterday
she was getting along nicely.
An inquest was held Tuesday evening
in the law Office of Attorney w. II. Bliss.
Justice of the Peace o. P. Moore, States
Attorney Fish and Mr.. Bliss heard the
testimony of witnesses. The first wit
ness was F. r. Stone, whose story has
been given above. Then came DR.. E. H.
Martin, DIR. d. G. Noble and DR.. E. p.
Russell, who attended the wound of
Eastwood at the Jail Tuesday morning.
They stated that the ball entered East
woods body two and one.half inches
below the left nipple and one-half inch to
the right of same and passed between the
third and fourth rib. When Eastwood
was being put under the influence of
ether he stated that he intended to have
done them all.
The next witness examined was Night
Waterman G. N. Dickinson, who went
up to the home of Eastwood's step
mother, Mrs. Eastwood, on Seminary
street, where he obtained satche! be-
longing to Eastwood, which he took for
safekeeping, and on examining the con-
tents he found note to the stepmother.
The note read as follows:
"This is the check to my trunk at the depot.
1t is yours"
(Signed) FRED.
The note was folded and on the out
side was written MRS. S. Eastwood. -
There was B. & NJ. check and a 81
bill. The former showed that it had been
checked from Greenfield, Mass.
Miss Julian and Samantha Holman
then told how Eastwood came to their
door which adioined the room occupied
by Mr. Fem and asked for Mrs. Fem
her that her mother was down at her
brothers, e. G. Browns, and wanted to
see her. Mr.. and Mrs. Fem got up and
dressed, and as they came out of the
front door they had struggle, or at
least the Misses Holman think they did,
with Eastwood, and heard the report of
two shots. one killing Mr.. Fem and the
other wounding Mrs. Fem.
Frank Sheppard and John Dyer were in
that vicinity aid FASTENED to the scene.
After Mr.. Fem was carried into the
house they went to the other part of the
house, and when they passed the front
door Mr.. Dyer looked out and was called
to come out. He was about to start
when Mr. Sheppard pulled him back and
told him not to 60 out there for target,
as they were sure it was Eastwood
They then shut the door. AS Mrs. Fem
wanted to see her brother, Mr.. Brown
Mr.. Dyer and Mr.. Sheppard went through
the back door of the house and acros:
the garden to Mr.. Browns and raped al
the door. which was answered by Con
stable Charles Seeley, who told then
that it was not safe for them to 60 out
They then left and were nearly up tC
the church, where they heard team
which stopped and asked them If tha

The other witnesses were w. G. Dan
yew Frank Lavonche, E. G. Brown, L
o. Allen, Charles Seely, II. Langworthy
and James Condor, whose testimony wal
largely corroborative.

Quickly as Judge Lynch Does.
Solicitor General Bob Lewis OF the
Northern circuit came over from Sparta
couple of days ago, and after he had
finished up his legal duties in the Unit
ed States court he chatted with his
friends at the Brown House. He is al
ways jolly and good humored, and is
never alone. Those people whom he
does not know know him, and he always
has company.

time and giving themselves lots of worry
trying to solve the lynching problem. If
had had half as much sense when [ was
In the legislature as have now would
have introduced and had passed bill
that would have settled the thing forever.
Now history repeats itself. Our tore
fathers had as manv troubles with out
la VS. as we are having, and we have rea-
son to believe they managed to get
along pretty we'll. In the records of the
superior court of Hancock county is the
story of the cOunty's first hanging. Ii
occurred in 1886. 1t shows the despatch
with which courts acted in those DAYS:
and | presume that if they had not acted
promptly they would not have been able
to put down criminals as successfully as
they did. Jim Query alias Jim Galy, d
white man, was charged with murder.
The jury tried him and found him guilty,
returning this verdict:
:" We, the jury, find the defendant
guilty, and recommend him to the mercy
of God only
The court then passed this sentence:
WhereupOn, it is ordered and ad-
judged that the prisoner be taken from
the court Immediately and hanged by the
neck until dead, and may God have mer.
cy upon his sonl.'
Below this is the following entry
made by tbs CLERK of the court.
80 hereupOn the sentence of the court
was promptly executed
- Now, all this suggests to me, :" con.
tinued Solicitor Lewis, that the way
to do the people who commit the crime
for which we lynch is to catch them.
when it shall be the duty of the nearest
sheriff, justice of the peace or othe cOun-
ty or state official to summon a iury OF
men, who shall at once ear the
case. The prisoner shall have at least
six peremptory challenges and the state
none.
The evidence may be taken in private
and submitted to the twelve remaining
Jurors, and if they find that they have
the right man and that he is guilty as
accused ne shall be hanged within Il
hours
. In other words, We might as well le-
galize Iynching, because that is tho only
s'lution of The problem. Wherever that
particular CRIME is committed quick pan.

whether it be in Georgia or elsewhere,
