The first regular meeting Of the Com

As the Quay case is one il which no Jcs-

DISGRACE OF KENTUCKY
Governor Bradley KeenIy DeplOres
the Busning of Coleman.
Action I'm the Case Depends UpOn
Public Sentiment in Fleming
County-The People of Maysviue
Dazed Mt the T'rnEedy, But Do Not
Favor Furnishing the Perpetrators.

LEXINGTON, KY, Dee Probably
there is no man in Kentucky who depIores
more deeply the burning of the negro
Coleman at the stake at Maysville yesterday
than Coy. William o. Bradley. After saving
the lives of four or five negroes who were
caught by mobs in various places in the
State he keenly feels the disgrace which
has come upon the Commonwealth in the
last days OF his administration He tele-
graDhed leading citizen and lawyer of
MaysviIle for particulars and for the state
of public feeling there
In an interview tonight he said that he
could do nothing under the law toward
bringing the murderers Of Coleman to JUS
tice, unless the local officers requested him
to offer a reward. The letter received in
response to his enquiries is official in char
acter, and that portion bearing on the
punishment of the offenders is as follows
Circuit Judge Harbeson had been as
sured by Isaac Van Arsdell, an old and re-
spected citizen Of Fleming county, broth
er-in-law of Mr.. Lashbrool1, husband OF
Ccleman's victim, that Mr. Lashbrook
would allow the law to take its course and
would be no party to melting a mob to
take ColemaH's life. The Judge relied Upon
this feeling that if Mr. Lashbrook took this
stand there would be no attempt at q mob.
and announced at the opening Of the court
in his charge TO the grand jury that he
had received this assurance. AS it turned
out Mr. Lashbrook headed the mob in all
its action and it was because Of this that
it was such horrible success.
After it was ever l heard Judge Harbe-
son tell Mr.. Lashbrook of the assurance he
had received, and he did not deny that
he had authorized his brother-in -in-law to
give it. His excuse was that the sight of
Coleman overpowered him and he could
not control himself further, and I have no
doubt but that this is true. The whole
thing took place in broad daylight and in
the presence Of thousands The parties
to it are known, Mr.. LashbroOk himself
being the leader But it viii be fruitless
to attempt any prosecution of them.
The people Of this community are as
good as the people of any other community
in the State or, for that matter, else
where, and they are shocked, and | may
say well night paralyzed at this grewsome
happening in their midst. But 1 am sat
isfied that they viii not take kindly 10
any attempt to hold the parties to the
transaction to any responsibility therefor.
