JOINTISTS' NEW TACK.
Beat and Threaten Witnesses
Who Testify Against Them

The Topeka jointists have now COM
meneed a plan Of Intimidation The
system IN vogue by which they were
encouraged has made them bold and
any one who dares to testify against
them Is III danger. The IawIess element
CT Topeka should be taught a few les
sons
Saturday afternoon after the trials OF
four OF the iointists in which all were
found guilty, G. W. Stefy, one of the
jointists as s.spotters,r was followed
from the police station by Homer
Gregg, enc Of the iointists- Gregg was
joined by George Buford, anther joint
ist and eoIered bruiser-. and when they
reached the Crawford fats. On Fifth
street, they attacked SteEy. taking his
revolver away from him and beating
MIN over the head with It. They then
went Co the police station and gave
themselves I'D, but were soon released
on bond
This is the third attack the 5cfntists
have made upon the men VINO have Sc
cured evidence against them during the
past week
Ed Ryan struck A. G. Garrett and 8
Kline attacked L. A. Phipps. Kline and
Ryan are both we'll known jointists.
Bt1fOrd has been at this kind Of work
before and II is nothing new 10 Ryan
or Kline
The police know the desperate charac-
ter or the j0intists and should try to
protect the witnesses from them As
long the jgint1Stz are allowed the privi-
Iage OF half killing the witnesses for the
city, It will be impossible to close the
joints because no one viii testify
against them for fear of losing his life
