fiuence dictate to you. Closet yourself with
your conscience and your God and be
justified with no mortal interference with
your duty" The letter was an Enclosure in
another letter signed "a Woman" which
said: II can offer no explanation to the
inclosed message. I found 1t IN my writ

but me. / send it to you as / feel I must
respect what is a great mystery to me-"
Neither of the letters bore a date or the
name of the town from which 1T was
mailed. The letter from "A Woman" was
written with a pen, but the spiritualistic
communication was made with a lead pen
Gil. Governor Durbin regarded the matter
as the attempt of some crank to get n
little notoriety out of the celebrated case.
The old matter of the Taylor and Finley
requisition was revived again Yesterday In
certain newspapers. but at the Governors
office nothing official had been developed
In the case. "It looks to me very much as

That Oficial Severely Denounced by
Governor Stanley.

TOPEKA, jan 15.-Governor Stanley is
very indignant over the lynching at Leav-
enworth. He says it will result in the
death penalty in Kansas. as IL should do.
Governor Stanley condemns Sheriff Ever
hardy. of ~Leavenworth. in unmeasured
terms. He says the sheriff should be made
to make suitable retribution, il such a thing
would be possible.
The sheriff of Leavenworth is either a
despicable scoundrel or a despicable cow
ard said the Governor tonight. ''There
was ro reason in the world why the negro
should not have been protected to the last.
The whole militia power OF the State would
be devoted 10 that effort, and the sheriff
knew Ii all the time. I ordered the militia
of Lawrence and Topeka TO be ready. ami
they would have been sent 10 the scene
of the trouble the minute the sheriff would
say he needed them.
Instead of that. however. the sheriff
was very sure that he could guard the man.
Upon receiving repeated assurances from
Sheriff Everhardy that he could and would
protect the prisoner TO the last very re-
l~uctantly countermanded the order for the
troops TO go 10 Leavenworth. The warden
OF the penitentiary had no right to keep
Alexander there, as he had been convicted
of no crime. He could do nothing else thar
deliver MIN TO the sheriff when hat indi-
vidual insisted that IL should be done. But
the life OF the negro should have been pre-
served at all hazards. and IL is TO the last
ing shame of the great State OF Kansas
that such an infamous proceeding should
have been allowed TO take place, within a
few miles of the capital city.
