Graphic Story of OutIawry That Has Come From
Fostering Armed Union Camps

the day time, at long range from the
brush and woods; but it is evident
that your union miner is a mighty
poor shot. 1t is also remarkable that
the display of force on both sides, the
shooting almost nightly, and the use
of dynamite, the list of casualties is
not greater. AS a matter of fact only
three men have been killed since the
war commenced, and only eight or
ten more have been wounded. But
at any moment there may be an out
break that will cost many lives and
ruin much property.
State Of Terror Reiens.
Meanwhile a whole district lives in
state of terror, and the business of
mining the coal is conducted at a
greatly increased expense for the
maintenance of guards, the building
of log forts at the mine tipples, the
employment Of secret service men,
and the purchase of arms and ammu-
milton, not to mention the enormous
waste incurred in supporting in idle
ness for months on stretch the 400
or 500 men who, with their families,
are living on the scanty dole of the
United Mine Workers Association.
These men are in the camps or are
living in houses near the mines. 1t is
chiefly from those in the camps that
the trouble has come, and that the
danger is threatened. The bringing
together of from 200 to 300 armed
men in one camp is not a peaceful
indication, though the leaders of the
mob declare that they are proceeding
peaceably under the law and know
nothing of any acts of violence.
These leaders and organizers, by the
way. constitute another element of
waste, when the economy of the sit
uation is considered. They have
the f-f1cal headquarters at Madison,
vile, where a large staff is main
tanned in style and with a degree
of comfort that must be hil hly sat
isfactory to man accustomed to
painfully dig his living out of the
coal mines. It might be called
snap. 1t is even better than lying on
the grass and occasionally potting at
some unwary miner.
Militia in Sympathy.
And, then, there is the expense to
ho kok
county must bear the expense of the
guards when the operators ask for
their appointment. The state ordered
out the militia once, and might have
saved itself the trouble, as the SOL
diers were little better than a body
guard for the union agitators. The
remarkable thing is that the whole
ugly business could be stopped in 48
hours if the laws were enforced.
Webster county officials notified the
campers to leave or go to jail, and
they promptly moved out. 1t was
known in advance that Christian
county would not tolerate them, and
there has been no attempt to organ
ize a camp there But Hopkins
county seems to foster these law
breakers. though one camp is within
mile and half of Manlsonville,
the county seat, and the town itself
was fred into by men from the camp.
Adjt. Gen. Murray has recently made
second visit to the county and re-
ports no need of state troops. There
is none. A sheriff's posse eff 100
men could quickly stop the trouble.
But in the absence of official action
the situation is tense and the danger
acute.
The story of how the present de-
plorable conditions arose will be told
in subsequent letters. G. NJ. HI.

The Tragedy at Empire.

A few days ago a guard and a
miner at Empire, fifteen miles below
here, were fred upon. A deputy
sheriff tried to run down the men
who did the shooting, and was killed
by shot fred from the woods. A
soft-nosed bullet tore away great
part of his thigh. When L visited
the place few hours later twenty
five or thirty men received me,
nearly every one of them carrying a
rifle or pistol or both. Most of them
were negro miners, among them
being the man who early in the
morning had lain behind an embank-
ment while the long $3.50 bullets
plowed burrows in the ground by
him or sang over his body. Natur-
ally he hasn't great regard for the
union, and would have been a valua-
BILE member of any sheriff's posse
organized to rid the county Of the
marauders. So, likewise, would have
been the men of the same mine who
were fred at week or ten days ago
or those who were in the tipple al
Providence when that was shot into,
or the occupants of the house through
which sixteen rifle balls were shot
one night earlier in the trouble.
The great wonder is that, with al
this shooting, more persons have not
been killed and wounded. True, the
shooting is chiefly at night, or, If IL

GOV. DURBIN REFUSES
viii Not Return Taylor and Finley
to Judge Cantrelps
Court.
RED HOT DENUNcIAnoN
OF KENTUCKY JUDGE.

7. Durbin, in a lengthy communi.
tion addressed to j. O. w. Beck.
ham of Kentucky, refuses to
grant the requisition for the
extradition of ex-Gov. William
S. Taylor and Charles w. Finley,
who have been indicted by Ken
lucky courts for completely in the
murder of Gov. William Goebel.
The text Of Gov. Durbin's letter
to the governor of Kentucky fol-
lows:
Indianapolis, Ind, Nov. 2,
01.-Dear Sir: For the second
time acquisitions have been made
to the governor of this common
wealth, issued by your authority
asking for the extradition of
William S. Taylor and Charles
Finley, alleged fugitives from
justice from the state of Ken
lucky, and at this time residing
in the state Of Indiana. The in
dictment presented charges these
men with being accessories before
the fact of the wilful murder of
William Goebel. l respectfully
decline to honor the requisition.
"The reasons given for SINH
liar action on the part of my
predecessor, the lamented ex-
Gov. Mount, still obtain in a
pertinent manner as a basis for
this refusal, reinforced, as they
are, by events that have occurred
since that time which only tend
to establish the conviction TO
those who believe in equal and
exact justice under the law to all
men, that the time has not yet
arrived within the environments
OF this prosecution whereby an
unprejudiced and nonpartisan
hearing of a trial could be had.
| choose to make use of the right
and the duty as the executive Of
commonwealth TO exercise n dis
cretionary power of refusal to
the end that the purposes Of per-
secution may not force these men
before a court partisan to the
very extreme of vindictiveness
and a jury organized for convic-
tion in its personnel and impan-
elment.
sThe assassination of the late
William Goebel was a monstrous
crime, deplored, as l believe, by
every citizen of Indiana ana of
the republic. The spirit of as
sassination is the twin of anarchy.
If allowed to go unpunished there
could be no more serious crime
than that a citizen of a state, or
the official representative of the
commonwealth in any capacity
should be foully murdered as the
result of conspiracy or as indi-
vidual act.
Eyidsrc, Was Psriursd.
81 have given careful and con-
scientious consideration to the
evidence produced in the case al
ready heard of the person accused
of completely in the murder of
William Goebel, SO far as has
been placed in my hands by the
attorneys for the prosecution, and
/ unhesitatingly affirm that con-
viction based upon such a mass of
self-eyident perjury reflects the
poisoned passions of court and
jury, and strengthens the belief
that were those acquisitions hon.
ored l would be only aiding the
determination of the prosecution
to convict these men without any
reference to the law, justice or
fact. / cannot cause man from
whom the presumption of inno-
cence should never be stripped,
except by legal methods, to be
subjected to the rapine Of politi-
cal persecution. Kentucky is a

it has given to the Jurisprudence
of the country some of the ablest
lawyers of the nation; it has hon.
orable representation on the SUI
preme bench; it is the birthplace
of Abraham Lincoln, the embod-
iment of justice, who dedicated
his life to securing the rights of
all men under the law.
1t is a state wherein very gen.
orally justice has been signally
exemplified in the practice and
purposes of courts, and this hon.
orable record only emphasizes in
conspicuous comparison the obi
Gus acts which in the trial court
of Judge Cantrill, has been per-
mitted in the name of law, where
the life and liberty of citizens are
at stake. Can fair trial be had
for these under indictment? What
was the object in appropriatlng
one hundred thousand dollars for
the conviction of the suspected
murderers of William Goebel ?
Does not the evidence demon
strate that a portion of this sum
has been paid for perjury In
the recent trial of Caleb Powers
should judicial proprieties have
been outraged by the refusal of
Judge Cantrill to give a change
of venue from his hearing? Why
should a jury of twelve partisans
of the late Mr.. Goebel be selected
to try the cause at bar?
Recalls Political Case.
''In striking contrast to the
ultra partisenship of the Ken
tucky judge and jury, recall an
example of the profound sense of
justice that characterized a case,
largely political in it's character,
that came before the federal
courtin Indianapolis shortly after
the war. when party spirit was
at its zenith. The democratic
treasurer of Jennings county was
on trial. Gen. Harrison appeared
for the prosecution and ex-Gov.
Hendricks for the defense.
"The regular panel of jurymen
was in the box. Judge Walter
@. Gresham was on the bench.
Mr.. Hendricks first appealed to
the court for a political poll of
the jury, and then for a special
jury, to be composed of an equal
number from the democratic and
republican parties. He made a
most earnest and eloquent plea
that justice to his client and the
political character of the case de-
manded that the jury should be
evenly divided between the two
leading political parties, and no
advantage be given over his client
by the insiduous influences of a
preponderating partisan bias in
the jury. Judge Gresham, an
ardent republican, very promptly
granted the request, and a new
jury was empaneled, as asked for
by Mr.. Hendricks. Compare this
act of justice, based on the prop
osition that no political bias or
advantage should enter into the
jury box, with the record of the
court and jury in the cases that
have SO far had a hearing in the
trial of the alleged murderers of
Mr. Goebel.
On this subject Thomas Jeffer-
son wrote: Gan officer who Is in
trusted by the law with the sacred
duty of naming judges of life and
death for his fellow citizens, and
who selects them from among his
political and party friends, ought
never to have in his power Sec
ond abuse of that tremendous
magnitude.
