AN EXPLANATION
From Rev. Ramsey Ia Regard 10 Re
cent Criticism.

In view of the fac, that my reference to
the growth Of anarchy as in par, due to
neglect of the courts to adequately punish
criminals, as given in the Preston County
Journal Of September 30, 1901. and com
men,ed upon by The w. VA. ARGUS m
recent issues. viewed by many as reflection
upon the courts in this place, beg leave 10
state that my reference was to the genSral
principle, and that the special cases of the
eolored man who was lei off SO easily aud of
the Italian murderer who escaped any
punishment whatever, arc, l believe, more
fully due to the lack of law in reaching
such persons than TO lack of faithfulness 20
duty under the law. The prosecuting at
toTney and court officers Of Preston county
are, believe, as faithful to their duties as
any know. Aud from the information I
can gather, the escape of these raseals is no,
due TO them. feel ii my duty thus to
spare my opinion aud belief and that | did
not intend, and do not now intend to relee,
upon them personally. The Statement, "we
are glad to get rid of him" as applied to the
escaped murderer was not heard from any
court Official nor from any lawyer but ON
the street, as the general comment on the
incident.
This explanation l do not intend as any
re,raeiion from the position that ''no guilty
person should escape" but do intend il as
an eNculpa,ion of court officers from blame
for not using such means as the law allowed
in these eases. As FAR as can gather, they
are not to blame.
am glad that so many persons have
spoken so highly of the position taken, bu,
regret that any should be so wrought up
about it as TO charge the fault home to our
officers directly. II is the awful fact that
an adulierer and murderer got away from
us without punishment This is the fact.
as to where the fault lies, am Ignorant. |
have been kindly shown that it was not the
fault of the court or officers. Wherever,
the fault lies, | hope the fact will never
occur again. Some think this simply QUO
TO the necessities of the case that such
raseals escape. |, however, cling 20 the
belief that the law in some way or other Is
adequate. and that lynching is needless and
taking the law in ones own hands is
anarchisiic. Il. NJ. RAMSEY

The vice president then left imrne-

by W. Seward Webb, and came TO this
city as quickly as possible, having di-
rected that all messages would be held
Tor him here. The yacht was to have
gone to Arrow Point where a specia1
train was waiting for the vice press-
dent, but the train was sent on to Bur

to devise means to drive anarchists out
of that city.
Pittsburg. Kan. Sept. 6.-When the
Italian anarchists at Chicopee, near

a charge of obstructing the street. Sew

Not a man could be found in Salt
Lake yesterday who would admit that
he holds anarchistic views. although
It is an open secret that members of
the order are, or have been, identified
with Salt Lake City's popula ton.
President Charles Bonetti of the ItaI-
ian society says that so far as he
knows, there are no anarchists among
the italian population of the town. If
there are any they have escaped his
observation.
The last attempt made to preach an
archlSm in Salt Lake was about one
and half years ago, when q stranger
from Chicago secured a room over the
Council saloon on the pretext of talk
Ing socialism, and wound up his ad-
dress with an anarchistic discourse. in
the midst of which he was halted bv

occasion there was almost a riot. bur
