REPEATS HIS STATEMENT.
Il. o. Hunter Says He Saw Nothing
Wrong at the BarthoIin Home.

TOLEDO, o., Aug. Re. o. Hunter,
said to be much desired by the Chicago po-
lice as a witness in the Bartholin murder
case, has not yet received summons TO go
to Chicago. He is the guest of his brother,
ex-County Treasurer Samuel Hunter, at
the Belvidere. Regarding the Bartholin
tragedy, Mr.. Hunter said: Il saw Mrs.
Bartholin the last time on July 4. l paid
my room rent. A week later L asked her
son VIII where his mother was, as the bed
in my room had not been made. He replied
that she was in Michigan. After that my
bed was properly taken care of. The next
time | saw him was July Is. AT that time
ne said he had heard nothing from the old
lady and borrowed some money with which
to pay the gas bills. Thursday, July 81,
Oscar Thompson told me he would nave to
close the house as Will Bartholin had gone
away to get married, so l left, ignorant of
the fact that l was living in the shadow of
an awful crime.
Il heard no unusual noises about the
house on the night of July 2, when the MUIR
der is supposed to have been committed,
and the relations between Will Bartholin
and his mother were apparently very pleas
ant. l noticed nothing unusual about Bar
tholin's conduct between July s and the
time 1 left. L never heard VIII speak of

THANKS FOR THEIR SERVICES
BRIEF SPEECH BY THE KING THAT
WAS HEARTILY CHEERED.
Victoria Cross Fastened on the Breast
of n Brave Sergeant-Suicide of an
Anarchist at Sea.

LONDON, Aug. 1.-TWO thousand colo
NAL troops here to attend the coronation,
including the Canadian contingent, were re-
viewed by King Edward this afternoon on
the grounds OF Buckingham Palace. The
King inspected the troops from the terrace,
where he was accompanied by Queen Alex
andra, Prince and Princess Henry of Prus-
STA and other royal personages, Earl Rob
erts, the commander-in-chief, General
Lord Kitchener, Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph
Chamberlain, several colonial premiers, and
King Lewanika, of Barotseland, all of
whom showed keen interest in the pic
turesque body of men arrayed in vari-col-
ored uniforms as they marched past in
single file. The King personally fastened
the Victoria Cross on the breast of Sergeant
Lawrence, the first man in line, after which
he retired to the shade of an awning and
left the distribution of the coronation med
ais to the Prince of Wales.
The members of the royal family were
amused at the unconventionality Of the
colonials who, after they had received med
ais, seated themselves comfortably on the
grass and smoked as they watched the
decoration of their comrades. When all
had received their medals the troops ad-
vanced and presented arms, while the
massed bands played the national anthem.
The King stepped forward and delivered an
inmate address, which was greeted with
cheers and waving of hats by the troops.
The King said: 1T has afforded me great
pleasure TO see you here to-day and &c
have the opportunity of expressing my high
appreciation of your patriotism and the
way you distinguished yourselves in South
Africa. The services you have rendered
the mother country will never be forgotten
by me, and they will, L am sure. cement
more firmly than ever the union of our dis
tant colonies with other parts of my great
empire. Your stay in England has beer
longer than originally intended owing tC
my illness, but | hope you have enjoyed II
and derived pleasure from visits to the
various parts of the land of your ancestor
God bless you all. L wish you a safe anC
pleasant return to your own countries"
King Edward in the course of the day
granted audiences and presented gold coro-
nation medals to five of the colonial pre-
miers who are now in London.

LYNCHING in MISSOURI
WHITE MAN AND NEGRO TAKEN
FROM JAIL AND STRUNG UP.
Were Accused of Killing n Wealthy
Farmer Who Surprised Them
His Henhouse.

LEXINGTON, Mo, Aug. 1.-Charles Sal
yers, white. and Harry Gates. colored. were
taken from the county Jail here by
a masked mob at 1:SO o'clock this morning
and lynched. They were charged with kill
ing George w. Johnson. a wealthy farmer,
who surprised them at his henhouse near
town a week ago. Before they were strung
up Salyers made a statement to the mob.
saying that Gates had fired the shot that
killed Johnson.
Salyers and Gates were arrested on the
day following the shooting, after an ex-
citing chase. Johnson was one of the
wealthiest and most respected men in the
community, and the feeling against the
two men was intense. Last night armed
men came to town by twos and threes,
most of them masked. They massed finally
near the courtyard in which the county
Jail is located. The mob was orderly and
we'll directed. each man going to his work
efficiently and effectively. A demand on
the jailer for the prisoner meeting with
refusal, several members of the mob, who
had come we'll prepared, broke in the outer
door and made quickly for the cells of the
murderers. II took thirty minutes to cut
through the steel doors.
SalyerS was taken out first, then Gates.
Without further ado the mob started with
their victims for a point half a mile south
of town. Their Salyers was granted per-
mission to make a statement. He said that
Gates had shot Johnson after firing three
times. and that when the last shot was
fired Gates had hold of Johnson. Before
being killed Johnson had exchanged shots
with the men, and Gates was found TO have
been shot in the right hip. Salyers's state
ment finished the men were quickly strung
up TO a tree. There they were left hang
ing. and the mob dispersed quietly. Only
one shot was fired, and that was to put
out an incandescent light in front Ola hv-
cry stable as the mob passed by on the
way to the scene OF the lynching.
Salyers, alias Sacks, had lived here for a
number of years. and left a family. He
had a bad reputation. Gates, who was
thirty years of age, has served a term in
the penitentiary for burglary committed
in Lexington.
