Reply to John Temple Graves by
Dean Rabbit.

Chautauqua, y. Y Aug. 12.-Rev. Dr.
Dean Richmond Babbitt. rector of the
Church of the Epiphany. Brooklyn. an
sWered John Temple Graves of Georgia
ia. an elaborate address today at the
ChaUtauQua assembly on lynching and
PtpDs from an Am arieln standpoint. DR.
BabbitJ's ADDRESS WAS tht. chief one OF
today on mobs. He cOutrasted the view
of lynching justified by Mr.. Graves with
what he called the more general and bet
ter view OF the american nation and
showed tn, prevalence and increasing vfO-
fence OF thc mob spirit. its tendency to
leap the color line and lynch for minor
offtnseS than assault and murder. He
DIV cit on the phraseOlogy of the mob and
gave the Wilmington lynching Of the
negro White, as typical. and denounced
the officials who refused TO protect any
prisoner Of any color or for any crime
He paid q glowing tribute to order and
law as represented in Governor Durbin
and Governor Yates Of Indiana and Illi-
nois. respectively, and upheld President
Roosevelt in his recent letter on lynch
ing. Lynchers, the speaker declared were
plain, burial, savage murderers. and
should be treated as such by the authori-
ties and by all worthy TO bear the name
of American citizens
More morality. less prejudice, stricter
law quickly applied fairer play to negro
and white, and both the race question
and the mob problem will assume less
dangerous dimensions" said Dr. Rabbit
in conclusion.

Crime Haworth Committed.

The brief filed with the supreme court
by the attorneys for Haworth gives the
following account of the crime for
which he viii have to pay the extreme
penalty of the law:
Thomas Sandal, Il nightwatchman
at the Farmers Union store, was muir
dered on the night of March 2S, 1899.
at Layton, Davis county, Utah. As
shown by the evidence Of William
Flint, a shot was heard at Layton
about midnight Of March IS, 1899. All
the evidence goes to show that the
crime was committed at about mid
night, and that was the claim of the
state and was not cOntrOverted by the
defense.
Sandal was found dead on his cot
in the store on the morning of March
%. 1898. The wound showed that he had
been shot with a shot gun. A searching
party was organized at once upon the
discovery of the murder An investiga-
ton showed that no window had been
entered and that no door was entered
from the outside. The back door had
been opened from the inside. At the
back of the building there was a coal
chute, and experiments with a stick
showed than an entrance might have
been effected through the coal chute.
The bolt, however. was in place the
next uiOfnDG- Inc coal chute led info
the cellar, and the door from the cellar
into the store proper. Mr.. Ellison
sWears this door from the cellar was
found locked in the morning.
Searching Parties Organized.
A searching party was organizes. on
the morning Of March %, and various
articles belonging to Sandal and also
an old sock We're found. An iron bar
was found in the well near the store THAI
morning. 1t was generally known in
Layton that such q bar was found and
the fact of its being found was pub
lished in The Salt Lake Herald the next
morning. The defendant was also told
of the iron bar.
In April, 1893, an old overcost was
found in field near Layton. also some
shells. and shot gun and SandaITs
pistol were found I'm a haystack near
Layton in September of that year.
