years, and all the facts 60 to show

ing an oath she was convicted
Her name is Plume Hall, and
with a man named Ferrell she
was convicted in Marlboro coun-
ty of killing Watson Hall, her
husband. There is no doubt
about the guilt of the man, for
he has confessed and exonerated
the woman from all participation
IN murder of even,any[ know
ledge of it. When the trial was
had letter was produced from
the woman to the man n'rwhich
she warned him "not to do what
he intended" " This was taken
by the prosecution as evidence of
her knowledge of the crime.
Her attorney Mr.. Clayton, of
Florence, got all of her CORES
pondence with Ferrell and he
claims that it would absolutely
have proven her innocence, but
to his surprise, and everybody
else's, she absolutely refused to
take the stand, saying she was
a member of a sect known as
"Holiness and Sanctifed" people
and that they had told her that
She should answer her accusers
neither aye nor nay, for the Lord
would take care of her and bring
her out of her trouble. 1t didn't
turn out that way, for aplaln, a
ordinary, practical jury convicted
her and she was sentenced. All
of these facts have brought out in

under consideration. This is not

In Congress VIII Demand 2
Some Explanation.

Washington, Jan. 6.-Southern
Democrats are not at all pleased
at the action of President Roose-
welt in closing the postoffice at In
dianola, Miss. They.C generally
agree that the offenders IN the
community should have been pun
iShed, but think it a hardship to
make the entire community suf-
fer.
Representative Gaines, of Ten
nessee, voiced the general senti-
ment when he said:
"The people of Iudianola may
have disobeyed the law, but that
does not empower the president
to suspend the law. 1t is the du-
ty of the president to execute and
not suppress the law. By sus-
pending the law creating the post
office at lndianola he becomes him
self u law breaker, and lawlessly
and recklessly deprives the pa
troLs of this Cpostoffice to have
this postoffice with it's usual bene-
hts' If he can thus stop the mail
being carried and delivered at In,
dlanola he can at will treat New
York or any other city in the same
way. If the postmistrees at Indi-
anola has been assaulted, or her
official rights illegally interrupted
or interferred with, it is the duty
of the president to enforce the
laws enacted to punish the guilty
offenders. l know of no law that
gives the president the right to
punish the whole people, the in
nocent and guilty, by suspendlug
the postotfiee law establishing q
delivery service at Indianola.
This is a government of laws and
