The Examiners horrible mas
sacre of 10000 Jews failed to
come off according to contract.
On January 9TH the governor OF
Kishinef issued a proclamation
warning all citizens that the city
remains under a martial law, and
threatening with severest penal
ties any disturbers of the peace,
and the civilized world gives a
sigh of relief. Russian Christ
mas has passed and the threaten
ed massacre of the Jews of Kish-
ineff, which was planned, has
been averted. The Russian
minister of the interior, M. Won
Pleve, has made himself person.
ally responsible to the czar for
any fanatical outbreaks against
the Jews at Kishenef or else
where, during the holidays, and
he has also issued comprehensive
precautionary orders. And the
great sensation that the yellow
journals have exploited so ex-
tensively falls like punctured
balloon. The car seems to be
decent sort of a chap after all.
While it is necessary for the
news columns of a paper to con-
tain the news of the town, like
the lynching of the Rollers, and
recount as far as is consistent the
daily happenings, still it is not
meet that in its editorial columns
it should approve any act of vio-
1ence on the part Of the people,
or a part of them, even though
the common sentiment stamps it
as an act Of justice. That the
perpetrators Of this deed thought
themselves fully justified can be
seen by the fact that no attempt
at disguise was made, no pretense
of hiding the act. Without
masks, and without secrecy, the
victims were taken through the
town. over a public ferry, and
started well on the way they were
expected to depart Although
they were the rankest of fanatics
they had as much right to exer-
else their own peculiar supersti-
ton as we have ours. It is only
when those acts encroach on the
rights of others that any one has
the right to object. It is a we'll
known fact that the practice OF
this gang has driven one fair
young girl to insanity. But this
is not an exceptional case. The
statistics of the insane asy1ums
of the country show that a very
large percentage of the inmates
have been rendered insane from
the emotional effects of some re-
ngion. The law, unfortunately,
takes no cognizance of these
cases. But justice is above law,
and a relative of one of these
victims has the undoubted right
to claim reparation for this crime
even to the taking Of life. It is
the false sentiment that condones
these despicable crimes that de-
grades our civilization and pol
lutes our fountains of justice. 1t
is this that makes mob violence
possible. We are opposed to all
mobs, and to any such acts as
have disgraeed our town and
state in the last few days. We
hope we shall never have &C.
casion to again chronicle any
such breach Of law in Our county.

HUDSON CONVICTED.

The case Of John Hudson, char ged
with the killing of Tom Convert, was
called before Judge Evans Saturday and
at p. IN. that day the jury brought in u
verdict of manslsughter, fixing the
punishment at six years In the penitenti-
ary, Hudson s attorneys, Sam R. Chew
and Jess London, gave notice of appeal.
According to the reports current at
the time the killing occurred it was
thought Hudson was acting in self-de-
fense when he fired the fatal shot, but
the evidence brought ont at the trial
controverted this, and in the oppinion
of some of those who attended and
listened to the testimony Hudson got
away easy by being only found guilty
of manslaughter.
Prosecuting Attorney Cochran was
assisted in the prosecution of this case
by Attorney W. h. Neal.

Hughes Acquitted.

Under the above caption the local
editor Of The Argus takes occasion to
make covered thrust at Judge Evans,
and says: "Will drunkenness become
the successful plea for crime in Ar.
kHnsasH'
Now, it is well-known that the editor
of The Argus never heard any of the
testimony in the case, and while the
writer also did not hear it, he has 1t
from one Of the gentlemen who sat on
the case-and, by the way, one Of the
most conscientious Of our citizens-that
there WAS grave doubt as TO the inten-
tion Of Hughes TO steal the team, and
the ruling and charge of the judge In the
case was in line with the testimony
offered.
About three weeks ago q fine team of
mules, the property of VIM. Briley,
were taken from near the head of Main
street. When Mr.. Briley missed his
team he notified Sheriff Garrett and he
started on the trail and found the team
hitched near the roadside, some eight
miles from town, while Elmer Hughes,
the man on trial, was lying near in a
drunken stupor. Hughes WAS indicted
for the theft. During his trial he proved
good character at his home in the
territory, also that he was member of
an anti-horse thief association at Web
Der Falls. He further stoutly main
tanned that he purchased the outfit from
n man who had claimed 1t rs his,
Hughes, it was proven, was very much
under the influence of liquor when seen
leaving town, and had also been seen in
company with stranger, which lent
considerable color to his claim, and be-
ing in the condition he WAS he would
not have been as discriminating In buy.
ing as one should be.
This Is the grounds on which the jury
cleared Hughes, not on the grounds Of
stealing while drunk. They and the
judge believed, as the law provides, that
the prisoner should have the benefit Of
the doubt Ms to his intentions.
The editor Of The Argus is pecu-
liarly constructed in that he makes up
his mind MS to the guilt or innocence of
a person at the bar without taking into
consideration any Of the facts in the
case,

SPRUNG A SURPRISE.

A surprise was sprung on the public
by the grand jury last Wednesday when
they handed down indictments for mur-
der In the second degree against John
and Cathey Pitcock and Macy Rushing.
The indictments are the outcome Of
the tragedy which occurred at Alma on
the evening of August eth, when Jas.
Rushing and Henry Thompson met their
death and Jno. Pitcock Leon and Everett
Thompson and Macy Rushing were all
more or less cut and beaten up. The
grand jury ignored the charges against
the Thompson brothers, but found
against the others as above. They, be-
ing In the city at the time attending
court, were at once placed under arrest
by Sheriff Garrett and taken before
Judge Evans, who fixed their bail at
S3, 900, which all promptly gave.
The particulars, as related at the time ,
are still vivid in the memory of our
readers and they will, no doubt, be sur
prsed at the turn affairs have taken for
according to reports then given ont Jas.
Rushing and Henry Thompson inflicted
the death wounds on each other, the
others getting their cuts and blows in
fighting among themselves. There must
have been presented to that body testi.
mony not heretofore made public to
cause these indictments to be found.
