FROM THE POINT

Mr.. Thomas Dixon, author of the
"Clansman,' has striking article IN.
the latest number of the Metropoii-
tap magazine on the subject of the
KuKlux Khan -
Mr. Dixon says the Khan was the.
out growth OF Thaddeus Stevens IN
ion League; and that instead of be-
ing composed OF "ruffians, despera-
does and scoundrels," the Invisible
Empire vas manned and differed by
the 'Ch;valry of the South"
From safe distance the Union
League encouraged and urged the
negroes to every form of extravagant
outrage on the rights and property
of the whites, or rather on such pro-
perty as was left them, for rights
they had none.
Close at hand the carpetbaggers
were combined with the negroes 10
wrest from the native whites the last
vesti 9 # their possessions and ID
drive them from the country by in
toierable oppression.
The effect OF these thing, on the
negroes vas such as to maze some
measure of self defense an absolute
| necessity. If Southern white people
were 10 remain i'll the South at all.
| But tat the KuKlux Khan was an
order u which all the remnant of the
"Chivalry OF the South acti, ely par.
ticipatc1 j. not the fact. Some hot
headed ard adventurous young men
OF this cass, raging under th> bitter
ness Il defeat and oppression, doubt
less seua,t in its methods an outlet
| for tier feelings, and theif fathers
and elder or more patient brothers
tacitly re ognized it as defense,
however unworthy, against some OF
| the worst features of an intolerablc
conditior; but the fact is that the
active members of the KuKlux Khan
were men OF the class now prominen,
in race wars, lynchings, and burnings
at the stake.
They may have been, and probably
often were, directed in their nocturn-
al movements by men who realized
that sonnet hing must be done, and
that this was the only practicable
way TO do it. 1t was the expedient
OF helpless and desperate people.
Mr.. Dixon should not be taken as
the mouthpiece OF the South-either
OF the South OF history made or to
come. He writes from the point of
view Of class which, before the war,
had no voice in the control of South
ern affairs or the moulding OF South
ern sentiment, and which never learn
ed any feeling save hatred and en-
nifty for the negroes
AS time goes on it becomes more
and more plain that the battles and
sieges of the four years between 1865
and 1864 were a small part of the
war betWcen the States 1t is the ten
years night and storm of the recon
structicn that the Southern people
remember with bitterness ard shud-
dering.
The history Of that time has not
yet been written. and will not be in
this generation.A part OF the share OF
the historic South in it has been told
with understanding and sympathy by

EIGHTEEN MONTHS IS GIVEN TO
 DAGGS.
(From Saturdays Daily )

It is now up to the supreme court of Arizona to say whether R. E. Daggs shall go to Yuma for the alleged at tempt to commit rape on Miss Esther Power or be granted another trial in the district court of Maricopa.
 Eighteen months in the Yuma peni- tentiary was the sentence imposed on Daggs Thursday morning by Justice Kent. If the appeal fails, Daggs w1Il have to serve that length of time; if it succeeds the lower court will be re- versed or the case remanded for trial.
 Having failed to get new trial at the hands of Justice Kent, attorneys for Daggs filed an appeal to the supreme court, where they hope to get the deci- sion of the jury that recently tried Daggs reversed.
 In fixing the appeal Colonel J. F. Wilson for Daggs, stated that there are a number of law points in the case that should go to that body for their con- sideration.
 District Attorney Baker combatted Wilson's statement by saying that no law points are involved that are of sui fcient magnitude to warrant the case going higher.
 Justice Kent did not agree with the district attorney, saying from the bench that there are several law points which have never geen settled by the supreme court of Arizona. He said that these were important enough to grant an appeal in the case.
 When it came to fixing the amount of Daggs' bail, through which he will gain his liberty until the supreme court meets in January next and passes upon his appeal. District Attorney Bak CT asked that the bail be fixed in the sum of $10,000.
 Colonel Wilson cOntended that this sum was too great, not being in keep- ing with the crime charged. Justice Kent finally fixed the bail in the sum of $5,000, which the defendant stated he would get during the day.
 In denying the motion for a new trial Justice Kent stated that the claims made by F. c. Rinderle and W. A. McDaniels were not greatly at variance. and that neither had per iured himself, their statements being easily reeonciled.
 Justice Kent said if Miss Powers statements had been made with eorrr- boration there might be grounds for .
Weekly Arizona journal-miner., 1905-12-13

new trial, but that the torn dress ex hibited during the trial and the fact that Miss Power told her sister about the alleged assault eorroborated her statements on the stand against the defendant.
 In the opinion of Justice Kent the alleged paper signed by the Power girls releasing the defendant for con sideration of money, was retroactive. He laid stress on the fact that special mention was made in the paper, that money was paid for hugging and kiss ing and for nothing else. It suggested to him the question as to why that clause had been inserted in the paper, if nothing but hugging and kissing ha.i taken place.
 Daggs was much disappointed when the court announced that he could not have a new trial. After being taken back to his cell he broke down, but stated that he had by no means given up hope, expecting that in the supreme court the decision of the lower court will be reversed.

JURY DISAGREES AS TO sIAs'
 GUILT.
(From Fridays Daily)

Up to the present, the case which at tracted the most attention during this term of court came to a close last ev- ening at TAO, when the jury in the case of James R. Sias, charged with embezzlement, were discharged, failing to agree upon a verdict, after being locked up since 3:3O last Tuesday af- ternoon.
 The case was especially interesting on account of the prominent position which Sias and the complaining wit ness, Roberts, held here in the public eye when the alleged crime was com mitted, and the trial of it was equally as interesting, from the fact that the district attorney and one of the attor- neys for the defense were witnesses for the prosecution.
 District Attorney Ellinwood was fol- lowed as a witness for the prosecution by Attorney P. W. O'Sullivan, of the well known law firm of Ross and O'Sullivan, who were retained by the defense, and O'Sullivan afterwards made the opening argument in the case, which was said by those who heard it to be one of the most eloquent and forcible efforts made by him during his legal career.
 As positively stated by the Journal Miner yesterday morning the jury stood nine for conviction and three for acquittal from the start, and it is said that the last ballot taken before the jury was discharged showed no change of heart on the part of the twelve men who were sworn to render a verdict according to the law and the evidence as presented to them.
 The following well known citizens of this county composed the jury: Thomas Pillar, c. H. French, J. Piles, F. H. Baldwin, I. B. Rogers, William Graham, Morgan Hoult, Fred E. Biles, T. J. Neiman, J. W. Avery, R. J. At kinson and Joseph Birch.
 This morning the court is expected to set the date for 6 new trlal.

INDIAN PAPoosE GOES UP IN
 SMOKE.
(From Sundays Daily.)

Thursday evening in the rocks to the north of town a little Indian pa poose died from the effects of pneu-
 monia presumably. Immediately af- ter the child had passed away, there was a rounding up of several bucks, and preparations made to burn the body. This was carried out to the letter, and the greater part of the night was taken up in so doing.
 The child belonged to a Cbimeuvis family, and the belief of this partieu- lar tribe is devoutly centered to this form of belief, and that tradition de- mands from those who survive the dead to cremate those who fall. either in sickness or through conflict, it be- ing of little moment where or when the end comes.
 This is said to be the third ease of cremation that has taken place among the Indians camped on the outskirts of this city by this particular tribe. The Mohaves and the Apaehes care for their dead by burial in the usual man. ner, but leave the immediate viein- ity after an occurrence of that kind. The Chimeuvis however, on the other hand, contend that they were created from above, and that when they leave. this sphere the eternal realms must be hence the cremation oe bodies in the open. They rigidly believe in the practice and sacredly obey it.

ACCUSED MORMON ACQUITTED BY
 JURY.
Qrom Fridays Daily.)

The case of A. V. Gibbons, a high
 priest of the Church of Latter Day
 Saints, and prominent resident ond
 business man and politician of the
 county of Apache, who is charged with
 unlawful cohabitation, occupied the
 attention of the United States Court
 yesterday almost during the entire
 day. The defendant was represented
 by Attorney Isaac Earth, of Apache
 county, and Attorneys R. E. Morrison
 and E. s. Clark, of this city, while the
 prosecution was conducted by J. L. B. Alexander, United States Attorney
 for Arizona, and his assistant, W.
 B. Kibbey.
 The case was given to the jury at
 5:15 p. m., and verdict of not guilty was returned when the court convened at 7:30, two hours and 15 minutes later.
 It appeared from the evidence that the defendant, who was raised from childhood member of the Mormon church, and who came to Utah in the party led by Brigham Young, in the early days, married Miss Elizabeth Harris, daughter of prominent Nor mon family in Washington, Utah, up on reaching mans estate. in the year 1875. Two years later he took unto himself plural wife, the sister of his first wife, Miss Ella Harris. Al few years later he emigrated to Apache county, Arizona, continuing his marital relations with both sisters until about eight years ago, when, after the pas sage of the Edmunds act, he made ar agreement to separate with his plural wife, Ella, who was then the mother of three children, giving her home at St. Johns, and some cattle and horses and other personal property to assist in the support of herself and children.
 Since that time, according to all the evidence presented, he has continued in good faith to live separate and apart from his plural wife, at times giving employment to her son, who is now 16 years of age, in order to assist the mo- ther in making livelihood for the family.
 Many witnesses were examined, but no evidence was produced which | tended to prove the charge. The only fact established was that he had visited i the home of the plural wife at times to meet his son, who was in his em- ployment a good deal of the time during the past three years, and who received for his labor by purchasing goods at the store at St. Johns, and having the same charged against his account with his father.
 Several witnesses were in court from Apache county, who were sum- money by the prosecution, and were not called upon to testify in the case. One in particular, Mrs. Addie Savage from Woodruff, who is an invalid, had to be carried into the courtroom yes terday morning, was never called upon to give evidence.
 Both wives were witnesses, and the plural wife's evidence was that since the separation the defendant had never lived in the same house with her, had never eaten at her table, and that ehe had not borne any children to him since the agreement was entered into.
 The verdict of the jury met with th@ of all the witnesses in the case, as well as those who were pre- sent in the courtroom while the mat ter was before the. court.

GOVERNOR MURPHY HAS HIS
 COAT OFF.
From saturdays Daily.)

N. O. Murphy, twice governor, and
 once delegate for Arizona, is in tho thick of the statehood fight in Wash ington, D. C., where he arrived several days ago to join the forces that are working to preserve the identity Of Arizona.
 Before the statehood fight is fairly on Governor Murphy will be joined by a number of other Arizonans who will take up the eudgel in behalf of this territory. Now that the President has taken a stand in favor of joint statehood, number will go there from Arizona to fight against his recommen- dation being carried out.
 On December 2 Murphy was inter viewed in Washington on the state hood matter, his views being of inter est locally, because they express the sentiment of many other residents of this territory.
 ''It is true," said he, "that there are some men in Arizona and quite number in New Mexico, especially in Albuquerque, who are anxious to see Arizona admitted to the union, no mat ter how she comes in, even if she is tied to New Mexico.
 "No man is more anxious to see Arizona admitted than myself, but we and I speak for the bulk of the thinking people of my territory-are opposed to being joined to New Mexico in order to get in. If we cannot get into the union any other way, we pre- fer to stay out.
 "The reason why this union is dis agreeable to us are many. First of all there are pronounced racial differences; then there are no common interests be- tween the two territories; third, there is the difference of law practice, the New Mexicans practieing under the common law, while we are under code; fourth, each territory has its own public buildings, and an entire diff ference of resources and liabilities.
 "But one of the great differences is the enormous distances we would have to travel if we were united, making us into almost another Texas. We would be as large as New England, New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia and Maryland combined.
 "The whole idea is repugnant to us. and because half a dozen men say otherwise, that is no proof that they carry with them the inducements of | the territory of Arizona.
 "The customers are anxious for this | unholy union because, first, they do | not want any further senatorial rep than they can help, for fear of diluting their senatorial power. The other reason is a political one They argue that if Oklahoma and In dian Territory are formed into one state it will be Democratic. They think they can offset this by making Arizona and New Mexico into one ho- nogenous whole Republican state. But this is not such sound argument to anyone who knows how easily states nay change their politics."
