Eighteen Years.


The jury in the Circuit Court
last Thursday evening brought in
a verdict of guilty of murder in
the second degree against James
Chamblin and fixed his punishment
at eighteen years in the peniten-
tiary.
Chamblin seemed to be very
much pleased at the verdict, it be-
ing the generally-expressedo opinion
that he would receive the death
penalty.
Chamblin will be taken to Rich
mond to begin serving out his time
as soon as a guard from Richmond
can be sent here. "Cbippy" Norris
will be taken down at the same
time.
The crime for which Chamblin
was convicted was the murder of
his mistress, Flora Alexander. in a
little tenant house on the Powers
farm, near Wickliffe, on the night
of September s, last.
The facts of the case, as develop
ed from the testimony at the trial.
are as follows:
Chamblin had been living with
Flora Alexander for about a year.
She had been trying for several
months to induce him TO marry
her, but without success. On the
night of the murder, Hampton
Smith, an old colored man who oc-
cupied the upper floor Of the house,
heard two pistol shots, followed
by a cry of "Oh, James ;" \ few
moments afterwards he went down
stairs and called out asking what
was the matter. He received NO
reply. About six o'clock Friday
morning he came down again. and
found the girls dead body. Cham
bin had left his place of work
Thursday evening late and said he
would return by II o'clock that
night. He did not return As he
promised, but was seen coming
from the direction of the stable
shortly after four o'clock the next
morning.
\ letter was found in the room
with the dead girl purpOrting 10 be
written by her, in which she told
of an intention TO commit suicide.
This letter was compared with one
written by Chamblin since being
in Jail here, and were pronounced
by Col. f. B. Hay, the handwrit,
ing expert, 10 be in the same hand.
Other writings of Chamblin' =
letters, memorandum-book notes
etc, were also compared and found
Identical.
There was evidently no doubt In
the minds of the jury concerning
Chamblin's guilt, as the jury re.
turned a verdict in thirty minutes
after the case was turned over tC
them for consideration.
As stated above, Chamblin seem
ed pleased at the verdict on Thurs
day, but when talked to Friday
evening by this writer he said he
did not get justice. He remarked
that if he had got justice he would
have been allowed to go home &
free man. \ bystander remarked
"Chamblin, YOU were lucky as il
is, which seems to express tn,
opinion of the general public.

RUSSIAN BARBARITY.

~ HE Paris cable dispatch in yesterdays Public
~ Ledger discloses barbarities on the part of the
Russian Government and its agents which will
make profound impression in France if the state
ments of fact are credited. The news is contained
in letter from the regular St. Petersburg CORES
pondent of the Temps which is not only one of the
most conservative and trustworth of French news
papers, but is also in close aflaton with the French
Ministry, and therefore worthy of notice.
1t appears that after the massacre by the
troops in the so-called riot, which deliberately
encouraged by the Russian Government in order
that it might strike savage blow at the people, as
many as 2195 dead bodies were counted in the city
hospitals But the extent of the slaughter does
not constitute the enormty which characterizes the
Russian system. The police had recourse to the
rack and the scourge, to the most cruel, hdeous and
revolving tortures, in order to extract confessions
and manufacture Il case against the ''roters' as
justification of the Governments crime. A girl
who had been mangled in the streets by the Cos
sacks was questioned by the police, who wished to
show that she belonged to anarchist organization.
When she revealed nothing, she fayed with
rods and beaten to such state of weakness and
terror that she, of course, confessed anything that
was demanded of her. Wounded students and others
are being scourged and the police faying wound
ed and sick men and women indiiferently in the
hospitals in order to eXtort confessions in accord
ance with the official requirements.
These stories, whether they can be substantial
ed not, will find ready credence in Russia and in
Europe and will not only intensity the horror
which is felt for that deteStabe system called gov
ernment but will hasten the day of reckoning which
powerful forces within the empire preparing for
a dynasty and government which are now general
y recognized to be nothing but an anachronistic
barbarsm with the thinnest kind of veneer of civil
zation

LAUGHS AT HIS OWN DupL1c1rY.

a OHOhl time ago man or nigh standing In
~ the business world and of unquestioned integ-
rity announced he would make move in the
direction of having ousted from the United States
senate one OF the senator's, man who is not only
senator where he is supposed to represent the peo
pie but who also represents the express companies
from one of which he draws princely salary as
president.
81 laugh at such things" said Senator Platt
Please do not make it appear regard this as seri-
Gus it is only funny"
And so far as the senator is concerned that was
ALL
But was it really funny?
The thought back of Mr.. Post who made the
attack on the senator from New York, was that a
man could not honestly serve his constituents while
he is at the same time serving corporation, or a
number of corporations with interests diametrically
opposed to the interests of the senator's constituents
as whole and therefore, that the senator ought
to be forced to give up position or the other.
In other words, man having two masters
should be forced to sever his relations with one of
them.
And making the case personal to the senator
from New York it night be we'll to inquire if he
has in fact served his constituents before accepting
conclusive the statement that he has better
ed the private interests which pay him the best sal
ary.
What has Senator Platt done as a great legisla-
tor representing the Empire state What con-
structlve legislation Is his What bill did ne father
and push through! What reform has he advanced!
Has he ever done anything to make it plain that he
represents the people!
With these questions answered-and almost
everyone can frame an answer to suit himself-it
will be easy to determine whether he has served both
his masters WELL 1t is certain he has done well by
the express companies.
And yet the of the senior senator from
New York is typical of many cases which might be
nitn Ehnr ,har, ,fth thn ,t,1
States senate whose conduct would indicate that
they are not there just to the interests of the
men who sent them there.
This is what is the matter with the senate.
This is the thing which makes possible senatorial
dignity. This is why the public has little confd-
ence in the senate 1t is reason why the pres
ident of the United States has dared to defy the
senate in the important matter of treaty
There should be fewer in the senate who
merely laugh when their dupcity is exposed.

admittance. The subjects discussed were
listened to with much interest at each
session. Washingtonville is having one

their bad behavior, prevented those wh1
did come to hear from being able to, be

AMERICA >REBUKED IN LONDON.

"A T a banquet recently given in London by the
~ American Society, on Trafalgar Square, Sir
Edward Clarke sarcastically denied the title
"America," declaring that the word ''Amercan''
implied domination the whole of the Western
Hemisphere, which the United States does not pos
sess and is not entitled to, Great Britain is terri
torally larger Power on the American Continent
than the United States. Sir Edward suggested that
more suitable title would be 'sUsona," signifying
United States of North America. Mr. Clarke pro
ceeded to refer to the miserable underpayment of
American Judges and Americas waste of energies
in providing for survivors of the Civil War, and in
building ironclads which she could never use.
Ambassador Choate, replying, said that Amer
leans were quite satisfied with their name.
The 1ntelligencer objects to the English gentle
mans objections. Had the boomln, red coated
fellows from over the ocean been successful in 1776
and 1912, then they might have had something to
say on the subject, but at present propose to
call the greatest country on the face of the earth
just what we please, and we think ''Amerca" is the
right word in the right place.
