Jail.
Perhaps the most interesting of
the days proceedings was the tes-
timony Of Virgil Galbraith. the -
year-old son of the accused mob
leader.
Did YOU see Your father that
night?" he was asked.
Yes sir, / met him on the city
lot and we came 20 the public square
together
what was going Oh in the
square,
They were just stringing up the
second negrO?' replied the lad
Were You with your father all
the time?"
mo. sir; he left me for awhile. D.,
What happened before your faith
or left you?"
II heard some man saw that the
men who are hanging those niggers
are not better than the niggers
themselves"
What did your father saw"
He replied that If the man said
that again in the hearing of his
boy he would punch him in the
mouth"
he saw his father at Center and
Boonville streets, within half a
block OF the county Jail. He said
bis parent was going in the direc-
ton OF the county Jail. He remain
ed there until he saw the mob drag
the prisoners through the windows
of the county Jail. and then ne turn
ed and ran toward the square. The
boy declared he did not see his
father with a rope in his hands,
and neither did he see him with a
hammer.
z. r. W Grantham, who was a
member OF the police force at the
time Of the triple lynching, admitted
that he made no effort 20 check the
work of the mob.
Henry Flora testified that he
walked up the Boonville street hill
with Galbraith while the mob was
passing. and that he saw neither
lamp nor rope in the blacksmith s
hands

Of Texas, to-day sent the following
telegram TO Gen. F. &. Ainsworth,
military secretary at Washington:
In the morning papers here the
Associated Press states that Fort
Brown Will be abandoned. and
thank you 10 wire me IL this course
has been determined upon. II is

conditions on the border have i'm
proved very much within recent

and il would be regrettable that this
fort should be abandoned because

VIOLENCE NOT A TENET.

We do not believe in violence,
neither in the despised violence Of
the raid nor the Landed violence OF
the soldier. nor the barbarous vio-
lence Of the mob. but We do believe
in John Brown. in that incarnate
spirit OF justice. that hatred OF a
lie. that willingness 10 sacrifice mon
ey, reputation, and life itself on the
altar OF right. And here on the
scene OF John Browns martyrdOm
we rcconsecrate ourselves, our hon

cipation OF the race which John
Brown died 10 make free.
Our enemies. triumphant for the
present. are fighting the stars in
their courses. Justice and human
ity must prevail. We live TO tell
these dark brothers OF ours-scat-
tered In counsel wavering and weak
that no bride OF money or noto-
riety, no promise OF wealth or fame
Is worth the surrender OF a peoples
manhood or the loss OF a mans self
respect. We refuse TO surrender
the leadership OF this race to cow
ards and truckers. we are men /;
We will be treated as men. On this
rock we have planted our banners.
We will never give up, though the
trump OF doom find us still fighting.

TRIAL SHOWS MOB VICTIMS IN
NOCENT.

In the trial OF the mob cases.
whether a conviction Is had or not
the state has brought out one i'm
portant fact, and that is the three
colored men who were hanged by
the mob the night Of April Il were
innocent Of the crimes OF which
they had been accused.
The testimony of witnesses in the
Galbraith trial has substantiated
the findings of the special grand Jury
which investigated the triple lynch
ing. which was that neither Coker
nor Allen had attacked Mrs. Nina
Edwards. p atterson Is credited
with making a hard fight in the face
of many obstacles. The mob which
hanged and burned the three color
ed men was composed of nearly 3.
600 men and boys. When the
blacks were strung up from the e.
lectric light tower in the center OF
the public square IL ia estimated
that more than 1000 persons were
present, and yet out of all this vast
throng the state was only able to
find nineteen witnesses who gave
any direct testimony or identified
any OF the mob leaders, and three
OF this number are convicts now
serving terms in states prison.
Galbraith then said that when he
reached the square the second ne
gro was being hanged. He denied
that he procured the rope and made
the moose or that he took any part
In the hanging. He admitted that
he quarrelled with Harry William
son and threatened to slap his face
because he Williamson had said
that the white men who were hans
ing the negroes were no better than
the negroes.
Galbraith said that after the col.
ored men had been hanged he cut
OF a small piece OF the rope and
divided 1t among a half dozen trav,
/. cling statesmen as a memento of the
triple iynching. He then stamped
out the fire which was fast consum.
ing the colored mems bodies and
cut a strip Of cloth from a trousel
leg as a relic OF the hangings. He
said he then went home. Galbraitf
denied every statement of the wit
