Not Correctly Stated.

The Times Dispatch says that zone
of the charges against Mr.. Bruce is
that in pursuance of his profession, he
once defended II negro charged with
murder"
The statement Of the charge is, not
that Mr.. Bruce "deeended'' the
negro, but, that after the jury had
found verdict of guilty of murder in
the first degree, Mr.. Bruce continued
to pursue the matter, got up petitions
for Communication of sentence, succeed
ed in getting several reprieves and
thus attempting to defeat justice. The
negro escaped in the meantime, was
finally recaptured and hanged. Not
only was the State put to considerable
extra expense through Mr.. Bruce's
PERSISTENCE but the ends of Justice were
sought to be defeated.
So says Mr.. Dickinson in his won
derful "charge" against Mr.. Bruce.
Mr.. Bruce was loyal in his attempt
to save the life of man whom, no:
not only he himself but number of
prominent men in Wise counth believ-
ed should not be hanged. He went
farther than the mere letter of the law
and mis- oath as a lawyer legally de-
manded, and did all he could to save
the life of DOOR unfOrtunate monav
less black man
Mr.. Dickerson's "charge" would
have been foolish enough if it had only
censured Mr.. Bruce "for defending a
negro" but it become more so when
put in the language in which it was
made.

The Mccoy Fortune
In California a Myth.
Fake Probably Started by an
Inscriptions Attorney.

The story that has been going the
rounds of the press i'm this state that
man aamed Mccoy, who it was
alleged had died in California leaving
an estate of S25, 0OO,O 900 and no lineal
defendants, and that this vast fortune
would be distributed to lateral decend-
ants, who, for the most part resided in
this section, turns out to be without
foundation from beginning to end so
the GreenbIier Independent is inform
ed by Z. Z. Huffman of Anderson.
Mr.. Huffman is one OF the lateral
defendants and consequently interest
ed. A remarkable coincidence is the
fact that his nephew is Clerk In the
county in California in which it is
alleged Mccoy had died. Mr.. Huffman
wrote to his nephew for the facts in
the case. The nephew replied that he
had received hundreds of letters in
regard to the fortune, that there was
no such an estate, and that the fake
was probably started by an unscrupu-
lous attorney 10 order to make a few
dollars answering inquiries In regard
to it,-Rlueaeld Telegraph.

Mr.. SIemp and the ? Cent Rate

Mr.. Slemp and the Cent Rate.
Colonel Slemp, in his speech here
and at other places in the District. has
made the statement that by November
the first the State would have a 2-cent
rate on all the railroads. What does
Colonel Slemp mean? Everybody
knows that if we do get a 2-cent rate
it will be due to the Corporation
Commission and TO Democratic legis
lation, and if we do not get it the
failure will be due to the opposition of
the railroad; nearly all of whose
officials are Republicans. What is the
Colonel driving at anyway? Does he
simply run out of something to say
and substitute his little rate speech
for what Joe Wysor said he always
used when he lacked something to say?

WASHINGTON, June 5.-The
governments war against criminal
trusts is beginning to show results.
1t is frankly admitted by Attor-
ney General Moody that the hon
ors of war are not all on the gov
ernment's side. But neither are
they all on the side of the enemy,
and the fight has hardly more than
begun.
Three of the most powerful
trusts have already made notable
surrenders-the paper trust, the
tobacco trust and the western ele-
vator trust. Against the two for
mer the courts have entered judg-
ments, and as to the last mined
the court rulings promise a knock
out decree.
In addition to this under the in
terstat commerce laws or under
the Elkins rebate act, the govern
ment has collected 100000 in fines
from the Burlington road and its
officials; $4,000 in fines from Of
f1cials Of the Schwartzchild & Sulz-
burger Packing Co.; $1025 from
Hollis H. Price Of Kentucky, and
s3075 from S. Zorn, a Louisville
grain merchant

Beef Trust Boomerang.

The principal setback which At
torney General Moody has suffered
was in the beef trust prosecution,
in which the Immunity" decision
of Judge Humphrey resulted in a
complete miscarriage of justice.
The evidence which the govern
ment never had an opportunity to
present showed, it is said, numer-
GUS violations of the permanent in
functions which still stand against
the conspiracy to control the price
of cattle on the hoo1, to fix a uni
form and unreasonably high price
for the finished product, and to
secure illicit rebates from the rail-
ways.
The decree against Their pape
trust was secured only after the
fight had been carried to the
United States supreme court. The
result is the smashing Of the Gen.
eral Paper company. Now prices
have dropped nearly 30 per cent.
Antitrust prosecutions which
have been lost by the government
in addition to the beef trust case,
are the Colorado Fuel & Iron case
and the citrus fruit case.
The government has not aban-
doned the former case and expects
to reach the rebate violations in
some different way.
The citrus fruit case, which orig
mated in California, involved the
question of railroads right to
route it's freight. The government
won In the lower court and was re-
versed in the supreme court.
The case is still pending, but
prices have already taken a sub
stantial drop. A similar action was
brought against Allen & Robinson,
a lumber concern.
