BUGGY RIDE SEQUEL.
Murder Trial of Extraordinary
Interest Is On.

Houston. Va, June 25.-Trial of for
mer Judge w G. Loving of Nelson
county for the murder of Theodore
Estes. son of Sheriff M. K. Estes. of
that county, began ain circuit court
here. Judge William r. Barksdale is
presiding. Both prosecution and de
tense announced ready for trial. This
trial promises to eclipse in interest
the sensational McCue and Strothers.
ByWaters case in Culpepper 1t will
put to the test again the much talked
OF "unwritten law" Judge Loving,
armed with double-barreT shotgun
instantly killed Estes while the latter
was unloading a car of fertilizer at
Oakridge, April %. The shooting was
the sequel of buggy ride taken on
the evening prior to the homicide by
young Estes with Miss Elizabeth Low.
ing. the nineteen-year-old daughter of
Judge Loving. The girl when brought
home had been drinking and alleged
that her escort had been maltreating
her. Acting under the impulse that
his daughter had been drugged and as
saulted, Judge Loving Immediately
went in search of Estes.
Backed by the millions of Thomas
F. Ryan. whose Virginia estate he has
been overseer of for a number of
years and with powerful political in
fluence, every device known to the
legal fraternity will be awaited of in
efforts of counsel for the defense to
acquit Judge Loving. The plea of the
defense is emotional insanity and the
"unwritten law" Relatives of young
Estes whose family connections ex.
tend to the governor of this state, will
exert every effort to clear the memory
OF the dead man from any wrongdoing.

A HORRIBLE CRIME.

1t is not possible to express in wor i
the indignation felt in the contemplation
of the er1orn1ity of crime SO revolving
in its every feature as the abduction ant
the murder of Walter Lamana, aged
years.
Let every father and every mother
throughout this land realize but faintl,
the soul-raeking experience of Mr.. ane
Mrs Lamana, when they missed theil
son and traced him to the Black HAND
gang who demanded six thousand dol
lars for his ransom Let every paren
put himself in his place and then, per.
haps, the horror of this crime may bt
more thoroughly appreciated.
The kidnapping and murder of Wal
ter Lamana is one of the most atrocious
of crimes on the calendar of horrors in
Louisiana. Hanging is too good for the
scoundrels connected with it, and a trial
BY jury would seem mockery of JUS
tice.
In Louisiana the punishment for kid
mapping is a short term in prison. II
should be hanging. but as murder is
connected with this abduction, the par
Elephants may be convicted of murder,
and if they be not all hanged. they may
be sent to the penitentiary for life
term And yet such punishment would
be inadequate to the crime.
How revolving is this crime! The ten
derest sentiment of the human heart is
stillei, stifed with resentment; out
ragged beyond all possibility Of denounc-
ing, as it should be, this diabolical taxi
ing Of the life Of an innocent, defense
less boy, upon whose head a price in
money had been fixed irrevocably.
Such is the work Of the Black Hand,
! gang Of outlaws who have terrorized
their c61htrymea By threats of death and
kidnapping their children on refusal to
pay whatever price in money has been
fixed On the intended victims
How long will these outlaws be per-
mitted to have full sway in New Or
leans and in other sections of the Unit
ed States And yet these outlaws must
be surrounded with all the protection of
the military power Of the State, which
should always be subordinate to the civil
authority, but which, Of late, is rushed
