this morning and hanged to a tree. after
which many shots were fired into his
body. He made no statement about the
attempted rape with which he was
charged. The coroner took charge of the
body at daylight.
This was the second attempt in two
days to lynch Strauss the first one on
Sunday night having resulted in the Sc
rious wounding Of Ave white men. Strauss
had been taken from the Bunkie jail and
escaped during almost total darkness
while his captors were shooting promis-
cuously. 1t was also alleged that ne

race feeling thus Stirred up was made
worse by the fact that previous to the at
tempted lynching two negroes had been
shot at Bunkie while quarreling with

MOTHER
TELLS HER STORY
Defends Herself Against Accu-

WIRED NIGHT OF KILLING
Mrs. Holman Denies That She Helped

for Her Daughter Is
Unaltered.
WIRED NIGHT OF KILLING

self against the accusations expressed and
implied against her during the Thaw
trial.
The statement opens by saying that two
nights after the night upon which Harry
Thaw shot Stanford White, she received
this telegram from her daughter:
1T is most important for you to say
absolutely nothing"
Until now she has remained silent and
has been forced to take the defensive be-
cause of the attack mace upon her by
Thaw jury.
She denied that she aided the district
attorney in any way, and that she had
been seen by Mr.. Jerome, Mr. Garvan or
Mr.. Hartridge.
Details Struggles.
Mrs. Holman then details her struggle
following the death of her first hus-
band, in her efforts to properly raise her
two children, and says her daughter first
posed for an artist named Storm of Phil
adelpha, who met Evelyn at Cresson,
Pa, a summer resort, when a little girl.
Florence" she says, was in love
with the stage.
She did everything to discourage her,
but it was useless.
The story of Florence first meeting with
Stanford White, she says, is substan-
TALLY as told by her on the witness stand.
When Florence returned she told her
mother she had met the grandest man.
and later when Mr. White sent for her,
she went to his office
Mr.. White, she said warned her spe-
cidcally against several young men with
whom Florence had become acquainted,
but did not refer to Thaw,
His manner, words and actions were
the porsonification of wholo-hearted, dis
Interested generosity, Mrs. Holman says
and II ever a woman reposed implicit
confidence IN man she says she did
Mrs. Holman then asserts il Florence un-
derwent the experience that is said tt
have befallen her, she did not take her
into her confidence. Continuing, she
says:
Had she told me what she told the
Thaw jury. It would not have been neces-
sary for Harry Thaw to kill Stanford
White. / would have done 1t myself"
Trip to Europe.
Speaking of the European trip, Mrs
Holman says:
Every detail of the trip was and is a
nightmare to me. Mr.. Thaw Joined us in
Paris. Florence and | shared the same
apartments. Mr.. Thaw had apartments
by himself. There was no pleasure In the
tour for me. The things which appealed
TO Florence and Mr.. Thaw in the Paris
did not appeal to me. Florence testified
that we quarreled frequently while in
Paris, In fact continually. The disagree
ments were caused at my protests over
visits to various restaurants"
In closing Mrs. Holman says
II solemnly affirm that my love for
my daughter Is as deep and intense as
1t was when | first held her in my arms a
helpless babe. Regardless of all that has
transpired my affection Is unaltered. The
door of my home is open to her. and will
swing wide at her lightest tap today. to-
morrow and always, while ! live"

If You Want

suspicion that the governors physical and mental condition has been improv- ing very slowly, if at all. Now comes the news that he has suffered a relapse and it is uncertain what course will be taken by those having his case in charge. It is source of universal re- gret that Governor Little is in such a serious condition. The chances are that unless an almost unexpected change for the better comes very soon, he will not long survive. He is weak and emaciated and the thought of having so many burdens weighing upon him is certainly not conducive to speedy re- covery.
 There is much speculation as to who would be candidates for governor in case Governor Little should die or re- sign. In either event it is important that the governorsnip be settled prompt ly by a vote of the people. There can then be less room for complaint than when the governors office is filled by one who is not elected by the people.
 Let us not yet despair however. We cannot cross bridges until they are reached. Let us hope that all things are working together for the good of the people. and for Arkansas.
