Joseph Sherman Convicted of Induc-
ing Children to Beg and Steal.

When Joseph Sherman was presented
In the Police Court today. upon "A charge
OF vagrancy, II was declared that he 10
a modern FaRin. According to Detective
Johnston OF the first precinct station he
arrested Sherman Yesterday after Walter
Fawcett a six-year-old boy. had reported
that he had been taken by Sherman to a
dilapidated house In the alley between Sd
and Az streets and Pennsylvania avenue
and Missouri avenue and kept a prisoner.
In court today the child stated Ia Judge
Mullowny that Sherman met him on 10th
street northwest Monday afternoon and
later conveyed him to the abandoned
house Subsequently. he said he was
sent into the streets TO beg and afterward
returned to the house with a small
amount OF money collected and turned
the same over To Sherman.
The lad alleged that small Colored
boy was also held prisoner at the time
and went out from the place several times
and stole various articles of food.
The disappearance of the boy was re-
ported to the police by his uncle. William
Parrot of 132S New York avenue, and
when the little chap was found on the
streets he was induced to pilot the police
to the alley house and Sherman was
placed under arrest.
Sherman declared when placed on tria.
today that he had never seen the boy
before. but Judge Mullowny did NOT place
any credence in his story and fined him
$40 with the alternative of one year In the
workhouse. 1t was expected for "A time
that Assistant District Attorney Ralph
Given would file a charge of kidnapping
against Sherman. but when the case was
brought to his attention he did not regard
this action to be warranted under the cir
cumstances

COUNTY ATTORNEY
JOHN c. DUFFY
Writes Card in Reply to The
Courier Journal Editorial.

To the Public:
The Courier-Journal Of July 9th,
under the heading "The worst gov
erned state" accused the State adj
ministration and the officials Of
Christian and Trigg counties with
being responsible for the acts of law
.lessness in those counties arising out
of the fight Of the Tobacco Growers
against the Tobacco Trust, This in
dictment was sweeping in its terms
and characteristic Of it's attack on the
State Administration.
Having taken a strong and positive
stand for law and order, and having
done all in my power to uphold the
good name of my county, | mailed
the Courier-Journal reply to this
unwarranted attack so far as it APP
piled to myself and other officers of
Christian county, but having libeled
me with the other county officials it
has failed to show me the courtesy
of publishing my reply.
1t is true that my name was not
called and that am neither Sheriff,
Constable, Policeman nor Detective
, but as County Attorney it is my du
: ty to prosecute all persons charged
! with offenses in the Inferior Court
f and to assist the Commonwealthls AT
torney in the Circuit Court. If
! have failed in any Of these, | an
2 guilty of the indictment made by tn

Taken to Ashland City By

he had obtained employment as
driver. He agreed to accompany the

It has been supposed that the dis
sensions in the ranks of the Tobacco
Association at the Guthrie meeting
were due to differences Of opinion
between factions on questions Of
nolicv. but from speech by a prom
inent member at Keysburg, it devel-
ans that money matters are causing
some of the friction. Those who
have been figuring on the legitimate
sssets of the association for 1906 are
startled at the magnitude OF the
funds available. The sale OF $4,000
bopsheads at an average OIL Sl4o
would. at one per cent commission
bring in SIS, 200. The "a bundles o.
samples, probably 10 pounds. ina

t;on. would make $4,000 pounds
which sold at 7 cents would brlni

HORRIBLE, IF TRUE.

One of the most remarkable state
ments yet made by any one N re-
gard to the lawlessness in Trigg
county, is contained in the belated
account of the mobbing of S. P.
MoseIey's family, published in the
Cadiz Record, as part of an article
attempting to belittle the midnight
outrage. The following extract
contains the sensational charge:
"The reports first published stated
that the house of Moseley was shot
all to pieces and that at least wash
tub full of glass could have been
picked up on the floors of his house.
We have seen several Of the best
citizens of that community who have
been by MIR. Moseley's home since
this occurrence, and they say that
there is very little if any sign of the
house being shot up at all, and that
they were unable to see where any
of the windows had been broken.
However, ALL LIVING WITHIN HALF
A MILE of his residence agree that
there was evidently some whipping
going on, judging from the PLEAD
NGS THAT COULD BE HEARD THAT
NIGHT"
Here the bold, bare charge is
made against not one but all of
Moseley's neighbors living within
half mile, who for some reason not
stated happened to be awake at 1870
O'Clock, that they heard the plead
ings of the family, both father and
mother wounded and bleeding, cry
ing aloud until all of their neighbors
heard them half a mile away and yet
not one Of the "best citizens" went
to their relief. This is the worst
charge yet brought against the peo-
pie of Roaring Spring.
The editor of the Record owes it
to the people of Trigg county to tell
who these inhuman wretches were,
who made this confession to him.
Has any one of them been ito" as
well as "by" Mr.. Moseley's, or ex-
pressed word Of sympathy for his
wife and children? Has any one OF
them had the courage or the incli-
nation to tell what he saw and heard
and what somebody must know If
all of the people within half a mile
were awake and knew what was
"going on?" In the name of decen-
cy, who are these people who knew
so much and yet tell nothing to the
officers of the law Here are ear
witnesses to one of the most bastard
w and fendish Outrages that ever
went unpublished in any county
Will the Record name them or con-
its knowledge?

mo one has ever b e e r
prosecuted by me in any Of
the inferior courts. At the Februa-
ry and June terms Of the Christian
Circuit Court for this year Judge
Cooks charge to the Grand Jury on
this character of offenses was especi-
ally s rong, as is well known by ev-
erybody. Every known offense Of
this character was thoroughly inves-
tigatsd. Every witness who was
supposed to know anything about
the depredations was summoned be-
fore the Grand Jury. The Grand
Jury was held over into the third
week of Court for the sole purp rose
of investigating these outrages.
Private detectives were called up
on for assistance. In most cases it
appeared that a farmer had received
a note of warning stating what he
must do and what would happen if
ne did not comply. He did not, and
soon afterward discovered that his
plant bed had been scraped or sown
in grass, but beyond seeing a few
tracks he knew nothing of who did
it. In two others strong circumstan-
tial evidence was discovered but the
Grand Jury did not finally pass on
them and left them open for the
next grand jury for the reason that
some of the witnesses who were in
other counties did not appear and
were necessary to make out a case.
/ have never failed or refused to
do my duty in this or any other mat
ter as a prosecuting officer, and |
the Courier-Journal in the
face of its sweeping indictment to
one case in any particular connected
with those outrages in which I(or
any other officer of Christian county
for that matter) have failed to do
my whole duty. The charge that it
is the fault of the officials of Chris
tian county is as absurd as the state
ments that the State Administration
has more power to stop kukluXism
in Christian county than it has to
close Sunday saloons in Jefferson
County. An offender cannot be
prosecuted until he is caught. Even
a police officer under the old regime
in jefferson county could some
times find a saloon open on Sunday,
and the offense being committed in
his presence he had a right to make.
the arrest without a warrant. But
not so with the Might Rider" He
must be known before he can be
caught, he must be caught before he|
IAN be prosecuted. What can the
State Administration do against the
;o-called kukluxism in Christian
1t has already offered a re-
ward for the arrest and conviction
If the offenders. Troops in this APP
peaceful county would be
ess effective than a regiment of
British soldiers for hunting tigers in
india. The charge Of the Courier
Journal is utterly false and not war
.anted by a single fact.
Respectfully,
JNO. C. DUFFY,
County Attorney.
