Sheriff Shutter Says Confession Is a Re-
markable Document-Two Bodies.

Laporte. Ind, June 2-Sherih Shutter said TO-
day that only a Synopsis of the confession made
by Julius G. Truelson. of New York who is now in
jail in Vernon. Tex, has been made public
THE complete confession. said Sheriff Srnutzer
covers nineteen typewrttten pages and goes into
the most minute details OF Truelson's career as he
tells It, from 1903 TO the present time. Truelson
told things that could only be told by a person
actually familiar with them. He has defined the
Guinness house in detail, and I do not see how he
could have done that unless he had been there

is queer composition. but may bring him to
Laporte to test him two points Including
the location of the two bodies which ne said were
buried the railroad track. No bodies have
been found there. although we have dug in several
places. but Truelson says he direct us to the

Gin Compressed Cotton.

After a thorough discussion at

American cotton bale and the
other bales of other countries, to-
gether with the round bale, a
standard size gin compress bale
was unanimously recommended.
The size of this bale was Fl in
ches wide and 48 inches long,
and pressed to a destiny of from
35 to 38 pounds per cubic foot.
the bulk of the spinning industry
of the world was represented at
this conference, and this style
and size package was unanimous
ly recommended; and | do not see
why our people should hesitate
to conform to the wishes of our

baling.

The foreign trade desires gin
compressed cotton but their chief
criticism Of the American bale is
that it is badly wrapped with

1.-THE ENFORCEABLE CRIME. -
Comment on the lynehing of
the Negro Pigot.

The New Orleans World of
Tuesday contained the following
fair, unbiased comment on the
lynching of the negro pigot at
Brookhaven the day before and
sizes up the situations and con-
ditions as they exist:
Once more lynch law has held
high carnival in Mississippi and
the press teens with savage and
CHASTITY details Of the mob-killing
of Pigot, the negro rapist, at
Brookhayen.
THE circumstances of this last
human protest against the I'M
forgiveabie crime are peculiarly
narrowing. The negro was
manned, shot, hung, and mutt
lated, and there is a strong
picture Of the father, knife in
hand, struggling through the
guard to slash at the heart of the
manacled creature.
THE MALTA was set at
naught. ! The frenzied mob,
armed to a man, out numbering
the soldiers by twenty to one,
hemmed them in SO closely as to
render their weapons useless.
Officers were set upon and dis
armed.
THE situation was exceeding
" difficult; for it is to be re-
membered they were militiamen,
and, as such, came face to face
in the mob with their own
friends and kinsmen.
