FORFEITURE OF TWO BONDS

The trial of the tar and feathers case"
which attracted attention several months
ago because of the alleged taring of
Francis E. Bliss. jr., by Charles Marthin-
son, Henry c. Cole and James l.. White
in the cellar OF the Marthinson home.
1917 Kenyon street, set for today in the
Police Court, ended in the forfeiture of
$500 bond in the case of Marthinson, 500
as to Cole and a nolle pros as concerns
White.
When the case was called there was no
response. The prosecuting attorney then
asked for the forfeiture of the two bonds.
He explained that he had received let
ter from the prosecuting witness as fol-
lows:
Owing to publicity which the Marthn-
son case has been given and fearing that
by such publicity innocent parties may be
brought into this controversy, l respect
fully request you TO discontinue this ac-
ton. as to my mind in this way the ends
of justice are best subserved.
At the conclusion of the proceedings in
court Assistant United States Attorney
Ralph Given explained that several days
ago he was approached by Mr.. Bliss. who
said he was thinking very seriously of
asking that the matter be SO arranged
as to make it unnecessary to bring the
defendants to trial
Prosecuting Attorney Explains.
Following this interview Mr. Given
added. the attorneys for the defense
communicated with me, and on the
strength of the letter filed in court this
morning which Bliss gave them, / con-
sented to accept $500 forfeiture in the
case OF Marthinson and $1GO for Cole. 1t
was shown to me that White had nothing
TO do with the affair except to be drawn
in as an innocent witness. and could not
conscientiously do anything but enter a
nolle pros as to him..
1t is understood that all the parties con-
cerned have reached a definite agreement,
and with the forfeitures today the matter
Is permanently settled.

ruins of the burned house and in the
farm yard tell no definite story, except
that some fiendish hand has contrived
to take the lives of countless human
beings, and that this succession OF
crimes began many years ago.
Mrs. Bella Guinness, owner OF the
farm and occupant of the burned home
is know to have advertised herself
extensively as a comedy widow with
some means in quest of a husband
with a little money of his own. Num-
beers of men from various sections OF
the country answered these advertise
ments and a few of them visited the
farm. never to be seen again. Whether
these men persisted at the woman's
own hand, or whether the job of butch
ering them was delegated to another
may never be known-and 1t really
doesn't matter, since it is known that
she was the instrument by which they
were drawn to their death.
Whether or not the headless body
of a woman found in the ruins of the
burned home was that of the arch
murderess herself is a matter of dis
pute.
Rings and other trinkets worn by
the woman were found on the dead
body but the mind that was capable of
the conception and. execution of this
series of crimes could easily have con-
spired to throw the officers off the
track.
And the people of Laporte are said
and cherish the opinion that Mrs.
Guinness still lives-a homeless wan
derer-still looking for victims.
Little wonder that Harry Orchard
has ceased to gloat over his achieve
ments.

Who Obeys the LalD?

Hattiesburgans may well ask who
shall honor the law when its makers
refuse it respect and obedience? Who
is TO enforce obedience to law but the
good citizens and prominent people
of the community? If obedience to the
law may be refused by the respectable
and decent element of the population
who suffers? When disobedience to
the law becomes general or chronic,
is property safe? Is life pleasant?
Municipal legislators are not peace
officers-not members of the regular
ly constituted constabulary. But even
the makers of laws are not exempt
from penalties which such statutes
prescribe. And, at least by precept
and example, the lawmaker should
give his personal, moral support to the
laws which he has sworn to obey.
We talk about the folly of the guilt
OF anarchism, but those who go abou
with dynamite and bludgeon are no
half so dangerous in law-abidint
Christian community as the officer WHIT
hobnobs with criminals or violators o
the law.

their own hearts that they have trans
