HAMS ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS J.
Hams, who with drawn revolver
held off the crowd while his brother
killed a man accused OF seducing his
wife, has been found not guilty OF
murder or completely by a New YORK
Jury. There has seldom been a more
fragrant case, and as all the people
involved seem to have been about
equally bad there was not even the
usual excuse for the murder. This in
dicates that New York had better
take a little look into It's own lawless-
ness and failure to enforce the law.

other people that are fully as law
abiding as its citizens.

feated by Congressman BENJAMIN +.
Shively; the liquor interests and
some few temperance people uniting
against him In favor Of the liquor can
