Third Assassination Arouses Governor Wilson His Old
49, Time Vigor and Action
COLONEL BAssETT IN CONTROL.
Six Men Arrested and Governor Says County Officers
Must Hold Guilty Men Without Bail and
He Will Watch Them.

Frankfort. KY, Aug PA lengthy
and comprehensive statement. ex-
planning in detail the condition of
affairs in Lyon county. was made
yesterday by Gov. Wilson, part of
which follows:
MOST ATRoCIoUS TRAGEDY. "
Col. E. B. Bassett, on Monday,
August l, telegraphed the Governor
that he was just from the deathbed
scene of Cooper, which was charac-
terized as the last and most afro
cious night rider tragedy, and petit
toned the Governor in the name Of
humanity and civilization tc 'estab-
fish safety and law in that section.
and reported that this young man,
for no offense save fidelity to his
employer, Milton Oliver, the former
night rider, whose testimony secured
indictment and promised to secure
conviction of some of the night rid
ers, resulted in an attempt at his
assassination and his being shot in
his own home by somebody passing
along the road.
At"Col. Bassett telegraphed that he
i'd four of the murderers, including
the leader, and was after the others,
who were guilty beyond question,
and that he had refused to deliver
to the criminal authorities who
would not arrest and he feared
would turn these men loose on straw
bonds. That the people are terror
lied and the action taken has proved
salutary and should be sustained.
The Governor ordered prisoners
turned over to the civil authorities.
The Governor received August 2,
from ]. S. Hodges. county attorney,
and T. l.. Cash, sheriff Lyon county.
a telegram saying that they have
heard nothing further in regard to
the soldiers holding the prisoners.
The civil officers being anxious to do
their duty in this matter request
the Governor to wire them at once
his decision.
Hopkinsville Kentuckian. [volume] (Hopkinsville, Ky.) 1889-1918, 1910-08-04
NO NEED FOR HASTE.

1.-THE Governor has decided the
matter promptly and there is no oc-
casion for the undue haste of these
gentlemen in Lyon county. There
can be no question that the prisoners
will be securely held and will be
turned over to the civil authorities
with no chance to escape unless the
latter afford it, and the Governor
sees no reason, so far as their duties
are concerned, for the impressive in
terest shown in this telegraphic cor
respondence.
This correspondence relates to the
murder of Axiom Cooper, tenant
on the farm of Milton Oliver. The
Governor is satisfied that a reign of
terrorism and intimidation has been
instituted in this part Of the state
in order to prevent the conviction of
the night riders charged with felo-
NOUS conspiracy to intimidate and
injure others, and the fact that no
attempt was made by the county
authorities to arrest the men who
have been arrested by the soldiers
until after the soldiers took them ia
custody, has given great deal of
reason to think that the authorities
were not anxious to arrest or punish
them; but this will not be assumed
by the Governor,
STATE WATCHES OFFICERS.
HE will assume that the county
officers will do their duty, will take
these men in custody and instruct a
rigid investigation and hold them
over without bail if the proof is such
as would result in that procedure in
other like cases, so that the whole
State will know the conduct and
character of these officers, and the
Governor will be very glad If 1T
proves to be above suspicion or
question. But a cowardly murder
has been committed for Interior
purposes and the men who are prov

ed by reliable witnesses to have been
parties to the murder should be held
without bail. and the whole State
will fix its attention upon the con-
duct of the officers so that it will be
known whether they are faithful to
the duties with which the people
have trusted them and to the law
under which they are sworn to act,
or whether they are willing to con-
done this murder.
Proper action will be taken in
any event to uphold the law to aid
the civil officers in their performance
of duty, and the laws Of the State
will be enforced and upheld both
with the criminals. the officers and
the detachment of State guards. A
patrol will be established at once in
this region where this terrorism and
intimidation undoubtedly exists and
such measures will be taken that
order will be restored and every.
body will be safe"
DYNAMITE IN WHEAT.
Paducah, KY, Aug. 3.-Another
arrest was made Tuesday in the
night rider trouble, which has STIR
red up Lyon county for the past few
days. The coroner and the county
officials will probe the matter today.
there is much feeling on both sides.
Thomas Leitchfield stated that he
knew who fired the shot that killed
Axletree Cooper at the barbecue last
Saturday and will announce the
mans name at the investigation to-
morrow. The four men arrested by
the militia have not yet been turn.
ed over to the civil authorities, not
withstanding the instructions sent
to do so by Governor Wilson.
Dynamite was found yesterday in
wheat stacked for threshing on the
farm of Milton Oliver, the self-con-
fessed night rider, and the man who
was wounded several months ago,
presumably by night riders. Thresh-
ers employed by Oliver, on learning
of the dynamite, refused to handle
it. Cooper was a tenant on divers

and day by detachment of State
militia sent here by Governor Will.

sassination of Mr.. Oliver.
Shortly after Cooper died, Sunday
the troops arrested Frank Merricl
and Fred Mercer, who live in the
neighborhood of Wallonia. Roy
Mercer, a brother of Fred Mercer
was arrested Tuesday.

clared he had not received the Gov
ernor's instructions to that effect.

there are many OF the standpatters
who want either to go back or TO do
nothing at all Assuming that the
divisions of the party are equally hon
est, it is obvious that the contest be-
tween them is not trivial, although it
is to be hoped that it Is but temporary.
recur in this unparalleled situat-
ton to the calm and optimistic philos-
ophy of Abraham Lincoln, who In the
epochal debate OF 1858, after quoting
the maxium "a house divided against
itself cannot stand" said:
II believe this government cannot
endure permanently half slave and
half free. l do not expect the union
to be dissolved. / do not expect the.
house to fall, but do expect it will
cease to be divided. 1t will become
all fre thing or all the other"
1t Is even SO with the republican
party 1t cannot endure permanently
half progressive and half standpat. I
do not expect to see it either defeat
ed or dissolved, but it must speedily
become all progressive or all stand
pat.
