INNOCENT OF THE EDMONTON
cRIME-coNFEssED SHE
GAGGED HERSELF.

Edmonton, April 13.-Fifteen-year-
old Hazel Huff, who figured In the
negro assault case here last week,
has confessed to the police that she
bound and gagged herself to hide the
loss of her ring and money. Wild
excitement reigned here last Tuesday
night, when neighbors found her In
the kitchen of her home on Sixth
street supposedly bound, gagged and
chloroformed. She told story of as
sault committed by black, burly
negro. The police arrested a colored
man, named ]. F. Wiltsue,, but allow
ed him to 60, as there was no case
against him.
Upon investigation 1t was learned
that nothing was stolen from the
house, that there were no bruises or
injuries on the girl from the alleged
assault, but that she had lost ring
and some money, which loss she fear
ed would bring reprimand and rebuke
from her parents. She thought out
the scheme Of binding her hands and
slipping a handkerchief around her
mouth, but made the error of tying
an eye bandage over her forehead in
stead of her eyes. This fact aroused
the suspicion Of the police, and when
openly charged with doing the deed
herself she confessed.-The Leth-
bridge Daily Herald.
This happened in Canada, where
blacks and whites are settling from
the Southland, and 1t shows that the
whites have not forgotten or forsaken
their native customs, are are infus-
ing among the Canadians, spirit of
race hatred and prejudice.
This girl (evidently Southerner)
knew that in the South, to accuse a
big, bury, Negro Of a crime, was evil
dence of his guilt, or IL native, she
had heard of, or read the stories of
lynching, and had become familiar
with Southern conditions. Although
wild excitement reigned and a Negro
twas arrested. He was released
riddled with bullets.
There was no case against him,
simply because a white woman ac-
cused him. Upon investigation 1t was
found that this, scion of the despised
element of superior race, had
maliciously lied. Such lies told in the
Southland, have caused the wholesale
butchery of innocent families by
those hot-headed hell hounds, who
never investigate, assuming that the
Negro has no rights that they should
respect - who administer Southern
justice with ropes and fire-brands,
