Professor Dunning of Columbia

papers of President Andrew
Johnson, stumbled upon the fact
that J0hnsol's first message to
congress was written by George
Bancroft. the historian. The
professor made another surprising
discovery in that he seven years
ago which ne has nov published

A FEARFUL
INDICTMENT

Less than n year ago this whole ma
ton was deeply interested in a certain
matter. Newspapers sold thousands
and thousands of extra copies because
of this matter. At millions Of tiresides
the eager question was: What was
done in the case tolay?" 1t was the alb
sorbing matter in the palaces Of the
avenue and the novels of the alley. Pol
iticians used il. Lecturers used il.
Preachers used it.. Authors used it.
Playwrights used il. 1t was the soul
absorbing topic of the times.
Two workmen, n Of them pretty
d~ull-witted, had killed "A score Of Ieo-
pie with dynamite as their protest
against the tyranny of capital and
were on trial for their lives.
Today a much greater case is before
the public. Let us become Interested.
Let us watch every word published.
Let us, above all else. keep our eyes

been killing men, women and children.

sluiees where the gold Is retained.
and then passes into the river in great

BY the court decision the placer
company must seek another channel
