Wytte Beall's interview. what II
stated concerning Gold Hiil Biii Nas
palpitating, and its narrative Of the
history OF the Hodges case preliinis
nary to that gentleman's .srontdn-
sous, nomination Is valuable hefi.
tage for posterity. Too great praise
cannot be accorded Col. Beall for
straight story Of an epochal ppiiticat
for preseryati lion the
archives General ionG
yet to- come are ntitled to have the
truth about the volcanic outbufst OF
spontanetty which resulted In the
ruin Of amore or less Indifferent uni
versity president. s So
With our well known mod ~
just hate to promo.e our personal
views to the forefront, and with dim
Guilty shunt our characteristic shyh61a
to one side long enough to remark
that in our opinion the most iinpbrs
tant phase Of Col. Beallss Interview
was not the double crossing by Chill
ton. nor the offer, of Q nomination In
exchange for the purchase of q lot ct
phony stock In bunk gold mine. nor
the treason to a long ling friend
ship, nor the fall from the clouds OF
one, Tom Hodges, who, Is Is now ap.
parent, had no business being In this
clouds anyhow--in our humble and
contrite Judgment these were minor
matters contained In the denoueinent.
The real, great, vital and Important
part of Col Beall' tobasco creed sWaa
none of these; but was, In our shrink
ing opinion. that part which spoke !
kind WORD. for the Hon. Judas IecArs
lot. According to Col. Beall. Mr..
Iscariot isn't SO rotten bad after ALL
Indeed. Col. Beall says, compared To-
Senator Chiffon. sPussyfo shafsr
and q few other eminent second
story men aftiliated with the Cold
Dust Twins, MI. Iscariot was gem
tleman. q scholar, and altogether 9
most charming and engaging fellow.

consequently when one hears 4 good

one is inclined to believe that finally
and at last the uneven scales OF jus-

as beloved DR.. Munyon says, there IS

Col. Beall says that Mr.. J. Iscaript
