Trial of the
 Chisholm Murderers

One of the most reVolting crimes in the United States during the past century was the murder of the Chis- holm family at De kalb, Mississippi, on April 29 1877. It was the outcome of the peculiar sort of politics of that period in Mississippi, and was a tragedy af a feud that had existed for a number of years
 On Thursday evening, April 26, John w. Gully, a prominent citizen of kemper county, was assassinated by an unknown party. Evidence was given by two coloi ed men to the ef- jamin Rush. a white man, who had been instigated to it by Judge w. w. Chisholm and several others. Chis- holm and his son John were arrested, and Mrs. Chisholm and her daughter Cornelia insisted upon sharing their confinement.
 On the Sunday following a mob at tackled the jail and Chisholm was mortally wounded and his son and daughter killed. Miss Chisholm in de- lending her father shot and killed Dr. Rosser, and Ms Chisholm seriously wounded young Gully, whose father had beeen killed. Those whom the mob accused of being implicated with Chisholm in the murder of Gully were taken from the jail and hanged. Henry ]. Gully was later arrested charged with the shooting of Cor nelia Chisholm, and the trial was be- ntat,1 1Hn,. The Mississippi tragedy had so ex- cited the country that when the trial i took place representatives of all the l leading dailies were present as cor respondents.
 1 On the first day of the trial Mrs. | Chisholm was the chief witness. She related how Rosser had shot her son, John. and how another son, Clay, had
 carried the dead boy down the jail
 stairs, and how Cornelia, who had
 thrown her arms about her father to protect him, had been shot by Gully Gully also later fired the fatal shot
 which killed the father.
 Cornelia was carried home fatally wounded while Judge Chisholm was lassisted home by his wife and young son. Cornelia fingered until May l5 Iwhen she died from the effects of hei lwounds
 Among the witnesses were pr Chamberlain, who had attended Cor Inelia. He testified that she died from
 the effests of her wounds; that ont
 of the bones of her leg was injured land two of the bones of her arm were
 broken by buckshot, and that she wal wounded in the face by some blum instrument, and that no treatmen could have saved her life.
 The state made an effort to estab fish a conspiracy on the part Of Gull.
 and others to kill Chisholm, Cline
 and Rosenbaum, and that in carrying
 it into effect they killed Cornelia an

other parties. On this point the state gained no strength.
 Among the declarations made after the killing of Chisholm going to show a conspiracy was one by the defend ant that We have done what we came to do," and that If there is any hanging to be done, here is my neck"
 The defense closed it's case at 5:30 D. m. on September 10 and at 10 o'clock on the following morning the testimony was closed. District At torney Ford, in summing up, at tempted to show a conspiracy on the part of Henry J. Gully, the defendant, and others to murder Judge Chisholm, and that in carrying their design into effect Cornelia Chisholm was killed The strongest appeal for the prisoner was made by Colonel S. M Meek of Columbus, Miss, known as the Eagle orator of Mississippi
 The case was continued until the morning of September 12, when at 1O:30 o'clock Judge Morris closed his charge to the jury. The twelve men at once retired and were only out about half an hour when they re- turned a verdict of not guilty, and the political feud which had deprived wife of a husband and a mother of two children was at an end. At the time of the trial Mrs Chisholm re- sided in Washington and she was ac- companied to Mississippi by General Stewart l.. Woodford, an intimate friend, who remained with her during the trying ordeal

Care of Inebriates

Care of Inebriates
 Laquer compares the plague of tu berculosis to the plague of alcohol ism, and ranks the latter as of far greater import for the state and so- ciety. Tuberculosis does not leave such a trail of idiots, epileptics- de- generates and criminals as alcohol, and, fortunately no one profits by the spread of tuberculosis, while the millions of capital invested in the production and sale of alcoholic drinks are directly interested in per petuating and spreading the plague of liquor drinking He estimates at $25, ,000, 900 the annual expense to the German army, prisons, insane aSy- lums and hospitals caused by liquor drinking and states that while statis- tics in Germany show that percentage of death from tuberculosis had dropped from 3I in 1885 to 1.9 pe- cent in 1902, the number of patients admit ted to hospitals and asylums on ac- count of alcoholism had quadrupled ill this period. He advocates the or ganiZation of anti-alcoho dispen- sares and registers similar to those now being established for the tuber- culous in charge of physicians, with the cooperation of the police, insur . ance societies, charitable orsaniza- tions, etc. Dr. T. H. Ziehan pro lessor in the University of Berlin and director of the clinic for mental and nervous diseases, who is a most conservative writer, in pamphlet on the influences of alcohol on the nervous system says: 1 believe l can show that drink is wholly or largely responsible for every fifth case of mental disease in Germany l Dr. McNichol, of New York, says: ! Instead of the elixir of life, the l foundation of immortal life, it is the essence of depravity. the grave of 1 hope, the advance agent of death. ] Eminent German scientists claim that it is shown that effects of al : ] cohol are five times as extensive as l they were twenty years ago. and increased 300 per cent, although the | populdtlOn mas grown but 50 peI cent. in the same time.

OPEN FORUM FUR DEBATING
 STATE WIDE PROHIBITION

The very important issue of state wide prohibition has been raised. A campaign in favor of constitutional amendment will be shortly instituted. This. like all other important ques- tions has two sides, on each of which are found honest and intelligent per sons.
 The Republican has decided to pro- vide for a reasonable discussion of this issue in its pages. allowing to each side at least half column daily for signed articles. for which there will be no charge No anonymous article will be published.
 It Is only stipulated that the com nunications for and against prohibi-

ton be just and fair and that in no case shall there be any wild and ex- travagant statement that will in any way reflect upon the reputation of Phoenix for good order.
 It is suggested by The Republican that either side. desiring to avail it. self of this offer of space name a committee through which all matter relating to the issue shall be trans mitted. In such case, all communica- tions received at this office from other sources will be rejected. We believe that this arrangement is ne- cessary to keep the discussion within reasonable lines.
 No paid advertisements from either side will be accepted.
