Within few days later every one
of the niger long-coats and beaver
hats had disappeared forever from
hthe historic halls of the old State
House and the hotel nearby was
almost deserted even the few car
petbaggers remaining in seclusiGr
with their doors securely locked and
| chained and their sleep distur III by
ftful dreams and sounds of shots.
The notes written by unknown hands
continued with alarming frequency
and the red shirted patriots of new
| freedom and a newer Statehood,
were visible day and night at every
corner and on every hand, until ne
name and fame and power of Wade
Hampton became byword on eve"
street, in every house and at all
times, on every lip it foretold the be-
ginning of the end of misrule, negro
power and carpetbagging throughout
the length and breadth of the Paimet-
to State, even then milked dry OF all
it's richness save the heritage o, un-
sullied manhood and the flower OF its
womanhood, many of whom had been
openly insulted, jostled on the streets
and degraded to the depths of de-
Spair by the growing boldness ot The
niggers and their vain, pompous airs
of superiority assumed.
| No one knows or ever will know
how the Klu KluX disposed of scores
of negro bodies that paid the penalty
for the vain exaltation, but one By
one they disappeared, sometimes with
mysterious assistance, and at other
times by fright by freight. Oft
times a rough wooden casket was laid
at their door in the night. Again a
brief note pinned to the door told
them in terse language what TO eX-
pect. Those who defied the Klu KluX
almost without exception slept in un-
marked graves within few short
days.

The troops now on the border and
in Mexico will be brought up to
total of approximately 175,0OO men
by this order. Officials said today
that the order would account for 3d.
900 men. 1t was stated authorita-

there and in addition there are 40,70O
Regulars. These figures account for
169, 900 men, and the recruiting au-
thorized after the guardsmen reach
the border is expected to increase the
number to 1850.

Officials of the war department ex-
plained the order as being intended

President Wilson and further to give
the guardsmen experience under semi
war conditions.

Of Mexico are in pitifl economic

Harlow Hatch Relates the
Events Prior to Death
of Sumner Brown
DESCRIBED TRIP
TO DANVILLE FARM
State Alleges That He Shot
Brown on Return to
st. Johnsbury

st. Johnsbury, Jan. 26.--Harlow Hatch
charged with manslaughter in connection
with the killing of Sumner Brown in
this place last July, took the stand in
his own defense this forenoon when the
case against him was reopened in Gale
donia county court. Hatch's testimony,
before the court adjourned at noon, was
concerned with story of an automobile
trip which he took on the day of the al
legged killing. In the car he went with
others to the home of Charles Thompson
in Danville and in Thompsons absence he
drew a pitcher of cider in what was
known as the apple room. The party
then started for st. Johnsbury on the
return trip home and Hatch had de-
scribed the journey as it was made as
far as the Joe's brook road, when the
court took a recess. 1t is alleged by the
state that the shooting occurred after
Hatch returned from the motor trip.
